Dialyn - It's great... especially liked 0006.html (-: I still don't understand why it's such a large file. Did you get any feedback on the newsletter? Perhaps if you ran a list of the authors who posted during the previous month (just author name, title, and brief description of write) - people love seeing their names in print. Also, I did like having it online, rather than having to download it. Perhaps you could drum up interest by keeping it on your own site, and advertising it on Renderosity and all the more popular writing sites. That might help draw people to this writer group, too.

Goodnight, and sweet dreams! It's 1:12 am here (-: I love to go to sleep as the sun rises, lol.

Thread: play-writing software? | Forum: Writers
wow - I didn't have my two male characters in the same scene, but I like your version, too! (Have you tried to get a play on Broadway?) I have no great ambitions, other than to get it written to my satisfaction. My original idea was for a graphic novel ... I soon realized that I couldn't do sufficient illustrating to justify the title and still include all the written words. I did one quick synopsis and version, which I misplaced for weeks. Then, I did a total rewrite - more words... somehow, it lost it's punch, imo. Now, I'm trying to find a happy medium... and the right format. I really don't have a problem with trying to write it both as a novel and a play simultaneously. What I have a problem with is writing them separately, it seems. I always said that writing a novel was beyond me - this is my first attempt. Working against me is that I spent years writing free-form poetry. I tend to revert to this, despite my intention not to do so. (Though, I did think that I would intersperse the novel with poems.) I think I could work this into play format as well. By the way, www.playwriting101.com had some very good information - thanks!

How could I ignore someone who offers new insights free of charge? (-: If you are willing to look at my first couple pages, I think you will quickly see why I am a bit perplexed. How do I differentiate her talking to herself, to someone else, to God or air? (I had originally toyed with different fonts or bold/italic etc.) oh well - more tomorrow.

TY again... downloading Roughdraft and busy reading through the info at playwriting101.com (very informative!) No problem with lectures, lol... If I didn't want input, I wouldn't post, eh? RE: "Who are these people? What is their background? How did they come to be on the stage together? Why are they in conflict? And they better be in conflict, or it will be a boring play. What is their relationship to each other? Are they strangers? Related? Friends? Lovers? Answer the age old questions of who, what, where and how in relationship to the characters and their problem." - One female with bad brain chemistry (or several other possibilities which appear valid because of different scenes) and two men (one of whom may only be a figment of her imagination) - I don't want to give away the plot here, but basically it is meant to purposely confuse the reader/viewer as to what is really happening to the main female character. So, as it is currently written in my head, there is no definitive ending. I am hoping, somehow, to avoid having to offer one. It will probably end with a narrated poem.

Thanks for the input, Dialyn... I don't even own a word-processing program (except for the very old version that came with my pc - useless.) I was hoping for something that would let me just click a button to say that this paragraph is stage instructions, this one the narrator, actor A or B, etc... and also, to have two windows open - one for the rough draft, and one for the polished version side by side. I was just supposing that such programs exist - no real info. The reason for wanting to do this novel (wip) as a play is because I lack the skills necessary to pull it off as a novel! It is definitely in the catagory of "weird," with little actual dialogue and much of the monologue just "thoughts." i.e. I could more easily do this as a comic strip with word balloons and thought balloons and scene blocks. Lol - that just might be my best option, now that I think of it! (Just kidding, I think.) Anyway, I could envision it as a two person play. As I reread my first 5-6 pages, I became confused as to how best to differentiate the speakers. (Main character flips repeatedly into mental monolog/dialog with self, even during two person conversations.) Sigh...perhaps I'll just finish typing up what I have as is, and hand it off to others for input. TY, ~Tien

Thanks, Dialyn ! I don't feel PUNished with word-play, lol (-: (Love the movie, "Airplane," for that reason!)
Thread: An idea - I haven't talked it over with Crescent | Forum: Writers
Ah, well, I have acrobat reader (old) - but it won't open up automatically in Netscape. I can save the link target, though, and open it here. We should introduce Bella to Murray - $225 to the vet a couple days ago, just to be told he is perfectly healthy for his age, a great bit spoiled, and has me manipulated, lol. But, when all else fails, he is there for me! Enjoy your new friend - I'll look forward to seeing a newsletter whenever you find the time. Time is limited here, too. (another funeral, and a few days away)... Have fun - (-:

This is definitely a "round trip," starting off as a bit of a downer, then ending quite happily.
Thread: An idea - I haven't talked it over with Crescent | Forum: Writers
I love the idea. I'm just wondering if it would scatter my time, or keep me from periodically checking "what's new" elsewhere. Already, surf time has become an issue for me. Has the new (and wonderful!) gallery stopped people from posting WIP's ? It seems to me that it hasa bit, and I rather miss that. Though, of course, much scrolled by without being seen. Regardless, I'd like to see an issue. I think having it done as free-stuff might draw a lot more eyes to the writer's forum/gallery. And, of course, help yourself to my limited offerings here. I'm anxious to see what you create ala pdf! (even though I can't open those files in my browser /-;)

Duh - thanks, dialyn... I'd have never figured that out by myself, lol... (we all need a little help now and then, eh?) When you put it your way, it's a very good question!

eek - "filler image" - This WAS a purely graphics site until recently, (I think)! They are doing us a big favor by letting us put more than picture captions up! You might want to look into Author's Den. It's a pay place, but reasonable, and you can probably upload it all there without any problems. Check that out at www.authorsden.com. In the meantime, perhaps you should upload the short story here to familiarize us with your work.
