Writing Reviews

This is the first chapter of a story I've been writing and any comments would be truly welcome. It's the first I've really tried to write that isn't fan-fic, and although friends tell me that it's ok friends judgements are rarely unbiased! So yeah, here goes. Path to Redemption Chapter 1 In the Dark Her gloved ...

Okay, I know this is really cheesy but I wrote it quite a while ago and I remember that I was trying to write something resembling a John Woo style but it came out all wrong. But comments are appreciated even if they are bad. 1. EXT ROAD - (LOS ANGELES) - AFTERNOON A Birds eye view reveals two cars on a main highway. One ...

this might be a bit of a laugh. I want to try and train my writing skills by writing a short story, as i have never really tried this before (check my humourous attempt "what annoys me? find out!" for the only other, although it is based on fact.) Unfortunatly due to todays tv based culture my mind is blank, and so i am ...

One critic suggests that Ophelia is an innocent pawn. The evidence for such a suggestion can be seen in the context of the Elizabethan times. As a young noble woman of that time, she is at the mercy of her father; Polonius whose instructions to her demand unquestioned obedience. Being unmarried, she has the obligation of preserving her virginity ...

I am currently writing a novel, and after several initial attempts I have now found the storyline that I am most comfortable with. As I am no longer going to continue this novel (shown below) I thought I would share with you as far as I got with it. In the end I decided that it wasn't really going where I had in mind so my novel has been totally ...

Writing a novel It’s a big subject; it’s a lot of hard work. It’s a minefield but at the same time it is rewarding and sometimes great fun to do. I don’t know that I am in a position to hand out advice really but maybe if I recount our experience then maybe that will be advice of a sort, perhaps. It was at the start of ...

There’s a potential author in most people that write reviews, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. But how many of you consider that you can write and not just reviews? If you’re happy just writing reviews then I’ll say “well done and carry on the good work.” But there are many of us who long to become authors and haven’t the least clue of ...

When I was at school, I was always good at writing compositions, the best mark I ever got was for an atmospheric piece with the title ‘At the cemetery on All Souls’ Day’. I still remember stumbling along the paths between the graves because a heavy fog had descended and bumping into a classmate who was also doing research work for the assignment. ...

WRITE FOR AN AUDIENCE Poetry is a great way to express your emotions and also to purge emotions onto paper. Unfortunately, this isn’t always interesting to readers. You may have read your poetry to lots of people who say things like “mmmm interesting” or “that’s nice” but no one has really told you whether it is outstanding or just ...

CHAPTER ONE It was light when I went out. How can it turn so dark in just 30 minuites?None of the street lights were working. Walking Nell at night. How could I be so stupid? I was freezing and really scared. Nell was shaking like jelly. She was my dog. Heart thumping, I started making my way home, Nell by my side. I could hear ...

Writing is the main reason most people participate in this site. It's funny but everybody has different reasons for writing. Some feel a powerful urge to unleash their thoughts onto paper; others simply want to report facts; others still use writing as a basic but effective form of communication. The curious thing about "writing" is that ...

WRITING Mmm what shall I write about writing? Does the title mean writing as in writing a book, or does it mean writing as in handwriting? Or does it mean writing written by someone else?
