Morse is my favorite as well... ever read 'The Wench is Dead'? Interesting premise.

Hey, girl: I'll give chapter 1 of Eolyn a look this week. My focus will be tightening, as you already mentioned. Just to let you know to expect something by way of suggestions/review, just not fast.

Cool link. Some of those illustrations are disturbingly similar to my experiences. Hmm....

I am experiencing the same problem. Sol, is there a way to keep the version information from popping up?

I am in total agreement. This site is so much less cumbersome for me. Navigation is a breeze. Thank you. Sol, for all the hard work.

Linda: I truly know what you're going through. My husband had two strokes a year ago, and I became a full-time caregiver. Not what one plans to do during retirement. My good thoughts are with you. Hang in there, and so shall I. Maggie

This may sound weird, but how about using a printed-on-paper, full-on Webster's Dictionary? I bought one years ago. It will always trump spell-check. For me, at least. Think about that alternative.

It's all learn as you go. Especially how to not only post chapters, but also reviews and how easy it is to respond to reviewers.

I never have received forum posts, and didn't know there was supposed to be something like that on this new site.

One thousand words by 22 April? In fantasy and/or magic. Okay, I'm in. If it works, the piece (modified) will be incorporated into my next chapter.
Do I post here? Ceridwen

Good on ya, Claire! I remember the first draft, and how much fun it was to read Merrow. I shall probably buy a hard copy, since I don't have a Kindle. Just so you know, Jericho changed its name to Twisted to the Right, has been edited, and has 3 sequels... You have my email address. Let's keep in touch! Ceridwen

For those following Light of Cymru - apologies for the long absence. My husband is recovering from his stroke, albeit slowly, and now giving me a little more time to write, post chapters and hopefully review some more. Thanks for sticking with me!

I don't have the answer, but am asking the same question. Some of those covers are kick-ass gorgeous. Is there a recommended designer that won't charge a fortune, but produce a good result?
