Furry Writers' Guild Forum

I'm Terrible at Forums...

Introductions
#1

…but I like to be involved :smiley: Anyway. Since my current novels are all animal characters, I’m hoping to make the rounds and get to know some more animal/furry/fantasy writer friends! I’m CopperGryfon on FA, ElementalJess on DA and JE_Owen on Twitter. I’d like to be involved in the forums and talk shop with people but sometimes I have trouble keeping up. If I fall off the planet, give me a nudge on another site and I’ll pop back up. Heh… yees.

I write YA fantasy and in 2012 jumped into self publishing with the help of Kickstarter, and put out my first novel, Song of the Summer King. Just brought out the sequel aaaaaand I’m working on the third.

But enough about me.

Perusing around the forums…and looking forward to getting to know you guys! ^____^

Welcome! I guess my recommendation to check the forums out was a bit late, then. ;D

#3

Hi and welcome! :slight_smile: If I recall, your first book is currently buried on my Kindle among several hundred others, but I’ll have to bump it up a few places on my to-read list. XD

#4

Aw sweet Ms. Tigress thank you! I just sent you a request for a review copy of one of yours… ():smiley:

#5

Or I missed it :smiley: Heh… I’m just starting to reach out to other furry/animal/etc writers :smiley: I need all the help I can get. I tried the Twitter on your profile, but the link doesn’t work. Do you have a new one? :smiley:

#6

Ah yeah, I changed my handle. :slight_smile:

#7

Welcome to the forums! Enjoy yourself and don’t let Mars scare you off.

#8

Ha! Thanks :wink: Fortunately I don’t scare too easily. That Montana bloodline and all. Or something…

#9

That’s where I am in my writing right now, too. I’m finding it much harder to get into the third than I did with the second. How’s it going for you?

And, like Poetigress, I believe I have your e-book on my phone, vying with all the other books that I want to find time to read.

Welcome to the forums!

#10

Thank you :smiley:
I had trouble getting into the third at first. I had to scrap it and start again. I realized all my chars were thinking too much about what they needed to do instead of doing it. So . . . I just pushed them ahead and started throwing in as much conflict as I could :smiley: So far so good, it’s just about finding time between day jobs now… good luck to you!

Welcome to the forums!

Thank you :smiley: Glad to be here.

#15

Oh my! I’m a little late to the welcome party! But that’s okay… because I brought cake!

Welcome to the forums! And yeah, don’t let Mars scare you off. He likes to think he’s quite the lady’s man, isn’t that right Mars?

#16

OOOoooo Cake!

Also, not to be a N00b (do we use that word anymore? :frowning: ) But is there a way I can make the threads show Newest > Oldest? I’m backward like that.

#17

Click Profile (link on the top) --> Hover over Modify Profile and click Look and Layout --> There’s a check box most of the way down that says “Show most recent posts at the top”. Click that and save.

#18

My hero :)))

#19

Welcome from me too! Children’s/YA is an interest of mine but I haven’t succeeded in getting anything published in that area, so kudos to you ^.^
