i am sure that i will get over my writers block in a day or two

Like I said KIL...sit back and stop thinking about it for a bit. I'm not even talking like a day. Just take a bit of time and then go back. Maybe read or watch something of a different feel may influence what you want to do with your tale.

thanks for the advice Snootch

i did just that today and a little bit earlier i was able to write some in my story!! i think that i was just to excited over being able to go to Carlsbad that i could not think very well about my writing, but now that the excitement has worn off a little bit i can write again

LionQueen · It Doesn't Matter Who We Were Before ...

Yay Kil!

Sir Snootch · "Gamers don't sleep. They just nap between levels."

Again KIl..

you are starting to flow the story together. It's getting better, and I'm looking forward to more.

Sounds like it's going to be cool.

OK, I'm just curious to get some feedback on the work itself. Rip it apart, spare no feelings on my part, and tell me what you think. This is just the first chapter. I do have 5 others written. One thing I'd like is, if I do post more chapters, for you guys to tell me if I contradict myself anywhere. I'm horrible at finding things like that. Enjoy!

OK, ignore the ts in between some of the paragraphs. In the file I have the chapter saved in those are stars.

LionQueen · It Doesn't Matter Who We Were Before ...

Paints, I've just read a few paragraphs thus far, but ..... awesome stuff! I don't want to make any specific comments until I've read it all since I have some initial impressions, but I want them to be helpful, and also I don't know how or if they will change after I finish. I will ask this though .......what have you been reading? I'm just interested. Have you adapted your writing style through your reading? Or have you learned it through studying writing? It's very interesting!

It's probably a combination of both, though I wouldn't really know for sure. I don't really feel like I have a distinct writing style. I do seem to favor dialogue though. The most recent chapter I wrote will have long passages of just description but then it will go for quite a while where it's just lines of dialogue with little snippets of non-dialogue bits here and there.

Sir Snootch · "Gamers don't sleep. They just nap between levels."

Paints!!!! I love it. It's got a great fantasy feel, and the titles from the creatures and the lands work very well together. Great work, and I look forward to more.

Now you can re-read it because I made the changes that needed to be made. I'll make sure to edit my chapters more carefully in the future so we don't have this again.

Sir Snootch · "Gamers don't sleep. They just nap between levels."

Paints you aren't the first one to do that. I actually get sick going back and reading some of the Travis stuff I've done. It seems so weak in comparrison to the stuff you guys are posting around here now.

LionQueen · It Doesn't Matter Who We Were Before ...

Ah ... geez ..... check out the bottom of some of my chappies. I scour the posts and then edit all kinds of crap.

I just didn't realize how outdated that chapter was. I've done so much else by way of little changes, such as names or abandoning entire concepts, that it's hard to keep up sometimes. I've tried to get into the habit of not going back and editing my chapters that I've written so that I'm more motivated to continue on. Once I'm done with the novel, and I'm sorely tempted to write all 3 or 4 novels in this series before trying to publish, I'll go through and seriously re-write some things. I'll go through tonight and edit the second chapter for those kinds of little changes and maybe post it tonight. If I find some serious things out of date though it could be a while before you get the next chapter. OK, it won't be tonight. It might be Thursday or Friday, depending on homework and other crap.

Sir Snootch · "Gamers don't sleep. They just nap between levels."

Well I look forward to reading it regardless. That's the great thing about writing. Everyone has a style that works for them.
