Writers Thread

Since there isn't one on this board, I figured I'd start one.

Post writers groups that other might be interested in, works of yours, spread story ideas or discuss old/new-bloods of interest.

Currently, Camp NaNoWriMo is going on, and while I can't stand the pro-LGADNXTVS-blah-blah aspect of NaNo as a whole, I'd be lying if I said the event itself hasn't helped me get a few ideas off the ground and on the cusp of being published.

This is great!

What kind of material are you working on?

AgentZero 2017-07-02 17:39:39 UTC #3

Two novels currently, both werewolf themed. The first is under edit and the second is in the first draft stage; I'm working on the latter for this current Camp NaNo, along with two short stories.

(Though neither are published yet, I do have EPUB/MOBI/PDF versions with ten chapters from the first novel: http://silverwerewolf09.deviantart.com/art/Werewolf-Tale-Updated-Chapters-Sample-and-E-PUB-454073531)

Otherwise, I'm currently reading the Kindle sample of your novel. So far, I'd say you hit the nail on the head with how you've depicted the violent 'protesters' everyone has put up with, or more tolerated, so far. (My DA account has a similar story, The ANTIFA Plague, if you're interested.)

Thanks!

I saw the artwork on your link, but what do I have to click to get to the first chapter?

Yes, where do I find your antifascist story?

You're welcome. From the sound of it, you don't have .pdf support for the browser you're using. That's why only the art shows.

For the .pdf file, look on the right side of the page. You should see a 'Download' button. That opens a new tab, usually, with the .pdf and the option to save; there should also be some text below the art with a download link. The other formats are linked in the description.

And the ANTIFA story is here: http://silverwerewolf09.deviantart.com/art/CreatorsVersusFascism-The-ANTIFA-Plague-670574003 - The description and comments are as much a joy, I think.

Looks interesting, and it's hard to beat open source. I'll check it out too.

General advice, though: Even if you don't have a lot of time, a few paragraphs a day, or a few new ideas on paper, is still progress.

Write a few things such as short stories to get your gears oiled, then if you like the hobby, move onto novels or novellas, or just stick with short stories and compile them.
