There's a discussion area in the top quarter of the forum and then there's a Workshop area under Short Stories.
Can you make a subforum for all the "help! I want to write but can't seem to get beyond the first page," threads? I think this would help make the general writing forum more focused on the technical aspects of writing, and allow all those hopeful individuals to congregate in one small spot. I only say this because there's been so many, lately.
Hey people. Just finished with some exams and I am back, I guess. I said I was back a couple of weeks ago but exams took a bit more time out of schedule than I expected. Anyway I will try and be more active from today.
Thanks! I am really glad to be back. So much time gone since I last wrote something, it feels like an eternity. Can't wait to put pen on paper.
Hello chaps and chapettes. After some surreptitious lurking, I'm announcing an official return (I know, I was only gone for a couple of months). The time spent away from the forum has been relatively industrious though and I plan on keeping the procrastination to a minimum moving forward. Hope you're all well.
Well, then. *clears throat* I seem to remember vanishing without a trace about a year ago. Perhaps I'm a flight risk...
Can't make any promises! Nah, I took a break from writing when other life-stuff got in the way, and I'm slowly getting back into it. Fingers crossed
*places heavy luggage on the floor* Hello there! I've been moving around for a couple of months, but I've finally settled down. It feels great to be writing on the forum again! I'm not planning on travelling for the foreseeable future, so I'll be around.
Dropping in for a moment, to say I didn't mean to drop out since last May, but I was foolish enough to promise to write an account of the writers' conference I went to back then, and I just had too much going on to get to it, and it got to feeling like an overdue school assignment, and I just didn't feel like doing it, and I kept putting it off, and then I got embarrassed about putting it off, and then, and then . . . *Feels sheepish* Can not catch up on the Forums tonight, if I expect to be alive for work tomorrow. But I hope to be around. I've missed the place.
Off to get my eyes dilated at the eye doctor and become basically legally blind for the rest of the day! Might not come back here during that time because reading words on a screen will be difficult as hell. But I'll consider it research for a character I have who is legally blind. Will record my findings later when I can actually see where the keyboard is in relation to the forum. Ciao!!
My habit of using the Internet after dinner keeps making it hard for me to sleep well, so I'm going to quit for a while. Back in a week or two.
