Writing Help-Group For Everyone discussion
Introductions (FIRST STOP FOR NEWBIES)
Mod
Got any specific story you want me to check out, or...? ^_^
Probably Dreamland. Or Trust and Lies (but I see you already read the Prologue! :) )
Mod
It was really good, too.
I'm Jennifer and have been reading and writing for almost as long as I can remember. There was a time when I hated to read, but don't remember it too well and luckily that changed. Very recently I published my first book which is part of a series. I am supposed to release my second book this spring.I mostly like to read and write about animals,the relationships between humans and animals, magic, and the supernatural. I also read and write both fiction and nonfiction. I also, for some reason, really like superhero stories.
Besides reading and writing I also like TV, movies, video games, drawing (I do my book artwork), horseback riding with my favorite horse, Levi, spending time with my pets, and really anything fun. Recently this year I discovered that I liked blogging (which I thought I would hate) and now have a blog that I update every two weeks.
Based on very mixed feedback that my first book is recieving from friends, and other people I am looking to improve my writing, although probably for later books since none of the lower book reviews came until after the first book was published so even though I want to improve the next ones it won't do much good unless new readers were to read my series out of order, but still it's something I want to do. For some reason with my book it seems as if there are only two reviews that I am getting (with one exception here on Goodreads). This is that either people have loved the book and are waiting for the next one, or they stopped reading before the point where I think the book is at its best and never finished or read those stories.
This group also seems like a lot of fun so I thought maybe I would join and try it out.
Mod
Welcome to the group!
Hi, All--My name is Brijit and I just published my second book in screenplay format on Kindle. The bulk of my writing experience so far has been in screenplays, so I'll probably publish most them in that format until I can finish the book I really want to publish in novel format.
I'm fascinated by the writer's muse-- what inspires us? What twists our guts? What fills you with joy? What provokes you to action? My blog explores these things and if anyone is interested, I'll post the link here. I'd love to hear what inspires you!
Mod
I second all of that.

Greetings, Brijit. (That's an interesting way your name is spelled. :P) So glad to have yet another published author with us. And yes, by all means link away.

Thank you, Julius! In that case, here's a link to my blog: http://brijitreed.com/
I look forward to getting to know everyone and learning about what inspires them.

Hey, I'm kylie and I love books with a capital L x like a thousand! hehe! I have so many ideas for books from reading so much but it's hard for me to get starting on writing a novel and putting my thoughts and ideas onto paper so I would love tips and pointers and such.

Hey, Bridjit!! Thanks for joining the group! :D
The writer's muse is what gets all of us thinking. There is just so many ways to go about it, practically every answer and question is the correct one! Anyway, it's nice to hear you have some things published already! We have a lot of fabulous writers and authors here, so feel free to bring up any writing-related muses here, in any topic, pretty much! :)
Mod
Hey, Kylie! You sound like one bubbly person! I seem to have the same problem (but probably less imaginative as you are, I'll unfortunately admit!). Anyway, we'll try to give you some pointers + Tips + Hints. But I guess it's just the general aspect of what you need to improve on first that requires the most attention, then move onto slightly small problems that are just as big! ;)
I'll see if we have a Tips Thread set up already, eh?

Great to have you! :D"Thank you Phoebe (I love that name!), yes I am generally bubbly, right now however I am slightly slap happy since it is 4am where i am so that could explain my rambling and hyperness (which is not a word...or wasn't until now ;)).
Mod
And, it definitely is now! :'D
Mod
Hey, Kylie. Welcome. You've come to the right place.
Hi all, I'm Conrad Jonesand I love talking to aspiring writers. I was self published in 2008 and sold over 100k of my thrillers before I got an agent and traditional publisher. My message is keep writing! Nice to meet everyone. I'll share this article from the Mail on Sunday which is inspirational for writers. Good luck all.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/mosli...
Mod
Welcome! And thanks for the article!!

My name is Norma. I like reading anything. I'm into photography. I wrote several books, but like I heard before I don't listen to critics. I write for the joy of it. Most of my other books are about my photography. I get bombarded with negative comments, but I don't let those comments put me down. There are so many stories to tell. I think if there weren't any authors or photographers the world would be very boring. :-)
Hey there! I'm Amy. I wrote stories in high school, most of college and early twenties. Then for some reason, I stopped. I critiqued a friend's novel and got the bug again so I've restarted again. Finished chapter one of a young adult modern fantasy novel. Oh my!
Im ariel and I dont know what to say. I write mangas, poetry, sometimes short stories, I draw (of course),and I love photography. yeah and im a little weird.
My name is Redd Kaiman. You can follow me at Twitter.com/reddkaiman
I do a lot of things. I don't wanna get into too much cause it might sound like advertising, but I have two short stories, a film, and a webseries. And I'm hustling for some more.

Hey there, Amy. So you've embarked upon fantasy's road, eh? Good! Glad to have you.
Mod
Hey, Ariel. Great name! Don't worry about not having much to say. Takes awhile to get into the swing of things.

Hello, Redd. Nice to meet you. What do you write?
Mod

thanks.
Mod
Great! Glad to hear that.
Mod
Hello, Amy!! Welcome to the group!! Sorry for my late reply! I hope your novel is going well, and if you need any opinions, ask! ;)
Mod
Hello, Ariel!! I was thinking of writing a manga, too.
...BUT, I gave up because I can't draw. :P
My friend and I enjoy some photography, also. Have you captured some amazing images yet? We all know that, sometimes, pictures can hold more words than a novel full of facts.

Hello, Redd!! Welcome to the group!! And if you feel like advertising, I think you'll find you can do that in the Advertising Folder. :P But, you didn't sound even a bit like an advertiser just then. Anyway, thankyou for joining the group, and I hope we can all pitch in to help one another. :)
Mod
Hello, Charlotte!! It's nice to hear you are bursting your imagination dam with your idea flows!! Welcome to the group, and I hope you can give your all for your writing!

If such is what you look for then such you will receive, Anne. Welcome!

Well hello, Kelli. Glad to have you, but sorry to hear about your friend. Goodreads is such a great place.

Hi guys, my name is Samantha. I'm an avid reader and have a way with words, but when it comes to the writing side of things, I have problems with speed. Once I'm done, my writing is a piece of art, but it takes me a LOOOOOOOONG time to be done. I'm hoping that this group can help me with that.(^–^)/
Mod
Hello, A..."
Dang! That sucks! I hope you get a new one, soon! :D
I think I have had a similar situation with my brand new scooter from a couple years ago. I had unwrapped it at Christmas, then a week later my sisters actually managed to Snap it in half. -_-
Hi, I'm Kelli. My best friend Kassi was.part of this group before she deleted her goodreads. You guys loved her writings, and if I get tired of Godreads she's gonna steal mine.
Mod
Hey, Anne!! And we all are looking for things like that! :) I think we have picked up a few Romance writers around here, which makes me think I should set up folders for all different genre writers to talk about their genres in. I will also have mixtures, though. ;)
Mod
... KASSI DELETED HER GOODREADS?! O_O
*regains composure* Err.. Anyway, thanks for joining! Have you written anything you deem worth sharing, yet? :)
It's sad to hear she deleted her account, but I figured that might have been it..
Maybe. I inherited one of her stories, and we write it together. Did she ever post The Demigod Tournament? Yeah. She and I work on that together, but she does more. I also have an adult book...even though I am not an adult. And as I said, Kassi might come back.
