Ester (esterlopez) | 4 comments I've been having a problem updating my website and if any of you have time, could you check it out and give me feedback. I went from two separate blogs to one website with alternating blogs only because WordPress updated my site and turned my website into a "Page Not Found." I switched to Website Builder and it's not exactly the same. Any comments would be appreciated. My new address is www.esterlopez.com. My former subdomain: www.AuthorBlogSpot.esterlopez.com seems to still be working, but I'm moving those interviews to the first website from here on out. And if anyone would like to be interviewed, let me know and I'll send you the questionnaire. Thanks!

Nadine Keels (nadine_keels) | 113 comments Contemporary fiction often gets left out of genre lists, but it isn’t a nonspecific, miscellaneous, or throwaway category any more than historical fiction is.

Many of us authors find that reading isn't the same as it was back in our pre-authorship days. Is that a bad thing?

Elie N. Azar (elienazar) | 8 comments Before Strength...Comes you!

You know that rush you get when you love someone? How you'd drive so fast to meet your person. Run all the way up to their floor because you can't wait for the elevator? That rush you get when you look them in the eyes and hug them at the door?

Do you still remember the things they promised you? Yea, you got scared for one second thinking that, like others, they'll break their promises, only for them to prove you right. You think that it's them who hurt you, while, in fact, it was your own heart that did.

What hurts most is, when your words can't give justice to your feelings, and you're just stranded there in the middle of your chaotic silence only left with a memory of how it felt like, and an unfulfilled vision of what it could have been. I know you miss them dearly.

Cry it out, they broke your heart but not your soul. Don't be your own hero tonight, let it be, let it eat you out; But, once the crying is over, rise higher, love stronger and give better.

Cause after death comes life, and before strength...Comes you.
