BellaMorte - I'll have to take a look at the book. Thanks! Writer's block is the one thing I've never had, but the restof the book deals with things I still need practice with. Lyrra - I can do both. I was thinking of setting up a FAQ with common grammar mistakes, among other things. (And everyone is welcome to submit for that!) I'm trying to see what people want from this forum so everyone feels welcome. jgeorge - the one problem with this forum is that it is geared more towards English language writers. If you put a disclaimer on your story submissions that English isn't your first language, I'm sure that everyone would be glad to focus on other issues. If you post in Italian, we'll do our best, but don't be surprised if you get strange feedback. ;-)
