But you can and it’ll be so incredibly easy even the most tech-fearing writer will be using them with ease by the time they’re done with this class.

Hello! My name's Annicka, I'm an unpublished writer at the moment (but I'd like to change that.) New to the site and forums. Actually, my mom pointed me here lol. She IS a published author. Anyway, I've got a somewhat active Twitter (@AnnickaWrites) and I'll probably be poking around for querying advice soon.

The Highly Productive Creative Writer with Liz Pelletier - Learn the secret to developing new plots, characters and conflicts

Where do the best ideas come from? How do creative geniuses like Steve Jobs, J.K. Rowling, and George R.R. Martin come up with the ideas that change the game completely? And how did they do it to a schedule?

My name is Paulette Noble and I don't (or haven't yet) use a pen name. You can find me on Amazon.com under my actual name. Really. I signed up last spring to take a class with Angela Knight (love her work) and became a premium member this summer for more classes.

I'm on the 5th part of a 5-part series that is called A Virtual Reality. I just finished the first draft and my primary reader/editor is having a pass at it right now. It's the longest work yet at just over 105K words. We're aiming for a December release. My and my husband's work (he's also a writer) are published through Kadythe Publishing.

Oh, you can also find me in the sprint room most evenings when I'm working on a draft.

I have a facebook page that I keep semi-updated and a twitter account that is neglected except at book release time.

If you want to exchange writing or publishing experiences, I'm all ears!
