I've asked that either reviews, works/chapters, or subscribers be given something like a forum space. Here's a situation that shows why: I've been reviewing a story by Randall Krzak. Our discusion in reviews has been carried out by adding additional reviews. Normally I suggest that an author open a forum for his work in a group he and I share. But Randall and I share only the Premium group--that is, the Everything/Everybody group. This doesn't seem to be the best place to open a discussion centered on one author or one work.
Why not join one R. Krzak's groups? Well, I began to review his story not out of shared topic interest but because he has an interesting story and he seems to be working on skills that I'm still working on, so I hope to help and learn at the same time. This seems a sound basis for reviewing, and for having a forum.
Hi NJC, I know you're not a big fan of connections but for one on one discussions it seems to work fine. I use it for a couple different writers I'm reviewing. However, it does mean that others don't see what is said. Always a trade-off. By the way, thanks for saying you think I have an interesting story. Agree that I'm working on a number of skills as I'm totally new to fiction. You've been a big help thus far - thanks!

I use Word (or OE Writer) so when I read, and comment, an in-line review I have my copy open in another window. As I agree with a nit, I make the change. That way, I'm always up to date and can grab a chapter if I wish and post it immediately.

I do the same. It helps to speed up minor revisions. For longer edits, I usually cut/paste feedback comments directly into my Word document so I have it readily at hand. I just mark it in a different color. As I have time, I go back and review these comments and start making changes. May not work for everyone, but it does for me.

When I started writing I tried to attribute some dialogue to generic characters who were throwaways. Someone suggested that if I have a character speaking, then they should have a name. Open to suggestions.

Many thanks for the invite Jube! As with CJ, I try to start any novel from the beginning. That was a recommendation I saw when I joined TNBW, and its a valid one, too. I look forward to working with everyone and will do my best to contribute on a timely basis. Thanks, Randy

Many thanks for the advice Tom. I've only been with TNBW for a short while and this is the first time I've seriously looked at my first fiction I wrote four years ago, so everything is still new to me. Thanks again, Randy

Topic: Do I Need Chapter Titles in My Book? (5 replies, posted in Writing Tips & Site Help)
When I first started writing I numbered each new chapter and gave a location so I could keep track of the moving parts. I know the posting mechanism calls for chapter titles so I've put something in for each one but haven't put alot of thought into them. Most of the published authors I read don't have titled chapters, just numbered. Which is the best way to go? Looking for advice. Many thanks, Randy

Re: Prologue's (37 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Interesting read through everyone's thoughts about the use of a prologue. I initially had one and if several people wouldn't have suggested dropping it and perhaps using some of the information throughout the book I would have come to the same conclusion after reading this. Glad to see so many people putting their views out there. Randy

Re: How much truth do you put into your writing? (12 replies, posted in Thriller/Mystery/Suspense)
I've tried to put as much truth into BEDLAM - THE BEGINNING, and I'm uncertain how much should be footnoted. Any recommendations? What I've footnoted thus far I want to stand as it is without any embellishment into the story. Thanks.
