Fiction Writing Junkies
Aging hippies like me are a tough crowd when it comes to online marketing. Natural suspicion.
But my Facebook plans have started to take shape, and at the urging of a friend, I started a page this week called "Fiction Writing Junkies," geared toward writing resources and revision / editing advice that you think might benefit fiction writing students, workshoppers, or other writers initiating their own projects.
I posted a few discussion topics so far -- in addition to my own "Author News", which I'll keep updated with appearances and other book-related stuff, we've got:

I posted a few discussion topics so far -- in addition to my own "Author News", which I'll keep updated with appearances and other book-related stuff, we've got:
- Marketing and Promoting Fiction - experiences that you think others might find useful
- Success Stories -- another place to promote your own successes, whether it's publication, agent acceptance, or a breakthrough with your own work
- Memoir Fear - how to tackle stories and characters that are a little close to home
- Workshop Stories -- bound to be funny (I hope -- some of mine are), these are your workshop experiences that you've found valuable or frustrating or quirky
- Tales from Reject Mountain - your rejection stories and frustrations, but without real names so you keep me out of trouble
- Writing Websites and Blogs -- resources for fiction writers that you've found helpful or that you'd like to recommend; I'll post to this as well.

Thanks . . . Here's a site I have found useful: blog.maggiegoins.com. She provides good ideas and links to other writing blogs and forums. I'll be visiting you again soon to see what other resources you have rounded up.
