Amanda,
While browsing through the tabs and under LW Share Stories, I do not see where we can upload our story on that page. Shouldn’t there be a box where we can do this on the page? Can we upload 2-3 weeks before the last Tuesday of the month when things are due? Thanks.
Thanks for the heads up, Norma. I added comments to the Share Stories page, so you should be able to upload your story now. We may split the uploads into separate pages by month, but you can upload your story any time.
I just sent email. Having major problem getting into this site. When I think I am in and click on a box, I am thrown back to sign in. Do we use same User Name and passcode for Writing Your Life and Life Writer. I have established separate but maybe this is the problem. HELP Ada
Norma, Amanda helped me. I needed to clear history. I had done and redone and my computer was confused. I laughed. Of course my computer is confused—-it is MY computer. Join the family😎
I have several questions. I ordered the book in large print so all my page numbers do not match Patricia’s but reading schedule shows 34 chapters I have 39????
I also have random words and sentences that are in bold type. Does your book also have this??
I’m not really big on description after reading the first 2 chapters I was not sure I would make through the entire book. But the more I read the book the better it got. The interview with the author said she wrote each chapter as a short story and that helped me understand.
Hi, Becky. I see what happened. I put chapter 34, about the the author. I should have put chapter 34 through about the author. I have forty chapters in my copy as well. A couple of them have different names, which is interesting.
I have not a clue why yours might have bold text. I don’t remember seeing any as I read the book, and bold is not usually found in published books.
I’m glad you gave the book some more time. I think you will end up liking it a lot.
Hi Amanda and Patricia. I was using the tracker and noticed that I could not enter any time in minutes. I do not always get to 1 hour increments. Also, minutes count. I’d like to be honest and accurate. If I am doing something on my part let me know. Thanks for all your help!
Thanks for the heads-up, Jennifer. I fixed the spreadsheet, but you’ll need to round your time to the nearest fifteen minutes and add it as portions of an hour, e.g., .25, .5, .75. I appreciate you letting us know.
Amanda, First, thank you for restoring my missing story. Second, please share the reasoning behind the group story pages. I can understand posting the group stories together; however, it seems as though all members of the Life Writers’ will miss the cross fertilization of all submitted stories. I would like to read stories from the other groups as well. It would be time consuming to access each group in order to do this.What is the limitation of placing all stories together in one place? We would then publish our replies as we wish. This method seemed to work well previously. Thanks.
Amanda, today (Nov.9), I tried to use the Print Form Button on the Story Review Form but nothing happened. Please check to make sure it is working OK. Thanks. Norma
Patricia,
Thank you for the great video clip. I sure appreciate your enthusiasm, knowledge and teaching style. Slowly but surely I will improve my story telling with more creative ways of describing color to paint a picture.~ KMD
I still haven’t figured out how to post my stories, nor have I found other people’s stories. I’m a slow learner when it comes to certain things—-especially computers. Jackie Raymond
Hi, Jackie. We’ve added some short videos on the Tools and Resources page to show how to convert Word documents to .PDFs and how to upload your .PDF to the comments section on either the Forum or your buddy group Stories page. Hope that helps. Let us know if you need extra support.
Patricia at our meeting, one on one, we worked on a story about my dog and I digging a hole under my back yard and escaping. it was posted to my group. I can’t find it. Can you help me? Jackie Raymond

Ada, I set up a separate user name and pass code for Life Writer. That way there is no confusion.

Amanda-Are we allowed to give more definitive feedback to writers not in our own group?
