    http://www.wherewriterslearn.com/index.htm Where Writers Learn, a website with free lessons for writers. Skill-based and practice approach, based on the professor's MFA program at Lesley University. I'm finding the unleash-your-imagination-type lessons helpful.

    Good advice. I write well in the Shut Up and Write group. I went to a presentation today by 3 indie authors. It was interesting and gave me some ideas for promotion and publishing, once I get to that point.

    I joined a writing meet up called Shut Up and Write. It's definitely helping me to get writing. My schedule's been kinda crazy lately but I'm going to try to make some more meet ups soon. The research book is very interesting too.

    Thanks for your input and I do think you make a good point. I guess I am skittish because of my first novel. The character class and POV class I'm in now I feel are helping me, and I also want to improve on my telling vs. showing problem. I think I have the perfectionist problem of not...

    Made some progress. I bought a book that I'm going to use as research for one of my character's professions. It should be interesting and I'm waiting for it to arrive so I can delve into it. Also, I wrote a first scene. I might scrap it later but it felt good to write after so long. It's...

    Thanks for the guidance Mattie. I have not tried the write-everyday approach, but I just got a laptop, so maybe now I should. I know I can write off an outline/structure, because I've done that in college and somewhat for Nanowrimo. I just feel I have a lot more fuel sometimes and it's easy...

    Thanks, I will try your suggestion. I notice also that when I write I get more ideas. The problems is when I'm not writing! I can also be a slow writer. I think that's why I was successful with Nanowrimo. It made me get the words out. Good luck with your writing. I'll be following along. :)

    You write fast. How do you come up with ideas? I mean, ideas to start writing. That part is the longest part for me. Do you outline?

    Thanks for the recommendation! I just bought the course a day ago but haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. However from the description, it looks great. Looking forward to learning from it. I have a few books on showing and not telling, and also a book that says you should tell first...

    Hello again. Here's an update. ~ the POV class is pretty difficult, but I'm enjoying it. It's really opened my eyes about what makes smooth writing shifts when you change POV in the middle of a chapter, and how to avoid confusing the reader. Also, how to decide whose POV to be in is a whole...

    Since I last wrote I received an email from Lenovo saying that they were sorry but they were out of stock and no longer manufacturing my laptop. I was disappointed at first but now I consider it a blessing. I cancelled my order (I had a choice to re-order a comparable laptop) and instead I...
