Authors, Entrepreneurs, and other Creative Individuals Pursuing Their Dreams
Searching for someone to swap critiques--an online critique group
Hi, I have recently written a book Jesus My Son: Mary's Journal of Jesus' Early Life. It is published and available on "The Wall". My book was reviewed by many friends and edited by a professional, but when I look at parts of it, there are things I wish I could change.
I am currently working on Book II of the series and would like to enlist help from some fellow writers. If you are working on a book also, maybe we could critique each others work. Maybe we could even form an…

Short Story Contest Winner
The winners up to sixth place are now out and online for the Arkansas Writers’ Conference contests at Little Rock, Arkansas.
I placed second in contest 25. Look What The Cat Dragged In. Title of my short story was The Unexpected Visitor. Guidelines for this entry - a short story and no word limit which is great for me. I know 2500 words is about the top limit for an entry, but I like it when I don’t have to watch the count close.
I’ve been entering this set of…

Is there some sort of metaphysical transformation which manifests
itself when the light turns to darkness? Darkness, after all, is merely
the absence of light.

Moretti Again
I don’t know how it is for other writers but for me, the creative thoughts seem to start hitting me when the sun goes down. Before then, I suppose, my thoughts linger somewhere outside, probably in the garden.
There always seems to be something outside that needs my attention.
The problem I haven’t been able to conquer is I seem to wake up around seven in the morning,…

It was an overcast morning. Being a Sunday I decided to laze on the bed with a cup of piping hot coffee. The rich aroma of the freshly decocted coffee tickled my senses. A sip later, my cell phone buzzed. Hesitantly I reached out to get the disturbing instrument. It was Rahul on line. "Mam, good morning. I called you to inform that a few of us have been called for interviews in a couple of consultancy houses. And..." The call got disconnected as my mobile was out of charge. The call had, no…

Please forgive the shameless plug, but, with Christmas about to loom large in everyone's thoughts, I'd like to drop in a quick plug for my award-winning children's book, Tilly's Tale, written under my Harry Porter pseudonym.
