pattricia   575 #1 Posted July 28, 2006 The Hand in the Mist.  I don't know whether this will work because although the writers group has said my story has been Uploaded, Im not sure about this copying & pasting business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jabberwocky   46 #8 Posted August 5, 2006 Well thats something,coming from "the Governor" himself. Thought you were never going to read it.! :hihi: I didnt see it because the title was short, my eyes are so nasty that anything less than 7 or 8 words long are as good as invisible to me, they dont catch my eye unless I look close to the screen. However, I remembered that you had a story here and I hunted for it!  And I loved it, it was an excellent piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I realised though that you & Hazel write a lot of fact,which seems to flow more easier than fiction doesnt it .? It does! I tried fiction but I get easily bored with it. Again its because Im lazy, and dont really have a very fertile imagination, its easier to write something that actually happened because then all the work is done for you. With fiction, you have to practically invent an entire world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

With fiction, you have to practically invent an entire world. I found I could write excellent fiction as a schoolgirl,and won competitions for it,but as you get older you lose your imagination,as life gets harder and you get more cinical. Do you find that ?I wonder how professional writers go on ?Can you imagine having a successful novel, and having to follow it up ?
