CoLeYy Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 whoOO hOooOo Maybe i Should start Writing again..
Lugh Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 I sorta have to agree... this is a very positive atmosphere to explore various topics in literature. The feedback is really nice too.... thanks to everyone who has done so -- for anyone. And KEEP READING! Lugh
LittleBuddhaTW Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 I've also really enjoyed my time here so far, and everyone has been very friendly and supportive. At first, I just came here to read DomLuka's stories, but then started participating in the Domaholics forum, then started up a blog, and finally decided to do some writing of my own ... and it's all been a lot of fun. So, thank you to everyone at GA for all the hard work you do! LBTW
AFriendlyFace Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 I agree this is such a teriffic place!! Group Hug!! Now if I could just remember to go into the live chat.....I only seem to think about at really obscure times when no one's around.
TheZot Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Now if I could just remember to go into the live chat.....I only seem to think about at really obscure times when no one's around.Ah, but remember the rule for group chat -- the probability that someone enters the chat goes up with the number of people in the chat. (I've yet to decide whether it's a fixed constant per person or not) The more people in it, the more likely someone new'll show up. That means if you want someone to chat with, even if the chat room's empty go pop in and hang around for a while -- there's a good chance that someone else who feels like maybe chatting will drop in because they see there's someone in already. The room speaks a "Welcome" when someone new shows up, so you can minimize the window and still know that there's someone else who's arrived, assuming you've got sound turned on in the chatroom (which is the default) and your computer's sound is enabled. -Dan
viv Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Apologies for my belated response... but I was in the snow! ALL weekend! Brrrrrrr! Well, I am absolutely LOVING writing and the responses I get from the readers is awesome. I've heard things like 'what a great story' to 'I NEED more now!' and people saying that they can relate or have experienced similiar things in their own lives. Whatever the reason they're enjoying it or reading it, doesn't really matter, as long as in the end it helped them in some way, by either bringing a smile to their face or letting them feel again, or just for entertainment. There are a lot of great authors popping up all over the place and I know, I for one was definitely nurtured and motivated by another author so, I really try to do the same! There is so much support and communication here and that makes it even better because we can talk to each other, support each other. Thanks for the warm welcome, and kind words I have received... even if I am a girl Hugs, Viv
wep363 Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 I'm gettin cranked up to do some writing again too. Been tossing around a story line for months now. I will need to find an edior but i'll never replace Ed W. He was a superstar. I miss him.
AFriendlyFace Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 I wish I'd write something. I have all these ideas for things I'd like to write about, and often I mentally make up a whole set of characters and a story line; I just never seem to be able to sit still long enough to actually write it
AFriendlyFace Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Well, Kevin, there's this Story Anthology thing coming up ... as a matter of fact, here's what you wrote in the Anthology theme poll thread:Is that a little Freudian slip there? I don't want to put you on the spot, but should I issue a little challenge to you? Kitty LOL Kitty! I think I'd be a little nervous to try with something so many people would read, but thanks for giving me something to think about...I guess if inspiration did strike I'd try to submit something
