Weekly Fiction Works-In-Progress Diary - Open Community Thread for 9/12/24 [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-09-12 At the top of those comments, use the header format button to embiggen the title of the work in progress from which your material comes, so readers can find it from week to week. If you would like feedback, be sure to say so in bold (the format button next to H). Readers, please ensure your feedback is constructive (this does not mean it has to be only positive, but it should always be actionable and sincere advice; e.g. compare “this protagonist is terrible” vs “I didn’t feel a connection to your protagonist”) and limit it to writers who request it. Writers, please ensure you are comfortable receiving feedback and commentary before requesting it in your post. Together we can keep this a positive place to share our work, our progress, and indulge in our hobby. A WORD OF WARNING Many publishers and agents won’t accept a manuscript that’s been publicly available online in part or in whole, because of risk of getting sued for copyright infringement by someone ripping off your work there and claiming it as his own. So, if you hope to sell it professionally, you probably don’t want to post it in DK. If you plan on self-publishing, that risk is only to you. If you don’t plan to publish it anywhere else, then it’s probably no concern at all. Click on any of the Readers & Book Lovers tags at the foot of each published diary in this series to reach our shared host-group and find today’s WriteOn series post. Writers participating regularly are encouraged to share in posting these diaries.
