I have not been able to write for a couple weeks. I don't consider it writer's block, this is related directly to mental things I deal with daily. But.
When you meet a guy, and decide to date, and without reading anything of yours, he does something exactly as you wrote in a romantic scene, it's totally points in his favor. Oh yes. :)
An innate sense for what you really like? Gotta be a plus. :)
I'm so excited! The final cover for The Fairytail Saga has been revealed! Coming out October 31st WOO HOO![ATTACH]15065
MermaidWhisperer- I'm not sure if you've seen this, but the latest installment in the Paranormal Activity film franchise (I won't watch it, the Howard the Duck demon in the first one sort of made me laugh my butt off) is being called The Marked Ones. It's the subtitle, but they're going to use it primarily in marketing, apparently.

Which could be really good for you... when people eventually start searching on it, your book could come up. You could get new readers you might not have reached. Woohoo! Kind of lucky for you. :)
Lol I have noticed that! Don't know if it works in my advantage though-I don't know if those people are 'my' people but will be interesting to find out!
Heads Or Tails goes live in 2 days. Cannot WAIT!

are now available for readers to sample. Please let me know what you think.
My first fanfic was for an anime called Mermaid Melody (which was actually the show that got me into anime in the first place). I'm working on a NaNoWriMo novel right now, about a boy who finds out he's a merman and a half-mer girl who lives in a family of hunters.
same here! it was mermaid melody that got me to watch anime and to look for it insted of what ever is on TV. god that was an awesome animeQuote:

^That sounds like a great idea. If I might make a suggestion, due to having seen a friend of mine having screenplays stolen right out from under his nose when he trusted a 'friend' with it, I'd suggest you keep it close to you if you can. Read some free online info about writing a screen play, write it in story form first, etc. There are so many free resources online for people learning to write.
I have a general question for you all. I was just curious, because my current writing is in first person present, and I'm thinking of changing it to another point of view. What POV do you all prefer? Do you prefer one over the other? Do you feel it depends on the story being told?
The writing is coming along here and there. I'm struggling more than I'd like, and I know some of it's just because I can't do the kind of solid writing hours I'd like to. Making time for what I can, and hoping to make more soon. It's important enough, of course, but I also have a lot of priorities of equal or even higher importance.
Luckily, one doesn't have to be good at something they love to pursue it as a part of one's life. :)
So I wrote a mer-themed book for NaNoWriMo and really like it (unedited and piece-y though it is, still). But... I'm trying to figure out how I want to proceed to edit it or if I want to edit it...
I'm writing a novel and short stories involving my own species of merfolk based on a dream and worked on. I'm pretty proud on my merfolk :)
NaNo has been a great launching point for many stories! Every first draft has to go through so much editing, anyway. :)Quote:

I admire all of you so much! Writing interests me so much, on the same level as drawing but everytime I begin a story, I don't
Know where to go from there. And I always never work on it again. And I usually start telling the story through 3rd person and it always wraps around into the 1st person? Most people who read what I write can't tell when I start using "I" instead of "he" or the character's name but It really bugs me.

I envy those who can draw! I've always wanted to illustrate my work, or make a graphic novel of it.
Have you thought of that? Take your story words into the realm you're comfortable with. You could create a mer comic, or collaborate with an author.
I have though of making a comic but I always run into a problem: it doesn't seem realistic enough to me.Quote:

(I usually have l the backstory but I always miss a problem or journey or something for the characters to actually do or fight against. So I've created this world with no reason antagonist or protagonist to duke it out within it. )And even though I try to create villains, I make them very very complicated until I've added so much that I can't write them as a villain anymore D:
