Non-Fiction

.C.Dreaming of ... Icon : (Today, 04:45 PM) I posted a response. I don't really have anything that need critiquing.
Cuchulain Icon : (Today, 01:41 PM) If anyone wants to take a look at Seamus and Alania, I will gladly critique one of your stories in return
.C.Dreaming of ... Icon : (Today, 11:22 AM) Medicated writers block is even worse then the standard beast.
.L.Brat Icon : (Today, 07:26 AM) Writer's block is like Santa Claus. Only exists if you believe in it.
JJessie Icon : (Yesterday, 10:17 PM) Arggg.....writers block is a hateful thing...why does it have to come up at the worst times...
Isalith Icon : (Yesterday, 08:07 PM) whazzap
.C.Dreaming of ... Icon : (Yesterday, 07:44 PM) good evening
Isalith Icon : (Yesterday, 07:18 PM) heyoooo
.L.PretendThere... Icon : (Yesterday, 03:46 PM) Which story got almost-accepted?
.C.Spiral Icon : (Yesterday, 03:40 PM) Thanks for the advice
Steerpike Icon : (Yesterday, 03:32 PM) but i gotta head out the door. I'll check when I get home.
Steerpike Icon : (Yesterday, 03:31 PM) Thus my post in the Publishing Resources forum :)
Steerpike Icon : (Yesterday, 03:31 PM) Well, now I want to check to be sure. I thought, when I looked at the site, that they didn't.
.C.Spiral Icon : (Yesterday, 03:31 PM) crap. That must have slipped under the radar
.C.Spiral Icon : (Yesterday, 03:31 PM) they dont pay?
Steerpike Icon : (Yesterday, 03:30 PM) But they don't pay do they? Why not make the changes and send it to a paying market?
.C.Spiral Icon : (Yesterday, 03:26 PM) Bewildering stories says they could accept a short story of mine with a few tweaks. I feel happy! =D
Steerpike Icon : (Yesterday, 03:23 PM) Hate to see people undersell themselves
Steerpike Icon : (Yesterday, 03:23 PM) I did have one submission that I rejected because the author could (in my view) sell it to a higher paying market. He would have only got $25 from me. I told him if he failed to send it elsewhere, submit it to me again.
Steerpike Icon : (Yesterday, 03:22 PM) Yep. That's the way to do it. You can always work your way down in the markets later.
.C.Spiral Icon : (Yesterday, 03:22 PM) The money, for me, is proof of their approval
.C.Spiral Icon : (Yesterday, 03:21 PM) =D I always aim high
Steerpike Icon : (Yesterday, 02:38 PM) Hey cats...in following up with a post I made, I'd like to encourage everyone NOT to submit to non-paying markets. Your efforts and time in writing your story are worth something. If you think you're getting good exposure from non-paying markets, you aren't. Your name won't be remembered and editors at established markets won't care if you've placed 50 pieces with non-paying markets. Respect your creative output enough to demand some compensation for it. Start high up in the paying markets and work your way down. And never give your story away for free. That's my view :)
.L.Brat Icon : (Yesterday, 07:00 AM) Daily prompt updated.
.C.Debaser Icon : (Yesterday, 01:53 AM) lmao
Whirlmaster Icon : (Yesterday, 01:26 AM) Hi!Wow,I'm so dumb I just realized there was a chatbox thingy.
bookbuyer Icon : (08 September 2010 - 09:07 PM) Hi. Just thought I'd try this out once. It seems cool. :D
.L.PretendThere... Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:42 PM) Oh, sorry for disappearing. Creative writing is awesome. It's all poetry now, but I'm learning so much about poems I didn' t know, like meter, and how much abstraction to use.
.C.Dreaming of ... Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:27 PM) I can't figure out what to write. Its not writers block as much as lack of inspiration and motivation.
Isalith Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:24 PM) :D
Isalith Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:24 PM) lkfsnhgaosdkgksd
.C.Spiral Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:20 PM) =D how is creative writing?
.L.PretendThere... Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:17 PM) Ascenders, by the way, is still going. I take creative writing in university now and it steals my writing time. But I work on Ascenders.
.L.PretendThere... Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:16 PM) Oh then. hehe
.C.Spiral Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:15 PM) they're safe for now
.C.Spiral Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:14 PM) mhmm
.L.PretendThere... Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:13 PM) Wait huh? I mean my Forerunner prediction--
Isalith Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:11 PM) Im heree
.C.Spiral Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:11 PM) well, no one who will talk
.C.Spiral Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:10 PM) no witnesses, see?
.C.Spiral Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:10 PM) nope
.L.PretendThere... Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:07 PM) Was my prediction right?
.C.Spiral Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:06 PM) Pen^2 raged at me when he read it
.C.Spiral Icon : (08 September 2010 - 08:06 PM) :D just wait till you see chapter 12
.L.PretendThere... Icon : (08 September 2010 - 07:56 PM) Oh yeah, Spiral, chapter 11 was amazing.
.C.Spiral Icon : (08 September 2010 - 07:23 PM) Mad scientist weapons ahoy
.C.Spiral Icon : (08 September 2010 - 07:23 PM) Next few chapters are going to be insanely climactic
.C.Spiral Icon : (08 September 2010 - 07:22 PM) Can't believe how far I've come with Forerunner
