NAG forum writers circle.

[CorDa]

Hmmm, okay, I have a small problem with one off my stories. It's the level of emotion I put in. I'm had stories were people say I put too little in and others were I put too much. So I'm trying to sqaure it off.

Now a question for everyone: Does anyone write Anime related stuff or orignal stories?

[dammit]

A common problem, which is why I figured a writers circle would be a good idea. I already have Gazza pressuring me for a follow up. ;)

Well, its worth a try. Nothings added yet but I finally discovered an as yet unused username so here's my blog link:

Post stuff, and we'll give you feedback on whether it's too overboard. The point here is to develop our writing skillz, not to create the next blockbuster novel. ;)

Kensei does Star Trek fanfic. DeVil and myself are going for original stories, his fantasy, mine sci-fi. Mine has powered armour in it, so that makes it kinda-sorta anime-ish. :P

Don't quite see what you mean, especially if it is prose, as Gazza_N Says, let us have a look and get back to you with some feedback.

Does that mean you are going to post the same thing over and over again like a Dragonballz episode? :)

Hahahaha! I enjoyed that line :)


Also, curse you people... I haven't written a short story for ages, then after I read this thread I ended up having one of those "I have to get out of bed to write this idea before I fall asleep" episodes.

I need my sleep! There's not enough of it as it stands already!

I was wondering, wordpress offers rss right? we could have rss feeds on each writer circle person's blog anf have all the latest posts' links in the rss feed on every blog :)

[MrDeVil_909]

I'm busy trying to figure out how all the technical bits n pieces work. That would be cool, if it doesn't cause clutter problems. But I have added a few to Google Reader already anyway.

I'm semi-proud to say that NAG has some very talented writers. I enjoy your work, please keep it up :)

[Flangenimblick]

I was going to try out this wordpress site but it's too much effort for me to move my stuff from my existing blog.

So here's my stuff (some of it at least), enjoy: Legendary Words

Is anyone else on BlogSpot?

Also, could someone help me out? I can't seem to get wordpress to accept my spacing for my poetry. I don't know how to get it to leave lines, indent etc and it is quite frustrating as most of my poetry is affected by the shaping.

My line spacing is automatic (when I press enter) although I also cant indent.

I just created a blog... posted some of my poems. I still have to go find my stories etc...
Some of them are in afrikaans(seeing as it is my home language).
Please leave some comments. I;d love to hear what you guys think...

Note sure if wordpress can do it but you could switch to HTML view and use nobreaking spaces (the code is:   ) to do the spacing

@creep: Did you want crits on your poems?

Please leave some comments. I;d love to hear what you guys think...

Edit: How much crit do you want on your poems? :P

The <blockquote> tag indents text; the <p> tag will automatically leave line breaks when you close it, although you can also use the <br> tag to force a line break.

thanks :)

[edit]: Thanks for the comments :)

@ Kensei: The poem would make more sense if I could get the line spacing to work (still working on that) as there are three lines in each stanza. An extra line isn't possible but perhaps I should work on adding in another stanza?
