What Group Chat Should I Be In?

[Rica1122]

I need help.
I am currently writing a book & i need to have access to the correct group chat so that i can ask the right question.

like.....Once my book is complete, Where do i go for publishing and editing?

Is it smart to hand write my book out first then type it? or vice versa

what should i do when i have writers block?

Write your book first, in what ever format you find most comfortable, when you do your first edit you can put it into something like MS. word look for local creative writing groups and only when you think it's the finished article, think about publication. I would also get a copy of the latest Artists and writers yearbook. Pretty much a how to guide. The for Dummies series has a number of creative writing books, including writing and publishing a novel.
As for writers block, take a break, then just try mind mapping your ideas revisit it every couple of days, something will click.

Group chat isn't going to be a substitute for proper, experienced help as you can't check out other members credentials.

Thank you soo much for this! You really helped me out.

[rowanwitch]

You are welcome, I am writing a book at the moment, it's very hard, even when you believe your idea is a good one.

I suggest that you pretend you are an AI bot and seek out others who really are. They could probably give you excellent advice. Good luck. :-)

Tend to agree, Atheist.

I quite like AI bots. They are so friendly and polite and don't use 'words' like 'clown' and '5C'. But maybe they'll change when they learn to be more human-like. In fact, some may have already made that 'one step beyond' and 'walk among us', posing as humans.
I'm suddenly scared and suspicious.

Has anyone tried these new AI chat bots?
Do they give good colloquy?

[Rica1122]

you all are such a delight! :)

I really appreciate this.

I am writing a book about my life. There are times when i really just need a break because i am bringig up old memories & feelings.
However I have to complete this.

Rica; How old are you? Have you had an interesting life? I mean one interesting enough to persuade a publisher to invest in you? Can you post a sample of your style? Perhaps the first paragraph of chapter one?

[Rica1122]

I will be posting something very soon! Why the name Athiest? Just curious?

[Atheist]

Rica; Because I'm not just Athie. Not even Athier. I am the Athiest!!
(I loved your misspelling!)
