Hi! This is\was the forum where I learned the most from many great folks. Since the original forum folded, I am officially retired. The last incarnation I was merely out of work and too old to find a job in my field, I have moved (due to divorce). I have written five books averaging 180k each, and I'm only halfway there. I hold no degree Let me rephrase that. I have no marketable degree. Mine is in the applied science of photography. Out dated in the digital world. One of the best bits of advice I received here came by a fella who got kicked out but his harsh words woke me up. I bought the book he suggested and his advice proved correct. I've tried other forums over the years but none compare to the advice, banter, and sometimes foolishness of Legendfire.

Welcome back, buster! Heh, yeah, even the members who end up getting banned leave marks behind. I'm glad it was useful in your case. What was the book he recommended?

Hello, nice to meet you! Horray for retirement? It sounds like you're smashing those 180k manuscripts out and proof that you don't need a degree for it though. I completely agree about other forums, so happy to see everyone reuniting here

Raveneye, It's Techniques of the Selling Writer, by Dwight V. Swain. It's an old book but a great one.
