Whoa! First: This list is amazing RSchibler! Excellent points, all of them! Two: Pacing: It's no secret that the beginning of a story is the most important and the end the second-most important part. I think the third most important part is the end of all the scenes. I see a lot of stories with scen...

. . . . but I've always felt like I'd be the weakest link, so I eliminate myself before I join. :( Dustin: Weakest link? Really?!! This is coming from a 2x Finalist; 2x Semi; 4x Silver; 9x HM I think NOT! wotf002 I should have elaborated. I was referring to participation. It's a quandary. Am I not ...

I can't speak for everyone, but picking faults would make me very uncomfortable. I don't want to feel "better than," I want to feel like a peer. That involves helping people be the best they can, and they might be willing to help me in turn. (Not saying we should put people on a pedestal ...

Alicia: Does your group have size limits? I believe my online Writers Ring was formed with the idea of inviting specific people. Those people joined, and then we closed the group. There are 7 of us in total, and unlike the in-person group I was part of, there are less stringent rules regarding part...

. I'd love to be in a group, but I've always felt like I'd be the weakest link, so I eliminate myself before I join. :( http://www.futurefinalists.com/i/weak.jpg Well first, I agree with Dragonchef, and second, I completely understand. I think that's why it helps to find a group of similar-leveled ...

By the way, Thank you so much, Alicia and Liz. I don't want to clog up the thread in Publishing, but it's a great thread, and several great ideas there. Thanks! Aww, you're welcome, Reuben! :) If you (or anyone) find any good open calls, do share them over there. I know I'm always looking for new m...

Hi everyone, So, I’ve been lurking on this forum and submitting to the contest for the past 10 yrs. I’ve racked up multiple Rs, a several HMs, and 1 SHM. I’ve also submitted several stories to multiple magazines and queried a ton of agents about my novel but have only been met with rejection. At th...

Ooh, this is a great idea. Thanks for starting this, Peony! One of the MOST intimidating things for me as a new writer, ohhh so many years ago, was trying to figure out where and how to submit all the stories I wrote for WotF out to other markets. The Submission Grinder is a great place to start, bu...

I know I'm late to the game, but... wotf056 Now, for a quick note of thanks... So, I don't post on here a lot, I'm more of a lurker. Even if you don't know me (which is sad because I'm way cool) I know many of you by your names and posts, and do know I'm silently rooting for and encouraging each of ...

A belated congrats to all for the incredible showings here. So many HM, Silvers, Semi's and Finalists. And of course, "R" is for "Righteous as these are the subs that take the greatest courage of all. Go Forumites, go! (I am pleased to report I was one of the Finalists this quarter, ...

SUPERSTARS SUMMARY Hi All, Long time lurker, first time poster. My name is Alicia for those of you not in the know, and Wulf asked me (as with a few others) to write up a small synopsis on something we learned at Superstars Writing Seminar - Feb 2020 (It was SO much fun ♥) THE ART OF THE PITCH As p...

Just in time to watch the ball drop and drink champagne. I'm in, also barely under the wire, and also with a last minute, ditch effort, three-day story (Yikes!) I blame you Wulf for making me enter, and with a new story. Which I might still be grumpy about... wotf001 Good luck all, and Happy New Yea...

I'm in. One of those quarters. Wrote a fresh story in two days. Did revisions in the final hour, raced like a madman through the submission questions, pushed submit at Wizehive at 11:56 PM. I know, I know, I could have used those last couple of minutes to put some sonnets in the story or design ano...

Submitted today for Quarter 4. I'm pretty sure this is the earliest I have ever submitted a story - a whole TWO days before the deadline, haha!

Good luck all, see you on the flip side

~A. Cay ♥

OMGOSH I made it! wotf024 Like several other new forumites, I'm a long time forum visitor/lurker - for over a year - as I also couldn't get logged on. I'm super happy to have finally gotten on here, I feel like I know some of you guys from reading your posts for so long. Anddd now that I've typed th...
