Hey Everyone,

Well, I've put The Netherworlds on hold for a while to write my new story Tell City. I know some people are annoyed by this, but I have two chapters of it so far and am working on the third. It's flowing easier with the way I am writing right now. I think I will save writing The Netherworlds until my writing style is more mature in its development. And, on the plus side, I feel like I can actually finish Tell City decently soon at the rate I am writing it. I have a goal for it to be mostly wrapped up by the end of the year. We'll see. Pray for the best.
I'm trying to set one day a week for writing. Wednesday seems to be my day (In my head I'm making jokes about Neil G.'s character, Wednesday (aka Odin) from American Gods (my favorite book). So if anyone else gets that joke I'll give you a llama...
Anyway.
I won a daily lit deviation for a short piece of prose I wrote a few years ago. Suicide Rout. Made my day. And it was featured for the week in Get Watchers. Yay awesome!
I'm trying out putting my work on writerscafe.org. It's working out well so far and its set up reminds me very much of deviant art, so it is familiar enough to navigate, and it is solely for writing, which I like.
I get distracted very easily by the pretty pictures and paintings on this here website.
I've been toying around with the idea of forming an actual blog or linkedin or something to get my work further out there, but I'm not too sure where to start or how to start. I have enough passwords to remember already, and technology can often times be my arch enemy. So if y'all have advice I'm open to it.

Also, if you haven't had a chance to check out the first two chapters of Tell City please do. I'm curious for some critiques on the structure of the story. And if there is something you would like critiqued right back shoot me a message and I will be more than glad to return the favor.

Quick Question

Hey Deviants, quick question...

So for some of my longer prose I'm wanting to get some serious, hard-core feed back from multiple places. What are some other websites like Deviant that I could check out???

The concept of Heaven and Hell is the same principle as praise and punishment. Its what we use to train our dogs and children, and it's what medieval government used to train the masses. Nothing more; nothing less, and it worked rather well. But, despite how well fear tactics work, its been proven that praise works much more efficiently than punishment. So if the Christians that yell at you as you walk through campus want to bring more stray sheep to the Holy Light, they should consider screaming about the Holy Light, not of Hell fire. I think they could "save" many more people that way. But then isn't that purely selfish? Doing good deeds and following the Good Book to get a one-way ticket through the Pearly Gates? Then you're not doing it for God. You're doing it to save your own ass and get VIP access. This is why attaining heaven in the afterlife is Not a priority in my life.

If you have a writer in your family there are many things you can get them for Christmas or their birthday, but truly, the best thing you could ever give them is the cure to writers' block. But giving this wonderful gift is just about as realistic as giving the doctor in you family the cure to cancer.....

Ok people, this is for a writing project. When you were little or young, where would you go to escape (real or imagined)? What did you daydream or fantasize? Did you have imaginary friends? How old were you when you stopped dreaming those things?
And aside from some crazy friend on deviant asking you about it, do you ever still think ...about it?
