Re: Looking for a Critique Partner for Literary Fiction
I may be interested in reading it. I'm a literary writer who is working on a literary/contemporary YA though it is not ready for Beta reading at the moment (still in the first edit phase). I'd love to take a look. How long is it? Let me know. The more critique partners the better!

Re: A page to ponder; literary fiction

Re: A page to ponder; literary fiction
I disagree with the setup of the mental institution. Personally, I know all too well what goes on in there. Save for making myself look crazy I will tell you people are allowed to wear their own clothes in these places, not every staff member is out to get someone, albeit, there is a large part of t...

Re: Facebook vs. Twitter
It used to be Facebook. Then, a guy I follow on blogger said to give Twitter a try. It was "meh" at first until I found all these writers in the trenches and their tweets are really inspiring. I do use Facebook a lot, but I'm a tweeter. Sorry Mark Ruckerburg!
