So, I got a new book idea. Uh oh. Need to race to finish this one or I'll have 5 going. No! But this one is good. It's the grand daddy. It'll take me 3 years to write. Thinking about getting a partner for it, a published aquaintence with credentials greater than my own. Hmmmmmmm. Okay, back to my mo...

This line of thinking has me cracking up. I've no idea who would play the characters, and I started this as a screenplay! And, to see each of you talk about a profession makes me realize how undefined my characters are in that way. My story was more of a world creation story (not sci-fi) and so occu...

My entry was part of an overall project that begun many years ago. I know the story and have it outlined. I spun off a short story from it and it now lives in both a script and novel format. I keep going back and forth between them and each time I write the novel, it adds to the screenplay, and each...

Hiya, Soren. I now realize I probably should have bypassed the Weekly Challenge last quarter. I'd planned on quitting at the end of the previous quarter, but the challenge of writing a poem in WHATEVER genre was thrown at me was too much to pass up. I'm glad I did it, though... much was gleaned fro...

I'm done with the exception of one sentence. It's my favorite individual sentence in the entire chapter and I just realized that it makes no sense at all and must be changed or deleted. I can't figure out how to change it. It's important for something else; so I can't delete it without fixing it int...

For the page turner contest, we just need an overview of the storyline, to see whether the promise of the first chapter is going to flow through to the last chapter. A page to page and a half should be fine. Love, Deb Can the synopsis be included at the end of the chapter, or does it need to be typ...

What are my chances of winning if I put one word on every page for 30 pages and make it the best sentence I have ever written? Talk about turning 30 pages with interest, right? 31, it gets futile and dropped, 29, I didn't do enough. 30 seems right. Seriously, I'm working on this and think I'll be re...
