alright, give me a sec

The site seems helpful enough btw, nice one, I'll bookmark it

oh, I sent you an email about it! check it out

For me, that doesn't work, not as a reader and definitely not as a writer. I want nothing to do with mundane, every day people - life itself is mundane enough. I write and read fantasy to escape from the world as it is. That being said, I've enjoyed stories where the ordinary person is thrown...

lol it seems I forgot to clean up some notes I'd made in the document :D I like to leave sentences in the middle of nowhere of scenes or paragraphs that I want to write there and then forget them entirely

Brent Week's Beyond the Shadows trilogy I'll stay far, far away from those. My uncle bought them to me as a gift. I really tried hard to like at least the first one; my uncle would be sad if I told him he got me books that I thought were shit. It got to the point where it was unreadable. The...

there's no right way to do things, is what I know. It differs from person to person. That formula may work for some people, for others it won't if you fancy anything of the sort though, I suggest trying it out

I'd think there's a fine line between "always making it worse" and just doing your best to write a realistic story. Martin himself has said that what can be found in ASOIAF "pales in comparison" to what can be found in a history book. His story feels natural, it's a story from life, events from...

Hey, Reilith and Ben, thanks for replying. I would be interested in a writing circle, but I'd like to get to know you first :D

Thanks for the responses kind people :D I requested a name change, it should be fine from now on

I read the article, it shows an interesting result. I've found that there are readers who mind spoilers, and readers who don't. Having worked as game master on a forum roleplay, I know exactly what it's like to have those two kinds of people as readers, the ones who analyze every word they...

Click to see my profile right now; I bet you can't. It says: "This user has not registered and therefore does not have a profile to view." A fellow user of the site suggested that the solution may be found within my General Settings, but I couldn't figure them out even if I wanted to, because...

Hi, I'm a fan of the fantasy genre, especially traditional fantasy, and have plans to write a number of stories on a universe that I've created, which may evolve into a book. I have been exercising my writing muscles, so to speak, for a few years now, and I wish to make it my profession. I take...

I like to keep the unusual in my worlds rare enough. I dislike settings in which it's openly paraded daily; it loses its magic, so to speak, if it's very common.

Thank you all! Nice to be here
