[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 2192711, member: 11300"] Hi Sep, You most probably don't know me because I've never posted on your thread or anything - although I have read your story at least four times and thoroughly enjoyed it. I feel a little silly offering advice considering all the great Enworld SH Authors that have written on this thread already to the most famous writer here - your good self. However and besides, I shall continue with poor grace. Essentially what I suggest is this: write three paragraphs [b][i]only![/i][/b] Then press New Reply, copy it over and hover the arrow over the Submit Reply button. Let the thought of sliding it slightly right to the Preview Post filter through your mind and try and resist it. Then press the Preview Post button anyway. Give it a quick read out aloud making sure you have not performed some embarrassingly mundane grammatical error or spelling mistake and then before your brain can scream [i]"no"[/i], press the Submit Message button. However, believe it or not, this is the easy part. The hard bit is writing three more paragraphs no more than two days later. Let them sit for a couple of days and then submit it again. Keep doing this. I think there are two things you have lost you see. The first is the habit of writing a storyhour. You're out of shape. You're SH writing-fitness is up the ****. The second though is the most important. If you do what I suggest though, this one will come. You'll remember and realise that you actually have a damn good story worth writing. I suggest this to you most humbly. Best Regards Herremann the Wise PS: [pimp] I can't let the opportunity go by not to pimp my SH to THE writer of story hours. If you are of a mind and have a spare moment - check out The Happenings of Lucifus Cray and make comment if you feel sufficient motivation. Like yourself, my style has been heavily influenced by the creative genius of Jack Vance. While I'm nowhere near in his (or your) league yet - I hope to eventually get there one day. Have a read, if only to screw up your nose, turn to your SH and show me how it's REALLY done. :) Hope to hear from you soon. [/pimp] [/QUOTE]
