SciFi and Fantasy
Novels and similar long-term
projects are very difficult to tell people about before completion. One can get
the nervous feeling that others regard one as seeking credit for something that
hasn't actually been done yet. Thousands of words may be on paper or disc, but
little is of interest to the reading public prior to having at least a scheduled
publication date.
Therefore I suggest that you
watch this space for future developments, & meantime let me tell instead of
The Writers' Portal. This is my local writers' mutual support group and
cheerleading society, and is in no small part responsible for my having gone
fulltime freelance. It's very important for writers, but especially fulltime
writers, to have such a group. In addition to the obvious benefits, the group
can serve as a scapegoat if anything goes wrong.
Seriously, the Writers' Portal
members have been and continue to be of great help in the crafting of my
'science fantasy' work-in-progress, serving as the vital extra pairs of eyes
that catch the stupid bits before an editor can see them. If
you are a writer and haven't joined a local support group let me strongly urge
you to do so. You may visit our site to see what a well-run group looks like:
