Hi Kay,
I've posted a couple of pages of a short story I've written - in the Forum > Discussion section and I'm ready to see the red pencil. I'd love to get your take on what's there.
Thanks Aaron.

You Rock

Hi Kay Elizabeth,
I am still trying for main stream publishing. I enjoyed self-publishing my trilogy and I sold hundreds to the libraries here in Australia. I have excerpts from my novels on my website. Thank you for you interest.

Hello Kay: How are you doing? I am so excited about being here. I love to write. My first book is called Pay Attention to the Red Flags. The book is targeting women who can't seem to identify an abusive man early. The goal is to enhance women's self esteem so that they can make better choices. I want women to know that all women don't have to date bad boys because there are som wonderful, loving and caring men in society. I had my first book signing Saturday. It was awesome.

Welcome and keep posted

I have written a novel called Showdown On Litherax. It is a military science fiction novel about about a group of reptilian humanoids or reptoids marooned on a world called Litherax, with only one human former special forces commando and eleven of them they form a relationship with the dinosaurs of the planet against a ruthless criminal syndicate called the Black Widow pirates they wage a desperate war of survival against impossible odds . . .

Hi Kay, thank you for the invite. This is the first site where people showed interest in what I write. lol.

As you must have seen in my profile, I write literary fiction (wrote a half-finished novel, then a finished novel, now writing the second one), read literary fiction, dream about literary fiction (right now my novel-in-progress).

The current novel, Chosen (working title) is a memoir. (It is kind of personal writing so you might like it) The book spans the lifetime of a woman who, at 63, discovers that she wronged her mother all her life and thinks her guilty of her death. But the fun part is that her mother kept telling her lies since childhood about what all she did for her (to get her love)!

Completed 60 percent of the book. Still working hard on it.

Okay, too long a message. People keep telling me they can judge by the length of my messages that I am a writer. :)

What all have you written? It is great to talk to fellow writers.

Hi Kay, thanks for your commment, so glad to be here, very exciting, still finding my way around the site, looking forward to exploring, Sandie

Great bunch of talented people best wishes to all!

Hi-on my old computer I had a website called AUTHORS.com which had all authors and all their books, with pictures, exerpts, etc, listed in order of print. It also had books grouped by series--as the Women's Murder Club series by James Petterson. As an avid reader I nned to keep a record of what I've read--hate to start a book and find I've already read it!!! Any idea where to get such info???

Thank you for contacting me. I am pretty well clueless about this site but want to begin to become familiar with it. Any suggestions on where to start?

Hi Kay
Thanks for the welcome, as I am new to this site am I unsure whether we can submit sample chapters on here for other writers to comment on. Is there anywhere to do this?
Many thanks
S

I need some help starting out. Some coaching maybe.

Kay, it has been far too long since we chatted! You gave me your new email address and I lost it, because I'm great like that! Hopefully chat to you soon! Take Care xxx

Thank you for the warm welcome immediately I feel like part of the family. Thank You!
Lord Help Me In This Place - This Place Which Is My Heart is my book. It literally introduce simplicity of the power of prayer. A conversation that doesn't take big words or profound speech. It's simple.

I look forward to learning everything I can. This is my first book.

Kay, thank you for your line. I hope I can be contacted by someone interested in philosophy.

Thank you for the welcome!

Nice to meet you and thanks for the welcome! I see you've got a huge amount of great discussions and articles on writing to browse through.. :)

Thank you much for the welcome, Elizabeth Kay,

SO YOU WANT TO BE THE MOST POPULAR?
The names have been changed to protect the guilty--
Sally, Joan and Anne were good friends. They had another friend, Virginia. Sally, Joan and Sally were so set on being popular that they didn't realize their ways to become popular weren't good. You see, they talked about people, said things that would hurt the person they talked about. When Sally and Joan were together, they talked about Anne. When Joan and Anne were together, they talked about Sally. Same when any two of them were together. They tried to see who could say the worst about the absent friend. Or if all three were together, they would gossip about other friends including Virginia. Now, each tried to get Virginia in on their little popularity race. But Virginia didn't want to get her friends in that manner. She wouldn't gossip about people or say anything she wouldn't say to their face. She stuck by all of her friends even if other people disapproved of them because maybe they didn't have as much as she did or maybe didn't keep their house as neat. But nevertheless, they were her friends and she took them for what they were and not by what someone said about them.
Anne, Joan and Sally soon felt they couldn't trust each other or confide in each other. They felt each would rush to talk about her behind her back. But each knew she had one friend who was truly a friend, Virginia. The trusted her and knew she wouldn't betray them. To this day they know they can turn to her and she will be honest with them.
Which of these girls do you want to be? Which would you say is the most popular? Lasting popularity isn't based on betrayal and gossip. And it isn't accomplished in a day or a week or a month. It takes a lifetime. You have to work at it, day by day. The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him your friend. by Faye Dulaney, Leader, Middle Grave Creek "Junior Hikers" 4-H Club early 1960s

Sorry I took so long, Kay. Things have been crazy! I am offering free eBooks until tomorrow (they have been free through July). The links are posted on my profile.

Hi, thanks for the welcome. Am a trained journalist with a major in Public Relations. Currently, am yet to come out with a book of mine which am more than half way through. What I do for now is to help authors in writing books. If they tell me what they want to write about and present me with a draft, then I help them make a book out of it. The kind of books I help with are mainly Christian and motivational books. I have so far helped in writing three of such books and currently working on the fourth: Secrets of Womanhood, How to Enjoy Heaven on Earth & God's Eternal Kingdom. The fourth one is a motivational book which the author intends launching in a couple of months. I am excited to be a part of this big family.

o hi kay. m jus a new entry.. hw u doin.. wt u readng nowadays

Hello, Thank you for welcoming me here! I had no idea where to get any information. I'm still trying to figure this all out. Thank you! It's greatly appreciated. =)

Hello Kay Elizabeth..and thankyou for the welcome..

My poems are about my thoughts..and memories of my childhood during WWII.

It is my first attempt at a book..and am not sure how to go about self publishing yet..

Hi,In the poem Live Terror,i,m describing a car moving through city streets...the conditions are so bad that one rolls up the glass and just escapes.

Chaghi Hills is written on an event,the atomic explosion at the location by the same name in Pakistan.

Hi Kay thanks, I have a question? Do I have exclusive rights to anything I submit of my work and what I write or can just anyone there or anywhere use my stuff and claim it as their work and put their name on my stuff?? Isn't that called plazgarism? What is the punishment for that? Does that ever happen at Published Authors?

My father was Hungarian and named me Ilbolya - which was too muich of a mouthful for me as a child, so I abbrevaited it to Iby - and that stuck.
By the way, my first book ' The woman without a number' will be publshed on 8th October. [Well' it's not my first book. but the first to be published, hopefully followed by several more ...].
greetings and blessings , etc ....

Hey, Kay Elizabeth, you are the one I came on here looking for, long time, hon

Hello Thanks for the welcome. I am Australian living in the north of Queensland about 100 km west of Mackay in a town with a population of approximately 200. I write anything that comes into my mind, mostly personal writing with humour. I also write lyrics. However I am interested in publishing a play I have written and also notes of a personal nature though my no means autobiographical. More in the style of Bill Bryson although nowhere near as good. Would you like to read the play and notes and tell me what you think? I have no idea about how to find an editor and publish. Have a great day:)
Michelle
