Oh, I totally just read the rules again for this site and I've been back what, hardly a day? I've broken like, half. I should stop swearing so much.
Yeah, I dunno. I was a little worried about my swearing. So I checked the forum rules. Swearing is one of the things not to do. You should know this, col, you're a mod. (jkjkdon'thurtmeplease) I swear like a sailor.
Don't worry everyone, I have a little Blackwall with a post that colon wishes he didn't post XP iZaln
Oh well I'll fill you in! I posted chapter 9. Colonial is making a story. izaln said he'd put up the prologue today. Rika sweared. Zaln gave me amazing feedback. Smighter is clueless.
Galway Girl Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk Of a day -I-ay-I-ay I met a little girl and we stopped to talk Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do 'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl 'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl We were halfway there when the rain came down Of a day -I-ay-I-ay And she asked me up to her flat downtown Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do 'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl And I lost my heart to a Galway girl When I woke up I was all alone With a broken heart and a ticket home And I ask you now, tell me what would you do If her hair was black and her eyes were blue I've traveled around I've been all over this world Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
I've written a rough draft of a Prologue for my story... Only problem is I have no clue how to start a story, should it start with dialogue? The surroundings? What does a story usually start with? :?
Grrrrr what a rant at Iron... Check it out if you want, he was slaging off someones work on their thread so I... Stepped in...
@Dwei Whatever you think brings out the main idea of the part. So if you have soldiers in... Say a jungle, you can start with one guy swearing about the jungle. And then after, start to describe the setting... Here's an example... "Damn these f---ing annoying mosquitos," blared Charlie's voice over the group comm line. Charlie was right. They had been dispatched to the Amazon Rainforest. It was literally a living maze of trees. Musty and brown vines lay strewn across the trees that reached some 30 feet into the air. They created a canopy large enough to obscure any sunlight, so it was dark and drafty on the base... And there's a quickie. Something that engages a readers imagination. iZaln
