Topic: I writing my frist book!
I'm writing a book on what my weight has done to me and Putting in about my lap RNY. How do you get a publisher? I new on it all?
Topic: I'm new...just fishin'
I write all the time...mostly journaling and life reflection and anecdotal(?). I'd love to pull it all together and get some focus and write a book eventually. Since my WLS in March I'm getting more serious minded about using my talent.
Topic: Fiction Writer, but here's a poem I wrote--
SCARS
As I scrub my body in the shower,
Soap suds sliding down the drain,
my fingers find the scar on my right hip--
an ancient scar, thick and white,
from falling off a steel trash can
onto a milk bottle when I was five--
blood mixing with cream and broken glass
the babysitter's first day on the job,
the horrified, penitent babysitter--
My mother came from work,
hugged the shaking woman,
told her she still had a job--
told me, from across the room,
"Stop crying, you'll be fine."
No hug. Another scar.
Topic: RE: where are the writers
Sorry to hear 
about the manuscript rejection letter, but hey no one knows more about disapproval 
than us (plus size people). So use that strength, dont let the disappointment discourage your spirit, continue to fish the same story to others
...good luck with your article.
Question;
Are u a freelance writer?
I am a SAHM and I'm intrested in writing a couple articles/childrens books.

we're here, we're apparently just in hiding.
I just got another rejection letter today, so I'm feeling a little loser-like.
In the meantime though, I'm working on another article. 
Topic: RE: where are the writers
I check in here and the poetry board since they are my passions but they are never

Topic: RE: Stuck Mid-Novel
Thanks, Randi, that's excellent advice. However, time management is a major problem. Since I wrote that post, I have found a wonderful lady who lives in South Bend who has an autistic son, and she has been a treasure trove of advice and has even read parts of my manuscript. I think I have a pretty good handle on it now, but thanks so much for thinking of me!
