It was as if something had hit the planet. The world was mindless; they just followed the order of the biggest authority that there was available. The people moved around like animals with no energy. They couldn’t move on their own. They walked heavily and without an aim. The Secret Army was looking for those that would rebel. Those that hid from the regime led by The Shrouded One. They asked people to stay inside for now, until all major buildings are checked. People were als

Doesn't phase me as i had braces myself at a young age

Constantly. I always come up with new ideas which mean (usually) I have to rework the whole plot of a story. Eg. Take 'House No. 654' - i had 10,000 words for the story and then I changed one element in the story (removing a part of the plot arc) and BOOM! I had to change the rest of the story in its planning stages. Rewriting is good I'll admit it, with stories that are completed like Angel (62,000 words), i find it very hard to pin point where I need to change! Darn attention span of a goldfish...

More of a focused update here. Womans Game 2: Posting begins 23rd September for 7 weeks (Nov 4th - Last week) After November 4 - i shall be posting a BRAND NEW story!! Its title is: 'House No. 654: London's Best Little Whorehouse' Pearce takes pen to paper and decides to tell his story. He didn't know how anyone would take it; but it was time for the world to know what happened to him inside House 654. The plan is for the story to be finished by November 1st and then have it edited so I can start posting it on the 18th November for 10 weeks (January 20th 2013 - Last Week). So lots of new updates for GA in terms of my work and for a longer period In addition to this, I shall be posting a short story towards the end of October with help from a few other authors. I also plan to participate in all of the 2013 anthologies. Also, I shall be posting the results from my creative writing class at uni on GA So all good news and so excited to share what I have with you all! Love Johnathan Colourfield xx

I seldom drink - i dont really like alcohol that much. But i do like white wine and cherry wine is my absolute favourite. Although Mimosas sound very nice...

Welcome back Matt! We missed you

Welcome to GA dear If you get 5 posts you can join the chatroom and theres always someone in there well usually

I'd just like to throw in my two cents I suggested the activity to try to get people to work outside their comfort zones within creative writing skills. Not as an idea to get something that is publishable. Potraying information that the characters know and them actually 'learning' is a difficult thing to grasp and alot of the time not even the best authors can manage to pull it off effectively without a hitch. Author Narrative is an interesting topic because alot of books that I have read and have been influenced by use said style. Harry Potter is the first one that comes to mind: Alot of the time the narrator will come in and interupt with ideas or concepts. She does that for 7 books And she's one of the best selling authors that have ever lived So its not a case of that it is wrong or not good to use because authors have great sucess using it Then again, I will admit alot of my stuff uses Author Narrative simply because the story line would be way too long without it. Take Womans Game for example: If i didn't use the narrators voice at some points - they would still be stuck on like page thirty wondering what to do with themselves with this new world leader I feel that the ideas that I suggested also not only develop skills; They also allow authors to get to know their characters better. If they don't know the answer to a situation - doing a short role play exercise like this could help them get out of a tight jam Not all things must develop 'publishability'; they also need to work on the skills ground before writing can even begin Sorry my english degree (well working towards!) kicked in there

(hug) for yettie

Hi Guys! I had an idea for a creative writing exercise - hope Renee/Wayne dont mind me suggesting one! This is something I came up with whilst working with another author on their story ** So before we begin, pick 3 characters from one of your stories. E.g. i would choose Semyaza as character one, Pharzuph as character two and Cheryl as character three - All characters from Trust me... i'm an Angel. The Challenge: Part 1: Some authors have issues with using multiple perspectives without realising it. So my challenge is to write a 200-300 word flash story from the perspective of Character One. Make sure it contains information, at some point, that several other characters would know. Part 2: Simple enough. But then after writing this section: rewrite the same section from the perspective of Character Two - but using the same information. Part 3: The final part to this exercise, is to take Character Three and get them to recount the information - but to both of the characters with them responding and thinking. Also, this must be written in third person perspective. Not from the character, but from the narrative voice. ** Part 1 challenges the author to write from 1st person perspective. Part 2 challenges the author to write from 1st person perspective, but delves a little deeper into skills. Part 3 challenges the author to use this information in 3rd person, but also through the eyes of a character. This part challenges the perspective hop - making sure you dont talk from the perspective of the characters, even though it feels natural to do so. One thing you may notice is with each part: your sections get longer and longer! Have fun with this one! I'm going to have a go later on!

Hope you had a good day!

Finally got a chance to have a go at an exercise! ** The object I’m thinking of probably won’t seem very special to you guys, but I guess most things don’t. This object is something that my mum wears. It’s a golden locket on a golden chain with two pictures inside. Not really something that major but I guess it means a lot to me because it’s a photo of me and then of my brother. My family means a lot, even though I mean a lot. It feels as if I’m always here, in that locket, when I’m away. I guess its comforting for my mum as well when I am away. It’s only a small little thing, but you know what they say: big things start in small places.
