To Kathleen Dale: I entered Denver Fiction Writers for the first time tonight and just read a few of your articles on this site. I would like to know more about DFW and intend to drop into the Riverpoint Panera Bread facility tomorrow night to get acquainted.

I am retired and have taken most of Arapahoe Community College’s writing courses under instructors, Chris Ransick, Kathy Winograd, and Josie Mills. I am also a member of Lighthouse Writers and took Doug Kurtz’s Intermediate Novel Writing workshop this spring.

I have created my own poetry chap book and self-published it. Now I am working on short stories and a personal narrative or, I guess it could be called a memoir, a slice of my life in the 70s. I have a very large project, a novel set in ancient Christianity which presently is like a large boat anchor chained to my ankle.

So there it is. That is some of what I do.

Hope to meet you and thanks for the interesting discussions on the money one should not spend for paid critiques and consultants “with connections.” I have a friend that spent $10,000 on a screenplay he wrote to get it to the “right” people.

Later,

Dave Stover

Feelings are mutual, I’m not well-organized too… And cannot finish my next book the Opposite Of Magic as i have a lot of work to do promoting my 1st… Does it happened to you too?
And I’d like to use the opportunity to warn any author never to use the services of literary agents who want to charge an author for editing of the manuscript (like Jillanne Kimble for example)! they are cheaters and will do nothing more than change of some commas and a few words, but won’t look for a publisher, which is their job actually!
Best wishes to all authors! Let the wonderful noise of the sea always sounds in your ears! (a greeting of the water dragons’ hunters).

I’ll be glad to read this book! I’ve heard that the good stories for kids are such that adults could read them too… It looks like this is exactly such kind of a story, I strive for that in my stories too, so I guess the author and me could be good friends! Thanks for sharing! Let the wonderful noise of the sea always sounds in your ears! (a greeting of the water dragons’hunters – my 1st tale Of the Rock Pieces).
