A Shameless Plug
http://crazywriters.freeforums.org/ Well, my friend and I just started this website. It's for writers and naturally, we have a whole section or... well... two whole sections!!! devoted to not writing. Because we are crazy, writers, and therefore, not writing is our second best friend. If you're inte...

Re: Most efficient mode of outlining?
I am an uber free-writer, like you would not believe. When I start writing, I know what happens at the beginning of the story. Yeah. The beginning. That's it. Now, as I go, I figure out what my characters have going on in their lives, what the main objective is, etc. I never write it down because if...

Re: Questionable content - do you read it?
Yes, I've read The Hunger Games trilogy. But I've always felt it's different because it's kids killing other kids. This would be a grown man killing a little boy with either a sword or a metal club or something like that.
Anyway, thanks for the replies, everyone!

A question on violence
Hi Nathan... Or whoever else feels the need to reply. :) I'm wondering if I could get your views on something: violence. But not just any violence. I'm working on an adult piece (my first outside the YA genre) and it's going very well. Or, it was up until yesterday. I've reached a scene that's going...

Re: How do you title a book?
I share your pain. One thing I agonize over for a long time after finishing something is whether or not I have the right title. I try to name after theme. (I write fantasy, so...yeah...) For instance: I have a novel, finished, (never going to be published!!!) that's called The Key. I named it that b...

Questionable content - do you read it?
My work in progress is...well...complicated, to say the least. I've created a dystopian world that's basically the last place any human would want to live. It's violent, corrupt, and any other horrible thing you can think of. (Excuse the lack of descriptors; it's late and my brain turned off about t...

Title: The Soldier Genre: YA Sci-fi Word count: 234 This was the end. I jumped behind a scrubby old bush, barren from the ravages of the latest drought. It was as far as I could move in the precious few seconds allowed to me. Then they came, black shapes against a black sky, things that blotted out ...
