Who On Here Writes

[CatherineM]

Had an article published in the [url="http://www.wcr.ab.ca/news/2009/1012/mardon101209.shtml"]Western Catholic Reporter[/url]today. Under my husband's byline of course. I don't mind him getting the credit so long as he lets me spend the money.

I should be writing. I am drunk and feeling sorry for myself (in context. My life is the bomb).

[Paddington]

I haven't been drunk in over 72 hours. My desire and goal is to extend that into a real streak.

To get with the topic, I want my stepbrother to return my computer so I can use it for resumes and for WRITING. Secret writing. Shhh!!!!

Yea, he is fixing the internet, which leaves me without microsoft word.

Like when that family of possums made a nest in your mom's sock drawer?

Those pesky things were a pain to get rid of...that is a chapter in and of itself!

I'm working on a novella.

I wish I could share the basic plot here, but I wont since it is public and someone could steal my idea. I came up with this basic idea while I was praying, and eventually ideas started growing like wild flowers. The story is so original and potentially powerful that I feel compelled to write it. The cathartic moment at the very end for my two main characters Luke and Heather is overwhelming. Its getting up to that point in a convincing manner which is the biggest challenge. I am going to employ a lot of figuration/stoves and there are going to be some indirect references to the Faith, however it isnt a propaganda peice. Ultimately, it is just an interesting story about what happens to two very unique individuals.

So I've been working on it. The voice is first person autobiographical from the point of view of my character Luke. And I am writing a fictional account of myself in the beginning. I'm actually going to find Luke's autobiography, and then read it. However I wont intrude as a persona while Luke is telling his story.

Hopefully it will work out.

You have incredible spelling for a drunk person. Unless of course you are only "drunk". Some guys get a couple froo froo drinks in 'em and think they are hardened badasses

You should check out "Black Powder War" its set in the napoleonic war, but written as if dragons existed. pretty sweet actually



i am quite a storytelling person in real life, not sure if i could put that into a book

All story ideas are stolen. At least the ones worth reading.

[xJessicaIsHisx]

I have the tendency to start writing and have all these ideas and get excited, I can picture all the details and plot in my head but then I never finish my stories
I even procrastinate when it comes to writing in my diary.

This is why I enjoy most English writing assignments, it encourages me to finish my writing

But I love to read, and am probably a way better reader than writer.
