Did you know that more than 81% of people say that they'd like to write a book? If you have a book inside of you, what better year than 2012 to write and publish it? I'm the author of a few self published books and am planning to write another in 2012.

My goal for this group would be to have it be a place wher …

Are you writing a book or thinking about it? Are you published or wanting to publish? This group is for you if you are a writer at heart, regardless of where you are in your writing career and progress. I'm starting this group because I'm writing a non-fiction book, and I want to create a community of writers who will share their work and critique mine and each other's.

  We are an earthy group of families who homeschool or plan to homeschool in one fashion or another for part or all of our children’s education. Many of us come to this from the perspective of attachment theory or attachment parenting. Homeschool doesn't begin when a child reaches the age for standard public school admission. Home learning starts at birth, perhaps before. And, it continues for a lifetime, though this group is established mainly to support school age kids (from birth to adulthood …

Speculative fiction--which includes science fiction, horror, steampunk, dystopian fiction, and fantasy genres--allows writers of fiction an oppor …
