When you have ideas, Andrew, write them down immediately in a notebook you can put aside, in a drawer so you won't forget.

Writing takes dedication, discipline and a strong lust for the venue.
I'm a writer and I've had many people tell me, "If I only had the time I'd write a book"...
No, they wouldn't. Writing isn't an 'easy' job contrary to what a lot of my friends think.
Yet for me it's a pleasure and the most demanding job I will ever have.

Hi Ghost! Are you a "Ghostwriter" as well? I like to write myself but mostly poems for now.

Does anybody here have any experience with the Authorhouse web site? They seem to have some interesting resources for authors who want to get published.

None whatsoever.

Me? Ya, I write stuff. I'm writing some fantasy books (watch out for "The Auzii Morai", "The Great Beldynian Saga", "Al Cratogne da Bahnei", and/or anything else written by Rebydus Rites, Sage of Angasta Denos). I get writer's block sometimes, I think. But usually, I can just sit there and type away for hours on end. I think one day, I wrote 5 pages of fine print. I had a story in mind and just wrenched it out of my consience quite easily. I get caught up in the adventure, and translate it to this here screen.

So, Andrew. Let me get this straight. There a lot of things that you have a little to say about, and a few things that you have a lot to say about? Well I don't have any suggestions, since I have no idea how it all really works (Tolkien was famous, but he was an amateur of sorts). Basically, I just write what I feel like writing. Maybe that's what you should do, I don't know. Perhaps people would like it.

I love to write all kinds of things. I am working on several books now at the same time which can get a little overwhelming. I think whatever comes into my head I have to try to write a story about it. I am Writing my best first book called Black Hearts. It's like in the Dark ages only a little bit twisted.

I love writing about stuff that takes place in the year 2224 (I dont know why) but everything is still in castle times and the year does not actually matter, I just like the number for a year.

yea.. this is my first post here. I like to write. I'm not planning to get anything published. I started to write when an idea popped into my head a couple hours ago. Now I discovered that I'm pretty good. I'm gonna post a story on here about a swordsman named Jared. He has dreams that predict the future. All is going well in his life until he has a dream about death. How does that sound? I think it's not bad for my first story, but it is my first story so I don't know what's good and bad.
I'm probably gonna post this story if people like my idea.


EDIT: i just realized this hasnt been posted in for a while... mybad

Sure feel free to go for it. And welcome.

Writing has always been one of my strong points. Though I am not a fan of the traditional essay or report, i prefer to write abstract or poetry.

i like writing. i've got poems and started books over so many years but never seem to finish the books and my poems are all over the place. it would be nice to get some of them published tho
