I just finished Dave Butler's debut Witchy Eye. Highly entertaining and his use of language is amazing.

I love Dwight Swain's story structure and learned so much reading his book, but I did feel it was somewhat out of date. However a student of his incorporated his methods in her book "The Fantasy Fiction Formula." Let's see what was her name. . . I shall look it up. Deborah Chester. She cut...

Hi Dave and Nigel. Welcome to the jungle :)

Thanks for sharing that. What an incredible woman/artist. I am in awe of her.

Welcome Ben, Dave, Brydar and Tamara!

Welcome all new persons! Especially mrminority. I am a high school teacher, and one of my students submitted her story for the first time this year and received an honorable mention! You're in the game!

So many cool new writers to get to know! Welcome all!

Welcome to the forum Stryker, Ben and Muri!

Thanks all of you. I appreciate your wisdom, as a writer who takes WAY too much time to produce one short story.

Also a form rejection on my Arthurian story... they are still alive and kicking it seems.

I'm in for Arthur! Good luck all!

Welcome to the group Fortis and DeLaMer! And best of luck in Q4.

Welcome to the group Wesley! I'll have to give the action figure scenario a try for working out story problems. :) What a great way to walk into writing.

Welcome Matthew, David, Casey and Shelby! And anyone I may have missed. You'll find lots of great information and cool people in this forum. Enjoy!

I feel somewhat victorious. Made it to the final round of the hyperspeed edition.

Welcome to the forum Kendall and Marie!

Welcome Meg, Danielle and Sarah, and any one else I may have missed. You'll find the people on this forum exceptionally gracious and willing to share their expertise. Have fun!

Welcome to the forum, Santana!

After seeing so many graphs of indie vs. trad publishing, this is the first study that really defines its sample and shows that it's meaningful. He addresses the population and makes it a level playing field. Hallelujah!

Got 0.3 inches here yesterday. My period C chemistry students did a decent rain dance yesterday, but I hope your prediction of 7 inches is true, Isto.

I believe we got 0.01 inch last night! Good work!

Please send California some rain, Ishmael. Rain dances are enforced during lunch at all schools. Still nothing. Heavy clouds, no rain.

Very interesting. Of Amazon's top 100 bestselling fantasy novels, 57 were indies vs. 32 from large pub houses.

This is a very informative bit of data, and though conducted by a romance writer, it does not pertain exclusively to them, but rather, to genre writing as a whole. Although I didn't see a piece of that pie dedicated to monster erotica

Congrats Rebecca and HLF! Rebecca has been on fire lately with sales.

Welcome to the forum, Paul!

I can't wait to meet you Stuart!! Congrats!

Welcome Stuart, but I wonder if you're colorful enough

Congrats Annie. I just read about it yesterday and look forward to reading it!

Welcome Angel! I teach high school and have been trying to coax several of my students to enter the contest. Good for you!
