Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you signed up for SL; I think you'll find a lot of writer-related things to do there. It does take a while to find your way around it, so I hope this blog can help. Also, I plan to add soon a list of helpful websites for newcomers to SL. Glad I found your blog, too -- loved the story behind your name. Joan Hi Plaidearthworm!

I don't know how you found your way to Story Mountain, either, but I'm glad you did! I love your blog, too! Might be Leslye--we've gotten to know each other through other writers' events. Main thing: Don't feel like a fraud! For one thing, you ARE a writer--just look at your blog. For another thing, those who love to read belong with writers as much as writers do--it's a symbiotic relationship where we need each other!! So thanks for joining us and hope to see you often. (By the way, I'm hoping to start a book club at Story Mountain soon where the readers would meet with the author of the current book--sort of like Athena Isle Writers, but with a reading focus instead. I'd love it if that worked out for you to participate in.) Joan Hi JMB! I don’t know how you found your way to Story Mountain, either, but I’m glad you did! I love your blog, too!

I've created an account, but haven't really explored yet, wanted to find out more info, and your blog is wonderful! BTW, try again on that article idea, I think a lot of writers could learn from it.

Fantastic! I love reading your entries. Not only to they dredge up horrible memories of my newbie days in SL, but I still learn new things from them. People like you are what makes the writing community in SL the undeniable success it is. Keep up the great work. I quiver with anticipation of each new post! --rich Joan,

We met at Michelle Richmond's talk at Story Mountain lodge. There are so many blogs about SL, mostly about shopping and how to do this or that. So one about the writing life in SL should be interesting. I hope to come back again to the Lodge sometime but Wednesday at noon normally has another RL activity on the go. I don't know how I found your place, since I am not a writer. I think you sent me an IM because of my Blogpower membership but then I noticed Leslye Writer, a SL friend in your group when I joined. We both belong to the UK Guild of Writers in SL. I feel like a bit of a fraud in writers' groups, but enjoy some of the things I attend for that group. Both blogging and now SL have been very interesting experiences for me and I occasionally write about the SL experiences on my blog. I have a draft post on the go about meeting Michelle which I hope to post soon. regards jmb (another Joan) jmb balogh in SL <abbr><em>jmbs last blog post..<a href="http://nobodyimportant-jmb.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-does-world-view-us-elections.html" rel="">How does the World View the US Presidential Elections?</a></em></abbr> Interesting story Joan or Alas.
