Patricia0129: Ok I have written something but not yet released it can I somehow enter the contest from there without completely re-typing it? In my portfolio in preview mode.???
    nor84: First, reserve a place in the contest. Then, click on "My Menu" at the upper right of your screen. Click on "My Contests" in the pulldown and enter it that way. That's the only way you can enter the contest as far as I know. -
    Patricia0129: Nope will not let me pull it even though its not released. ?? I will hold off... Brooke might can rescue me!!! -
    nor84: You can also click on "contact us" at the top of this screen and tell site administration about the problem. They're likely able to help. -


Patricia0129: If I wanted to publish.... am I allowed to use the art work Ive used from Fan Art site as long as I give that artist credit. I would probably only publish enough to hand out to family members???
    adewpearl: I don't think you have any rights to that art outside of that site. If you only plan to print your own work to hand out as gifts, I would PM the artist to ask permission. -


Patricia0129: Nov 2013 membership renewed. Xo


Patricia0129: Missing you all terribly!!!! My writing is suffering. :( New job has me in lockdown pretty much. Keep the faith, keep writing. xo
    11:17: Hope your doing well. I am so much happier than I was this time last year! Freedom! -
    gregory john: Patti, I enjoyed your writing.
    The relationship between a sculptor and sculpture is definitely two way and dynamic. I call one of my sculptures True Alchemy, because we breath life into lifeless elements through our creativity in the same way a writer does with words.
    Your obviously very creative so keep following your heart without fear of judgement from anyone. Tk care Gregory -


Patricia0129: I have taken a new job... it will limit my access to the internet...so that mean..less time to write for me. This makes me sad..but I will be off and on.


Patricia0129: Is there a way to post something anonomously if you wanted too??
    Patricia0129: Well I have a few pieces that aren't my ususal stuff...and I guess I'm affaid I would offend my fans???? Is that silly? -
    Ankh: Post anything you like. :-)~ -
    SoldierPoet: If you post something different then what you would normally write, just mention it in your author's notes, so they realize what you were trying to do. I did that with a couple of mine. -
    kiwigirl2821: Patricia, good grief girlfriend just write...who gives a rat's bahoony ... we all go through phases and need to vent...some of us (was thinking ME) use the writing as a way to clear thoughts and ideas that come to us...You write brilliantly and should never be nervous ... if you are getting real wild simply put in the 1st set of notes "don't read if ... offends" that way people can choose. I notice that some of the steamier stuff I write gets heaps of views and so so reviews ... I think well damn, obviously I didn't get that one quite right but then I end up thinking who cares it is what I needed to say...so go for it. You have my support and friendship always...sending huggs and by the way stop working so hard! xoxo -


Patricia0129: Could someone please hook the jumper-cables up to my brain.... stuck in Blahville. No words come.... Not liking it.
    Laurie Clayton: Charging to 200joules...CLEAR! gudumph!

    CLEAR! Gudumph!

    Ok I think we've got a synapse jump! -
    Jotting Pen: For me, the best way out of writers block is to read something I disagree with. By the time I've finished giving the book my opinion, the words are flowing. -


Patricia0129: I have missed you all. I have been out on Jury duty for the last week. Hope to be back in the swing of things soon!! Mucho Amor mi amigos...LOL
    another jim: So...did you give the guilty SOB a fair trial? ;-D -


Patricia0129: Having writers block!!! Not liking it.!!! Stuff in my head but all jumbled up... maybe just jot it down and make something of it later. :)
    Patricia0129: made something out of the jots...LOL!!! works everytime. xo -


Patricia0129: I need more time to think and write... Need to plant money tree...so no more work. LOL
    Jotting Pen: Oh yes! Plant one for me, I have black thumbs. -


Patricia0129: it is now the 20th of March and nothing new is posted---show some artistic fire Girl!! Don't cry because it's over--Laugh because it happened---Your FREE!!


Patricia0129: Is there a best time to promote a piece? Morning vs night etc.... Monday vs Wednesday?...
    redrider6612: avoid weekends, things slow down Fri night through Sunday night -
    JeJo: Monday/Tuesday late morning/afternoon is a fairly good time I believe... -


Patricia0129: This place is addictive... I have to get off of here and get some work done around my house... Ya'll hold down the fort while I'm gone ;)
    teacherdub: FS is definitely addictive. It is a good addiction as we learn from being hooked on it. -


Patricia0129: Happy Thanksgiving ALL!!! ;)


Patricia0129: I'm taking a small break (week or so) I will see you all soon. Keep the faith write your hearts out. ;)
