I've been reading up on social networking as a writer and decided I'd give it a try. BlogSpot was recommended to me, so I navigated to it and got a shock. I already had a blog that I started in 2007 and then forgot. So now I'm here again. I hope to discuss writing in general and all those little things they never tell you like don't say "said James", always say "James said". In other words I'll try to address all the silly little things that make you look like a noob to an acquiring editor or agent.

My name is Aelle Ables and I'm a writer. Sounds like a start to an AA meeting, doesn't it. Well, I am addicted to it. I live in North Texas. I write science fiction and fantasy along with a bit of weirdness and a ghost story or two. I'm published, the lastest in Alien Skin e-magazine's September issue. I've just moved from Oklahoma City where I had a critique partner, a writer's group and OWFI (Oklahoma Writer's Federation, Inc.). I'm looking for a good writer's group in the Lewisville, Plano, Frisco area, but they all seem to be on the other side of DFW airport which means a long drive. DFW Writer's Workshop was recommended to me. That's in Euless - a 68 mile drive (roundtrip) once a week. I'm sure its worth the drive, but I'd really like to find a critique partner a little closer to home. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
