[This message has been edited by Merlin (edited 11-26-2001).] ------------------ Anyway, who'll go to the store for a kettle and some tea, and maybe something to heat the kettle with as well Hey, here's an idea, we could start a story here, I just forgot how to call it, such a story that one start and then another guy writes another piece, and then a 3rdc guy writes something, etc etc, idea? ------------------ The world can be as you want, when you are as the world wants you. ------------------ The world can be as you want, when you are as the world wants you. There, so the story will start in Dunc's living room, now we need names... I will be... hm... I got dosens of ideas, I'll come back to that later lol ------------------ The world can be as you want, when you are as the world wants you. ------------------ The world can be as you want, when you are as the world wants you. ------------------ The world can be as you want, when you are as the world wants you.

[This message has been edited by duncan (edited 11-29-2001).] So the floor is mine, good, anyone got a vacuum cleaner? Now I'll go think about that story... ------------------ The world can be as you want, when you are as the world wants you. I know what you mean about formatting pc's. Always takes time, deletes interesting files and leaves behind the unwanted ones. Good luck with the new format - does it work any better ? ------------------ The world can be as you want, when you are as the world wants you. ------------------ The world can be as you want, when you are as the world wants you.Fox Atreides I believe Gordon just kicked me in here... phew! look at all the dust! *Gets something to clean the dust away" *cough cough* And I already got a cold :-S...
-Matt-duncan I think you just did Fox.
Have you considered writing for a profession?Fox Atreides No not really, although when I was little I wrote many 2 page stories lol, and I even started a real book, some years ago lol (not that I got very far 
)
-Matt-duncan Maybe its not how far you got but that you tried.
Who knows, someday you might want to persue it further in collage.
Its good work if you can get it. hmmm... I think i remember R. Heinlein saying something like that in one of his books.
Light the fire and wheres the scotch, wooops!
how about putting the kettle on for some tea, you did say you had cakes. 
Merlin It's true - starting is always the highest hurdle to take if you're going to write a story. Doesn't matter if it should be a shortstory or a whole book. I did both while I was a student and now I do it almost every day as a newspaper journalist (well, not the books, but the stories).
But the difference is: There's no way of telling your editor that tomorrows frontpage will be blank because I couldn't kick myself hard enough in the back to write the first few words... Gordon Forward planning is the key, before you start writing plan the plot, create a structure of items or incidents, and have a purpose for each section. Create the bones and the flesh is easier to shape....sounds like something from Frankenstein now!
'Demeure par la verite'
Visit; Gordon's Scottish Castles Resource Page Fox Atreides Thats the problem, I always just have a vague clue in my head of what to write lol
-Matt-Fox Atreides You're getting over-excited duncie... Now who will start the story, of course it has to be in the middle ages, but fantasy is allowed
-Matt-duncan Well i see when i was editing my last post for spelling and my PC went down it took the post with it, no matter.
What fantasy fox?
I gave a description of my liveing room and the fireplace. Fox Atreides Thats your living room? Cool
Well, fantasy like Elves (not the tiny ones with wings and stuff, but Tolkien's elves ) I want to be one.
-Matt-duncan It's allright by me if thats what your be calling your self, Is it now one of the Daoine Sidhe or the Sidhe your wanting to be?
I never was sure of which Tolkien's elves were.Fox Atreides Hm, it happen that I never heard of those names lol, I just meant the type of elf, like not the smal flying ones, but the big ones as in tolkien's books. that type
-Matt-duncan Just to let you know that many different types of Elves were and are said to exist, of course depending on who you are speaking with and how many drinks they may have had.
The fair folk and the smaller ones of Fairy may prove interesting to you fox as you like Tolkien's Elves so well.Fox Atreides I know about the fairy elves, and I hate them lol
-Matt-duncan I think you may not have understood me to well fox, i was in reference as to Fairy being of Eld which is two names for the land of the Daoine Sidhe. Fox Atreides Hello people, I had to format my pc for stupid reasons (as always with computers) but now Im back
-Matt-duncan Try the broom in the corner behind the door.
Ware!!! it was used last night to clobber a skunk on the porch. Door to door salesmen are the worst type.AJR I have a vacuum cleaner - you're always welcome to use it. Fox Atreides Well I formatted the thing because my cd writer didnt work and blinked all day, and I couldnt figure what was wrong, but now I got the idea it blinks even faster and it still doesnt work (the occasional times that it does work the pc crashes :-S)
-Matt-duncan Sounds like the sound card in this thing.
At least your unit blinks.Fox Atreides Mind you, the blinking is not a good thing, it almost makes me blink myself, aaargh!
