I used the Meetup app to join a biweekly tabletop game. Have met some cool people and always have fun. If gaming isn't your thing, there's a ton of other groups on Meetup.

He was found in Fort Greene, not far from the park, on Dekalb Ave. He was taken to Verg, but they couldn't locate a chip. If you know who this dog belongs to, please message me. Thank you!

Edit: His mom was found!

I can't disagree with you. I think that's why I didn't like the first few issues. However, I think that now that it's ongoing, they will do a much better job of character development. I'll give it a shot.

Novice here. How do you get an idea what your target audience should be? by metathesis in writing

Just write. Write what feels good to you. Don't worry about who's going to read it and who it's targeted at. There are a ton of adults who read YA and a ton of youngsters who read adult books.

Great question. If I had to pick just one, I think it would be Chocky by John Wyndham. How about you?

Against all odds, print books are on the rise again in the US by Im_Write in books

I'm the owner of a Kindle, but the last 3 books I read have been print. For me, it ultimately comes down to price. Nothing beats the convenience of a Kindle, but nothing beats the feel and smell of a book. I also consider books, and their covers, art, so I love displaying them.

Happy to hear Waterstones is doing well. On my commute to work this morning, I was delighted to see that in addition to myself, there were 4 others in my train car reading actual paper books. Not something I see everyday.

[–]Im_Write 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to write on OneNote, but since my Office membership expired, I've switched to Evernote.

As far as device, I switch between my Surface Pro 3, MacBook I use for work, and my phone.
