Questionnaire 1 What is the one thing you love the most about WdC? When you write, do you like to put yourself in your character's shoes? sometimes Short stories: How short/long should they actually be? Max 3500 Questionnaire 2 Newbies need guidance. No matter how much WDC offers, it's not easy finding all the info and actually understanding it. What links (other than original WDC links) do you use/offer in order to help others? http://writergazette.com/ http://www.writersmarket.com/ http://writetodone.com/how-to-be-a-writer/ http://www.havefunwithhistory.com/ http://www.forwriters.com/references.html http://writerswin.com/templates/ http://www.besthistorysites.net/index.php/research http://digital.mtsu.edu/cdm/landingpage/collection/women http://mgfx.com/KidLit/ http://www.theguardian.com/books/2010/feb/20/ten-rules-for-writing-fiction-part-... Some like competitions, some don't. Where do you stand and why? I agree with "Contests should be there so we can learn, practice our writing, meet deadlines. A lot of people don't agree with the deadlines," who said that? oh you did lol Writing - learned craft or a gift you already posses? The “craft of writing” is undeniably for me a learned skill. But, the gift of storytelling could possibly be in the genes or the blood, or past life remembering, or channeled???? Good question and it deserves some pondering on my part. There's never enough time to do it all. How do you prioritize? Still learning I’ll let you know We all want to write and share what we wrote. Some of us lack the time to review, while others simply refuse to spend their time reviewing others. How do you feel about this? In a perfect world we would give and take in harmony. Gandhi said it best "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Do you see yourself as a generous person? How do you think others see you? Yes they don’t know me Which is your favorite genre and why? Mystery because life is What's your favorite phrase or quote and why? “The fruit don’t fall far from the tree.” Lol I can use it in so many ways here at home. My favorite quote of all time is the "Be the change you wish to see in the world." and tied for that slot is “Harm None” Are you afraid of constructive criticism? If yes, why? YES no not about writing anyway. I KNOW I don’t know enough. I need, we all need, to be able to listen/read, bounce ideas, “consider the human factor” my step dad used to say. Meaning the ability and probability that we make mistakes. We take what we want/need from the reviews we get. What if what we discard is important and what we decided to keep is actually wrong? Second, third opinions? Well don’t let it scare you. Every thought we have is a choice. We make ‘em sometimes we’re wrong. Sometimes we allow our choices to be influenced by others to change a path and wind up on the outskirts of town instead of staying on the road you planned. The one that took you to the train station where your journey to stardom could not begin if you missed the train that caught the boat. You know. lol |
