Hi everyone,

I've returned after an absence of a year or more (I can't even be sure how long), and I'm a little lost with all the changes.

What's new and exciting in the world?

Jim

 

[Carol Rose]

Welcome back! Have a look around and enjoy!

Welcome back, Jim. I'm relatively new round here, so everything's shiny and exciting, both here and in the world. Speaking of worlds, I see from another thread that you're a fantasy fan. Well, that makes two of us. I look forward to chewing the fat with you.

Hello again, Jim

Welcome back!

Welcome back, to the show that never ends....

 

[Robinne Weiss]

Welcome back! Structure's a bit different, but still the same community of helpful folks!

Basically, just more. So, what are you writing these days would be a better question?

 

[Quillwitch]

hey, there you are! Shouldn´t WE be asking what´s new with YOU!?

 

[Jay Aitch]

The Writing Groups, and the Pop Up Submissions? What are they? The latter I "don't have permissions for". The former, I presume are a way of submitting manuscripts privately for discussion?

You have

For the Writing Groups you have to wait to acquire a certain amount of points to be let in. You do this by actively participating in the forums. And Pop Up Submissions are not done here but on a Facebook page. If you click on it on the landing page you will be able to read the dates and rules. It is hosted by Agent Pete and it gives you insight as to how an agent thinks when reading your first pages. Agente Pete gives feedback on your work while reading it real time in a public forum so that it´s a learning experience for everyone watching/listening.

Hi,

What's new is people are no longer reading books.

Just kidding -- sort of.
