Have you checked out @thewritersblock ? @rhondak could provide more information, and there are lots of good and experienced authors involved that might be able to offer up some really effective ideas to make your writing more rewarding.
I have really enjoyed the people and ideas I encountered there.
Thank you for the mention, VC! :-) Yes, we all completely get where doctorjohn is coming from with that statement. But we think we've forged through to a better solution for fiction authors, and we're hard at work on that now. By all means, @doctorjohn, please stop by the Block and look around. We'd love to have you.
