  2. Writing For Publication

    I will be entering My Necrosphere story in Black Library’s competition. The prize is the first ten are placed in their next short story book.

    Black Library Industries produce three short story books a year. All three short story books are created out of new writers. Hundreds submit to these competitions held three times a year.

    But been a member of their forum I have spoken with many fellow writers who all know what standard of writing BL requires. So I have decided to enter after the...
  3. Here we go! fight scenes??

    Wow. Just got on and hey presto, BLOGS! Not sure how this will turn out but hey, ya never know huh?!

    I was asked to write about combat scenes and description. Not sure how it will turn out but again, ya never know.

    When I write a fight scene I think probably the best thing to do is get the basic fight manouvres if you have a character that knows martial arts. Research is the best thing if you are involved in writing about something in this world or if you are writing about something...
  4. Avoid being wordy!

    lets look at being wordy, man I'm addicted to blogging, someone should ban me from it. Anyhow. What is being wordy? look at the sentence below

    Johnny hadn't been a good boy, in fact just this morning he had broken all his toys.

    So what can you see? are there words that don't belong? maybe there is a way to make the sentence flow much better. Such as...

    Johnny had been bad. (you're showing the start of the sentence instantly no dilly dally, shilly shally. It's a fact and is plan as...
  5. Another interesting entry, he, he ^_^'

    Well I guess there are other things I should tell my blog. So here I go again talking about myself, he, he. Is it just me or is my head getting bigger. Well now a lot of you don't really know what my game is in the writing forums. What I like is fantasy and scifi. I enjoy writing and have done since I was 14 writing joint stories with my pal DBZ. I started off writing a vampire series. Then learnt my own passion for Nearover (I'll share more later). I'm also a manga artist. Basically my...
  6. Reader, protag connections.

    Hello people who will probably not read this, he, he. I'm nothing special just a member I actually don't even consider myself a senior member and since reviewing seems to be the special topic for now I'm going to talk about it too. I'm not much of a grammatically correct person. My comma's and what not don't always go in the right place. But I can still offer an okay critic. My speciality, reader, protag connection and wordiness. I like to give a pretty thorough critic. My fav hang outs on...
  7. Traveling part 1

    For anyone who's interested here's the first part of a journal I started writing for my Mom. She's posted it already on a board she and my Dad run, and its been posted on another board for seniors.
    I have seven entries so far, and will keep writing them as long as interesting things keep happening. Some of the experiences will also be used in a book I am writing about a few people traveling over seas to work in China.

    Enjoy.

  8. A decision about my zombie stories

    Hello everyone

    This is the writing part of my blog. I'll be posting two types. One will be about my travels in China, the other will focus on writing.
    I already have journal entries about my traveling written up, unfortunately I can't find them, so I'll start posting them up later, when I get them e-mailed back to me by my parents.

    Anyways, on with the writing.
    I had until recently been posting practice horror stories, for free on the net. Just to see what people thought. Most of...

  9. An Interesting Experience

    Several of my friends and myself were at a local festival this evening, when one of them gets the bright idea to climb onto the roof of a local public building. It was just for fun and didn't seem like that big of a deal. He was supposed to go up there, let us a take a picture, and get down.

    That happened, but immediately following, the park police swarmed the place. We had at least three vehicles pull up within ten seconds after he jumped from the roof. The first one came at him boldly,...

  10. Productivity

    I've found that my self-esteem is directly related to how productive I am. At the moment, it's kind of a mixed barrel.

    On one hand, I'm quite proud of myself for finally getting my comic site set up. I've been devoting a lot of my time this week to editing my existing comics and drawing new ones. I hope that I won't lose interest in this project like I have in many other ones, because I think it could be successful if I stick with it.

    On the other hand, I'm unemployed and pretty...
  11. [JDK]; Some Background Information

    Those who know me since I've joined writingforums.org know that I usually keep to song lyrics when posting on these forums. Well, with the addition of blogs on here, I decided that I may use this to post more about [JDK] itself.

    [JDK] actually stands for Juvenile Delinquent Kids, and came from a joke from two summers ago. The name for the band needed to have meaning, so it seemed like a perfect idea to have meaning to us and as a strong sounding name for a band.

    There are a lot of...
  12. Testing!?

    Testing this out...

    Testing...1...2...3. :p

    The new site is pretty snazztastic, pretty cool. YAY!

    I am entering the writing contest. Fabulous timing, because just moments ago I was doing some serious thinking (in the shower no less) about a new story. I was planning on making it a novel, but who knows?

    All beware, because my writing skills are simply fantastic. :p ...Sorta.
  13. Crimson Fist: The Necrosphere

    From somewhere my writing inspiration has returned and I have decided to re-vamp my first crimson fist story.

    In fact I'll proberly re-vamp the four stories.

    The four stories were very hugely popular on a few forums 40konline been the first place i posted them.

    Though they are fan fiction i do enjoy the subject of Warhammer 40,000.

    The first story is the shortest and follows the main character. from been new to his command straight through to his final moments in the fourth...
  14. School

    I am basically going insane waiting to go back to school in January. I was in college for a year and then moved from Pittsburgh to Atlanta, causing me to drop out. After two years of working retail (which I hate), i'm finally able to quit my job and go back to school.

    Working at Barnes 'N Noble is great for the thirty percent discount and being around books all day, but the customers suck. I hate being yelled at by obnoxious customers who can't stand it when they give me one word of the...
  15. The latest I'm reading.
