The Imaginary Word
February 2008


I can't believe it's already 2008! I still don't know where last year went, how fast it flew by. My baby isn't so little anymore and my oldest, he's even more grown then he was. I just don't know how it has all gone by so fast! This month, most of my work has been done for me. But I have a few things to add, things that got overlooked for whatever reason.

In any case, here is the first quarterly IW.

From Our Sponsors
The Imaginary Word is sponsored by Better Fiction, an online writer's workshop and community dedicated to seeing its members succeed.

The Imaginary Word is also sponsored by Totally Novel:

"You should have seen the way they cried out for blood. I frequent the boards at a popular SF&F magazine, and the occasional spam left by self-published authors trying to sell their books always provoked drastic responses. For me, it signaled a sparsity of opportunities for independant writers to market their books. Totally Novel is trying to change that." - Wade Ogletree, Founder of Totally Novel.
