The whole, "The agent works for ME" thing.<br /><br />Yeah, true in a way, but it's absolutely more of a partnership than anything, just like you said Maprilynne. I just don't see how that relationship can be productive and enjoyable any other way.<br /><br />And yes, I agree, Pat.<br /><br />In fact, about a year ago (or something like that) a couple of the WN members left to start their own Board.<br /><br />It's a private board, by invite only, and is not Googleable (which I appreciate as I get close to becoming published).<br /><br />We have several published authors over them (at least one you'd definitely recognize) and it's very mellow and low-key.<br /><br />On the down side (and I'm just bein' honest here!), there's VERY LITTLE challenging debate, but the upside is that it's a real safe haven, a place to chill and enjoy the company of other writers. It's very safe - people post photos of their kids, post their work in the Works in Progress forum, etc.<br /><br />And there are plenty of "other" sites you can go to if you're in the mood for heated debate!<br /><br />Anyway, if either or both of you would be interested in taking a look, email me and I'll have our administrator email you a link and password.Michelle Zinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127978024081928639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27889919.post-47158437482337051922007-01-14T02:23:00.000-07:002007-01-14T02:23:00.000-07:00I emailed you -

Don't rock the boat; you'll be sorry."<br />Jodi and I have had a very casual relationship and I felt very comfortable asking her every question I listed. <br />And I'm not apologizing for that!;)<br /><br />MaprilynneAprilynne Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17542901402256938872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27889919.post-90899458694006601842007-01-13T22:27:00.000-07:002007-01-13T22:27:00.000-07:00All right.
