Getting valuable opinons on my stories is an exciting thing! You can only force your family to read so much!

This is so cool. My friends are thoroughly tired of hearing me read something to them. *whispers* I think they're planning a revolt

Efawhs:
I am new to the boards and would like to join this writer's group.  I haven't figured out how to send a PM yet so any advice would help.  I've read quite a bit so far and was wondering...  Has anyone thought about taking a collection of stories from everyone and putting them all together in a book?  Maybe that would be a way to get some of us noted among the published. 

Just a thought.  (we can even blame Jim Butcher in the credits of the book for inspiring us to get together and create such a hodgepodge (sp?) of styles and genre.)  hehe.  Might have to ask him if he MINDS getting credit though. :)

Just a thought.  Be strong, be safe and let your heart flow through your hand.

That's self publishing, essentially. I'm not a fan of that, as first publication rights are then whoosh out the window.

There's an icon under people's avatars you can hover your mouse over, and it'll show an option to send a PM.

This is nothing Jim-Official, just us getting together.

Phil Boswell has given us an unintentional challenge:
" How much mileage could you realistically get out of a protagonist who is good at reducing themselves to dripping goo?"

While the board would be open to helping anyone with any story, I was thinking about having writing assignments, to push people...that could be the first one

I just joined this website and am very interested in the writing aspects, I would normally say that I am an aspiring writer but that is not precisely true. I write all the time, so I suppose it's the having other people read what I write that I aspire to. :)

Masuri:
I've lurked on the board for awhile and just registered today. 

This idea is an excellent one.  The part about pushing people is key, I think.  As my career as a computer engineer progresses, I find myself writing technical documents, training materials and SOP manuals - and nothing else.  I was an English major, back in the day, and somehow I seem to have lost all the creative writing I used to do.  It feels like it's been so long since I tried to actually create something that I'm not sure I remember how.  It's sad, truly.

Good on you for putting this together, sir.
