Writing Scraps

Short Story

Genre: Short Story. Just as the title says. I'll post scraps here to ease myself into a regular writing schedule in preparation for NaNoWriMo and beyond. Let's face it; I'm out of practice. I'll do writing prompts, steal writing styles, motifs, vari...

Introduction

Nothing major. Just a little place for me to warm up my writing muscles and get me into the flow of writing stories again. Prolifically and consistently. So don't expect anything "well written" here. Go to some other book if you want "well written" stuff. That's not the point of this book. This book is a personal challenge for me. It's the place where I can unleash the creative flow and push my writing and myself to the limit, possibly even beyond. In this book, should you have a guts to peer into it, you shall see the writings of a madman in the throes of creation and in the agonies of overcoming indecision and writer's block.

I shall do that with a warm-up writing session every day (or at least every other day) of 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 60 minutes writing however many words come out. Then I post the result. That is all. For me, writing is a passion, an agony, and a haven for me to escape from everyday life and dwell in the life of other worlds and other lives.

Also, from time to time, I'll include incomplete drafts of stories that didn't really take off at the end of this book as Appendices. Note that these additions will be quite rare, because I rarely give up on actual stories, unless I feel that I really don't have any motivation or ideas to continue them. It's sad, but it's a fact of the writer's life.

Look over these sad examples, and for you writers who feel that all they write are incomplete failures, trust me, you're not alone. I definitely feel your pain. So join me, should you dare to. Witness the growth of a writer before your eyes.

A/N: This book is for writers going through writer's block... Whether you are seeking ideas for stories, or seeking encouragement in your time of writer's constipation, or just want to look at the incomplete work of a fellow writer, this book is for you...

Oh, and for those needing ideas for your own story, by the power of the Wattpad gods, I hereby proclaim that these ideas are free to used in anyway you see fit... Ideas are a dime a dozen... It's the writer's craft that makes them unique...

Just let me know what ideas you're using... I might get curious and read some of your stuff... *wink wink* ( ^_^ )
