message 51: by Lilly (new)

Lilly I like to write, but sometimes I get discouraged, so I'll usually trash the story somewhere near the beginning and start a new story.

message 54: by Mark (new)

Mark Barrett | 2 comments I love writing. Novels, poetry, short stories.

I also want to encourage others to write, which is why I set up this interactive short story writing website with a couple of friends. We want writers of all levels of experience (including none) to use our site to help inspire their own writing.

The premise is that you use something or somebody from an existing story as a focus for a story of your own. The stories are then hyperlinked to allow the readers to jump between stories to follow their favourite character, place or object.

Please come along and enjoy it. Four of the stories on there are mine (mtb1757).

Yup, especially if the story isn't boring and is well written.


message 57: by fossil (new)

fossil | 1 comments I like writing...a lot.
I used to do it more often when I was younger because I had the time and the creativity to come up with things etc etc but then high school came and my time to read or write has been reduced to basically nothing more than reading the books we had to read for assignments (or the occasional Lord of the Rings/Hunger Games I read between schoolwork over months of time, ugh!)
But now that I'm in college, I rediscovered my creative mind (probably also the whole evolution of thinking etc) and decided to work on a long-term fanfiction instead of the sloppy one shots I sometimes wrote inbetween coursework during high school

In short: yeah, writing is cool! Even better when my muse is on point c:

James Flamel (a_golden_leaf_in_winter) | 8 comments I love to write. That doesn't mean I'm anywhere near the best. Anything of mine is fair game to critique.

The worst parts about school are the people.


 ☾~℉ꅤꇩꋪꋬꅤ~☾ | 3 comments Right? Sometimes I right down different scenarios about how I could make one conversation go all ending in different ways.


message 65: by James (new)

James Flamel (a_golden_leaf_in_winter) | 8 comments Conversations are a kind of art, in my opinion. They're harder than writing because in conversations, everything goes so quickly and you can't just edit whatever you just said.

Lee (lee-lette) | 138 comments Mod
To me, conversations aren't necessarily the harder parts of writing because a story is wider than just conversations, like descriptions, figurative devices and speech, grammar etc. Conversations are what you make them, be it the focal point of your story, the minor part, just there because or to make the story more interesting. That's just what I think.

message 83: by Anna (new)

message 84: by Anny (new)

Anny (annyreads) | 1 comments I love to write, just wish I could get inspired more often though xD Like it completely comes in waves, sometimes I have 5 ideas running in my head at the same time, and then it'll be dead space for years. Glad I'm not an author O.o
