You can see you've got the bones of something that could work.<br /><br />Nutschell - Me too, especially when characters take on a life of their own, then they are driving the story, not the writer. Nice to meet you!<br /><br />Kristen - Thanks!<br /><br />C.B. - I *love* new ideas.<br /><br />MOV - Thanks for following! I will be sure to get over to your blog. Agreed, I couldn't imagine not writing. That would be hell!<br /><br />Mel - Hmm, I tend to not be massively into the research. I tend to find out what I need to know as I go along as I'm impatient to write. You've given me food for thought!<br /><br />M Pax - Definitely a sweet feeling when you get to the end. Then you have something to work with.<br /><br />Alex - Ditto my reply above, and I'm not at the review stage yet, but I really appreciate the feedback I have had on short stories, eg in the Campaign.<br /><br />Cynthia - Agreed. Everything is your expression and you can do anything you want. That's really exciting!Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040914078355130442.post-23187510944115057142012-04-06T05:49:25.278+01:002012-04-06T05:49:25.278+01:00One of the many exciting aspects of being a writer...One of the many exciting aspects of being a writer is being able to utilize my thoughts in the way I see fit to create a world, a cast of characters, and a story that I feel is worth being heard.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912167351889969855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040914078355130442.post-52258230599281182912012-04-05T23:25:22.973+01:002012-04-05T23:25:22.973+01:00It's exciting once I'm managed to get the ...It's exciting once I'm managed to get the first draft down and can begin editing (something I enjoy) and it's exciting when I see a review from someone who really enjoyed and 'got' my book.Alex J.

I feel the words bubbling up in my brain and I have to get them down on paper HAVE TO or they will just ooze out my pores and be gone without me catching them. That is my definition of hell-- anywhere without a pen and paper. I write contantly. <br /><br />found you on the a to z! cannot wait to read more.
