Re: What happened? (38 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Understand what both Ray and Bill are saying. I still have several loyal reviewers and occasionally a new one will pop in for a chapter or so. I'm a bit behind on my reciprocal reviews but will be getting back to them hot and heavy as soon as I wrap up the last two chapters of A Cartel's Revenge. They're almost ready for posting, so I'll be back reviewing in a day or so. Regards, Randall

Re: A scruffy writing space is still a writing space (7 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I write first thing in the morning or late at night. All depends on access to the computer and what we're doing on a given day. When on our desktop, I'm in our office. If I use my laptop, I'm at the dining table (or sometimes at the kitchen island). No matter where I'm at, I have to have coffee--the brand doesn't matter.:)
What we use for an office would have been a bedroom but the original owners set it up like an office. Since the furniture was built-in, they left it. Otherwise, would just use our oak desk.

Re: Writing numbers in a story? - Writing Craft (7 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I'm wondering what people do when it comes to writing numbers in a story? I typically spell out numbers <= 100, but also write numbers like one thousand as words rather than 1,000. I eventually settled on a rule that if I could write it out in three words or less, then I would do so. As a result, numbers like 500, 10,000, 1,000,000, etc. all get written out. I tend to include 'and' when writing numbers, so 350 would be three hundred and fifty, which is four words, so I wouldn't write it out. One of my reviewers recommended I write 350 as three hundred-fifty in a line of dialogue, hence this post.
Thanks
Dirk
The Chicago Manual of Style, used by agents and publishers, recommends spelling out whole numbers in dialogue no matter the number of digits. So far, that's worked for me with my publishers.

Re: New!~ (6 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Basic)
Hi everyone, my name is Reagan. I am new to this group and the site. I am in the process of finalizing my first novel - The Allure of the Forbidden. I have posted the first chapter and plan to post the other chapters after getting a few reviews. I kindly request for your reviews even as I also work on reviewing other writers' work.
Welcome to TNBW! It's a great place to be. I suggest you post your work to thenextbigwriter premium group, which pays points for reviews. You're more apt to obtain the reviews you're looking for.
