Hey Dru, looks like like we're both the past tense for draw.

Hi, my name is Randall Dickey... yes life was hard....did you catch that. Anyways a little about me, I was in the Army for eight years, I loved and I hated it, I wanted a career change so I got out and now I am in school to et my Creavtie Writing Degree from U of H. The writing style that I like and seems the easier for me to write is horror and dark fiction. I'm very unpublished for right now but hopefully that will chance here soon. I'm also working on two comic books that go along with the novels that I want to write. The only problem is I have no artist so all I can do as of right now is write the comics. I only have four characters developed for both the books and comics. And believe it or not only two of my characters have had a military life style. Thats about it in a nut shell. There is more to it but I'm too darn paranoid to talk about it. Yeah so sue me, I'm ex-military.

Howdy everyone. Finally decided to stop ghosting, and post something.
I have been working on several different books for several years, but suffer from an intense hatred of typing. I have the whole story in my head, but hate putting it down. In fact, one of my books is plotted out as a trilogy, and I know most of what happens in all three of the books. The other is an open ended series, which once again I know a great deal about, and even have ideas of when certain facts will be revealed, how much the main character knows, and how much he thinks he knows, but actually doesn't .
So, from time to time I will sit down and belt out 5 or 10 pages, and then get sick of typing. I guess some day I will finish one of them and see if anyone else (i.e. publishers) like it. If they do, perhaps I will actually be motivated enough to write them faster.
Hmm, maybe I just need to find some good voice recognition software. Of course, that would take money. :(
Edit - Moved my introduction to introduction thread. Hmm, seems like too good of an idea to me. There must be something wrong with it.

Hi, name's Steve Walizer. I'm currently in the process of world development and plotting for an urban fantasy novel. I'm tentatively setting things in Seattle. My current plan is to come up with 3 plot outlines using the characters and world I'm developing and run with the one that seems strongest after some feedback. This will also give me additional material to fall back on for sequels should I manage to find an agent and publisher that wants more than one book ;)
I've wanted to be a novelist since I was 15, and I'm now 35, so I figured it's about time I put my nose to the grindstone and do it ;D

Hey! My name is Cyndy and I am proud to join this group of aspiring novelists. *waves*
My current project is agent shopping for my paranormal urban fantasy. I am proud to announce that I have two rejction e-mails (but one directed me to try a specific other agent) and one agent who is reading my first 50 pages and summary. My goal is to send to several more agents and collect 25 rejection letters by Summer vacation, unless someone accepts the book first!
