Matthew Brown replied to the topic What pages does a good author blog need in the forum General Chat 3 years, 11 months ago
I was thinking about doing some videos about Author Platforms and blogging in general. I’ve lost my voice at the moment but as soon as I can speak again, I’m going to start producing videos in runs of seasons. The next season is Authors, blogging, and social media. Not the final name, just a working title.

Blog: <p>Hello, I have a question about writing. My English teacher keeps telling us that when we are writing our short stories we should be writing for the reader and not for ourselves. I'm not sure if she really means it like that or if she just wants us to keep our writing's effect on the reader in mind, but this seems to go against everything I feel writing is about. What are your thoughts?</p> from
Neil Gaiman in the group Fans of Neil Gaiman 3 years, 11 months agoShe’s right. Sort of. You are writing to be read. It’s not journaling. I imagine a reader who is me, just a me who has never read that story. Sometimes a me of a d […]

Ten signs your writing group is bad for you, on the groupblog Thanet Creative 3 years, 11 months agoThat sounds horrible. I’m sorry you had such a poor writing group experience. If it is any comfort, I have found that there are as many good groups as poor ones. I truly hope you find a group you can call home.
