    Yay, I'm up to 10 parts!

    I don't know if that's worth celebration or not, but it feels good to be positive about it. Posted part 10 of my story on here today.

    Is all this just a waste of time?

    I'm much better than I used to be. Growing up was tough and I didn't know a lot about myself through that time until into my 30's when I discovered that I actually have mild autism. Then I developed multiple sclerosis so I have my challenges. Oh statistics. My wife hated that class. She is in...

    Is all this just a waste of time?

    I do hope you don't give up on that story. As it is, I see talent in your writing and I hope you continue to expand on it. Boy have I had nice messages from agents myself. Don't let an agents message get you down. And never listen to anyone who uses the words 'give up' on you. I've had my fair...

    Is all this just a waste of time?

    Let me share with you a post I put on my FB page as part of my answer: What does it take to not give up? Let me put it into perspective for you. I decided I wanted to write when I was eleven years old. All my life, I’ve wanted to create. And I certainly have. Some adults marveled at my...

    Writing How do you go about making a protagonist "intimidating?"

    What makes mine intimidating fall into a number of factors. Mostly it's what they are willing to do when pushed to their limits. I also build background for characters including how well known they are to the world they are in. Reputation is everything after all. Then you have other characters...

    Editing How the Heck Do You Find Motivation to Go Back and Edit Your Chapters?!

    Honestly? Sometimes I just have to kick myself into gear, sit down and dig in. Happens to us all.

    Serializing my short stories

    I have a blogspot where I am serializing my short stories. I don't know if that would work well here though. I would do it under the title of GZ Tales. Take a look and tell me what you think... GZ Tales

    How arrogant were you when you first came here

    I may be new here, but not new to writing or social media in its regard. So please don't feel embarrassed. I just learned my lessons elsewhere is all. Always forward, my friend.

    How arrogant were you when you first came here

    You are not alone and I don't think it was necessarily arrogance, well maybe a little. Entering the public domains comes with a variance of pitfalls to learn and manage. You just found one of them and now you know better. It's easy to think ourselves bigger than we really are. It's a tough...

    Seeking some tips because I'm new

    Perhaps ;). There are many avenues to publishing and arguably the hardest part is actually marketing which is left to you 90% of all forms.

    Seeking some tips because I'm new

    Great set of advice. Thank you very much. I agree when it comes to ratings. The best thing to do with a poor rating is ignore it past what you can take for genuine criticism of your work. And people have different views. Thank you again. Super! I will keep that in mind. And who knows where...

    It is perfectly okay not to be confident. You just need practice is all. Best of luck!

    Seeking some tips because I'm new

    Good point. Speaking of which, how often is best to post for someone new?

    Seeking some tips because I'm new

    Your story sounds interesting. Thank you for the tips. I'm better at writing stories sometimes than actually expressing myself. I know, does not compute but that's my brain in a nutshell LOL. This is really just a new avenue that I am trying with my stories. It may take off, it may not. But I...
