On the plus side, they do good fiction… if you can suspend disbelief for a bit.

On the minus side, they want you to send all your money to “the Old Country”.

Oh, I so want in, Laz...if you'd allow me such an honor.

I have a few efforts out there...writing about recovering from life's biggest traumas.

I am also an author. Have learned the wealth of knowledge here on Free Republic. Been around for a few decades.

Really looking forward to seeing how we can help each other here.

I am retired from writing, although I have published seven fast paced action/adventure novels under my “W.W. Brock” penname in the few years that I was gone from Free Republic. It would be nice to be able to encourage other writers if a slot is open.

What is the initiation process?

It is very complex and expensive.

(1) Write something.

(2) Share what you'd like feedback on.

OK, so not really that complex or expensive.

We'd also like your feedback on what other authors share.

I do not know if this would count as "real" writing, but I came up with an idea for a humor comic strip, came up with 120 ideas, and fleshed out over 50 with full daily and Sunday scripts. The problem is, I cannot draw well enough to match the material.

I have been looking for an artist to help create the script, and then submit to a distributor. Old school. I know. I also know that newspapers "are dying". But I believe there is always a market for a good comic strip. While there are a couple of successful web strips (xkcd.com comes to mind), my work was made with the discipline of a 3-4 panel daily and an 8-10 panel Sunday, in the "gag a day" format in mind. The strip is not political.
