Congrats! You go, girl!!
Thanks, Lynn.
My momma always said it was bad manners to toot your own horn. But I was sorta proud of myself, and figured, "fuck it.
I'm old. Go for it."

Wow, what timing. I was looking for a site like that. I just very well may have to bookmark and explore it.
Congrats, Mizz Byrd.
Thanks, SB!
I joined it a while back and haven't really done much there. When I got the notice about the contest, I figured "what the hell." The critiques I got from the judges of the contest are really good, however. So I'm thinking I may need to take a second look at it. One can never have too much input.

The results are in for the 1st CritiqueMatch FictionFive Contest! https://blog.critiquematch.com/2020/07/ … sults.html
Thanks to everyone who reviewed LADY SIVER here at tNBW!!!
Each genre category in the contest judged its admissions and awarded critiques and a professional developmental edit for the top three entries. The single entry with the highest cumulative scores claimed the overall prize.
"LADY SILVER: Warlock Chronicles, Book I," jumped into the fray in the Science Fiction category. Our warlock heroine with the silver aura rose to the top of the heap, claiming the third-place prize in her sci-fi category.
The first in a four-part series that melds magic and science fiction, author Bobbie R. Byrd is working feverishly to get LADY SILVER into publication. Updates will be posted on https://brbyrd.com , so bookmark the site and check back often!

I noticed that two. Three blank ones. An intriguing title, like you may have a publisher for your book. And this is an ampersand. @@@@ Actually, three of them. I'll remove one. They say three is a crowd. @@
Oh...yeah....I knew that.....
I was trying to insert an image into my post and it has some screwy symbols in the URL link. Maybe that's the problem. Maybe I should try posting without the image. Hmm...let me try that....

I don't know what the deal is but it seems this forum doesn't want to post a specific topic I've been trying to post. When I try to post, I get this:
Sorry! The page could not be loaded.
This is probably a temporary error. Just refresh the page and retry. If problem continues, please check back in 5-10 minutes.
Been getting that for about 2 hours now. My attempts to post end up with a topic created in the forum but the message is empty.
Am I in forum jail or something?

This is why I back everything up to an external harddrive, to One Drive, and to Dropbox. Lost a couple of chapters once. Not letting that happen again. Hope you're able to recover it.

What am I doing wrong?
I've tried to enter a story in the current contest and it keeps telling me I don't belong to the group or am not a premium member. I am both, thank you very much.
What the hell??
Help a girl out? Anyone?

Hi everyone.
I wanted to say a quick 'thank you' to everyone who reviewed my sci-fi novel LADY SILVER. I just pulled it, as it is time for a final deep edit, and then I'll be looking for either an agent to rep it or a publisher to publish it.
If you're interested in the further exploits of Bryanna and Bastion, please feel free to delve into the second book of the WARLOCK CHRONICLES series, INTO THE WELL. I have a few more chapters to post in it and am looking for any and all comments. So, if you got nothing else to do, or you want to catch up on your reciprocating, knock your socks off!
Thanks again for all the very helpful reviews. Muchly appreciated!

I need a favor, my friends. Apparently there was an issue with my profile pic being sideways. It looked straight on my computer. I've toyed with it and it still looks upright on my screen. Can you let me know how it looks on your screen? If it's still laying on its side, I'm at a loss as to what the problem is.
Thank!!
