Another theorist! Phenomenal!

I would LOVE to have written an entire dissertation on this, but i was limited to 7 pages (and still ended up with 10). Had I more room, I probably would have detailed and laid-it out a little better. But thank you! I really appreciate ALL your responses.

What you are forgetting is that it is not possible for one realm to enter another. Current theory states that it would take all the energy in a known universe to open a hole small enough for a few particles to pass through - and that's about it. However, particles in this realm know what is...

I have a wealth of writing knowledge. If anyone needs any help, feel free to ask.

Writing for Television and Sitcoms Writing for television is very competitive and difficult, even taking to consideration that you'll be working with a team of eleven other writers. But the pay-off is well worth it. MARIE: These breadsticks are old. FRANK: Well, you are what you eat! MARIE...

2nd Time Back: Poetics Aristotle. His doctrine entitled Poetics has become the founding work on which all works are based. Imagine, if you will, a guide on how to write ANY STORY. Such is the work of Aristotle. Your story is like a newly carved piece of wood. It's choppy, blocky, and rough...

1st Time Back Okay. You've caved-in and humbled yourself enough to break your work down and make it better. Now what to do? The first step is to do a read-through. Read your entire work in one sitting. If this is not possible (for example, you're rewriting a novel), then get the first act...

If Your Work is Perfect... ...then don't read this article, or any other article. In fact, stop reading altogether because you know it all. Those who are willing to humble themselves (including myself; I'm not above you) can press-on. After months of blood, sweat, and tears, you complete...

10 Keys to Great Story Scenes DOES IT MOVE THE CHARACTER AND PLOT FORWARD? - Often, scenes are removed because they just don't belong. If it doesn't move anything in the story, its best to cut it out. NEVER TELL WHAT YOU CAN SHOW. - Moving lips are boring. If people wanted to listen, they'd...

Broadening Your Inspirations: Music In order to broaden your options when writing, you must open yourself up to new inspirations. Music is a good place to start when broadening your tastes. The word "music" itself derives from "muse". But how do you expose yourself to new tastes? By the time...

Plagiarism I always find people telling me, “Okay, I’ll tell you. But you have to promise not to steal the idea,” So I’ve decided that this issue warranted an article. A common fear for the beginning writer is the theft of work. You pour yourself out into the story. Your life is in the pages...

Why Isn't it Working? One of my friends brought a handful of pages to me. She said something was wrong. When I asked here what the problem was, she couldn’t point it out to me. All she could say was “Something isn’t working”. This is a common issue. Her story was about a teen forced to move...

I found that often running a game has little to do with knowing the rules and much to do with telling a story (at least in my successful games). Sure, often players are introduced as children with search-kill-loot-search-kill-loot, but as one gets older, one often finds the best games are those...

I can completely respect that, and I completely concur that neither you nor I are attempting to reach the "my way is better than yours" conclusion. However, does it not seem to you that some of the rules such as the feats that "skin" magic should be ignored? It certainly seems to me a waste of...

Yes, but as every game should be: all rules are optional. Remember the days of OD&D? That's when I started. That's how I grew up. There was not a rule for everything and the game was still a mystery. We had to invent ways to handle situations and GM's have to wing-it creating just as much...

Ok. THAT was funny - And this is what I want: creativity. Let's hear some more!

Completely understandable. The only reason I mention wrench is because my Star Wars Sullistan Mechanic uses a gigantic wrench as a club.

LOL Add insult to injury?
