Hehe. For a story idea, it's not as exciting, but logically it would probably end up with less risk and more revenue :P And I edit writing to be published, but...
Thanks Yana! :) So what do we want to do now? Start a story? Or just leave this as a chat group for now until we feel like it? I know Yana is up to her neck in...
I think that, if this group is ever going to get started on a story, the holidays are the best opportunity we'll have. "So start one, Pablo!" I will if...
Awww, and I was thinking there was too much of *me*! Well... darn. How about we decide together what it should basically be about? Most likely it will be...
At first it seems like she would not have enough challenges in life to be very interesting. But there are several directions you could go to counteract that. ...
Or not, heh. I have heard from Yana, though, and as a christmas gift she's thinking of attempting a post in her very meager spare time... if she gets one....
I believe I'll have time on Christmas Day, at least. :P In the meantime, I'm working at least eleven hours per day, and on days like this one, thirteen. :P My...
... Oh, no worries, you won't have to know anything about New Orleans. I don't want to copy the city, I've decided, merely copy it's circumstances as a city...
"Oh great, ain't no way," Mira said, staring at the two thugs who had just jumped out of shadows. Backing up, she pivoted and ran a few steps, then hopped back...
Thought I'd start a separate thread for discussion. If no one can think of what might happen next, or if it doesn't feel right then we can always begin another...
The story has a lot of potential for gritty action, with anarchy- breeding remoteness from authority, and perhaps government incompetence and corruption too....
Ok, I seem to have managed to confuse you greatly. ... Her first home burned to the ground and she was the only survivor. Jermaine suspects she's odd,...
Your explanations are very helpful. It looks like you have a lot more backstory in mind than what you wrote. Maybe the next post or two could be a flashback...
When Mira went to sleep frightened, she was liable to revisit a nightmare that had become central to her dilemma. She recognized the Tibalt place in Harahan,...
Good post! Though I'm a bit confused how we got from a city to a farm, but I suppose it's in the outlying area. More than likely she gravitated to the city...
... farm, but I ... I set it in her last town (or its outskirts, as you say). That came from working backward from how they could die while she is with them ...
I've just printed it out and skimmed it. Going to read it more later, since it's salon day (a tradition here, probably from the Chinese, or maybe in a general...
Hmmm, I'll have to do some research on Leonard Cohen. Googling him now. I've heard Bob Dylan, though, so no worries there. Hm, only song I knew out of those...
It wasn't that Mira wished she had died with the Tibalts; it wasn't very noble of her, she knew, but she wasn't even sure if, given the chance, she would have...
I posted a bit, a little more on her history, mostly. And some speculation as to how she had survived. I've read a little about foster care in the United...
... Good idea. And a good job too. I haven't met any current or former foster children. But I've read that, at leat in Washington State, the system is...
LoL. I like to research, too. Or I make notes to myself as I'm writing to go more into depth for setting, etc. during revisions. Most of what I've read is that...
Hm, well I suppose I'm bored with Miracle Child. What a short lived tale! Pablo suggests it's the collision of genres. I think we need something with a little...
Hiya! Here's the first in a hopefully long list of what everyone is reading. It was a good tradition in the old Tag, and certainly worthy of being restarted. ...
"Turning pretty" sounds more like turning creepy to me! That's got to be a good story. I've been enjoying one of my Christmas presents, "The Year's Best ...
How was everyone's Valentines? Mine was just another day for me, I'm afraid. Somewhat more disappointing in that it could have been more, but events prevented...
Robin walked briskly on her errand ignoring the general noise about her. A list of groceries and stern commandments not to linger, but go straight there and...
As the business war on the air is hotting up with so many low-budget airlines dominating the sky, the passengers can now enjoy the best deals. The webguide -...
