(One of my books is a psuedo fairy tale so ages were younger for marriage... otherwise... it seems weird to have them married so young.) I want to be realistic, but not raunchy. Actually... I don't want to be realistic and maybe that's the problem. I'd never go into details, but it feels silly and unreal to act like there ...

I very happy to find a site for writers. I think only another writer can understand what we go through. I know I have bestsellers in my hands, but I'm not Paris Hilton, I didn't have sex with a student, and I don't have 8 babies. I hate the process of Query Letters, Synopsis, and just getting in the slush pile anyway. SO, I self published my 1st book last year. It is "Stand ...

I've skimmed through most of it but in the process of world building certain things seem to come into play: 1. Rules of your world 2.

I figure, it seems big enough to warrant its own thread. Don't get me wrong -- I LOVED Twilight. Like I said before, New Moon was suckish, Eclipse was pretty okay, and I still say BD was freaking amazing -- but SM DID break her own rules. So that, for me, made it pretty suckish. The one thing that bothers me about the entire series is this: it's become a ...

It seems to me like the forum has had a bit of a lull recently. Which is understandable - it's summer, lots of people are on holiday, lots of people will be outside enjoying warm weather. What I would like to do is, over the next couple of weeks, have everyone (or those that want to, anyone - obviously it's not compulsory) tell me a goal that they have for the coming months. It doesn't have to be big - you can update your goal(s) once you've met one, or if you have to change it. Once ...
