What an interesting idea! :-)

I agree. *nod*

Let's call it "The Newbie-Writer Project". How is this for a trade mark?

Very catchy. :-)

[Calathea]

[Josh]

:-D It will be an interesting experiment. I give kudos to SC for being brave enough to share whatever may come. That takes guts.

She sounds a fun lady.

Does anyone else hear the sound of knees knocking, or is that just me? :D

Yep yep. You definitely are a brave lady, S.C. ;-) Does this mean that we can kinda adopt you, because you've already agreed to be Josh's guinea-pig? :-)

Nooooo, I can't hear knees knocking and teeth chattering, not at all... LOL.

Oh, and welcome to Josh's GR group! This is the place to be. :-)

[S.C.]

Thank you, Johanna! I was hoping someone would be willing to take me in and give me a swirly pop and wrap me in a cozy blanket! :D

:-)

Yeah, there are lots and lots of cosy blankets and warm woolen clothes where I'm coming from. I'm glad to borrow one so you can curl up on the comfy sofa here in Josh's living room.

So, you must be awfully excited about the upcoming release of Hard-Ass Is Here! (And if that isn't an intriguing title, I don't know what is.) ;-)

By the way, you are going to need the book title page (or whatever it's called) for the Hard-Ass Is Here here in GR. That way we can use the direct link to your book whenever we rave about it. ;-) I doubt that Loose Id is going to set it up for you... if I've understood correctly that's something that authors do themselves. *scratches her head*

[Karen]

I read the excerpt for Hard-ass is Here on S.C.'s blog page. And I want to read it now, today, not three days from now! (mini-tantrum ensues) http://scwynne.wordpress.com/

Loose Id has the excerpt link, but no excerpt up yet. http://www.loose-id.com/hardass-is-he...

And yes, you should get your GR book page up ASAP. Likely someone here in Josh's group could guide you. Hmmm... what else can I think of to add to the pressure (evil laugh)...

Seriously, I'd pre-order now if I could. I enjoy a well done employee-boss battle of wits/fighting attraction.

[Calathea]

Or an impatient user is going to do that. ;-)

Hard-ass is Here

And... you should claim your author profile as soon as possible so you can costumize it yourself.
(Go to the book page through the link above, click on your name, scroll to the bottom of the author page and click on the "Is this you? Let us know."-link.)

Calathea wrote: "Or an impatient user is going to do that. ;-)"

Thanks, Calathea!

[Johanna]

See, S.C.! You probably didn't even know you needed all these links and some of them are set up for you already. ;-) Thank you, Calathea!

And yes, I agree with Calathea about setting up your author profile here in GR as soon as possible. (No pressure, right?! *grin*)

[Carlita]

I read Josh's blog and I think this will be a fascinating adventure. I'm ready to order now as well. I think you'll finds lots of support on Josh's pages. Good luck, S.C.

Hey, S.C.'s blog page looks good! Thank you for posting the link, Karen. :-)

[Calathea]

I took liberty and added the blog-feed to the author page here on GR. I hope that's okay. If not, say the word and I'll find a way to remove it.

*nod nod* You probably want to follow this group's What else are you reading? thread in the near future, S.C. We'll be reading and discussing your book for sure. :-)

[Alison]

Welcome, S.C.! Looking forward to reading your book and following along on your adventure.
:)

[S.C.]

Thank you, Johanna. I will try to figure out how the heck to accomplish that. Thank you for your encouraging words!

Thank you, Johanna. I will keep a close eye on that thread. Well, one of my eyes my other one is busy! ;P

So far everyone is so supportive. Thank you so much, Carlita!

Sneak preview of KICK START on Josh's FB Fanpage.

[KC]

Welcome, SC! :-) I really hope this experiment will prove fun and productive for you.

Could you please add a "become a fan" button to your GR page? It's another way for people to keep track of new releases and blogs and such.

[Carlita]

I'm looking forward to Kick Start so much. Josh is such a tease! :-)

I'm sure SC has ZERO clue how to do that. Frankly, I have zero clue how to do that. I totally rely on readers.

In defense, I can't do everything. Does it sound like I have been thinking about this? I have. Because it is inevitable that one would feel guilty for letting stuff slide. But the truth is...I spent all of yesterday researching stuff, outlining, adding notes, answering email, doing laundry (someone has to! SO has enough with HIS laundry), etc.

It is actually mind boggling how much of my time is spent on essential not-writing tasks. I would not survive ten minutes without the readers who jump in to fill in the blanks of...well, everything web-related.

[S.C.]

Oh! I will try...I hope I don't accidentally put it on my forehead... :)

Oh, don't talk to me about laundry! I was folding up clean stuff this morning and thinking I hadn't seen no. 3 son's P.E. kit and he'd worn it on Friday - I remembered him being indignant they had to do rugby in the rain. Asked him about it when I got in from work this afternoon and... yep, you guessed it. It was still in his P.E. bag. Still wet. Still with grass clippings on.

That's one way of attracting new fans, I suppose!

[KC]

Well, that *could* come in handy; if strangers stop you and ask you why they should become your fans, you can tell them about the book ;-) (but test them first on their...world view)

At least the mystery was solved :-) I have a sock mystery going on - each week, for the past two weeks, one favorite sock disappears...

From bitter experience, I have decided that the only way not to lose socks is to keep them together all the time - the moment I take them off I fold them together, and I wash then like that. I do separate them to dry them - just; they dry next to each other and get folded together as soon as possible. It does seem to work!

It's called growth. With growth comes change. Yay, you, for not opting to rest on your laurels!

ABSOLUTELY! Tease away :-)

I think of it like it is with working out. Your creative muscles were tired and almost burned out, you rested throughout your Sabbatical, then now you are flexing your creativity again, it has become stronger. Growth, like KZ says. Good for you and your readers alike. :)

It's one of my mechanisms to prevent the agonising frustration I feel when I lose something and know it must be just there, if only I could see it! It only takes a second, and it becomes automatic. Just like only putting my car keys in a certain place - I'm protecting myself from myself.

Here's my theory. There is a laundry god. Like many gods, it demands sacrifices. But since it's basically a good, clean god, the sacrifices only have to be small ones. Socks fit the bill perfectly.

Hehe! that reminds me of Terry Pratchett's book. :-)

Well, does he have a Hermes complex? Should not I be the one to choose which socks i'm sacrificing?
