SGI Short Workshop 2.1

But a plot isn't a story! I had an idea or two for it, but nothing that isn't too similar I realized to some other stuff I've seen, and I don't want to make a near copy of someone else's story, even unintentionally. If I can think of something, you'll know!

I think I'll use this topic to enter my first workshop.....got a little idea in my head.

Prrrr. Who....me? Write? Again?
Can trade ya a picture for your 1000 words?

Great! And please -- let's have another chapter of "Bolt from the Blue"!

Alright, this is not to win anything, or impress anybody. This is just a workshop piece in humble hopes of a few pointers about how to improve my writing.

I now have a new story in exactly 1000 words ready now about a power girl miffed and going vengeful on an 'ex', as per your request.

Where would you like it...exactly?

:?:

You're playing too? Oh I give up. :cry:

Um....let's review: "...Not to win anything or impress anybody..." If this is a contest of any kind: I withdraw from the judging. I'm just looking for a few good writing tips is all, especially from the folks who lfan sez hate my work. I'd humbly like to know what I could do better for them and I'm eager to learn from their wisdom.

Yeah, I've changed. A year of heartfelt CoH knocked the chip off my shoulder, and the whole 'extreme comics' movement afoot nowadays has humbled me greatly as an artist. I'm much more like the lives-to-serve "Clawshard" now than the spitfire "Pawscythe" I started with (if ya've met either in-game).

I'll e-mail mine in on the deadline to avoid distorting anything if this is a contest. Thanks for the instructions, UG, and please take courage and finish your entry to this endeavor. I wasn't going to read or critique anybody else's, but I'd at least like to read yours.

And the rest of you: write on.

Wuv,
-White Paw.

Hey, WP and UG, this is a friendly competition. We're all writing the best stories we can. There's no harm in losing, and nothing but the honor of picking the next topic in winning. The best part is creating stories around a theme we all like and then sharing comments afterwards.

So please, the more entrants the better.

Very well, ladies and gentlemen. I will enter the event, and endeavor to compose a second entry by the deadline if it will help your noble efforts.

Write on.

Love,
White Paw

Well, I hate to sound wishy washy, but I changed my mind about the name of my story. Anyone wanting to use "A Superwoman Scorned", it's fair game. After finishing, I changed my title to something more specific to the content.

Anyway, I'm done. My story's around 1750 words, so I'd like to be left out of the voting. As I said, it wouldn't be fair to those who follow the rules. But I still want to know what everyone thinks once they've read it, especially since it's the first story I've completed, after starting several.

Looking forward to reading everyone else's stories,

YAGS

Is that GMT?

We're on BST, Arg. Five hours ahead of you.

I don't know about admin, but if you're five hours late, I'd wait around.

I know....i've went through two story arc ideas in my head, plsu i'm now working fulltime which is a pain in the arse....i didn't post the rest of emergence because i've grown to hate it...i'll reformat it anyway and send it in to finish it off though. As for this workshop....i'm going to finish it tonight hopefully...if not, then tomorrow morning.

Almost done. Just need to read it a few more times to get the typos out and correct a couple of things. Will finish after work tomorrow. I should be able to have it submitted by 0500 Zulu Friday am. I will be a lot closer on the time than the word count (just under 3400).

0500 Zulu Friday

"Zulus, sir! Thousands of 'em!" (One for the movie buffs - there's a clue in there somewhere...)


Why don't we create a new Time Zone for these workshops. We could combine GMT with PST to make "PMT". No-one would dare piss about with that.

It's always SWM time.

This 1000 word limit is quite fun....i sat writing for an hour last night, just to do the dumping part of the exercise....and ended up with 560 words!!!

Nearly there....1044 words...some little edits and you'll have another entry.

One more day!!!! Pleeease! :shock:
