  1. Peer group members: If I owe you something, will you please contact me and let me know? I'm returning to the fold June 15. :)

  2. Working on Bill's First Fifty this week, hope to have it back to you by Sunday!

  3. Has ANYONE out there read A.A. Attanasio's Arthor series (The Dragon and the Unicorn is the first title)? I just got a recommendation from Goodreads and from a glance through the comments, it sounds like I have my comp -- I have an emergency order in with Amazon.com!

  4. I just wrote the end! I just wrote the end! Of course, now I have to go back and write the middle...

  5. Stars System Update in Free Range Dialogue Section. Feel free to contact a mod if you have any concerns or questions.

  6. Heads up AS/AC -- the stars system isn't working right now, but that does NOT mean your hard-earned stars are gone, just a system bug -- hang in there, mods are on it.

  7. I LOVE WRITING! That is all. Just an overabundance of sheer joy at the creative process.

  8. First 50 pages of current iteration of Merrin Born now posted to forum. Nobody told me how nerve wracking that moment would be!

  9. Working out PSCO. New opening posted to profile -- happy to receive feedback on it.

  10. Working on Bill's profile critique right now; next up: Gail. I'm finally getting to everyone, one week at a time!

  13. slowly moving towards a routine, finally! How's everyone doing?

  14. finally settled in and working on PSCO - back on track at last. :o)

  15. Boy, have I got stories to tell...! #movingmishapsmakegoodtales!

  17. Today, I cut three early chapters out of MERRIN BORN in preparation for structural rewrites. Then, I removed an additional 2,000 words because it was the right thing to do. #Nopainnopublish

      Keep plugging but take your time. Plenty of agents will want to see this!

  18. Seen on Yahoo! front page this morning: "Penguin's Explicit Sex Act Shocks Explorer". Really? That's all the news that's fit to print this morning - penguin sex? lolol

      When I was in middle school, I determined to read every book in the public library. Luckily for me Bradbury started with B. First sci fi fantasy I ever read. His stories were so powerful they still populate my dreams. He will be missed.

  19. Hurrah, heard from one of the MIA peers. Fingers crossed the other one comes through...

  20. Three peers MIA in my SECOND peer group at IP-1 level, one since the end of April. I have done TEN profile critiques for other people now, and I'm no closer than I was when I started. I feel completely deflated. I am never, ever getting to ES. :o(

      Also, if anyone is waiting on Tomzes for anything, his profile (what's left there) indicates he isn't planning a return visit to AS. I didn't hear anything from him, but there's no reason to think he is still here based on what he has on his profile page. :o(

      My sympathies, seems a slow down of newbies may afflict this site. Hope we don't turn into the Japan of writer groups.
