I don't want the poor soul working in the nursing home to have to see a heart tattoo that has morphed into something roughly the size and shape of a deflated beach ball.<br /><br />As for theme, etc., I think I've found some patterns in my stories. I tend to have at least one cynical, world-weary main character. I come back to C.J.

One of my chapter buddies just attended the Rocky Mountain Writer's Conference and said one of the publishers was talking about the importance of tagging, esp. if you're a hybrid writer (traditionally pubbed and indie pubbed). Might be a good topic for a future post!Niki Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419436634375255412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-72734481721427972802014-09-29T12:39:39.230-04:002014-09-29T12:39:39.230-04:00I'm really working on accentuating the positiv...I'm really working on accentuating the positive these days! :)<br /><br />We are a prologue chapter because we aren't an official ACFW chapter yet... must add more members before we can file to become a chapter, from what I understand.Niki Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419436634375255412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-67814446849915877962014-09-29T12:10:19.695-04:002014-09-29T12:10:19.695-04:00And yes, I do have a media kit on my website under...And yes, I do have a media kit on my website under the ABOUT ME tab, although I call it a PRESS KIT on the advice of a workshop I once attended.

A good resource for all. and I like how you called it an 'opportunity' rather than a burden. <br /><br />so... why does your group call itself a prologue chapter?<br />Debra E.
