Nathan Bransford - The Forums

I blog mostly for the relationships, and because I want to give back, and also to learn more. It's very time-consuming for me, but I've made real friends through blogging, so I value it. The important thing to remember is that it's not about your work, it's about you. If you post all the time about ...

Okay, so this is where I prove that I really AM a 21st Century Caveperson...

How does one go about purchasing one's own domain name, for the purposes of setting up a website?

I am so clueless.

I'm @IshtaWrites And as an addition to the discussion on hashtags, there are some that are used for regular weekly conversations that happen at a specific time: #PBLitChat is every other Tuesday morning at 6AM Eastern; #YALitChat happens every Wednesday evening at 9 (or is it 10?) Eastern; #MGLitCha...

Great idea!

I don't have a YouTube account, but I want to start one ...

But I was on facebook when it was still for college students and the entire world changed. Whatever Google is doing its not nearly as interesting to me because they've started it to make money. Originally networking was just for college kids and life was simple. Did you see "The Social Network...

I've got a BUNCH since I posted here last! I had to step away from the forums because I was spending all my computer time here, but now I'm back with a plan.

Anyway, this week I posted on Voice, reading up, and music.

The link is in my signature.

I'd change it, if only to avoid putting off the agent who reps a book with the same title.

Watcher has some good ideas. Or maybe something with "Betrayal" in it?

Best of luck with the querying!

This is all a fascinating discussion. First, to Cookie and the others who discussed grease pencils and waterproof notepads, thank you for the invaluable ideas! I get all my ideas in the shower, but never thought that someone might have actually invented waterproof paper so I could write them down. I...

I loved WOC last year, and look forward to participating again this year. As far as taking time off from work to do it, it depends on what you want to get out of it. If you have specific questions that you want answered by specific editors and agents, you should be there live. If you want to get you...

Yuppers! I'm on Goodreads as Ishta Mercurio, I think. (Maybe as Ishta mercurio-Wentworth, which is my married name; I write under my maiden name, since my married name is a mouthful.) I love it - I get to find out what my friends liked and didn't like about a book, and it's a place where I can keep ...

:-) Okay, Charlotte, I won't laugh at you if you won't laugh at me!

Thanks for answering my question, guys. Off to edit my post now...

QUESTION FOR NATHAN: I'm not sure where else to post this; sorry. I entered my first page a while ago, and since than I've completely rewritten it. Changed the POV, changed the voice, changed their names, everything. Is it okay to delete my entry and resubmit my revised, unrecognizable-from-the-orig...

Title: Waiting for April Genre: Paranormal Romance Two families sat around Henry Brice’s outdoor setting, and I knew them both, but there was no one my age here. I didn’t mind, as I got along with adults better than I did with people my own age, anyway, so I took a seat and answered questions about...

bcomet: do you have an outline? Maybe start at the end of your story, then work backwards?

Those are my only ideas. (Worries for own NaNo project, which has fallen by the wayside while relatives visit from overseas #whydidIsayNovemberwasagoodtimetovisit?)

We're all pulling for you!

Oh, I read Water for Elephants - it's really good! (Although I thought it was a different novel that she wrote during NaNo - I remember reading that she did extensive research for Water for Elephants over a period of many months.) I recently finished DUST CITY by Robert Paul Weston - super book! I r...
