[close] Welcome to It's Personal: a collective gathering of souls, each equipped with their own thoughts, desires, fears, dreams, and secrets. It’s Personal is an outlet of sorts; a place to rant & rave, a place to create and share, a place to fill with gifs, quotes, poems, writing and things that are…well, for lack of a better term, personal. So have at it, create a thread and fill it with whatever. In this world, you might just find you have more in common with others than you thought.

[close] The finest elements of the human soul can flourish only in the fertile soil of a community. The Irish Rose, like a university, is a community promoting the universality of the human spirit to manifest itself. We stand for the Good in all people. As a wise man once professed "it's the right thing to do."

[close] I made a group like this a while back when I first started my #WeaveAndReadWithMe series on my blog but eventually got rid of it. I decided to bring it back, though! Each month I pick out an audiobook on Librivox.org to listen to, and every other month, I pick an episode of Wishbone and compare said episode to the original inspiration novel. I'd love to have you join in!

[close] 2017 is a year for action. It’s more important than ever that American women try to understand each other in the face of such partisan division, and that we come together in the quest for social justice and equality. That means making calls to your representatives. That means marching for things you care about. That means making your voice heard and lifting each other up. That means educating yourself about experiences outside your own. Reading has been proven to promote empathy and understanding, and we believe that reading broadly is one small step in mending the divides of our nation. The books we will read will encompass a broad range of American experiences; we’ll read about Muslim-Americans, Latinos, African-Americans, LGBTQ+ individuals, undocumented immigrants, white working class women, and more. Because all of these people are American, and all of their stories are American stories. We'll be discussing the books during the last week of the month — so get your copy and get reading now!

[close] Dear Readers, As part of my work with UN Women, I have started reading as many books and essays about equality as I can get my hands on. There is so much amazing stuff out there! Funny, inspiring, sad, thought-provoking, empowering! I’ve been discovering so much that, at times, I’ve felt like my head was about to explode… I decided to start a Feminist book club, as I want to share what I’m learning and hear your thoughts too. The plan is to select and read a book every month, then discuss the work during the month’s last week (to give everyone time to read it!). I will post some questions/quotes to get things started, but I would love for this to grow into an open discussion with and between you all. Whenever possible I hope to have the author, or another prominent voice on the subject, join the conversation. If you fancy it, please join up and participate. Everyone is welcome. I would be honoured! Emma x

[close] In between my veins, a toxic madness survives, And within my heart, a deadly sadness thrives. They say that deep within the inner dwellings of the autumn forest an asylum lies. Once inhabited by the critically insane. The screams of those maddened souls still echo down the abandoned halls, stripped of any sign of life. They say that no one lives there but the spirits of those who spent their last breaths out of touch with the very fabric of reality. They're wrong. One hundred years after the asylum fell out of commission, a man by the name of Edgar Ravewood discovered the asylum. This man was of strange inquiry, and he banded a team of people who searched far and wide for those with unusual abilities, and took them there. After he passed, the asylum fell into the clutches of Blair Lilith Ravenwood, of whom had grown up there. There was an accident, it happened only ten years ago, every supernatural who'd been living there died at the hands of an experiment gone wrong. And Blair, saddened by the mishap, took to experimenting on herself. Eventually the experiments forced her into a state of hysteria, drove her mad, made her believe that there was a threat coming. She continued her father's work, gathering those with mystical powers, building an army to entertain her wild flights of fantasy.

[close] It began long ago, centuries, with three werewolf packs. The Solar, Eclipse, and Lunar. They coexisted warily but peacefully. Until a rogue decided to stir things up. He kidnapped the Solar Alpha's daughter and the Lunar Alpha's son. The reaction was instantaneous. Each pack blamed the Eclipse, who were the only ones with no one missing, and a vicious war broke out. With two on one, the Eclipse pack was crushed. And now, they are no more. With Solar's harsh temper and Lunar's righteous fury at the loss of their Royal, the formerly proud Eclipse Pack was forced into slavery.

[close] I began this group in January 2015 to support fellow indie authors by featuring them on my website blog. Since then it has turned into a great resource of helpful tips, marketing resources, and just overall support for all indie authors. You're welcome to join our group as long as you contribute and are encouraging in your comments. Please note, in order to fully enjoy our group and make it the best Self Publishing Resource that it can be, we ask that you give as much as you take. If you want your books to be read, read other Indie Author books. If you want help, give help in return. This is how Support for Indie Authors can be the Ultimate Self Publishing Resource and Indie Author Support Group. Please take a moment to read through our Read Me Topics under each Folder Category in order to get a better grasp of our guidelines and where you should you post your questions/comments/etc. Thank you all and Welcome to Support for Indie Authors! Don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter by visiting http://www.supportindieauthors.com/subscribe/ Sincerely, Ann Livi Andrews *Riley stole this from GG because everyone asks this question.* Bookwhack: Think about bookwhack as bird droppings. Everyone is having a picnic. The sun is shining. The food is good. The conversation is flowing. Then, suddenly a bird flies down and leaves a dropping, ruining the day for everyone. Bookwhacking is doing the same with your book. Going into threads and dropping your book name or cover or blurb without being invited to do so. You fly over, drop the bomb. and leave. Sometimes you stay to add a short comment but the sole purpose of it is to make people think you actually had something to say. In other words, it's finding any reason to push your book in the face of people who were not expecting it.
