New Group

New blogs are on the way!  I have been busy rewriting my first draft using all the advice and suggetions that I have been given. 

I have to tell you that I thought writing the first draft was hard.  Well I was wrong!  The rewrite is by far harder.  What i have been learnig is there are a lot of different oppions out there and just not sure what which ones to use.

I think you just need to find someone that you trust  and listen to them.  I have found one thing and that is a professional editor my just be what i am needing.  I feel that I need someone that know the industry and can point me in the direction that is best for my book.  That costs money, but the rewrite will continue and the money will continue to go into savings.

For now, I have set up a new writing group in Yahoo Groups.  If you do not know anything about Yahoo groups, it is a great place to find and make new friends.  Yahoo Groups is an e-mail serivce for people to connect with others who have the same interests.  All communication is thru email and with members of that group.  It is a great little service.  I have been part of many groups and have made a lot of friends thru these groups.

As I have said, I have set up a group and we are called Novice Writer.  My goal for the group is to build a small comunity of writers so that we can all learn and to become a better writer.  I would like to build the group with beginner and experienced writers, with some that have been published and some that just write for fun.  I want all kinds of writers to join, if you write short stories, novels, articles, or poems, I would love you to join us.

Some of the things that will be going on are contests, challenges, Round Robin Stories (this one should be fun). I will be posting writing prompts and journal entry ideas.  We are just a small group right now, but looking for more members to help our little group grow.  So why not head over to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/novice_writers/ and join us.
