Re: Two Homepage Changes (46 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I finally know what the shelves are for! I think if you changed the word "shelved" to "following" it might be clearer.
Also, I would like the ability to collapse the sections I never review (like poetry and articles)

Re: You again? Yes! Looking for a sample. (10 replies, posted in Fantasy World Builders)
I can't think of one in fantasy but in Romance, POVs jump all over the place. It sounds like your well into your story so your reader shouldn't have an issue with it. But I'm sure there are some purist that will disagree with me.

Re: Favourite romance movies (28 replies, posted in Romance Inc.)
My favorite is Say Anything. I saw it in theaters and I don't dare watch it again because my 16 year old self loved this movie.

Re: Ideas on a review snafu (4 replies, posted in Fantasy World Builders)
It sounds like an interesting premise. MC switches bodies with another her, kind of SGU-like. However, after that happens it sounds like nothing else does. She's in a new scary world and then what? It sounds like it also may be bogged down in description. I think what you have suggested is good. Maybe the A her is a terrorist running form the B world and is reeking havoc in her A life, (sleeping with her husband and her boss, starting a terrorist plot on this side). I liked your ideas better. If the author doesn't want to add conflict though, I'm not sure there is much you can do about it.

Re: ya ages (7 replies, posted in Young Adult Writers)
I'm walking the line between MG and YA. My character starts at 13. It was initially YA but as I rewrite I'm thinking I might do MG. Anybody have a preference?

Well, I'm the wierdo of the group, again. lol. I love Jane Austen. I've read everything she's written. My favorite is Dickens, A tale of Two Cities is my all time favorite book, followed closely by Through the Looking Glass. I enjoyed the Hunger Games and I haven't read 50 shades. I was going to try Twilight but I'm working through the Divergent Series at the moment.

Topic: List of No-No words (11 replies, posted in Writing Tips & Site Help)
When I edit my own work I make a list of all the words I use either way too much or just plain wrong. I thought it would be fun to share and see what other writer's no-no words are.

Moby Dick was the only book I couldn't finish. I got through the white chapter and quit. Funny because I enjoyed reading Ahab's Wife.

Re: Reading your material aloud (6 replies, posted in Writing Tips & Site Help)
After I've edited my manuscript to the nub, I read it aloud from the computer. It was weird at first but I got used to it and my dog loves it. Once I think it's perfect, I print it and and read it aloud again. When I've perfected it for the third time, then I have my husband read it to me. That is VERY helpful.
