@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira @skredder @valtmy @alia I’m back!  Is anyone else writing?

@notawriter

Thank you so much! I feel much better today (though unfortunately my wrist isn’t). I really appreciate your prayers.

Though I’m not sure how I feel about fluffy baked goods….anyway, its the thought that counts. 😁

@Jenwriter17 I know that @Hope uses CreateSpace. 😉

Other than that: self publishing involves a lot of marketing. You have to get your book out into the world without any help from the publishers. You also have to edit it as much as humanly possible, and it’s best to get a professional editor to look over it, otherwise you’ll be publishing and…[Read more]

@valtmy Chara and myself do thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  Perchance there is hope for our story to be written without the tragedy of it costing us both our lives.  How does your own book progress?

But now, I pray you, why did you this harm to me, to make me intent on writing verses of love?  My head is filled with thoughts such as th…[Read more]

@valtmy Ah, a trying journey indeed.  Alas, but my WIP is neither smoothly nor easily written.  I pray you send some encouragement my way, that I may with renewed hope attempt to conquer a heroine who has vouchsafed to swoon at every inconvenient moment and to weep at the recollection of past troubles.  She is becoming a great trial and nearly ha…[Read more]

@valtmy Well met, friend!  How goes it with you?  What write you at present?

(Upon the chance that you may wonder from whence cometh my fair speech, I have Robin of Locksley on my mind.)

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice @ariel-ashira @alia @valtmy Anyone on?

@jenwriter17 I am not.  I don’t really have the time right now to be on another forum besides this one. 😉  But I go on there sometimes just to read articles or forum posts, because I know a lot of the people there. 😀

Really?  Which books were those?  What exactly didn’t you like about them? (I know absolutely nothing abut Cre…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Great!  Glad it was helpful. 🙂

I’ve seen your topic on the Story Embers forum and noticed that several people are recommending CreateSpace (or something like that.)  I’ve never heard of it before, so I’m not going to say anything about it, except that they’re probably right that it’s a great place, if they’ve already used it.  I ju…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Aw, thanks.  That’s sweet. 🙂  But there are a lot of people there who aren’t here. (Yes, I’ve read a few of the posts/threads on the SE forum. 😉 )

Yes, I’ve read a few of their articles.  I often forget to do so, but I’ll go over there in a bit and read some, since you recommended them.  I am subscribed to their emails, and I am…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hey! I’m back! And oh yes, I’ve often thought that it has a similiar plot to beauty and the beast.

@seekjustice Possibly.  As usual, it all depends on when I get tired and decide to go to sleep. 😉

See you later!

@rochellaine

I’m going to disappear for a bit. Will you be on later?

@seekjustice Yeah, I was actually thinking yesterday as I listened to those songs that Jane Eyre reminded me of Beauty and the Beast.  Except that Jane wasn’t supposed to be very pretty.  Do you see the comparison like I do?

Who knows? 🙂

Great. 😀

@ariel-ashira No, I am not.  I have been considering it, but this forum distracts me enough fr…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I just find him super weird and creepy and I have no idea what Jane sees in him. Other than that i liked Jane and I liked the story quite a lot.

Hey, who knows, you’ve managed to convert me to two old musicals 😉

Hopefully I’ll read it once I’m done with Oliver Twist 🙂

@seekjustice Uh, yeah.  Mr. Rochester isn’t exactly a hero we can sympathize with.  He really didn’t do anything right!  Jane is a pretty nice person herself, though.  Well, I haven’t listened to much of it.  Only about two songs, which I thought were pretty good.  It was an accident that I found it, but I don’t remember what I was listening to pr…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I have heard some of Jane Eyre, but my feelings on the story are quite mixed so I’ve never listened to the whole thing.

I will listen to those (maybe this afternoon). And I’ll look into the Disney musicals as well!

@seekjustice 🙁 I’m sorry.

Well, I was listening to a bit of Jane Eyre yesterday, but I’m sure you’ve already heard that musical, haven’t you?

I also recently found some 70s(ish?) musicals by Disney, (where Newsies came from, of course,) about Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.  I haven’t seen the movies, and I don’t know how accurate to the…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 @rochellaine @ariel-ashira Thanks so much! I really appreciate it 🙂

@rochellaine

it hasn’t been a great month so far, but I’m sure I’ll get over it soon. Have you listened to any new musicals lately? I could use some new listening material 🙂
