My name is ______, and I'm a writing alcholic... :-) Welcome. How many strange, unique,and individual routes we take to meet that thing inside us that won't shut up.
--- Quote from: J. D. Ford on May 19, 2009, 12:12:26 AM ---...Somehow, I burned myself out about three years ago. Took eight months off from writing. Came back and wrote, of all things, a 70,000 word short novel set in the Halo (video game) universe. I mean...how stupid is that? I knew it was stupid at the time, but I loved the characters and story so much that I was compelled to finish it. I now consider it rehabilitation and practice, if nothing else...and I did manage to find my 'voice' (such as it is) whilst writing the bloody thing (which you can find through a link in my profile, if you have a lot of free time on your hands and enormous patience and/or literary charity). I guess it's not a total loss.
...C'est la vie.~J. D.

A total loss? Never! I applaud your tanacity! Never, ever a total loss... Always another step along the way to improving our writing craft. Welcome JD

Greetings and salutations all, I am as one would guess an inspiring... I have currently five books based on a variety of themes. However and this is the audacious (love big words but i love spell check even more :P) part of the program and i hereby invoke my arrogance!
I have been reading the files and have started "EGADS" another one. This one however i am looking for not only approval of the "jerk" err writer that got me interested in the area but help from those that live in my local area.
So here goes Mr. Butcher may I introduce into "your world" a set of personas that may or may not run into some of your characters?
About myself, i am an avid martial artist, and know the rights and wrongs of power strength utilities of mind etc. Also i have a stong faith and have on more than one occasion Lived a palidins actions as that is what Micheal and the bearers of the swords are in my oppinion. I am not however an enforcer of the law, or the church. Just the idiot in the right place at the wrong time, and did what needed to be done. Why i was there no clue!
There you are and thank all of you for your time and i appreciate all of your input, and please note some of the posts are amusing.
And as i so love cliffhangers washington state is my locale.

Ok... I've been a "member" for a few months now, but haven't posted anything here. Blame it on Meg and the rest of the writers who have kept me entertained and busy on the DV site. I've written short stories since highschool, had a few poems chosen for publishing, but really had no turn out on any of them. In highschool, my forte was spin offs from X-Men...my most beloved of comics (sorry Jim...can't replace a true love...no matter how geeky it seems.) but that quickly turned off into Sci-Fic trumphs of laughable goo that my creative writing teacher liked to take home to entertain himself with when he had boring papers to grade. The shame...the horror...the...ok...laugh it up. He liked them....thought they were hallarious. Is there really such a thing as comedic sci-fi? ... Anyway... poetry what got published, but then...I could never commit fully to writing an actual full on storyline about anything ... not with my kids climbing in my hair all day. So, for now... I think I'll stick with trudging short controversial post-story lines with the wonderful talents of Meg and the rest of the DV crew...that satisfies my creative hunger for now... besides... it doesn't matter how good of a writer you are, if you don't interact with other writers and bounce ideas off them once in a while....you just get dreary, dead and dried up crusts of what used to be a great thing.... not that Jim will ever go through that.... Jim... my asperation... my mediation...and my....ok...enough butt kissing.
