• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I got my first Rejection letter.* Now, I'm gonna send out more querys, and hopefully one of them will end up being returned as a YES.

*Not rejoicing that I was turned down, rather it is a "rite of passage" if you will, for writers.

Thanks. I've got two more envelopes sitting on my desk right now (four if you count the SASEs) ready to go except for stamps. Which, I might add, are horribly expensive, especially when you buy lots of them.

Does anyone know any way to get them at a discount?

I don't know about discounts, but I just wanted to say congrats. It's also wonderful that you are approaching this with a positive attitude, which will reflect in your life and your writing! We all get turned down at some point, use it to your advantage, as you are, and don't let it tear you down.

Some of the most famous books were turned down initially! Just think - the people who turned you down will be kicking themselves in a few years time!!
