Reading Excuses / deckacards - 01/26/09 - Prologue
« on: January 25, 2009, 12:42:49 AM »
Here it is...my first topic and submission...there's no title, yet (and the working title suddenly seemed to have an unintended sexual inuendo to it - "King's Wood" - so I didn't use it...except I just told you...ah well), so I just named it Prologue.

Thanks for the help!

Sweet!

I'm on it...

(cue rapid and stressful typing...perhaps a bit of sweating...)

nice!

But...I thought I joined a writing group...not a fraternity...???

It's all good though...towel snappers, however, will be subject to swift retribution (this typically takes the form of eternal obscurity in purgatory...otherwise known as "a typical writing gig on my blog").

Oh...and the name is "deckacards"...as in "the only lame St. Louis Cardinals related username left on Wordpress when I started my first blog"...(I'm kind of a baseball nut)...but, hey...it's an identity...

I would love to submit something on Monday...do I just need to get it formatted correctly and email it out Monday morning (or Sunday night...) using the email list?

Thanks!

Um...okay...there's a lot of information in Reading Excuses...so, I've temporarily suspended my attempt to "catch up" in order to sign up instead.

I'm new here...Reaves generously told me about the group...and I've read the submission guidlines and as many rules as I can find...and it seems I simply need to submit an email address and a request to be added...?

So...here you go...



If possible, I would like to sign up to both read/review and submit.

Thanks!

Cool, and welcome to you! I don't know if you'd be interested, but some of us have set up a writing group here. We submit and review pretty much anything you'd care to send in. Just log in at the top and you'll see it: its toward the bottom, called Reading Excuses.

Thanks! Sounds great...

Um...I'm currently wading through the Reading Excuses threads that seem relevant...trying to figure out how to get started, the final rules, etc.

Interested in both reviewing and submitting...

I'm new here, so just looking for places to chime in...

Current Project: Fantasy novel that's been in the works (on again, off again...) for several years...finally figured out where I want the story to go so most of my recent breakthroughs are layout related...the story is driven by the concept of redemption and bringing the story of several characters separated by hundreds of years of history and purpose together to redeem their own cultures through unified purpose and each other...

The biggest problem I have when writing combat is keeping track of all the characters involved without writing a detailed manifesto...balancing pace with description and enough chaotic content is difficult.

by the way...I'm new here...
