    The Writer's Block Thread

    I am having an issue with writers block on one of my stories. I am 11K words in. I had an outline but as I wrote and the story moved away from the outline the ending I plotted really didn't make sense anymore. Now I am a little stuck on where to take the second half of this story. I have a...

    Opinions on Fanfiction? Love, hate, tolerate?

    Writing Marvel and DC comics fanfiction is how I first got into writing. I would write long stories and it really helped me develop my love for writing. Soon I decided that I could write my own stories and create my own worlds. I do not write fanfiction anymore nor do I really read it. It...

    Plotter or Pantser or Plantser?

    I am a mix of both. Before I start a story I plot an outline but I pretty much always veer away from it as the story and characters speak to me and tell me directions they need to go. As the outline changes I will make a new outline and when that chances I will make another. I have burned...

    Getting Emotional When Writing/Reading

    I was reading a zombies short story. And in it a child zombie was being tortured by some other kids. It made me very sad. I was upset about it the rest of the day.

    The Gratitude Thread

    I just spent 4 days visiting my mother. It was a great time and I am grateful for the time we have together. I don't see her all that often so any time we can spend together is welcomed.

    What Is One Thing All Your Stories Have In Common?

    My stories seem to have a lot of murder. Someone is always getting killed in my stories. And suicide is also a theme I do a lot.

    Procrastination...

    I know I am going to do the short story contest. I am starting that story today. But as for the fourth contest I may pass on that because my fight scenes are the weakest part of my writing and I don't feel I can give the contest justice.

    Procrastination...

    To be honest I really don't try to force myself. It seems that everything works out in the end. If I get stuck on a part I don't stress and just set it aside because it will come to at some point. I really enjoy the story but there are a lot of fight scenes and that is my weak spot as a...

    Your Writing Feats

    My biggest feat is that I just finished my 5th fantasy novel. It was by far my largest project. My biggest novel before this one was just over 66K words. But this one came it at 95K words. I was pretty overwhelmed as I worked on it because of the sheer size and scope of the project but in...

    What Won't You Write?

    I will not write Sci Fi. Not that I have anything against it, I just do not have the skill as a writer to make a good story. I don't have the technical know how to make it believable and I really don't have the desire to research them. I used to write erotic stories but I have really stepped...

    Why do you write?

    I write because it is a passion of mine. I love getting lost in my worlds, building worlds and taking notes. I also write to help me cope with a pretty bad mental health condition. I always say that writing has saved my life as it has seen me through some very very hard and dark times. I...

    What are you working on?

    Right now I have two projects going. Zombietown Population 0 and Dead Fire which is the origin of the Zombie virus in my Zombietown world. Though I am toying with the idea of starting a 3rd project this week.

    Procrastination...

    I am facing a pretty bad case of procrastination with one of my stories. I am working on a Novella for my Zombietown series and I started it back in June of 2024. I enjoy the story and when I do write on it the story flows well and the ideas just come. But there are large breaks between when...
