I've been writing about 1,000 words per day since January 2011. I'm serious about writing but green when it comes to publishing. Orson Scott Card is one of my favorite authors, and I've always found his writing advice invaluable.

I'm currently working on a first draft of "The Prophecy of Merv." It's a story about a wheat farmer who kills the evil king, rescues the princess, and accidentally fulfills the fabricated prophecies about the Lost Prince.

Welcome! If you live close enough, you should check out OSC's 2 day workshop and the week long Boot Camp in Greensboro,NC. Amazing!

Offering treats to our new members is something every and anyone can do. I don't recall that "job" being assigned or contracted exclusively to anyone.

Welcome to the Place... The Fabulous Treehouse. A great place to spend with friends and to learn the craft of writing.


And not to cheat on a Cheat on a boyfriend that is a tattoo artist. Scroll down to the bottom post.


And as you explore be careful with that unicorn she can be mean

Sorry, Merlion. I'll take the pie back if the stuffing is still fresh. Otherwise it goes to the unicorn. Or the pictsies.

And maybe after a nice pie she wouldn't feel so cranky and mean.

That was a Terry Pratchett reference. If you don't know what it means, you should definitely have a read.

He's one writer I've always rejected. For what he writes about not his ability which is probably very good.

I think the word "pixies" actually comes from the Picts, so while Pratchett may have emphasized (and/or "punned" with) it, he probably didn't make it up.

I was thinking of it being short for pictures but Picts works. [Smile]
