| 21 Aug 2009 |  Ray Krisman | Loading... OK so I recognize 3 stories from when I was last here. Um, wow you’re prolific as ever! But I guess you use this site mostly as advertisement and a supply of proof-readers hey? Chris A Jackson replies: "I’ve been so busy lately, I have kind of stopped writing short stuff... I do get good proof readers from my elfwood fans... and they are acknowledged in Scimitar Moon! Really!" | |
| 29 Aug 2009 | Ray Krisman | Loading... OK i wanna ask you two wyverns related stuff: 1) How do I change the text of my profile? I can’t upload stuff till I remove a smiley but I can’t figure out how to edit my profile! 2) I remember I used to copy my stories into notepad and then go thru the entire story putting in HTML tags individually, but towards the end I found out I could just save it in MS Word under a certain format... what was that format? Web? Web filtered? Or something else? I’ve got MS Word 2007 so I want mods to actually be able to open my files... Good to hear you’ve been prolific tho  If you don’t mind me asking, do you make enough money with your books? Enough to live on? Or you still got your day job? Chris A Jackson replies: "Hey, Ray
I do NOT make enough on my writing to live. We’re currently taking some time off work, but I’m not supporting myself with my writing yet... yet....
As to how Wyverns is working, I’m having difficulty with the format myself. I don’t update much any more. I did upload a story not too long ago, and I think I used MS word and saved it as Web. There has to be a tutorial around Elfwood somewhere!
Good luck!" | |
| 5 Oct 2009 | Ray Krisman | Loading... Hey I sent u an e-mail with an idea for a story I have... read it and let me know what u think... Chris A Jackson replies: "I think I already did... Interesting premise. Hope you work the kinks out and get it into print!" | |
| 20 Oct 2009 | Ray Krisman | Loading... Me? Get something into print? That’s nigh on never happening! I just write for fun Chris A Jackson replies: "Why not send it in? " | |
| 7 Dec 2009 |  Christy Miller | Loading... Hi there! I was just wondering how your search for an agent was going. I’ve sent out 15 query letters and all came back as rejections. I just need to try again. Do you have any more tips for me on how to get one? Chris A Jackson replies: "kind of on hiatus on that right now... Not submitting anything. Working on the sequel to Scimitar Moon and the third in the Cornerstones Trilogy, so no real need now. When I start looking for another publisher, I’ll try again.
Advise? Keep trying, but don’t settle for someone who won’t do a good job for you!" | |
| 9 Dec 2009 |  Patricia M. D´Angelo | Loading... I don’t usually try to muster readers for other writer’s, but I found a story that I thought you might enjoy reading.

| 10 Dec 2009 |  Meg Rachor | Loading... I wouldn’t praise if it wasn’t entirely deserved Chris A Jackson replies: "*blush* ;-P" | |
| 15 Dec 2009 | Meg Rachor | Loading... Master Jackson, you know that your work is deserving of high praise I wonder...do you ever hate your writing? | |
| 16 Jan 2010 |  Jeremy Whiteoak | Loading... You, sah, got some great stuff. I seem to remember reading a story about a psychologist interviewing a soldier that was really great. Did that ever get published? | |
