Re:Hi, everyone - 02/19/2007Hey Jim, great to have you here. It's good to see another fiction writer. It takes some work, but it can be very fun. Reading the articles helps a lot. I like to take something that has some truth, at least some reference to what I know about and then turn it into something interesting. It doesn't even have to be anything monumental to start from. I grew up on a farm. So I have been working on a story that center's around dirt. Think that sounds weird, it's a suspense. Have fun. LOL

One day soon, thanks to global warming, Missouri will again be an inland sea, and we'll zip about on our catamarans.

Re:Hi, everyone - 02/10/2007Hey Jim,
Welcome! I'm glad you're having a great time... yeah, writing fiction is very different from non-fiction, but The Pope was great!
Thanks for stopping by at the forum. It seems that our newer members haven't quite found it yet, but hopefully everyone will soon find their way here.

Hi, everyone - 02/10/2007I joined WriteSpot a few weeks ago. I posted a story and found it listed as the Writer's Showcase (The Pope) in the latest newsletter. Wow. My writing experience to date was non-fiction (articles, newsletters, manuals, training materials).
My goal for the new year is to learn how to write good fiction. I look forward to trading ideas with the community.
Jim
