I know what you mean, but, none the less, i like your approach towards the problem.

Thanks for the props man. I'm really getting a good feeling about this crew.

You can become a regular or pop in and out anytime you like. I like reading your stuff!

Manic, yes i did see it. Sorry i didn't reply. Scrapping time just to get on here, but i like it. It sounds like a good story and i can't wait to read it and find out that ending you held from us.
I can't really relate to britian and Northern Ireland, but i am very intrigued.
I like how the main charcter f's up and tells all the names. It makes it a better story because it shows no one is perfect (just make sure to make him be tortured really bad so he has no choice but say or something). And it shows the main charcter or heroic figure has a weakness and isn;t this unstopable killing machine or w/e. It helps the reader relate the character, because all of us are weak in some respect.

Anyway, those were my thoughts. I can't say much else until i read it, but i can't wait.

On another note: Omg almost page 50... it was that long ago i was aying 'Hey, page 30!' ^_^

The shortest and newest poem of my collection. It hasn't been posted in LNL yes, but it will be soon most likely. And like all my poems is very metaphorical.
Here it is:

It all Begins
Fiction in Verse
By, K. Myst Williams

Drowning in a deep sea of glee,
Smiles and laughs; all except me.
Strangers cluster and rush.
All the world directed and busy, but me.
Adrift from the shore and unable to breath;
Lost and confused with no one to need.
I grieve.

my dear myst! The word you use should be "are" not "is" saying all my poems is very metaphorical make you sound like a wannabe rapper like Goldencat

Here it is:

Very nice. Only one problem with it IMo.

Smiles and laughs; all except me.

IMo it would sound better if there was a "For" in this sentence.

Smiles and laughs all except for me. thats just my opinion though.

Ya, punctuation error, i meant 'is' i just didn't put in proper punctuation. : P Silly me.
'And like all my poems, this is very metaphorical.' << that what i meant to type. Typos, plus not paying attention resulted in the mad chaos and rioting in the streets.

IMo it would sound better if there was a "For" in this sentence.

Smiles and laughs all except for me. thats just my opinion though.

ya, i know what you saying, but it takes away from the syllable sets, but i might just change it anyway.

Actually, you have been allowed to drink Alcohol, so long as someone else buys it for you since the age of 12. You still can't go and buy it yourself, until you are 18. Everything else is correct, though.

I agree, i am going to advertise our Rp, subtly, of course.

OMG PAGE 50! We have reached the milestone?

No one ever told me what happened to LordSkeletor, does anyone know? I might start posting in the book club again, maybe we can revive it?

Oh, well. Good riddence.. or... thats too bad. Whichever suites you best. But From Little Acorns is an amazing read. I honestly don't like the title, it makes me think of a dram, love story. If it ever gets published, you may want to cinsider changing the title to something my eye catching or though provoking. Acorns have never been exciting in my books. : P

Well, it was something that I read in a poem:

From little acorns,
Mighty oaks grow.

I forget the rest of the verse, but I intend it to be a chronicle of the career of the seven adventurers.

Oh well, maybe you should make both the lines your title, not just the first one. It would be more interesting that way and capture my attention, personally.

I have absolutely no clue at the moment. I'm not even sure if the gang is going to have started their first job, by the end of the second chapter yet, but I'm gunning for around 100,000 words for a starting point. If that doesn't look long enough, then I'll just carry on.

That is a decent length. I thought it was gonna end up twice that, but that is an average length. Most pop fiction novels hover around 115,000.
See you are different then me. You just write, i wish i could do that. I plan out each chapter, i create a descriptive plot outline and decide on the amount of words i must at least have in each chapter (soome chapters being different fro mthe next), i then lay out how many chapters per part and how many chapters there will be. And what the goal for each part and/or chapter is.
Like i got pages and pages of informtion for my novel Evemortal, just explaining what each chapter is about etc. I am crazy organized when iwrite, but anything else, i am a very unorganized person. Weird. : P
