I'm still working on finally finishing any of the many stories I've started lol. I love writing, but always seem to get writers block, followed by a lot of cool ideas for new stories lol.0

I am right with you on this one! I have started three different young adult fiction pieces and the start of them always seem so gripping in my head. I feel it locked in there. The one ready to get out!0 -

A friend and I are writing a book, but it's of the non-fiction variety. More of an editing and ghost-writing task of amalgamating essays, but I will still feel badass when it's a book .0

Yes! I am an author of two self-published equestrian guide books. I'm currently working on the third edition, though the first book was published when I was only 13. Now, two years later, I'm looking to improve my vocabulary, writing technique, and spend more time both behind a book and a Microsoft Word document.0

i have only written one article for a national magazine. I am working on book / art craft type.. but am stuck
you can see my work at: www.kadstudio.com0 -
I'm sort of an author. I wrote a play that was performed all over the US when I was younger and I am working on my first novel. Mostly, though, I'm a poet, which is pretty lame. Anyway, feel free to add me if you like.0

Family apocrypha says that I wrote my first story at age four, although no copies of that work survived to present day. I have one published novel, and am working on a sequel.0

I write inspirational-motivational but mostly poems. I wrote and published my first book (autobiography) a few years ago. I went through Publish America, just because I didn't really want any royalties. I just wanted it published as an accomplishment. I think about writing another but it was so time consuming and I spent alot of lonely nights typing away. But it's one of my greatest accomplisments other than my beautiful children.

I don't know if I would say i'm a author. I actually write blogs and articles for my companies website.0

I really wanted to when I was in 14-16 but I never got very far.. =/ I've thought about getting back into it though.0
-
Not attempted to publish anything, but I write all the time and have won some awards0
-
I blog... and want to eventually write some short stories and creative non-fiction0

I do nanowrimo each year (and i'm doing camp nanowrimo in august!) if that counts? (:0

I'm working to set up my own web site for my books. I have yet to find any place that will publish for free (free meaning not charge me $700 for their special software *coughAmazoncough*).0
-
I have finished three novels and plan on seeking out representation when my current one is fully edited and revised0
-
I write poems and I've been looking into writing research essays and non-fiction books.0

I just liked your page I'll try and download your book on my IPad later. Congrats! I'm hoping to self-publish next year.
In fact, I have a website: www.dontbecoy.net, which is a free sampling of my erotic art and literotica. Since we're throwing stuff out there - LOL0 -

Awesome, thank you! If you download mine, I'll buy yours when you publish! It's always awesome to meet other authors and to be able to support them.0 -

Um, I published through createspace.com to Amazon for free. There are other sites that do it also. Smashwords is another. If you do the research, it's out there. No software required to format.0 -
Working on an adult Vampire trilogy. And I mean adult as in non-Twilight and closer to Bram Stoker's Dracula, updated, of course.0

I was so excited to see this topic!!
This is my dream of all dreams...to become a published author and be able to say "I"m a writer." I have a blog which is what an author told me to do years ago...it's mainly just "day in the life" kind of stuff but it's getting me in the habit of sitting down and making myself do it. I've been away from family most of my adult life so the blog started out just as a way to keep my family and extended family up to date on our adventures. Our life is an adventure!
I love to write non-fiction...I feel like that's where I would do my best and once I get started, I'm never at a loss for words. On my blog, I have a hard time limiting my character count to something that people will actually read...I think if a post is too long people won't bother to read it so I try to keep them short but it never happens. LOL
Anyway...add me if you would PUSH me to write more or if you know what my next steps should be! LOL I have no clue.0 -
I am a writer! And thanks for making this post. It's never occurred to me to look for other writers on here, but totally makes sense. I write mostly poetry, but dabble in short stories and have an off-site blog. I wrote a book once many years ago, but I've never published it. I have ideas for other great ones. Maybe a few writers all my friends list will inspire me more!
Writers, feel free to add me!!! :bigsmile:0 -
Great post!! I'm an author. I've written and published two books with a royalty publisher, Destiny Image. I'm working on my third book. They're all part of a series about a CRAZY two year period that I lived in India with a Hindu guru.
The series is called The Descent Series. Book 1 is Chasing the Avatar and Book 2 is Dancing with the Avatar. I don't have a name for the 3rd book. I'm 375 pages in and have hit a wall. So, I stopped writing until God gives me inspiration again.
And I agree, the writing is the easy thing...promoting is a bear!! It's SUCH work! If only I had known...I don't know if I would've gone on with it. Even with a royalty publisher, it's A LOT of work.
You can check out my books at my website at: http://www.jovanjones.com and also at Barnes and Noble, Amazon- http://www.amazon.com/Jovan-Jones/e/B0050OHUPO/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1342743575&sr=8-1 - and else where.
Thanks for posting this topic!! It's great meeting all these writers!0 -

I'll check it out!
It occurred to me to promote here, but I HATE it. At one point, it took over my life, and I stopped writing altogether for awhile b/c I'd become OCD and kind of pushed my family to the background.
Not the kind of author I want to be.
I'm taking a much more laidback approach to it now.

I have had a few short stories and poems published locally. I'd love to be able to make it a career or at least a side job. It is always enjoyable to do something you love and get paid for it. Best of luck to everyone!0
