If only we could give each other tips on how to improve our writing, or get past those nasty writer's blocks! Here we can get the brain juice flowing.

That would be a great idea. Everybody would have to be willing to take a bit of advice and the advisor should be tactful so that we all don't end up running for the closet (you know, the one with the shotgun inside!!!).I like it.
Have a Great Day!!!
John (aka, the "Creature")
If only you weren't so funny John! I can't stop laughing from your posts!
If only I Could make everyone laugh. The world would be a funnier place and we'd all be feeding off each others laughter so hard that side-splitting laughter would take on a whole new meaning. Ho! Ho! Ho!Oh sorry, he's gone til next year.
C-ya!!!
If only I could breath! hahahahahahahahahaha. You are awesome!
If only life wasn't one big royal court (with me the Jester). Oh Well.
If only! What would that make me then?
If only you are a twelfth level female fighter who can become a mighty Red Dragon at will.
If only I could except that position! Indeed I think I shall!
If only...Let's have a barbeque. We've got us a Red dragon. I'll bring the Satyr ribs!!!
If only I could have them extra barbecued and dripping with barbecue sauce?
If only there is barbeque sauce in fantasy stories. Of course there is. Fantasy has everything. extra barbequed Satyr coming up.And thazt is the writing tip. Fantasy allows one to stretch the imagination to include whatever is needed to make a phenomonal story. Harry Potter, need I say more???
If only you had too! I know what you mean!Would you like a hypogrif wing or some doxy eggs for orderves?
If Only if you promise to serve them with Goblin stew.
If only I had some but unfortunately my kitchen lacking. Would witches brew be a suitable substitute?
If only I wasn't already addicted to witches brew. Bring it on (and a flagon of Mead).
If only I had some butterbear to add to that. But here you can have the witches brew and some toadstool truffles.
And why are you talking bout butterbear ad Mead? you should be talking about rum! (Jack Sparrow):)
:DDDDDDD
Ah, then we be Rum-Runners Matey's. Shiver me timbers I believe we have struck an accord with yon scurvy dogs!
Surrender ye yello livered lubbers! Put up your white flag!
ARRR! Then we be runnin' the skull and cxrossbones and set up a Broadside. Load the cannons and prepare to board. We'll send those dogs where they belong, down to Davey Jones Locker. Their treasure will be ours.
Load cannons! All hands on deck! One volley and she goes down with the tide!
Split her open at the seams and prepare to board her. Aye, spare me the Captain. We'll make him walk the plank. The sharks need a bit of a meal. Aye, lads, we will drink to our victory as the Brits slip beneath the sea. Take no prisoners and spare no Parlay.
Ye calling us filthy brits?! We be scurvy dogs like yerselves! Pray for mercy for we have Puss in Boots on board!(hehe couldn't resist)
Now, bring me that horizon, and really bad eggs!
Would that be all my lady or would you like the entire world on a string as well? I'll be sitting on a rainbow in the meantime.
Aye you have Puss-n=Boots aboard but it'll do ye no good. We have a "Cat in the Hat" and he'll feed ye yer green eggs and Ham.
Arr then I be forced to let lose me hellhounds and emposa to take care of ye little "cat in the hat".
Shiver me timbers. we've got a bloomin' landlubber among us. I'll run ye through unless ye be sidin' with us!!! AAARRRGGG!
This must be real. If it was a dream there'd be rum. hellhounds!! awesome! whats its name! the pet!
Question: How did writing advice turn into pirate talk?? LOL
I guess we're giving advice on how to write the next great Pirate Story. Complete with Pirate speak?!?!? "Now hoist the sails Me lads, tis time for another adventure. AAARRRGGG!!!
Honestly, I don't know what started it but it's been both fun and funny.
My advise; keep reading and writing. As Stephen King says; It's hard to be a good writer if you are not a good reader.
"Aye, Me Bucko, hand me that map. We're sailing through strange waters and ye better be sharp lads. Man the crow's nest and give me a depth reading. Aye lads, we'll thread the needle and clear these reefs. Davey Jones will not claim us this day. You hear me Jones. It is I , Captain Cordray, and I be comin' after your treasure."
well I shouldn't have any problems cuz i read all the time"As you were, men."
Wow, guys, this is EXACTLY what I was hoping for and more! You guys are so creative already, you are giving each other advice without even thinking about it!
If only you knew how you were already getting your juices flowing. This is so satisfying!

And sending a volley over the masthesd of your ship might be excitin' as well. C'mon ye Landlubbers, the only way ye can let others know about the tfreacheries of flyin' under the Jolly Roger is to write about it. Arrr! Ye can do it. All ye got to do is keep a log like me ole' buddy Capt. James Tiberius..."...Kirk Here!"
"Captain, it appears we are approaching the Mutar nebulon and It is reaching a vaporous arm out to greet us."
"Well what are you waiting for, Mr. Spock. Scan for life forms."
"There are several life forms Captain, and they are human."
"Patch me through, I'll take it here in engineering."
...Crackle, Crackle...
"Aye, Kirk me lad, are ye there. This is yer ole'pal..."
"...Captain Cordray. How can I ever forget such a scurvy dog as yourself?"
"AARR! Ye do me no justice. Permission to come aboard."
"Permission granted. One to Beam up Scotty."
"Aye Captain."
You see? That's how fun it is and why I like fantasy. You can do anything with it, including mixing elements of the past and future. all you need is one pirate ship, one USS Enterprise, and a Mutar Nebulon, and you're in the story business. AR! AR! AR!!!
"Is there room for a tired rider and dragon aboard your ship gentlemen?" "RAOOOAAARR!!!"
Remember, try to use "if only" at the beginning. And don't get to carried away, this is for advice! lol. But I love your attitude.
If only i could live in th POTC movies! that would be awesome!
If only ye would hop on board and teach us scurvy dogs the finer points of Dragon Riding. Aye, lassie (again not the other one of tv fame) ye could write a book then we could collect all yer treasure!!!
Aye, that we could. If only i could teach you dragon ridin. I'm better at sailing ma ship, but i do quite a bit o' dragon ridin' as well.
"I thank you captain." *lands dragon on ship and hops off* "Dost thou know how to care for my noble steed?"
Aye, we have full sail and be heading for the land of sheep!!!
"My steed loves sheep, but don't let her eat too much or it will not go well for us."
Yer right, things could go very BA-A-A-A-D for us indeed!!!
*I laugh*This is not a laughing matter sir. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Excuse me! I think you misunderstood. I amd not a lowly stable boy! I am the mighty pirate prince - Fart!
If only I couldn't smell ye comin' a mile away. Take us down wind Mr. Taylor!!!And Lads, remember we have a Dragon aboard whose tails will make us all filthy rich. the whole stinkin' lot of you!!!
If only I hadn't heard that."Fly my beauty fly!"
*dragon crashes through side of ship and rockets into the sky*
"Farethewell ye stinkin murderers!"
