I've only recently gotten into twitter....short thoughts there. Long posts are cool. Nice to meet you. Parenthesis are neat...handy things.

Hi Kirstin, thanks for the pronunciation thing...I'm terrible with that. Hope you stick around. Solid intro. Driving a limo sounds hard.

Ha, did you reclaim it? During class? *gasp* I think my little teacher heart just seized :-P Kidding, I'm sure you do fine. Inspiration can strike at strange times.

Rubber band gun or disc gun and toy soldiers. Pirate LEGOs

Is the poem book okay? Have you considered typing out some of your poems? That might make it easier to preserve them.

I don't know all that much about Card's personal views...I've just heard tell that he's rather arrogant. *shrug* never did any research on the man.

What is the definition of High Fantasy? I've only read one Weiss and Hickman book (and it bored me...so I guess I'm not too much of a high fantasy fan)

I tend not to know much about specific writers....so I don't run across the problem a lot, but I think it would bother me. I'm with Meadow though... never liked Dickens much anyway. As for Card. Ender's Game was awesome, beyond that most of his works are just meh.

No problem. Should be an interesting mini-glance into people's psyches :p My current avatar is the cover of my most recent writing project to be put before the public eye. I used to go with a little thumbnail thing somebody had made for me as part of writing/ participating in a fantasy forum...

I may try Scrivner someday, but right now, I'm still stuck one the convenience of my old, faithful word program...and not even the "new" one.

A lot of poetry "contests" have reading fees to enter, but I guess then you just have to look at the general reputation of the contest. In general, paying for a review isn't a good idea.

Amazon has some nice self publishing options. Just another option. The P & E site is very good. Also great for vetting agents.

If somebody found a surefire way to promote a book they'd write a book about that and sell it.

Wedded to War by Jocelyn Green :star3:

I prefer YA fantasy. Icemark Chronicles by Stuart Hill comes to mind. Brandon Sanderson's got a lot of great books too. I enjoyed the Mistborn trilogy and the spinoff book written after that. I think that's more character driven stuff.

Welcome to the BAR. Hope you have a great time. The sci fi section could always use more participation :-P

I didn't know there was autocorrect either. Um, just be careful with that sort of thing....it isn't perfect. Sometimes teachers need to draw out the quiet ones, but the ones brave enough to always offer an answer are also a blessing.

I actually prefer Kathy Reichs, but Cornwell's all right.

I once found a dollar somebody had used as a book mark. Can't say I recommend that though.

Oh I hope I have a lot of students this year who can say "I love science!" An online writing group might be a good place to start. For a while, I was writing for a forum like website called Legends of Mernac. Although they were usually just character sketches, it was good fun and training...
