Dead Writing ~ What Can You Do?

[chickendiva25]

Do you think it's a bad idea to post all/some of them here?

I wouldn't post the ones you plan on publishing someday on BYC.

I remember posting on one of the writing threads about that.
Posting your manuscript online decreases the already slim chances of getting published.

I wrote books all the time. Then I got older & looked at them, I sucked at writing haha. Now any book that I write has something to do with magic or mysteries, I almost never use adults either.

I write all the time. I have really awesome ideas in my head but I can never make them sound the same when I write them down. Sometimes I just live the fantasy without attempting to write, thats called day dreaming

Whoa, that's so weird, I am exactly the same way, always have been, even since I was little, I could imagine/dream a whole book, but getting it all written down and sounding as good as it sounded/looked in my head is not quite the same.

When I was younger (like 6) , I thought I would publish a book. (The Journey for Home) I actually made the commitment, and it got up to 22 chapters, but then it just died, so I went back to look at it and GOSH I sucked.

Now I've got multiple stories going, ex: Breakaway, A Crime I Didn't Commit, It Started with Number Two, Light in a Dark Place, and Candlelit.

I wrote a story not long ago for a program at my school, it was called The Story of S and it made it into my state judging, but I didn't win.

Wow!! I'm glad it's not just me.

I feel slightly less of a freak now.




I did that once, early last year, a couple months back I found the notebook..

It..was..horrible. That was before I joined BYC. Imma good writer now.
