    Character Creation Chain

    TheAndra was a girl that liked to walk. She also was a girl that liked to talk. Whilst she'd chew your ears for hours, picking benches of pretty flowers, TheAndra loved nothing more than to spend a summer day, day dreaming in her mind as she meandered. Ok, it needs work... JULIE BLINKY

    Pseudonym or not? What's yours?

    I could go anonymous and use the name I like to give the police when they ask. PC: "Name please sir" Me: "My names Nonya" PC: "Nonya what?" Me: "Nonya Business"

    Pseudonym or not? What's yours?

    Do you use a pseudonym? (A pen name) Strangely enough, some people have no other choice for reasons that are out of their control. I, like Winston Churchill share our names with people that already have their own work published. He was not just a Prime Minister. He was also a published...

    Time Travel (The pitfalls)

    I'm sure, like most writers, a plot line can change at the drop of a hat (or pen for that matter) So, having consider the ramifications of being caught with technology that won't be invented for 30 years, I have decided to drop that premise. When you're trying to keep it as real as possible...

    Time Travel (The pitfalls)

    Reading all that makes my head hurt. The how and the why are not a problem when I'm considering the story. I just wake up in my bed as a 14 year old boy. But I'm thinking of writing it as if I actually did arrive back in 1985 (lets pretend, tomorrow morning). I'd have to keep it quiet for 7...

    When is it acceptable to 'data dump'?

    One way I found a way around data dumping was in the form of TV News reports, literature and posters within the story's universe. John read the poster on the wall. "Vote fascism for a 3 term" it demanded.

    Chosen Ones not being quite as outstanding as one might expect...

    I don't think the addition of a towel would necessarily define him as the chosen one. He was just the last one. Oh, and before you ask, the answer is 42.

    Time Travelling

    Instead, indeed. But I shouldn't really be researching my book on this forum so I've opened one in the writers discussion forum called TIME TRAVEL (THE PITFALLS)

    Time Travel (The pitfalls)

    I'm researching a book idea I've had about time travel. One of the biggest problems with going back in time is obviously the butterfly effects, but as yet I'm not sure if I want the character to even care about them. My biggest issue is if the protagonist is found out and caught what would they...

    Time Travelling

    I've even sent a communication to Oxford Uni's Theoretical Physics dept asking questions because I think that's where they'd send me. Not Hawkings but some one far enough down the food chain to ask around.

    What was the last movie you saw?

    If Heinz Beanz ran an advert on TV saying "Their beans will make you look sexy to anyone that smells your fart's" it would get thrown off the aid for false advertising BUT when a movie trailer convinces you that the film will be enjoyable, there are no repercussions when its a total bank of...

    Time Travelling

    Thanks for your input. I've got to start thinking outside of the box. The trick would be, to go public before the men in white coats get you first.
