    1. Re: traditional publishing experience - or any with the knowledge question

      Thank you all.  So easy as dropping my stories from RR. If that's the case, then this veil of a rule is pretty dern thin by the Journals. Publish a dozen times by permitting forums that allow multiple (...)


    2. traditional publishing experience - or any with the knowledge question

      I have been looking to submit some shorts in literary journals.  In an exercise, I posted a few here to get thoughts or feedback. Now I went to send a story to Cimmaron Review and their restriction (...)


    3. Re: Favourite part about writing a book?

      Creating a "real" character, one that comes to full life. You can sympathize with, be inspired by; one you can want to jump into the fray with them and fight alongside them!  Doing the righteous work (...)


    4. Re: Who is your idol

      I am assuming, laid within the question, was an inquiry about authors/writers. Seems to be the prevailing responses. But I like Shomin's response. I might have to let mom and dad share it for me. Really (...)


    5. Re: Any of You Have This Experience(Story Related)

      Yes, indeed. I have speculated here it probably is as much a part of the free reading thing. If the conveyor belt of words is moving for free, and time is a limited currency, the leap frog can possibly (...)


    6. Re: Question to RR's most prolific writers

      Publishing Online As the traditional people come from traditional backgrounds, there's a bias against web publishing. If your book is already up online or in a store, it's not going to be picked up by (...)

    8. Re: Question to RR's most prolific writers

      What is a "stubbed story"?  Read it a couple times, a story on Kindle Unlimited was "stubbed" on RR. Is this a brief version? A truncated book with only a few chapters?  Is this a requirement (...)


    9. Re: Question to RR's most prolific writers

      My question is, if one is drawing 20-50,000 readers, that is traditional publisher envy. Are these writers publishing in the traditional market?  If not, why?  Lots of big authors that started (...)


    10. Re: Question to RR's most prolific writers

      It seems pretty easy to me. There are other factors as well. Writers only make around 9-14% of the sale when with traditional publishers. Not only that, the contracts they have you sign are awful. They (...)


    11. Re: Question to RR's most prolific writers

      Are these writers publishing in the traditional market?  I gotta ask this. If you make a lot of money online without ever having to sign your books with a publisher who will take a portion of your (...)


    12. Re: Question to RR's most prolific writers

      Any who have an answer, certainly, but primarily to the most popular authors here. While I have bounced around and through some pretty entertaining fiction here, probably about 7-8 authors now, I have (...)

    14. Re: Question to RR's most prolific writers

      Good answers, thanks. I suppose, getting your story out is all that matters. Certainly to me. I didn't start writing to "make money", but rather on the other of that world. So, I probably still have (...)

    16. Re: Question to RR's most prolific writers

      Trad is hard to break into unless you know the right people. There are tens of thousands of submissions and only a handful of people going through them. Unless you get lucky, your chances of being published (...)

    19. Re: When and why did you start writing?

      I started writing late last year. I have always had ideas for stories, but I never put them to paper. But last year I read the stormlight archive and it inspired me to start writing. I haven't put anything (...)


    20. Re: Objectionable Content: Sexual Content

      Detailed sexual content is mostly a no for me. In my opinion, 90% of the time it feels like reading someones dirty fantasy and it's wierd.  Most of the time is enough to imply that characters had sex and (...)
