Hey I'm not sure if Legend of Lucky Daniel fits into YA, middle grade maybe?  What do you guys think?  Either way I'd love to be a part of the group even if its only to read and make suggestions.

Jedi, which is the one you'll be needing first?

Tough call. I'll probably need La Cienega first. But I have a sequel to Bitch Brigade that I've barely looked at. And I've only written about 5000 words of the third and final book in the series.  This is pie in the sky mentality, but what would happen if B Brigade got accepted and they wanted all three books?

Good question.  BBB is out there. If it gets accepted, you'll need the second in the series workshopped.  But Rian did say that people are allowed to workshop more than one book.  I figure it's best to put whatever you're likely to have going into the marketplace next at the top of the list.

Right now I'm just joining the group as a reviewer to help supplement the new correspondance writing course that I'm taking that's geared for learning how to write children and young adult stories. I will put up each assignment for review after I get it back from my mentor and do the revisions she suggests. I will also put up the last assignment I'm planning on writing for the other course I was taking after I get it back from that mentor and do her suggested revisions. It is also a story geared toward kids and young adults.

Name: Ann
Title of Work: Wings, Waves, and Wisteria
Target Audience: YA
Genre: Fantasy
Sub Genre: Coming of Age

Okay, so it looks like that's 3 newbies.

It may work best to start second rotating group. That way no one will get bogged down.

How's that sound?

Hi everybody. Greetings.
I like this group.
What does it take for a newbie to join?

Sorry that it's dead in here. I'm going through some serious life transitions and haven't kept up.

I hope to make a return one day soon.

Hi Susan,

The rotations fell off in my during my period of absence. However, if enough people are interested in starting up again, I can reorganize schedules and such. I'm just not reviewing at this time.

Divorce and unemployment separately are difficult. Both at once really really suck. Being the single mom of two isn't a whole lot different than when the hub was here though.

I haven't written in anything for a long time, but I miss it. I also miss reviewing.

All I write anymore is resumes and cover letters.

Sooooooo exciting.

You sound like you have enough on your plate right now, Rian. 

Being a single parent and sole provider is really a full time job, girl.  And juggling to much can take away attention where it is most needed. You can only do so much.  Of course finding a job is important; I think your children's physical and mental health, and welfare is most important. 

But finding the time to do something just for you; something that makes you smile, is also necessary for your mental health, especially since you’re the driving force in your household.  Something that doesn't add to the burdens, something without schedules, time clocks and responsibilities.... So write... even if it's two hours a day; two hours a week; even it's just your thoughts, goals, and blessings... Write. Do it late at night when the children are asleep, in the tub, out in the yard while you watch the children play.  Just write. 

This forum should be the least of your worries.  Is there anyone you know that would like to take on Lead Moderator of a YA group?  Someone that you can work with who understands your lack of attention when you're needed at home?  Then you won't have the added stress of this responsibility; and the forum should have someone that can give it their all.  Being a moderator takes time and dedication.  A job I don't envy, but sure do appreciate.

Like to see this cranked up again;  I started a YA, but I really don't want to get involved in a forum that's sporadic.  Keep me posted if you make any changes.

I'll be thinking about you,


Hi Lady,

I did see that you have a YA novel posted. Awesome!

I'm probably going to read it for fun. I need some fun!

I'm looking at scheduling that "Me" time which involves TNBW. It's easier for me to review than write currently.

There is someone who would make an excellent co-moderator. That way we can tag team things.

YA forum could rock with the right amount of attention. Since you indicate there is potential and interest, I will see about getting it back off the ground.

Warm regards,

Rian
