Any other writers here?

Post Reply New Topic

I am a writer of fiction, mostly short stories, but I do not write nearly as much as I should be. I graduated from Bridgewater State College with a major in English and a writing concentration, but over the course of the last year, I've only been able to write one short story and have taken far too long in gathering the resources needed to research my novel.

It is my life's goal to get some of my work published.

I enjoy writing short stories.

I recently finished the first draft of "Reality's Crusade," the novel I've been writing for the past 2 or so years. Pretty happy about that...

I write everything on that list. Short stories are my favorite to write; it really is the best format. I like poetry as well, and novels are the basis of my work, and they can be fun as well. I've only done free form once. (It's in the Commons on NP)

The list of stuff I plan to write is in my N3\/\/8!3 thread. ('Greetings')

Essays, short stories, poetry, whatever free form comes to mind.

I'm also writing a book about my life's journey with AS up to the time of my formal Dx.

I wrote my first work at age seven... A story about a dog or cat or something wandering around, looking for someone who wanted to be its friend.

Also wrote a lot of short stories and poems and song lyrics, and created a few neighbourhood newspapers when I was a kid.

Since then I've completed but not quite published two novels. The first actually manifested in three different forms: Film script, space opera based on film script, and a completely Earth-based spy novel. I e-published the spy novel version on a computer bulletin board in 1988, and got a "bite" from a query letter but never got it into print.

The second novel was last year's NaNoWriMo entry, written entirely in the month of November 2005. Planning to edit it and shop it to a publisher someday.

I have another e-novel in progress on my website but haven't touched it in months.

And I'm responsible for some of the stranger Dragonlance fan fiction out on the Internet... Primarily top-ten lists and other humour.

I Like writing poetry mostly though i have been working on the editing of a sci-fi novella i wrote. i can't believe how long it takes just to edit 2 or 3 8x11's and i've got 40 of them. anyone else know what i'm talking about.

(Time to quote myself again)

I definatly prefer novel writing the best. The only problem for me would be thickening up a story to make it last longer. I have tried once so far, but with how quickly I was getting through, it seemed more like a short story than a novel.

yeah i write a little i don't know if what my sttle is so i chose other cause i write all kinds of stuff. most of it is unfinished though.

I mostly write a lot of nonsense, frequently that makes a lot of sense.

I have a bazillion ideas for plots lying around. The question I have is how do I go from ideas to writing them out to actually finding someone to publish any book(s)? How expensive of an endeavor is this usually?

I mean, while I am majoring in computer science as I've always wanted to do videogames, I also have secondary interests in book-writing and filmmaking, and these interested I've never fully explored quite yet.

Update on my progress with getting my novels published. I'm still working on finding the right one. I have money that I need just don't have the self publisher.

I do short stories, mostly fitting into one of three categories

1)Random stuff
2)Expressions of outrage
3)Transporting someone into another person.

i get writer's block very frequently.
