this is a test to see if this works on newbies

Has anyone ever used Grammarly online editing program? How do you like it, if at all?

Is it too late to join this class? I tried too before it started but I couldn't find it listed in the classrooms and events area.

My name is Julie Shelton and I write BDSM erotic romance, some Menage, some straight MF. My first erotic novel, Loving Sarah, was published by Siren Bookstrand on November 28, 2012 and since then I've written and published ten more, both under my name and under the pen name A. J. Steele.

My writing has run the gamut from fairies in the garden at age 9 to handcuffs in the boudoir at age 69. In the years between I managed to graduate cum laude with a B.A. in French from Georgia State University followed by a Master’s Degree in Library Science from Emory University. Having thus procured those two necessary but ultimately irrelevant pieces of paper, I launched a successful career as a children’s librarian, followed by an even more successful career as a professional storyteller and puppeteer. In 1991 I published Kidstuff, an award-winning, monthly newsletter, as well as a book, Puppets, Poems and Songs, both major language arts resource for early childhood educators.

At various points in my life, when asked what I wanted to be, my answer would have been (in rough chronological order, since some of these lofty ambitions overlapped): a fairy, a princess, a ballerina, Nancy Drew, Cherry Ames, a paleontologist, Scarlett O’Hara, thin and beautiful, an actress, and a writer. Now, at age 73, my answer to that question is, “younger”.

Followed closely, of course by bestselling author. Oh, and a princess. Some dreams die hard.
Now retired, I live in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia.

My name is CJ and I'm working on my first Romance Novel. I actually started it about 10 years ago and have finally finished it. It needs some serious polish to it.

this class never sent out any material. Will it start late?

Hello,

My name is Erin, and I am working on my first Romance story. It's a project I've been working on for the past 6 years, and I want to finish soon. I'm hoping I can gain some insight, as well as lots of tips from the pro's.

I received the blog email notice offering info about the: July 11th Mary O'Gara’s workshop: The Feminine Journey. The link on the blog takes me to: Event & Class Registration | SavvyAuthorsbuilding-a-believable-romance-with-kerri-leigh-grady.142/ --or the wrong class. When I tried to go into the SavvyAuthors site and search, I'm given an ACCESS DENIED error.

Hi Friends

I'm an Australian contemporary romance writer and have just joined this fabulous group.

I'm very excited to be a part of this community and will be writing a monthly post about my ten year journey from newbie to self published author.

If you have any questions or issues you'd like me to cover in my posts, please email me at [email protected]

Looking forward to chatting more

Cheers, Joanne

I just joined today and I look forward to getting to know ya'll. I'm a Fantasy, Drama writer looking to make some writing friends. ^_^

SavvyAuthors hit a grand slam in one of its classes! When I saw Kathy Otten's class "The People We Meet" scheduled on the workshop calendar, I jumped to enroll. Her class syllabus sounded so tempting, but I kept my fingers crossed, just in case. I need not have worried. Kathy's techniques for enriching our characters and the plot itself by using body language to convey emotions enabled me to revamp scenes from a very old WIP. I signed up for the course when my writing energy was dead in the water. Kathy's a miracle worker! Her class exercises ignited my creativity. The words flowed. She made me love writing again. If she asked me to sell my first-born to the gypsies, I would! (Although I can imagine the reaction from my 29-year-old daughter when I say, "Pack your bags. You're relocating." Her husband's reaction, too.)

I'm using a bit of silliness because I can't begin to say how much I enjoyed and benefited from Kathy's class. She gave me HOPE, and that is priceless. I am itching to tackle all my WIPs and apply Kathy's writing techniques. Thanks, Kathy! And thanks, SavvyAuthors!

All the best from one extremely satisfied customer,
