Asking For Help From My Blogger Friends

Blogger friends,

I am wondering if any of you have recommendations for blog sites dedicated to posting fiction writing.  Does such a place exist?  I've started chapters in a story that I'd like to find a place to be able to "link up".  Maybe a site that would give prompts that could be used in the story.  I'm a little nervous to branch out in this direction with my writing but I'm feeling so compelled to not let this "moment of fiction clarity" pass.

Thanks for any assistance.

  4. This is great to hear and if you would like I would be willing to critique some of your work if you would like me to. I'm not a grammar guy but I feel I'm good with the general feel of the story. Good Luck to you!

  6. Very discouraged that I just read that anything you post on a personal blog will make it be considered to be Previously Published and therefore make it for difficult to publish. For those of you who have been published how did you get around that or do you just not post your "good" stuff on a blog?

  10. I link to many prompt sites that do fiction on the LINKS page on my blog. Next time you visit, look for LINKS on the Header.

  11. I followed you over from G-man's Flash Fiction. I have just been doing prompts that go along with my writing as teasers. It's challenging and fun. I'm not sure how it will work, but its what I am trying right now. Check it out and see if it's what you might want to do.
