Not wanting to pick on you GB, but you mean exciting, correct? Being a wannabe author, bad spelling is something I pick up on. I'm not immune to mistakes myself, but I fell I have to mention it. Annoys my wife alot when I do it too. :P
Also, what you did happens to me all the time also. My brain works faster than my fingers on the keyboard. I look up at the sentence I type and realised I skipped half of what I was thinking in the sentence I typed. Brains work faster than the body.

:x It's annoying because I'd never do that writing by hand. Okay my turn to point something out that I wasn't going to mention.

Sorry Micky, I think you should start another topic just for your story. Or maybe a mod could separate this one? Looking forward to reading more. Have you got the whole story in your head?

I usually have major points, plus an ending. Then its just a matter of joining the dots effectively.

I can create new events while typing other stuff as well.

That's what I've done too. I've got loads of dots that need joining up but they're all very much in the middle. If I ever get it finished it will be an absolutely huge story, more like a series of interlinked stories. I'm not worried too much about the ending yet but I've got a core group of eight characters that I want to introduce separately before their paths join up. I'm still not really sure whether it should jump around or focus on one at a time or a bit of both.

I've had these characters and the basic premise in my head for about twenty years but have only recently actually written something down. I'm just waiting for another jolt of inspiration at the moment. I'd love to get what's in my head across the way I imagine it but I've never done this sort of writing before so I'm learning my style as I go.

Re: My *NEW* Story room

If anyone finds any spelling or grammatical errors, PM me please, so I can correct it. I like to be correct, but I'm not above making mistakes. Late night writing, plus a wireless keyboard are a bad combo for spelling errors. Grammatical errors, are all on me though.

I feel the need to sometimes spin a tale of adventure. Hero Quest provides a great world to work in, with adventures and perils abound!

This sounds like a cool idea. Whether a new forum room is dedicated to it is of course up to drathe. You may want to mention a Story Room addition where he is most likely to access it at Board index ‹ Ye Olde Inn ‹ Ye Olde Inn Rooms ‹ Forum Discussion Room. Bribes are accepted.
