*Wakes up and sees new writewraiths* High low! Guess what! I have a 2 by 4 now! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Talk about writers block...it went away then came back, and I can't figure out my next sentance. I know whats going to happen, I just can't figure out the sentance! I need some more mushrooms. Any one want some?

Silverstripe · 11-17-2002, 07:12 PM

Gimme MUSHROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMS!!!!!!!!!!
Heehee.

Elvellon · 11-17-2002, 08:20 PM

Ah yes, the ineffable dichotomy of the mushroom and the writer. What would one be without the other?

Silverstripe · 11-17-2002, 08:47 PM

Ah, Elvellon, you understand ...
*hisses* You'd make a fine Writewraith.
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Join us in our staying up too late and head banging!

Elvellon · 11-17-2002, 08:54 PM

I rather use the writer best friend, also known in mundane circles as coffee.

As the mantra goes:

“It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Brazil that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.”

I’m repeating myself, but such is the nature of a mantra. I'm going for a coffee now

hey, it's my 400th post!

Coney · 11-17-2002, 09:37 PM

Congrats Elvellon

Goodevening/morning writewights!!

I'm *thud* having a bit of *slap* trouble

I havn't got writers block as much as I've got writers ingnorance.

I don't suppose anyone know how long it takes to put the saddle, bit, reigns etc on a horse? (my characters are about to steal horses from a stable).

*thud*.........loan me a couple of mushrooms could ya Fred?.......the 2 by 2 isn't working

Wayfarer · 11-17-2002, 09:41 PM

Coney- your readers will thank you if you don't waste your time telling them how to saddle a horse, unless you have a good reason, and can make it flow from a narration perspective. i have yet to see an author who could.

Simply note that the saddled their horses, and cut to the chase.

Coney · 11-17-2002, 09:45 PM

Hmm slight problem, the stealing of the horses is part of the chase (the characters are being persued and if preparing horses takes anything more that a couple of mins, the scene is going to lose a lot of its pace).......tis the time involved in preparing the horses I need, not so much the techinicalities of preparing them.

Silverstripe · 11-17-2002, 10:08 PM

Depends on how skilled your characters are -- if they're really good at this, it might not take more than five minutes. Or possibly they could always grab reins and ride off bareback.

Coney · 11-17-2002, 10:27 PM

About 5 mins! Close enough for me

ty Silverstripe

I thought about the bareback riding but one of the characters is gonna have enough trouble even with a saddle

......... he's not exactly the athletic type.

I'll hash it out in a while.......need coffee (and mushrooms) first.

Silverstripe · 11-17-2002, 10:46 PM

I'M not the athletic type, either, but I can ride bareback if the horse is nicely built for it.

*smiles graciously and hands Coney some mushrooms*

Coney · 11-18-2002, 12:31 AM

Thanks for the 'shrooms

This little 'wraith is off back to his barrow now (4.30am ........ sheesh) Happy all-night scribbling folks

Goodnight, said Zebedee

Silverstripe · 11-18-2002, 12:55 AM

Goodnight, fellow Writewight.

Miranda · 11-18-2002, 09:20 AM

I MIGHT BE GETTING PUBLISHED!!!! I sent the first few chapters to a local publishers and they said they liked my work- WOW!!!! I haven't decided on a title yet but I'm getting to grips with the plot now so fingers crossed- they said it was very mature for someone of my age and a difficult issue to cover but hey- I'll give it a go. If I get published I'll let you know. Hey maybe PJ will make me into a film- I might just have to have a hand in casting- lets say Orlando and I as the two leading roles!!! *girlish giggle as she thinks about her scenes with the elven one!* Chat soon all, Mx

Coney · 11-18-2002, 10:52 AM

Go for it Miranda!!

*breaks out the chocolate covered mushrooms, the Gaffers home brew and puts the 2 by 2 onto storage for the day*

All those all-nighter are paying off

Silverstripe · 11-18-2002, 10:59 AM

Go Miranda!

You win the first Writewraith Award!
(I don't know what it is ... but you won it)
What is the story about? Genre?

Elvellon · 11-18-2002, 03:40 PM

Congrats Miranda! Well done!

Fred Baggins · 11-18-2002, 08:41 PM

*Passes the mushrooms around* I figured the sentance out! Go me! And miranda! That's compleatly awsome!

Laurelyn · 11-18-2002, 09:12 PM

Congrats, Miranda!
Yeah, I'm a writewraith, and very proud of it too.
How many of you guys get totally freaked out by what you write cometimes? I wrote a short vignette earlier today. It's from the point of veiw of a serial killer, and it's really disturbing. My whole creative writing group said it was disturbing, so fortunately it's not just me. The whole thing scared me, even. It scares me what I come up with.
I'm real good at starting and planning the plots for stories, but then homework steals my time so I have a hard time finishing them. Also, I keep getting random new ideas!
I'm working on a rather long story that I've actually been writing for nearly two years now, on-and-off. It's getting harder and harder for me because my writing style has changed so much since I began work on it in the fifth grade. But I mean to keep at it, and finish it someday.
*Sigh*
Can't do an all-night-write today; have history test tomorrow.

Starr Polish · 11-18-2002, 09:26 PM

I, too, am a writewight, and am currently brewing a story that goes along these lines.

Quote:

What is the present? Is it merely a fleeting moment in time, only existing to become the past? The future is a cloud, a mist, or merely emptiness, which is full of uncertainty, and has not yet come into being, and it too cannot escape becoming the past. Neither can really exist, not truly. The only tangible thingthe only constant thing, is the past, and we are constantly told not to dwell on it. If we aren't allowed to look on what has happened to learn about ourselves, where are we to look? Not to the future, because it is known to none. Not to the present, for if it exists at all, its span cannot be measured.

Laurelyn, I do that all the time. I had a story, it was on ff.net for awhile, about a girl named Antigone (not from the myth) who was kind of insane, I suppose. It was fairly short and mainly contained her angry pseudo-pshyco teenage rants, until the end. Turns out she had hated her father and had killed him. Hadn't buried him or anything either.
