stephonavich: Hey you! Yeah, you--the one that hasn't been published. The one that is working your ass off trying to figure it out.

Keep going.

Look at the crap I started writing with and know that now people are paying for my stories. These same stories I'm asking you to help with my grammar, my punctuation or anything you see that might not be good enough.

So keep going. You can do it.
    Joy Graham: Can you put a good word for me with your Agent?
    -
    stephonavich: Lady--I found people who were published and asked them how they did it just like you. They saw my writing and shoved me to a website called AWAI. I took one course--after that I got a job. -
    stephonavich: Joy--I'm freelancing so my Agent is me. Consider good word IN! -


stephonavich: Past few weeks, I've managed to say the wrong thing at the perfect time! Wow, go stephonabitch. All who can please bare with me. I don't mean it!
    another jim: Bare? Did someone say bare? Woohoo! This weekend is getting off to a GREAT start! -
    Stacia Ann: I try to return the favor of my fans, particularly the accomplished ones:) -


stephonavich: Okay, what the hell? All my favorite writers are on hiatus. What's the deal?
    another jim: Think of it as an opportunity to try some of your LEAST favorite writers!

    **waves very self-promotingly and points to his own portfolio**

    ;-D -


stephonavich: Anyone have a cure of the un-inspired reader? I think it makes me way too critical.
    mmichelle97219: When you are uninspired you need to shake things up a bit. Usually what I'll do is pick someone who is a fan of mine and go through there portfolio. You never know what you'll find.

    By the way if shelley starts to be a pest and you really want to annoy her tell her Bon Jovi sucks rocks. -


stephonavich: I'm a ranked reviewer? Does that mean I stink? I'm sorry, I've dealt with a lot of rank stallions. They get whacked. Should I be whacked?


stephonavich: Am I verbose? Should I just accept that I'm a long written wind bag?
    Fleedleflump: There ain't nothin' wrong with verbosity! Those who think description inhibits pace have no imagination. Save the active voice for the newspapers. We write fiction, and we write it how we want ;-) -
    stephonavich: lol, thanks Fleedle! I accept my verbosity, verboseness...lol -


stephonavich: okay, from looking at the reviews, you people are telling me to continue to write erotic fiction? hmmm...I guess that rule applies "write what you know". :)


stephonavich: No joke, I love it when people call me dude (think I'm a guy). I truly don't get offended, why? because I think like a dude. Most my stories are from the dude perspective. Perhaps I have penis envy? Naw... they give me too much pleasure to give them up!
    stephonavich: lol - No Way Border Reiver!? --- Micheal??? -
    stephonavich: ok not Micheal...but really nice to meet ya! I'm a St. Micheal Border Reiver. :) -


stephonavich: Teehee, dang! I can't pull the blonde card on (beginagain) Carol!


stephonavich: Having too much fun writing Triad - luckily, I didn't have to edit chapter 9 much. It will be on time on Tuesday if my connection doesn't get slammed.


stephonavich: Big bad words have made my eye lids heavy...sleeping now.


stephonavich: I am so smart - S M R T, I mean...


stephonavich: Officially addicted to messages, reviews and replies...sigh.
    shelley kaye: welcome to the fanstory addiction club.... you're not alone ;)
    -


stephonavich: Nothing like your editor to waggle her finger and tell you, "You can do better!" Oiy. My response? "Encroachment"
    kelton305: har har har! Oh so true! I am going use this wit my editor :) -


stephonavich: Wow, I have fans! *giggles* :)
    stephonavich: You are welcome! I enjoy your stories, and I have seen so much improvement over just weeks. Keep doing what your doing! -


stephonavich: "Madness" is what I call a "splash". It's a splash of thought that just flows through me and I write it down. Typically many good ideas come from the splash and I indulge on it further. But since "Madness" was a contest entry, I went for insane and experimental. It's shy of 500 words and really not qualified to be in the contest in my opinion, but I wanted to enter something!


stephonavich: I'm ecstatic! Thank you all for such kind reviews. I was in need of fans to tell me I'm on the right track.


stephonavich: Happy New Year all!


stephonavich: Rain in Southern California? I love it! I can see Writing in rain but Riding and Running you say? I've done it all in rain! Bring it!
