Mr. Butcher--WOW!!!!! 2024-02-25T07:38:23Z Comment by DarkXperia A big problem I have with my writing... I am too OCD about it. I want it ALL to be just right or just accurate. It has discouraged me. 2024-02-24T06:14:37Z Comment by DarkXperia Stan is the Man! 2024-02-24T06:13:12Z Comment by DarkXperia Man, I guess I need to find a decent writing course. I have a lot of structure questions that I guess that would answer. I have started a book (series?) but have found it hard to structure it properly. 2024-02-24T06:12:29Z Comment by Candice Lisle Wowsa! This had not occurred to me. Sounds like fun! Thanks! 2024-02-23T16:42:46Z Comment by Candice Lisle Spot on! 2024-02-21T18:15:17Z Comment by DarkXperia Man, I hope I can find my persistence! 2024-02-21T06:13:53Z Comment by DarkXperia What an awesome origin story! 2024-02-21T06:10:33Z Comment by DarkXperia I LOVE The Dresden Files! I've not had many book series that I've just really enjoyed and this, along with The Name of The Wind, has just been amazing. James Marster's version of the audiobooks is also amazing. 2024-02-21T05:25:54Z
