Can I post This Here?/Topic Request Line

[aeriedraconia.livejournal.com]

If you want to promote your community ask me about it here rather than just posting your info.
Note: Do not join writers_loft just to pimp your comm, it's impolite and I will most likely delete those posts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do any of you have any requests for topic subjects to discuss?

On the creative side of things.
I have several character and world building posts planned out already but do you have specific areas you'd like focus on? Other things on the creative side?

The nuts and bolts of writing.
How about things to do with plot, structure, dialogue, setting, scene, conflict and etc.?

After the first draft is done then what?
Revision, rewrites and editing, proofreading, spellchecking, grammar, punctuation, beta readers and critiques.

The business end of the writing gig.
The query process, agent search, publishing, after the sale is made, getting paid, royalties, copyrights, can you make a living as a author, should you quit your day job?

Something else?
If you can describe what you want to discuss in more detail than just 'plot or grammar' it would be a help and if you say, 'everything', I'll fly over and eat you messily and with loud crunchings so do try to be a little more specific. ;-)

Hi, I'd like to let you're members know about my community: start_writing. It was originally created for the students of the Open University's 'Start Writing Fiction' Course (A174), however, membership is now open to anyone who is interested in writing fiction.

It is for the discussion of anything to do with fiction writing, but mainly I've been using it to catalogue all the online writing resources I've come across. There are a good number of links on a variety of different subjects. If people are interested in a specific area of writing they can take a look at the Tags page, as that's a quick way of finding relevant posts.

I encourage members to feel free to share information and links, start discussions, ask questions, and request advice and/or critique, but there's no need to join the community to have access to the information/links. It's all public, and it will remain so.

Please let me know if it's okay to post in your comm to rec my comm.

Many thanks

Hi,
Sorry to take so long to get back to you, real life has been eating my braaaainssss.

I'd really like to encourage more discussions here in Writer's_Loft along with interesting links to other information sites.

So, to that end, would consider doing cross posts (an entry in start_writing and a mirrored post in writers_loft) of the posts or links you think would be of interest to the writers here?

Those who are interested can follow your community link and friend your community if they choose and it won't seem like a big ol' advert on this end.

Would that work for you?

That works for me. :)
