I find the same with series

Posted on Sat, 28 Jul 2018

I find the same with series that run on. As I post new sections, the readership dwindles. I killed my last one fairly early, preferring to go with a short story. I've tried longer pieces in the past. There are options, I suppose. If you can get...

I'm really relieved to read

Posted on Sat, 28 Jul 2018

I'm really relieved to read you're over that. Thank goodness. I suppose when we don't get the results we hoped for it makes us dig deeper. Maybe go through what you've written and see how you might sink the hook in more firmly - get the reader...

Honest and candid, as it

Posted on Tue, 17 Jul 2018

Honest and candid, as it should be (said the reader salivating for dirt). I know that feeling about standing outside the door, then walking away (sorry Tobi and whoever's seminar I circled, then abandoned). Full of the realities, this. We must...

I think you should. More

Posted on Wed, 11 Jul 2018
