Welcome, Jessica. Sorry I'm a little late.
Mod
I'm Victoria, married mum of three with a slight book obsession. I bought out my first short story collection last June and am planning on bringing my next out in spring 2013, if all goes t..."
And hello to you too, Victoria.
Mod
Nah. Everyone needs a little crazy greeting every once in a while. xD
Mod
Hey everyone,I am glad I found this group! I've been looking for a writing group for a while, but there are none near me locally without having to drive forever.
I've published two books on finance in the traditional manner and I've had a few ebooks self published, too. I am currently making the jump to writing fiction. I've published one short horror story in an ezine, but I am still working on the first novel. It's a suspense novel and I'm about 1/3 of the way done with it.
I'm hoping to find other writers here interested in sharing ideas and supporting each other.

Glad to have you, Matthew. It's always nice meeting an author. Also glad to hear about your leap into the genre of fiction. It is, after all, the greatest genre for letting your mind run free.

Hey, Matthew!! I'm well glad you found this group, because every writer in the world needs someplace to share thoughts and help others when they should, and get help back in return! Like the saying goes, "more heads are better than one. Just try not to lope off the smallest."
Or so I just made up then...
Anyway, name's Phoebe (prob's already know that, though,) and I hope we can all be of some or big help to you while your inner writer breaks loose. :)

Christmas eve an' all. :'D
Merry Christmas everyone,I'm Anthea, I've self published a few books on Amazon Kindle. I'm definitely looking for help and feedback with my writing. Even though it is already published, I still do some editing to improve it, and the I upload the improvements. (That's what I love about Amazon.)
I can also read other people's writing and give feedback.
Here is one of my books. If anyone is interested in reading and giving constructive feedback, PM me for a copy. Call me Jane

Greetings, Anthea (nice name). I'm sure you'll be able to find feedback here.
Yes, I'd like to get better aquianted with the members here. I'm Marlina, most commonly known to my friends as Marley. I am accusomed to reading a different series of genres of books. I read one at a time though, bless those who have the ability to multitask and comprehend many books at once. Unfortuately I have not aquired this ability, but I digress. Usually, when I have come accross a book that I feel should be known, I will come to a point were I feel compelled to make a review about it. I am 19 years old, and I am a reader from New York baby <3

'Ello, mate!!! Merry extra late Christmas to you, too! It's great to know that you are rather experienced in the likes of publishing, but I assume more than a few people here have done that. :) Just post anything in any topic. Everything is open to discuss. If you want to create multiple topics (threads) on your writing/stories/books, or just voiced opinions/questions on things you've dubbed important to share, I could give you a folder to put your stuff in. Just a thought. ;)
Anyway, welcome to the group and I hope your holidays are wonderful!
Mod
Of course you would share a bit about yourself here, Marley. You're one of our members, are you not? I like how you've grown with various genres and multiple authors. If you read the same type of gente too many times, you may end up predicting a book's storyline! Multitasking is rather confusing, yes. Granted, I myself have confused a book with another book slightly numerous times. Just ever so slightly. I was surprised to hear you were from New York. You're probably the first ever New Yorker that has admitted to being one. From New York, that is. ;)
Anyway, did I mention how delighted we all are about the prospect of more members? :P
Mod
Hey, Marley. Glad to have you.
My name is Chaotic, I am 15, and I have always loved to write since I was about eleven. I'm always trying to find new ways of improving, and always trying out new ideas, and stuff. My favorite genres are Supernatural or Fantasy, and Romance, as well as Action. I love doing things that are completely unreal, and just creating stories that I can call my own and sharing all the strange ideas I have with the world. Unfortunately, I have never actually finished a story before, except for one, and that was for my creative writing class, so I think that's one thing I really need to work on, as well as trying to make my stories actually seem like stories.
Mod
@Chaotic: I am more or less in the same boat as you are. I somehow never end up finishing any stories, as much as I try!
@Humeera: It's a face. "^_^" is just a random face that I've picked up over the last year. Anyway, feel free to ask the mods and others anything you wish to ask. We like giving different opinions and answers! :D
Mod
Hey, Chaotic. How goes the chaos? Glad to hear that you love fantasy, It's my favorite too. I'm sure you'll be able to find helpful input here.
Mod
Mod
Can't wait to get to know you either, Humeera. Welcome. I find your name very interesting. What does it mean? (If I may be so bold as to inquire.)
Mod
I don't know what your trying to say?"
Also, don't mind Phoebe. She does stuff like that. You learn to go with it after you get to know her. :P

