Any writers here on the Escapist?

[ZombieGenesis]

As a writer myself I've found there are very few places on the net you can really go to be around other writers and make good discussion- believe me, I've looked. Makes me wonder just how many members of the hobby, casual or otherwise, we have here in the big E.
I take my writing pretty seriously even though I've only had a single minor publication in the past, but mostly just because I love getting into a project. Just started a whole new one today actually and hoping I'll actually be able to stick with it.

SO how about it, do we have any pen jockeys in the Off Topic~?

Well, I can write bad fan-fiction. Does that count?

Having a notoriously short attention span and love of words I've got about three stories on the go. I wish I could commit to one and finish it off but my inspiration just seems to come in random bursts.

I enjoy writing, and people have always told me I'm a good writer, but I've never been able to stick with a project beyond around 15 pages. Typically I'll have an idea, maybe a certain character or setting I want to explore, and I'll write a bit about it, then get bored and move on to my next idea.

Eh, it's a hobby of mine. I've written a few things, or started writing them, never finished any of them... horrible work ethic.

I don't think you would be interested in my sex-fics.

 

[Randomeaninglessword]

I write stories, but I've yet to finish one.

I like writing, not serious though.. Can't really stay focused on it and I have an idea and get a bit angry when I can't get it to work out, take a break, and end up forgetting the project

 

[Serenegoose]

Hi. I'm a writer. Not yet published, but just pushed 60k words on my latest and largest project.

 

[captainaweshum]

I'm a writer, at least according to those who read me

I've written near 150 songs (music included), countless poems, and am also working on a novel.

All and all, I spend about 4-5 hours of my day at open office.

Literotica!! I write a bit mainly background stuff for mods or missions I work on, I feel my Arma 2 missions do much better when I write the mission in a third person narrative rather than just making random stuff up as I go.

<url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/2-50-Reviews>I've written one or two user reviews.

No fiction writing though.

 

[lewism247]

I start writing things but almost never finish them, got a few unfinished stories on my laptop now. They tend to be quite dark and linked with music now that I look at them. I've written a few horror and crime stories in the past. of course I've never published anything, only being 15. Wouldn't mind doing it in the future though.

I wrote a series of them for an ex-girlfriend. I can't read them any more without feeling uneasy.

 

[WaReloaded]

I write whenever I get the the chance, I'm working on a Noir as we speak.

I write them for myself...
Or the fandom whatever.

I have written a pen and paper role playing game, that is currently for sale on line. I haven't been making very much money off of it, but i can't complain.

I have also written a couple of erotic short stories that can be found online. Reviews, have been mixed, but i'm happy considering the genre.

I get the feeling my topic has taken a sudden and frightening turn...

I can honestly say, like most, my work ethic is terrible. I will however force myself to do planning at least when a new idea strikes, often inspired by other stories ... and games actually, a lot of the time. Just finished a few shorts for a local magazine (nothing in my usual genres, world war 2 setting and psychological horror) but after watching the Gamification episode of Extra Creditz they actually gave me an idea for a new story.
So hooray for random inspirations!
