About this here blog...




*This page was originally posted on 2/25/2014 and updated on 2/22/2015 when the blog was revamped.


Hi there, again!

Below are a few points of necessity in regards to the operations of this *blog.

Purpose
I started Girl Gone Writer! to share my experiences as an aspiring novelist who works full time in a non-writing related field. Can I get stats on how many people successfully accomplish such a lofty goal??? I’ll also post a few TV series/ book reviews. See there, I give out goodies too. :)

Content
Most of the content on this blog will be about the dreamer tyro-to-published-author process, weekly inspirational posts and a few spotlight topics. 

Focus
I am seriously obsessed with good stories that feature major characters from marginalized groups especially women and people of color. Naturally, I will chat up work that features such point of views here on the blog. However, there may be some general posts from time to time. No guarantees. 

Disclaimer
I use words loosely. Let me clarify. I am (usually) not reckless with my wording but I have no problem generalizing ideas to capture diverse concepts i.e. I may place the word girl in a sentence referencing the universal feminine spirit but not in a moment where woman is needed as a measure of decency. I may call someone a friend, because I enjoy their work, yet I have never spoken to them. Okay the latter is a tad creepy, but I hope you all catch my drift aka let’s not take every word so seriously. This will be as fun of a blog as I can muster up.


Comments
As of today the comments section is open to all without moderation. I welcome responses from various schools of thoughts so long as they are written with the intent of edification not destruction. Ha, that was a funny little idealistic moment, was it not?  I have been on these net(s) way too long to expect even 60% civility. We’ll see how it goes.

Following and Updates
If you want updates on Girl Gone Writer! around the world wide web, I have my Twitter and Google +1 buttons added to the blog. I also think there may be a Pin option as well. Eventually, I plan to add a Facebook liker. Lastly, I am tvernay on Tumblr. There. That covers several social media connections. If you are sort of old fashioned like me, you can always subscribe to the blog feed and/or contact me via email at tvernaywrites@gmail.com with questions. Once again keep it kosher. Please and thanks. Otherwise, leave a comment for on-air discussion. Thank you!

Dues
As with most blogs, if you like something written here, it is okay to copy parts of it with reference to me and an active link back to Girl Gone Writer!. Please do not copy more than half the post.
I appreciate your consideration in advance.

That’s about it. Surely it was enough, no?

Now, to the fun stuff. :)

And we’s writin’!
~T.
