Tink,

If you ever need a beta reader for your book, feel free to look me up. I'd be happy to give you some feedback. Good luck!

I am so happy for you, Brigid. You sure aren't wasting any time getting your writing career started. I've got my fingers crossed that I'll be reading my signed copy of Reborn real soon. :)

Great. I cant wait to read it. ;)

That is awesome news, Brigid! I can only imagine how excited you are. If you don't mind me asking. Which story did the agent ask to see? Is it one of your GoodReads stories or something else?

Cat,

At this point in your story, it's a little too early for me to make suggestions. I think we need to read a little bit more of the story to see if everything is meshing.

As I said before, I like what I see. The political intrigue between Tyan's jealous siblings works very well. And the prophecy is a nice touch. It sets the stage for things to come and helps to give your story direction.

I wouldn't worry too much about changing anything in the prologue or the first chapter. Any changes needing to be made will depend on whether or not the new chapters tell the story that was promised duiring the prologue and first chapter. This should be your main concern as you proceed forward.

Cat,

Call me silly, but I've been trying to find your thread for days. I was worried that you had removed it when it dawned on me that you might be using your real name now.

Anyhow, I've read your first chapter, starting with the prologue again, and thoroughly enjoyed it. This time aroud, there is no confusion on my part about where your story is headed. By expanding your story to include Tyan and the prophecy, everything seems to be much more fluid.

Remember what I said before about predictability? Now I can actually guess where your story is headed even though I am sure it has plenty of surprises along the way.

I just wanted to let you know that you are off to a great start with Fire Touched. Well done. I can't wait to read the rest! :)

Hi Kriss,

I'm going to check out your writing. I'll make sure to leave some commments for you.

Brigid,

I am happy to say that I am one of them. ;)

Thanks, Brigid. I hope you enjoy reading the rest of it! :)

If it means anything. Even though many of you in this group don't know it, I'm already inclined to follow the career of many of the people in this group. By having posted your work online for me to read, I already have begun to grow very familiar with the writing of many of our group members.

Without you guys even realizing it, I've already picked out several of the writers in this group whose writing I will want to continue to read in the future. This means that when the time comes that these writers have honed their skills and choose to publish their works, I will not have any hesitation to open up my wallet to purchase their writing.

Again, without even knowing it, many of you are already building yourself a readership, of which I am proud to include myself. For those writers in this group whose careers are being created right before our eyes, the rewards of gaining a readership seems to outweigh the risk of posting their work online since they will have plenty of readers already waiting to purchase their published material.

If a site like GoodReads had existed when I was a teenager, it would have helped me tremendously in my development as a writer as well as my career.

Tell me about it. ;)

Wow! I haven't had a chance to keep up with the goings on. I'm away for 2 days and this group explodes without me. I don't know when I'll ever catch up on my reading of everyone's writing!

Brigid,

Your blogsite looks great. Needless to say I'm following it. Look forward to keeping up with the latest news about your writing! :)

Since many writers legitimately are concerned about theft of their writing, I'd like to share this article with you. In the end, the decision and risk of posting your writing online ultimately lies with the writer. But this article will help to shed one author's perspective on the matter. Hope you guys find it useful.

Mizla,

I know you are not going to be around as much as before. But I just want to let you know that I am grateful to you for requesting that the book stores in your neck of the woods carry my book. You really are awesome. Good luck to you with school and all your endeavors. Set your mind to whatever it is you want to achieve and you will succeed. Cheers!

Brigid and Mizla,

I hope you enjoy reading Witch Bane! If anyone else is interested in getting a free copy of my book, just let me know. In the meantime, I've got a lot of reading to catch up on. You guys are pumping out new writing like a press machine!

Hi Marise!

I'm happy to see that you are now a member of this group. I see that you have been posting excerpts from your sequel. Since I'm a fan, I'm going to have to make some time to read it. Can't wait to see what new adventures you have in store for us. Hope everything is going well for you. I'll be monitoring this thread so that I can chime in on your discussions. Talk to you soon!

Amber,

You're being modest. That's okay. It's why you have people like me to brag for you! Your short story is great. It is well written and very moving. Of all the stories I've read so far from this group "Touched by an Angel" is among the most emotionally stirring pieces. From the very first sentence I was feeling the pain of the characters. That's no small feat by any measure. You should be proud of yourself.

I've got to go offline for a while. But as soon as I get a chance, I'll finish reading the rest of your work. It's been great so far. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have in store for me. Cheers!

Amber,

I've started reading your writing and have been enjoying it a lot. I'll make sure to leave my comments for you as I go through your writing. When I've read everything, I'll come back and post my thoughts for you here in your thread.
