10:58 am	New Day!!! I just got to my local public library. It seems I live here more than at home sometimes. I think it is great that they have T3 connections, so I can get faster thruput on my updates. Anyhow, I was looking for some older authors on the shelves for some reading material for the cold nights, and I thought...why not Joyce Carol Oates. I recently read an article about her writing career, and I guess she is interesting. Of course, I don't dig the chick genre(romance), but I will sacrifice for a good writer. I just finished reading some John Gardner...World according to Garp...what was that about? I am looking right now at her older short stories. I think I might start with High Lonesome, a collection of short stories going back to the 60's. Of course, the Assassins looks good as well. They just don't write new novels like they used to...lol. I got online the other day, looking for some ideas for my Christmas presents. I have a woodcarving knife collection, and I like to do woodcarvings, so I was looking for some books on project ideas. Anyhow, I came across a really good book that was at a bookstore online. The store had no connection to Amazon. com, so I was happy. It seems they carry both new and used books, but they have to ship from the West Coast, so it takes a few days to get here. Anyhow, if you are looking for a decent online store for books, you may want to take a look. They seem to have a good assortment. I think the name of the place is Powell's, and I think they are out of Oregon. That's all for this morning. Current Mood: Busy getting organized (1 Comment |Comment on this)

2:42 am	I just joined this group today, and am excited at networking with other photographers interested in nature photography. I am based out of Columbus, Ohio, and primarily freelance right now, but I am seriously considering photo school and turning professional when I get enough money for the right equipment. I love the outdoors, camping, hiking, and catching animals in their element. I have an album on betterphoto.com, under stevelambertphotography, if you would like to see some of my work. I always love to chat, network, and even critique if interested in some feedback. I also encourage you to check out this place for cheap backdrops and lighting for some of you thinking about a cheap way of getting started. (Comment on this)

4:11 pm	Introductions.... I am an amateur/freelance writer living in Columbus, Ohio. I am saving up all my money to get into a writing program(MFA) somewhere warm like Texas or California. I write mainly short stories right now, working on the technique of writing more than the plot. I am always available to chat, critique someone's work(Not any longer than War and Peace), and give my opinions. My favorite genres are spy fiction, mystery, adventure, and an occasional romance(shhhh...don't tell). I love reading works by John Grisham, James Fenimore Cooper, Zane Grey, Michael Sparks.
