I was wondering how other authors handle writer's block? It is something I am experiencing a bit of a problem with now. I'm using the old trick of skipping ahead to another scene that is easier to write and hoping that after I have my creative juices flowing I can find a way through the part that was giving me trouble. Of course some times the writer's block is a bit more unwieldy and it is blocking any kind of writing. I usually resort to either just powering through it or taking a bit of a break from writing to see if time can take care of it.

So how about it, what do you do?

Hi Everyone,

Given that I haven't slept much at all the past two nights with the nightmares coming back my brain is getting a little fuzzy. I still hope to have chapter 9 of Bloodlines and chapter 8 of Trial and Heiress both done before the end of the week, but as I'm not firing on all cylinders right now the going may be a little slow. Once I have both of them out I will try to have chapter 6 of Alex in Wonderland up by mid next week. Again these are hopeful times depending on whether my brain cooperates.

Well, frankly I am in shock at today's news that Women will soon be in combat. I wonder if the pendulum will swing back at any time? I actually doubt that combat will work out well for women since some of them are 5'5" and some GI's are 6'0".

I don't know enough history to know if women's roles have fluxuated in the 6000+ years of recorded human history. Of course, it is likely that humans have been round for perhaps 60,000 years. Who knows what happened back then.

I am new to writing so I might regret this, but can I get some constructive criticism on my story "a boy and his dog" from a few people? Your going to have to be gentle since I'm not used to getting critical feedback. Also don't worry about spelling or grammar mistakes, those are going to happen and the reason I make sure to get editors to read it over first. (I have dyslexia, though not as bad as when I was young.)

Maybe you could also include some things that I did well or that you liked in the story to help get down the bitter pill of criticism?

Hi everyone,

I am looking for someone with experience writing orders for the military. Preferably c. 1975 and O-4 or above, but I'll take any help I can get.

It's for a story I'm working on:

Hi everyone,

Hi i'm searching a story but i don't remeber the name or author.

Does anyone publish different versions of their stories on different sites? At some point my story will have some story arcs that will deal with some rather intense issues. While I deem them to be important to the overal large picture of the story, I am also sensitive to my readers, and would like to offer a toned down version on one site, an uncut version on another. Wondering what other writer's thoughts are. Also I am still trying to get a grasp on the audiences on BCTS, FM and TG Storytime.

Ok I am going back and rereading some of my fav stories and I go to read Tom Morph's Whisperwind trilogy and it is off Fictionmaina as if Tom Morph never existed what happened?

Okay, you all know that Brandy Dewinter is one of my best friends, and that she has on many an occasion (as in just about every time), infinitely improved my scratchings with her wit, her eye for just the right word, and her ability to ferret out and then help correct story inconsistencies. On top of that, she is one of the best storytellers in our genre.

For those readers who like to be sure that a story will be completed before they begin to read it, Perspectives is now finished (as are all of my stories at the time of posting this blog).

I tried to kick over the traces on Fictionmania where I used to post stories since 2001. I have forgotten my old passwords and even my old user name. I don't even have my old email address so I cant go back to my stories and add new chapters. Bummer!!!!!
I used to have over 200 chapters on fictionmania and I used to rate as one of the most prolific contributors. Now I can't even edit my own profile or anything. I cant even use the new formats nor can I contact the site administrators.

In my eyes the site has deteriorated as far as user friendliness is concerned.

I'm working on a story and gonna need an editor/ second pair of eyes to double check my work. Any takers? If so contact me at [email protected]

I would like to thank ALL of you that commented on my last blog about Jem and also all of the PM's and the story comments which I'll be getting to asap.

Touch the Light, who is posteing the Transmigration stories, is flat out one of the best authors ever to post TG fiction on this site.

I don't know what happen, but i was re reading the snafu series on sapphire, i had just finished the 2nd chapter on the 2nd half when the site went down.

Someone had offered to be my editor a while back ago and I wanted to take them up on the offer but couldn't find the message in my inbox. I have converted a different kind of life into a novel and will put it on Kindle, but it needs one more solid edit. Any takers?

If anybody happens to care, I just wanted to post an update on the writing of "Jake goes for help",

I have recently posted a new story, after over eleven months of trying to write I managed to eke out a short story. I have one comment out of over 350 reads. Either I am a whiz at writing or I totally suck, It would be nice to know if there are any errors, is there continuity, did one get lost in the story. I've been in a depression and want to ensure I am doing okay again. I admit I need validation.

Ok sorry to disappoint you people, but I am not as innocent as I try to be.
