any writers?
I've been working on my writing a lot lately and im to the point where I am churing out stuff every night.
I have two posters who also write some who I've been able to get good feedback from and another one gave me two awesome places on the web to submit some of my stuff and get some professional feedback. I really have no clue what im doing so the more I get the better I think. Any writers here? any tips for improving? Sites you visit? places you submit your work. Anything and everything appreciated. For the first time in probably forever I feel like I have a hobby I enjoy. |

Re: any writers?
being in the blogosphere has been good for me - getting positive feedback -
I have no idea how to turn writing into a career, but between songs, the blog, and internet forums, I stay busy enough... RB |

Re: any writers?
yeah I have no desire to ruin another hobby by turning into a career but I would like to get good at it though.

I'm going to send in 2-3 things this week. and the second is Max Berry's where he will apparently respond to emails and give feedback well. Both sound very cool and something I want to do. |

Re: any writers?
It is very short, so reading it requires a very small investment in time. It also doesn't cost much. As far as utility, buying it and reading it was the best decision I've made so far. I still read it cover to cover now and then just to stay sharp.

Re: any writers?
I've been a professional writer for over 15 years...screenplays, mostly ...and no, I'm not talking porn! You're doing the right thing - writing! Only way to improve. Also, read - a lot. All kinds of stuff.
If you're doing short stories, there are plenty of places to submit...check out the Writer's Market Guide. There's also tuns of other resources out there - just Google it. As for getting feedback - maybe a college course, a writer's network in your area, etc. Just keep writing! |
