Topic: Giant screen (8 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Basic)
I don't know what I did - but my TNBW web screen is GINORMOUS. It's assaulting my eyes. Is there a way to make it back to a normal sized screen?

As a promotion - it got good traffic & more comments than usual. However, my themed author interviews have gotten more traffic & cost me nothing - so I'll probably only do something like this once in a blue moon to spice things up.

Re: input appreciated (8 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Basic)
Made up words rock. I love crapastrophic & crapaclysm - must find a way to use those sometime soon! But I think craptastrophe fits best in the context of this particular novel. I'm going to say the consensus is... I'm right & my editor is not 
. Might be a first! Thanks!

Topic: input appreciated (8 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Basic)
I could use some input on a made up word for one of my character's use. I was thinking "crap-tastrophe" but my editor suggested "crapastrophe" -which works best, do you think?

Topic: question about republishing chapters (3 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
With the old site, you could re-publish previously posted chapters so that your review buddies knew to check out your latest edits. I don't see that option & I don't know if my peops know when I've revamped a chapter.

Re: Copyright Q (2 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Basic)
Yeah - most of the articles I'm seeing about it say titles are ok, but otherwise permission is needed. Ugh. More rewriting to do.
Thanks!

Normally, I would have posted this Q in the ask the expert forum - but here goes...
I have a singer in a novel that occasionally sings a few words from famous songs (Beatles, etc). What's the rule on that? No lyrics at all unless you've got permission? 5 words or less is OK? Go for it & hope you don't get sued?? Anyone know?

Topic: Poetry contest (0 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Basic)
OK - the old site had a forum specifically for posting info on writing contests, but I don't see one on the new site so I'm posting it here...
For February I’m hosting a poetry contest on my blog. A writing professor of mine once challenged my class to write a love poem in 25 words or less. So that’s my challenge … In addition to being a promo opp, poems receiving the most positive comments & web hits (from unique users) will win modest prizes- Paypal & bookstore gift certificates and, of course, bragging rights. If you’re interested, email me at audramiddle@yahoo.com by December 30th for more details.
