Ann’s comments from the Support for Indie Authors group.

But at the cost of my soul????

Just kidding. I have nothing against them except that I'm not particularly fond of their writing style.

Oh no no no no no no.

Ray Bradbury is possibly my all time favorite author.

Riley!!! I get to start your book tomorrow!!!

I'm the same way A. I like Emancipator radio because the music is moody but soothing and doesn't distract me with lyrics.

Welcome Andrea! I look forward to learning more about you both and Strickland Press! :)

Welcome everyone!! So happy to have you all here!

Not at all. Sorry for leaving that out!

I read The Penitent Assassin and The Rush of Betrayal: Deception (Book 1) by Shawn. And I've read Cinders and Hontas (Good Tales for Bad Dreams Books 1 and 2) by VM. All four are excellent.

While it was my husband who inspired me to self publish (and he's not an author), there were two Indie Authors who befriended me and kept me moving in the right direction. One is Shawn Wickersheim and the other (I don't think he knows this) is our very own VM.

VM has been an inspiration to me since I "met" him on Twitter prior to this group's formation.

So thank you, VM. You are an excellent gentleman indie author.

There have been so many debates and threads started about this that I felt the need to begin this discussion thread:

What makes a good review?

Be it a positive one or a negative one, what should the review consist of?

I'd really like to see everyone's thoughts on how reviews should be broken down.

We'll call it "Anatomy of a Review."

That's tomorrow!! Where did I put that box??

Philip, I'm the same way! All my books start out by being handwritten. I find it quite difficult to type out drafts instead of hand writing them.

Thank you for starting this thread B.K.! Excellent suggestions!

Hi M.E.! Your book looks great! Welcome!

Excellent post! In my writing, I feel more as though I'm merely listening to their story and they're telling it through me. Whether I get attached or not, "whatever happened, happens" or vice versa -- as per Lost.

All my drafts start with hand written copies. So I usually write in bed, late at night, with a little booklight that was a gift from my husband :) And he sleeps with a mask so I don't wake him up :)

Hi Hayden!

Yes my thread is locked because it's just an explanation of the sub category. The goal is for members to create new discussions under that category. :)

:) I like your point Ken :)

Yep yep. I get their newsletter daily. Just haven't been able to meet their criteria yet.

2 margaritas and a shot of patron....,..,,you guys are awesome!!'n
