    Beginning = Interesting?

    echoing others thoughts, i felt this idea contained a lot of potential for development. for example, you could have the boy as a known insomniac, prone to disobeying curfew. Then have him meet the supposed dark sorcorer, who recognising the boy offers him the kindness of a nights sleep, except...

    Technical question!

    depends on what you mean, but yes each computer announces itself to a network by sending out its netbios name. also every network card ytou have has a unique mac address and when you join a network this is recorded. With certain software your processes can be monitored as well, key logging...

    a question about a difficult situation

    maybe you should imply an instability in his character before hand, perhaps his obsession with fatherhood because of hi slack of a paternal influence. If his obsession with the idea of fatherhood was also the reason for his gf's abortion that could push him into a depression, and from there you...

    Is it Show or Tell?

    This is such a common place were novels can fall down because its so much to do with personal choice. I think though one of the best authors to perfectly show a great balance is david gemmell. now i know some people are probably thinking, really? but if you read gemmell he has some of the most...

    Collaborative Efforts

    never been involved in something like that to the same extent you are talking about. But i try to get me GF to be involved in my writing by bouncing ideas off of her and getting grammar checks when she has the time. It works really well most of the time. All i wanted to say was, good luck:)

    The Assassin

    honestly mate, i didnt like it. an assassin against ten soldiers doesnt stand much chance. the writing felt very rushed as well, with you pointing and directing to much. There was a very unnatural flow to the piece because of this. plus your character is too superhuman for his own good...

    How do I let my character travel from a fantasy world to....

    Maybe he should be killed, then this could be hell. i have been toying with wriitng a very standard fantasy novel in the opposite of this, with someone from our world travelling to a fantasy world. I know its been done before but i would do it solely for the writing, with little or no...

    Wolfblood - Intro

    a few mistakes in grammar and some strange sentence structure. if you mention someones name and they arent the subject of the sentence you need a comma. all in all farlan, MEANS all in all farlan. what is a farlan? it should read all in all, farlan. you see the difference? her name isnt...

    Wolfblood - Intro

    Fat drops of rain sluiced down from the angry grey sky, turning what, minutes before, had been a wide and passable stretch of track into little more than a muddy bog. better? maybe. its a question of reading it out loud. if you stutter as you read it, then it doesnt work. if it flows its good...

    question about a scene in my novel.

    good points. i think you have to decide who your target audience is. if you are writing a book aimed at adults with dark tones then feel free to describe it and the aftermath, but take care that it fits the tone of the book and know that after that scene your book will be dominated by that...

    What Do You Think Would / Should Open The Gate To Hell

    how about a simple act of pure evil intent or will. a good character doing something wrong and the consequences being dire. sort of like the moral fibre is so shocked it finally collapses under the strain. or how about hell being an orbital prison encapsulated in the sun and someone sends a...

    The Sentinels

    only one thing beyond what jd said to add. blood tastes and smells of iron, that you mention iron as the scent of the wind, and copper as the blood is confusing to me. It sort of stuck in my mind for the rest of the piece, which was good overall!!!
