Hi Justin,
Nice to meet you. I know exactly what you mean with trying to keep your ideas focused and grammar being an issue. *points at himself* has the same issues also.
I look forward to reading you work and hope you stick around on the site I am sure I can dig up plenty of fantasy stuff for you to tear apart for me if you want lol.
Cheers for the great introduction.

I take criticism pretty well, I think. I haven't shared my writing with anyone who would give anything but positive feedback. That can kind of give a false impression. I hope she is right, but only publicly sharing some writing will tell the true answer to my question.
Can I write?
If I can write, can I make a story?
These are things I hope to find out.

Sounds exciting; can't wait to read what you have written. I am inspired by the speed at which you have moved! I have to borrow a leaf from you and make time even if there is just never enough of it!!
Cheers

Hey Justin,
I know what you mean about grammar. I've been writing here and there for years and the most grammar I got taught was during school hours but as you say there are plenty of professional writers who are the same.
Looking forward to reading your work.

Grammar is also my biggest downfall. I've also have be working for a year or so trying to get my thoughts together. The research and reading on how I should go about writing the novel and also I've got two going at the same time. They say only work on one at a time but I don't want to give up either one. Unfortuantly I can't afford to buy the MyNovel but I try and put it's concepts in practice. Fantasy is also my favorite though I try and read other stuff also just to get a feel for them.

It isn't so much the concepts that are in MyNovel that help me so much, it's the organization that it provides. I can quickly access any notes that I have marked down for any person, place, object, chapter. The program gives a nice format start your work with.
I won't say it is perfect, but it has increased my productivity 200%. I'm positive that with the help of this tool I will be able to finish a story for the first time. I'm getting pretty excited about my story. I have the outlines for 18 chapters completed and I think there will be 4 maybe 5 more to go. Then I'll be able to create my new world.
