Erin – Thank you so much for speaking to us. I started writing late in life. I’ve always had stories running around in my head. It all started with the Twilight saga. I went to the authors page and she had a list of websites and message boards to talk about the books. That is where I found fanfiction as well as some other sites. I dove in and have 3 wip’s started there as well as another site. I may give wattpad a go because I know a lot of fanfiction writers also post stories there.
Your information was great and I did take some notes and joined one of the web sites mentioned. So thank you very much on your insight on things. I would love to talk to you more on one of the sites you mentioned.
Hi Erin, thank you for all the information in your talk. A lot of checking out to do to get that story in my head finally out.
