Resources for writers
-
Hi @smceccarelli ! Maybe someone mentioned it already, but have you listened to the writing picture book class that SVSlearn offers ? It is quite good!
Thanks for the other ressources, I will check them out!
@DanetteDraws Sign me in if you do such a group! Even if none of us are professional writers, I fell we could still learn from each others!

@NoWayMe I have, thank you! I also have Ann Whitford's book - it's a book I reference often. Sometimes I think it says all that needs to be said...
-
@DanetteDraws, @Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen Yes, would love to swap. At the moment my wordless book is just a page-by-page description of what the illustrations will be. Even that is not quite done, but I will finish it and get ready to share.
Looking forward to critiquing yours!
My e-mail address is smceccarelli@mac.com -
@smceccarelli @Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen @NoWayMe - do you all have Facebook? I generally just use Facebook for private/personal use, but what I could do is create a private group (one where you can only join by invite) so that we can talk on there as if it were a forum, and also share documents with one another in a centralized place. Let me know your thoughts on that! If you think it's a good idea, I can create it and invite you guys to join the group. Just let me know what your name is on Facebook so that I can find you.

@DanetteDraws Great plan! My name is Noemie Gionet Landry on facebook
-
@DanetteDraws Simona Ceccarelli is my Facebook name. With the same avatar pic I use here!
-
@smceccarelli @NoWayMe Okay, I set up the Facebook group! I actually had to invite you by email (it wouldn't let me look up anyone by name unless they were on my friend's list already) - but luckily both your email addresses were easy to find on your websites
Once you join I'll make you admins too. And @Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen let me know if you're still interested and what your email address is so I can invite you too.

This is a great idea! My current picture book idea is still a WIP, and I'm not quite ready with it yet...but would like to share it when ready, and in the meantime I'd love to help critique/work through everyone else's work...(what's not to like about crafting a good story?). I am Dulcie Mascord on Facebook, and dulciemascord [at] gmail.com via email
-
@Dulcie awesome, would be great to have you! I sent you an invite to the group
-
@DanetteDraws Thanks for inviting me! I tried the link on the email and unfortunately got the message 'Sorry, this content isn't available right now. The link you followed may have expired, or the page may only be visible to an audience you're not in.'
Maybe I don't have permission to see the page yet, or something?
-
@Dulcie Oh no! I don't know what's up with that. It should work. I just sent you another 'reminder' email. Maybe the link in the new email will work?
-
Hmm, that is odd, the new link is just the same. I have an idea - you could try a different email, {edited out} [at] hotmail.com ...no idea if that will work, but worth a try.
-
@Dulcie Okay, sent! Which email do you use for your own Facebook profile? I wonder if the email might already need to be connected to a profile...
-
Hooray, it worked this time!
The hotmail one is connected to my Facebook profile, so that must have been the reason -
@Dulcie yay!
-
@DanetteDraws Yes, I'm interested. I just saw this. My e-mail is marsha@owen.sj.ca.us. Thanks!
