4 years and counting!

on Jan 12, 2010 in Our Members, Writing

I figured someone ought to make a note of the auspici momentu propitio um.

Right. We try that again!

Happy 4th Birthday, PC!

It's been a while!

 

I'm going to quote Debora here, because, well… :)

On January 7th 2006 we started the PC Yahoo group – but Jennifer, Cyn and I had been crit partners for a while before that!  I believe before the year was out we had moved to a free forum with this one hot on it's heels!
Wow, ladies…
Thanks for the support, the good times, the laughs and the professional guidance!
I count you as some of my closest friends.

Gosh, Deb, guess what? We feel the same way. :)

Some of us have been here from the beginning, some almost from the beginning, some took a break and came back, some never left, some have been around a while now, some just joined.

We are currently up to 18 members (ergo, applications are closed) and our last four new victims recruits are still finding their feet, but we're all in it for one thing:

Cake!

Err. Wait. No. That's not it.

Cake fights!

Ok. Maybe not.

Hunks!

 

Okay.

All kidding aside…

We're all about books, writing, publishing, critting and most of all — we support each other.
(Unless there's a hunk around. Then all bets are off and it's every woman for herself. :P )

Happy Birthday, PC!

One lump or two?

on Sep 4, 2009 in Life

Yeah, right. I’m not talking about sugar in coffee.
I am talking about how many spaces should follow a period at the end of a sentence.

There appears to be this great big misconception that it’s two spaces after a period.
It used to be two spaces.
It changed.

How much is too much?

on May 26, 2009 in Writing

I used to read plenty of historicals, back in the day.
Most had the same theme, almost all of them featured a hero who pretty forcefully bedded the heroine, who then fell madly in love with him.
*insert eyeroll*
I once thought that was how romance had to be written.
So, how much is too much?
Let me give you [...]

What makes a book a keeper?

on May 7, 2009 in Writing

We all have them.
The Keepers.
The books we will read again and again, the ones we guard with our lives, will never lend out and the ones we want to take to the grave with us.
But how to define a keeper?
What makes a book a keeper?
Is it the story? The characters? The writing style?
Sometimes one of [...]

The End — Now what?

on Feb 28, 2009 in Bragging Rights, Writing

Here I am, having typed "THE END" about 20 minutes ago…
I should be ecstatic. I should be on a total high.
Yeah.
I’m completely lost now.
I can’t quite sit down and read through all of the manuscript yet, I can’t quite get started on editing it (Which will look very much like the page above…) and I [...]
