Mary Papastavrou | 52 comments Hello to everyone.
I'm Mary and I'm new in GR. I recently published my first novel, after a lifetime of scripts and plays and I'm truly desperate for people's opinions since I decided to communicate my writing.
It's a literary fiction dark comedy and is called How to Sew Pieces of Cloud Together. The story revolves around a prison experiment taking place into a remote villa. Prison inspectors Rita Hopper and Malcolm Cherry intrude for an unannounced visit but things don't run smoothly at all.

Is it appropriate for me to post a TEDx talk I did? The theme has to do with my book, Both Sides of the Bedside: From Oncology Nurse to Patient, an RN's Journey with Cancer.
Thanks,

Join with me.


You're weak. You know that though. You tell yourself this all day long every day every waking moment. Forever. You always tell yourself this you are always constantly telling yourself you are weak. You are. You know why you're weak, the reason you are weak is because you're insane but not because you are insane are you weak the reason you are weak is because you choose not to show that you are crazy. You must embrace who you are to become what you are meant to be. Look at that I'm starting to look like a motivational speaker and trust me that's not what I'm trying to be. I'm not here for you. I'm here for my own selfish greed. You feed me and I feed you. This IS the relationship we will have nothing more. I expect nothing but you to feed me and you will expect nothing from me except to feed you. Never ask me for anything. I have no interest in what you have. The only thing I am interested in is the sole fact that you are reading the words that I write. You are a vessel and another click. Nothing more. Never forget this. You are mine. - See more at: http://www.averagerambling.com/blog#s...

I'm a memoirist and a freelance writer (travel news, mostly), living half the year in France, the other half in my native Vermont. I'm working on the third book in a series called The Snowbird Chronicles. I wonder if anyone else in the group is working on a nonfiction series. Mine is a family saga that takes place in Africa, the U.S., and France. Thanks for creating this group. I need to spend more time here at Goodreads. Hard to write, read, and blog all at the same time, especially if you are slow at all three things (I'm slow at everything, including running).

Justin | 12 comments Sanity is very over rated. I just feel like we should all be able to express ourselves, no matter how crazy we get. Join with me and we shall discuss topics that society deems very taboo.

Newest members, welcome to the group.


message 1016: by Peggy (new)

Peggy A. | 38 comments I am new to Goodreads and I am finding navigating the site to be a real challenge. In this group, for example, I don't know how to find people with like interests. So each time I check in, it seems that there are a number of people wth whom I would like to connect, but I also don't know who I am missing and how to bridge the gap. All suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.


message 1017: by Bethany (new)

Bethany Ebert (heart77) | 14 comments Hi Peggy, you can always chat with people in the threads! Or you could message people in private, by clicking on their name and then finding the link that says "send message".

Besides this group, there are other groups to join for pretty much any interest you can think of. Go to the tab that says "Community", then "Groups" and do a search where it says "Find groups by title or description".

The Goodreads website also has a Help section that might be of use: https://www.goodreads.com/help

Thank you for your help. I signed up for Goodreads for our pet loss book Taking Care of Little Snoogie. I also write about health care, the health care crisis, and trauma. I have a book on the crisis almost ready to launch and a book on trauma in progress.

message 1027: by Tamara (new)

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 425 comments Hi Vincent,
I just joined this group. I've written three books, two of which are non-fiction. The third is a novel based on the Demeter/Persephone myth. I looked at your genre folders, but I couldn't find a heading that seemed to fit works of fiction that retell myths. Which is the appropriate folder for books based on mythology?
Thanks.

As the Dragon Flies, from "The Crystal Road", by Jan-Andrea Day

Instinctively, I find my way to a tall dandelion
which has just gone to seed.
I grasp the stem and pull myself out from this nymphal shell.
I molt from this burden and stretch as my length allows.
My wings dry in the breeze, they lighten and slip apart.
Then I spread them to their full splendor.

Elli Hunt | 14 comments Thanks Vincent,
I do appreciate this group although I am new, just joined. I've just published my first novel and the whole thing of promoting it has blown me away. I spend more time doing promo that writing right now. I hope that changes and soon and in a good way.
