Any budding authors among us?
Scytale:
I had these big plans to write this whole manifesto type thing, was going to be like a complete summary of all my political and philosophical beliefs. I was going to try and fill it up with a lot of short allegories and aphorisms and all those types of things kind of like "Beyond Good and Evil". I wrote about 6,000 words or so and then realized 2 things, firstly it it was very self indulgent and secondly it was a lot harder then I thought it would be. I still cull bits and pieces from it every so often when I'm writing song lyrics but for the most part it's pretty much dead in the water.
TheFuriousWombat:
Oh man, I just got a poem published in my school lit mag. It's my big break. Or something.
Bearer:
I do a lot of creative writing, actually. It's what's allowing me to pass English this yeah (my teacher takes it all as extra credit). Apparently it's good because I'm known by most of the English department and the school editors who do the lit magazine.
wraithzero:
I'm a budding author who's terrified of trying to become a real one.
I wrote a story last year (originally intended as a short story to pass my lunch hours, the 5 chapter story ended at 22 chapters and 80,000 words, with plans for another three books to follow it), and gotten enough positive feedback from people who aren't related to me to wonder about trying to get it published.
I just need to work up the guts to send it of and deal with the inevitable rejection letters.
the-artful-dodger-rodger:
I'm poet, with no-illusions of my poerty making me famous or anything. its just nice enough to publish a poem in a book anthology or mag, and getting a few bucks for it.
