I have 'nother idea.

How about a subforum for book/novel discussion? I'm assuming that since most of us here write, then most of us here also read. Just a spot to talk about our favorites, books that we've recently read, suggestions for reading material, good authors to learn from, stuff like that.

I really like this idea. I know I learn a lot from my readings and sometimes it's fun to share things like that. I would love a section like this.

Sugestion time!

I think something that others would enjoy, I certainly do, would be Round Robin writing. If you don't already know what it is, it's where people get together and each writes parts of a story in sequential order to form one large story, novel, ect. I'm not sure how you'd like to set it up, but I'd definitely like to participate in a round robin since I have yet to do it before except for on ficly which gives you 1024 character limit [and also no guarentee that your ficlet will be continued by someone].

A general help place? I don't know. I need a place for basic help...like coming up with a freaking title for my book. stare

Two suggestions:

- A subforum for playwriting would be nice. I might be the only one who does it, but it's actually a fun thing to do.
-A subforum for screenplay writing would also be of use. You could even do one for screenplay shorts and entire movies, if you wanted.

I agree with this idea. I would like to read some of that and maybe in turn write some

That sounds like a good idea. I just got into scriptwriting myself a little while ago, and I really love it. I think it would be good to have a place for that here.

Based off of what I saw of Kindless's single word poetry, I think it would make an amazing game/artistic endevour if we all came up with a word and then, given a few days or a week, we all write a poem based off of that word. Or instead of a word, how about an idea? It doesn't have to be complicated. That's the beauty of poetry! Sometimes the simplest things make for the best work!

That actually sounds pretty awesome!

Sorry about the double post, I just came up with something. How about a place for sharing ideas about getting inspiration and overcoming writer's block? I was frustrated that there isn't a section like that here.

What about something for writing games?
Kind of like 'you won't win anything, but this is a game we can play.'
It would be fun, because I would like to revamp an idea I found in the forums, but I don't want to have to get gifts and stuff because this is ongoing for forever.
