Topic: Back after a long absence

Hi folks,
I've come back to the site for the time being. I'm feeling disconnected from my close writer friends as so many have stopped writing sad I'm hoping for new connections and to rekindle old relationships. I've just uploaded the first three chapters of Incarnate, my latest work, and would appreciate some feedback. I am happy to reciprocate.

Hi Jeanne,
Welcome back! I joined June 2015 to your work will be totally new to me. Will check it out as soon as possible. Regards, Randy

Welcome!

Re: Back after a long absence

Hi Jeanne: 

Welcome back.  Last February, I came back after a long absence, was pleasantly surprised at the quality and friendliness of the crowd that congregates here.  I'm sure you will too.  I look forward to reading & reviewing your posts.

Re: Back after a long absence

Hello! While I am incredibly new to this site, I have loved all the feedback I received. It has helped tremendously when I edit and as I write future chapters of my story. I will be happy to read some of your works this weekend. smile

Re: Back after a long absence

Thanks everyone! I really missed the sense of community here. I am so happy to be back. I appreciate your kind words and will try to reciprocate reviews as soon as possible smile

Re: Back after a long absence

I'm going to try this again. I used to spend a LOT of time here but when they changed everything I found it confusing and so stopped visiting. Hpwever I'm going to try again! Hi Jeanne!

Hi, happy to see some familiar faces. I'm sure we can figure out the new system.

Re: Back after a long absence

Hi Jeanne! I, too, am hoping to make a comeback! Will look you up soon! Here's to us, lol! Cheers!

Re: Back after a long absence

Hello everyone smile

I am quite new too and would love to see older members more active and more inclusive!

Re: Back after a long absence

Hi Jeanne, welcome back, I have not read you, but will visit your novel.
And C. E., I'm glad to see you back, I've been wondering what happened to you! You get one published and fall off the face of the Earth! Looking forward to your new stuff too.

Re: Back after a long absence

I think (I hope!) it's going to be great to be back! "Maypops in September" has gone through several incarnations  and actually was read in full by a couple of pretty impressive agents. Who then rejected it. Lol! And I'm not willing to stick with my 1st publisher, so it's back to the drawing board for me.

Welcome Silvia. A lot of us come around in spurts mostly due to work and life in general, but you can always hit people up through messaging, or through the read/review process. Good luck!

Re: Back after a long absence

Welcome back! I've only been in here a few years, and I did survive the changes into the new system (since I was hot and heavy in my WIP) I do take a bit of time off every so often, especially between projects, and right now I'm a bit behind in my reviews, but I do get around.

As to developing a new circle - pop in here once in a while, and do some reviews of work you like. Even though I sometimes backslide, I still find the love and support of great reader/writers in here. I'll make it a point to check your work.

Write On!

I just noticed that you have two accounts, one with your middle initial 'M' and one without. Which one do you currently use?

Hi, nice to connect with you on the revamped site. Let me know what you'd like me to review and I will carve out some time. Don't have a lot of it these days, sigh:(

Oh my! I have two accounts? I didn't even know that. I suppose the one with my middle initial is the one to use because that's the one I'm using right now, lol. I don't know how to get rid of that other one. I guess I'll leave it be since I don't remember creating it.

Re: Back after a long absence

Nice "meeting" you! I've been a member here for about 8 years but have been absent for the better part of the past 2 years - mostl health issues (cancer). But, doing good as of late. Will be [posting some new stugg soon. Will get over to read you as soon as I can ... probably a few days. Looking forward to it!

Welcome back, Jeanne.  I recall you from the Beforetime.  I'll be happy to be a reviewer, and am glad you re-start writing.  Appropro of kung fu, a friend of mine, after his 5th degree Black Belt said, "You can stop, but never quit."  (Or to put it another way--"You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave.")  I hadn't done any serious writing for about five years, and found that some of my writing buddies were gone from the site--but some were on Facebook.  Write and they weill come.  smile