How cruel you can get, Julius! Have you been humoring me this whole time?! XP
(Joking. ;) )
Hello everyone, I love to read, love to write, and love to sew (as long as it comes out the way I wanted it to!) If I could read and sew at the same time my life would be complete! Oh well, at least sewing gets me up out of my recliner when my butt gets numb! I wrote a LOT (mostly journal) when I was young. It was my therapy for our very disfunctional family. Now that I have raised my own very fun disfunctional family of two very tattood daughers and one adorable 9 year old boy crazy granddaughter, I have time to get back to writing.
I have very vivid dreams and exciting tales of my childhood and my friends always tell me I should write books. So, here I am, exploring that option at this very cool place in my life. Yes I'm 53, but I feel 30. I coach cheerleading, love hanging out with my 20 something daughters, jog every day, and work full time.
I am excited to meet you all and can't wait to start interacting with you and absorbing as much fun and knowledge as you will share with me!
Terri
Mod
Nice to meet you, Terri. Glad to have on board.
Mod
Nice to meet you, Terri! I'm Phoebe! ^_^ welcomed to the group! I find myself waning to sew as well, but I have less skills at sewing than my friend does at boxing, and that is sayin something!! C;
Anyway, welcome to the group!
Ps: You family sounds funny (good way).^_^
New member, I am a writer who likes to dabble with 3D art... Or am I a 3D artist who likes to dabble with writing? Well, anyway, I've had several short stories published, and am working on three novels. Oh, and I love to create fractals, and, living in France, love drinking red wine.Rob...
Mod
G'day, Rob! I think you're the first person living in France to join the group! Anyway, you just posed a ponderous 3D question, and I bet the latter can go either way. What type of short stories do you write? :)
P.S: Did I welcome you to the group?
P.P.S: Welcome to the group!
Mod
Wow, your second book? Epic! What was the first one about? :)
Mod
I'm Shanti. Like so many others, I've been reading avidly forever, almost all genres, and have been writing as a private/personal hobby for the last ten years. I have joined this group in the hopes of learning information as to how to go about writing 'for real'.I have once been badly plagiarized in a group that was supposed to be about 'helping new writers', so I am very hesitant and wary to post anything of my original writings anywhere. I am anxious to learn how to protect myself and my 'intellectual property' while I'm in this process. I know I will want and need lay-editors long before I get to a "real" editor, but how do you find honest and trustworthy people?
Anyway, I am grateful to have found the Goodreads website in general and these helpful communities within.
Hey, I'm Madeleine and i'm straying from the dark side of FF writing to get some feedback on original work I'm attempting. I love to read, and to write, so i hope I can find a lot to discuss with you guys!

Hey, Maddie! Welcome to the group, mate! Sorry I took so long to reply! Anyway, welcome to the group and I am sure you'll find plenty to discuss about! ^_^
Mod
Greetings, Monica. And in answer to your question, no. One can never read too much.
Mod
Hello, Shanti. I can only assume how you must have felt with the unfortunate thing that you mentioned. But we don't do that here, it may please you to know.
Also, in answer to your question, you might want to get people such as close friends and family to go over it for you. Sure people you can trust.

Hi, Maddie. Glad to have you.
Mod
'Ello, mate!! Welcome! *shakes hand business style* hope you like the group as much as the next person! ^_~

Hello, Stacie! We all love reading here! Everything everyday is a new experience to write about! Pray tell, what was the article about?
I have never read anything on football (I don't exactly have a "fettish" for sports in particular, hence my knowledge on that subject a zero), not even once.
Er hello! You can call me H. For some reason I never feel comfortable posting my real name online.. No hard feelings! About me, I've always loved reading, mostly for fun but also for learning. I also write, short stories, poems, and I wrote my first novel in November. Not published though..Other that I'm an artist, I love drawing, and yeah.. ^^

Welcome, mate!! I hope you get help here all you can. ;)
And those sound like epic hobbies/habits/ things to do!! The writing one had to b obvious, though. c;
I'm Sevania, Sev for short! I'm 14 and I'm an aspiring author! Have a lot of my writing up on Goodreads but I'm really trying to get people to read it so I can get feedback! I just realized every sentence in this post has an exclamation mark! I like exclamation points! Is this annoying?! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mod
Hey, Sev. Nice to have you, and even nicer to hear that you're an aspiring author. And no, 'tis no problem at all to use exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!
