The most unique book writing group you’ll find online

Are you serious about improving your writing? Do you want to become a better storyteller? Are you serious about making a living with your writing? Join my new [and quite different] writing group on Facebook!

Add me here: http://ift.tt/1MPAZU8 then send me a message and let me know you’d like to join. Below is the description that I made. Please read it thoroughly to decide if it’s right for you.

Editors and Writers are welcome. The rules are enforced to keep this a working and stable environment. Read below to participate. You’re welcome to invite friends. Be sure they know these rules to see if this group is a fit for them.

What this group IS:

A private place to exchange ideas or bounce ideas off other people who can offer their thoughts to help you with your own. Sometimes we just need someone to talk with to spark our brain.
A place where we can post nothing more than our word count for the day and have other writers encourage us. (This isn’t an obligation – if you don’t write every day, don’t worry. It’s just something that the group offers if you want to take advantage for the days you write.)
A place to have help with a certain scene/line/passage that you can’t get right and need thoughts on.
Help with synopsis, covers, anything that you deal with as a writer/editor. Even marketing and website help.
Pretty much anything support-wise or help-wise goes. Grammar help even.
ALL genre are welcome.
A place where we give blunt and constructive advice if asked for it.
A place where we know that we each have to honor and respect an individual author’s voice so give advice, but it’s up to each person to take what feels right and discard the rest.
You’re welcome to share links that are writing related help, or an article that you come across which you think will benefit group members.

What this group is NOT:

There is NO obligation to like one another’s page (there is a member document where you can list your links and then it’s up to each of us if we want to friend/follow).
There is NO spamming the group with buy my book links.
There is NO promotion of any kind, but you can ask for help if you’re having a promotion and would like to know what others have done that have worked for them.
There is NO “you have to share my book for sale” posts.
There is NO joining and never participating. THIS I will enforce. (We’ll figure out a decent amount of time as we go on.)
There is NO marketing to one another. This is support first, not a gain numbers/customers group.

Question any of these rules to see if this fits for you. I’ll explain any of them.

In this group, we are a TEAM. Which means all opinions are welcome, all thoughts, question everything I say. The biggest rule I have is the participation. I want to see everyone participating. There will be no slackers in this group. That is why we are unique.

We are different. Hence the name: Rebel Word Slingers. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to be different. We don’t have to be great. We simply have to find out what’s unique about us and develop that. Then we will stand out from the crowd. Then we will become better writers and we will grow.

Ladies and Gentlemen….

Normally, right about now, I would feel inclined to continue with “and children of all ages” (guess I’ve been to the circus just one time too many) but this time instead of introducing some dancing bears or the Flying Wallendas, I’m simply here to introduce myself. My name is Tracie Dee . I’ve been writing for about 4 years now and got my start blogging on MySpace. I love writing but these days, I’m also finding enjoyment with vlogging. I have found that videos are a nice way to share what words alone might not give justice to and also for people to really get to know the person behind the words and the keyboard. Overall, I consider myself to be a pretty down to earth and upbeat person, whose sense of humor can be a bit wacky at times. Hey, life can be rough and sometimes laughter and levity can be our only saving grace to help us get through it all. I consider it to be our very own little light at the end of the tunnel that serves to remind us that even during the very worst

Bucket Lists

"Its never too late to be what you might have been" – George Eliot I’ve been a late bloomer in pretty much every aspect of my life. Some of it was out of my control (I mean I really couldn’t help if Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor and exercised it heavily on me during my teens and twenties) but I can’t put all of the blame for it on her, either. Some of it was also by my personal choice. And by that, I mean I used to be very shy and afraid of “what was out there” in the big, scary world so I would rarely try anything new or took any chances of any kind. I chose instead to do my best to hide away from life, tucking myself away from it safely like a tight little rosebud that had not yet bloomed. But there is a quote that says “And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” This was the case for me. As time went on, my rosebud shell grew more and more uncomfortable for me. So one day I just took a c

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's GBE is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me. That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even. She said: "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life." Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works. A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w
