First off I wanna apologize to everyone for my long absence.  I didn’t intend to become an inactive member, but it’s been several months since I’ve got on here, so I’m really sorry.  Life has been crazy for me right now and I just couldn’t seem to find the time when I wasn’t distracted or focused on something else.  I’ll try to be much be…[Read more]

I am 100% willing to accept any help you can give me, and I really hope you’ve enjoy reading it.

I totally agree with you about female soldiery.  I’ve written many female characters in action stories before, with lots of fighting and killing.  In fact, one of my other female characters was in a milit…[Read more]

Any help you can give me is extremely appreciated, and don’t worry about the time frame, there’s no rush at all.

I personally don’t like critiquing either.  I don’t like the pressure and having to be the one to point out problems with other people’s writing.  But I know it’s an important part of the process.

So, it’s set in a totally fictitious world, but isn’t really fantasy.  It’s written like modern day, with some reference to to futuristic tech.  So I’m not exactly sure what genre it fits in, to be honest….

Sorry I’ve been inactive for so long.  The holiday season has been more crazy even than usual, as we flew home from CA to TN a few days before Christmas to deliver my dog’s litter of puppies.  We’d left her with friends and found out she was pregnant, so that changed our plans up a bit.  The puppies were born Christmas night, and I…[Read more]

(What an odd pattern that is…) But it was the best I could do this crazy month.

I hope most of you did better than I did. 😉

Good luck!

Good luck to us!

I’m sorry I can’t really think of a way to help with editing or have anything to point out, but I really loved it! 🙂

I have a short story to finish, but my other WIPs are kinda on hold right now due to… ehem, Writer’s Block.

I’ll do my best though, maybe add a few hundred to the word count.

Good luck everyone else!

They’re masterpieces. Lord of the Rings is definitely darker and more intense in that way, but they’re both amazing at that. The contrast between selfishness and love, light and dark, is brilliantly done.

Maybe a scene a day? Currently on Chapter 21 of my WIP, so I’ve got to keep moving on that. Glad y’all are getting things accomplished!
