This may seem a very unhelpful suggestion but I think there is a premise to create a good twist in the end or annoying hook for the reader. 5. Just start this section that the brother has gone missing. Give no explanation at all and this will place a huge question mark for the reader. You...

This will be quite a random mix, but I hope people don't make too much fun out of me for this list. 1. My mum (she sadly left 5 years ago and a major reason why I want others to read my stories- she has an incredible life story.) 2. Haruki Murakami (Japanese author) 3. Hayao Miyasaki (Studio...

@Pik you have an interesting premise! I always like writing flashbacks so work on this outline... there is a story in there! .... I have been editing a lot lately. Written a new story to fit into my anthology (32 stories- 11 gone through deep edits) and progress is slow as this is largely...

I think I have said this about your writing before, but I think you're great because your style is instantly recognizable no matter the genre. This I find very important, in that the writer has a strong enough voice and can carry their views and styles over to different themes and subject...

I knew a writer who has a deep passion to write their stories by hand. They had beautiful handwriting and they found it cathartic in ways. I think it is a great way to put your ideas (literally) onto paper and develop it again when you type. I have a habit of typing ideas on my phone by...

I think so too Louanne, but this character is rather brash and views themselves on a much higher plane than anyone else. I don't always agree with what my characters point of view but I write what they tell me, and this character is quite naughty.

I have been disciplined this year in focusing on editing the stories I have made, but over the last few weeks I had to write a new story and in it, one of my characters says this: "... only morons fail to realise that it is only when you are broken that you can pick up the shattered fragments...

You've done a wonderful Mr. Moose. I know not all will have said this (me included) but everyone who has signed up are extremely grateful for your hard work, plus this restart has a nice vibe so far. But to stop all the love her (it is the unhappy section) I've got a splitting headache again...

This is very unusual for me, but reading two books at the moment. Started a few weeks ago with my favourite book; Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood - it had been a while since I read this book, but a lovely cousin of mine sent me Uketsu's Strange Pictures which I am reading now- an epic mystery...

And she screamed.

I did Louanne...

My apologies @Louanne Learning! :D I've been a little tired today... bad headache from poor sleep lately. I will remember next time!
