If I printed off all the chapters and stapled the pages together, could I send it to you to be signed? I really want your autograph man, it's going to be worth an assload in a couple of years.
Hey guys, you want to read my book? :D All right, I'm not going to be mean. You obviously like to write, and I'm not going to chop you down. But I do recommend you practice a little more and set goals for yourself: small goals that grow slightly each time you set another one. It will make the learning and development processes quicker and more efficient. You're welcome.
i'm changing the picture, the last time i was on here was i don't know how long ago
There has to be a narration of this
best book of my life
Make this an audiobook.
Even if it was long enough to be published, the quality and grammar of the material is very underdeveloped. [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3655261/wgagadsf.PNG[/IMG] Grammar mistakes are underlined and highlighted. Before an author even considers sending his work to the editor, he reads it over multiple times and looks carefully for mistakes. Those kinds of things make literature hard to read, if not impossible. You have creativity, but avoid piggy-backing off other people's ideas. The fact that you mentioned another persons work at all was too much.
Text is way too clumped together, learn to use the enter/return key.

My point is valid regardless. Pub·lish (pblsh) v. pub·lished, pub·lish·ing, pub·lish·es v.tr. 1. [B]To prepare and issue (printed material) for public distribution[/B] or sale. 2. [B]To bring to the public attention[/B]; announce. Before you go and call people stupid, learn what the words you are saying mean. :downs:
[QUOTE=dragonhawk;23907148] i'm only wondering why noone is smart enough to read this first. Then tell me what's wrong[/QUOTE] I'm only wondering why you aren't smart enough to accept any of the criticism that people have been giving you and use it to improve your work?
Dashiel, why am I agreeing with every single post you make in this thread? Is your name actually Charles?
[QUOTE=Penultimate;23907207]Dashiel, why am I agreeing with every single post you make in this thread? Is your name actually Charles?[/QUOTE] Yes, I am actually you. Your feet are typing on a laptop without you noticing.
Formatting please dear god. And really it's not that hard to spell check/spell correctly in the first place. And why do you put , at the end of speech bubble things?
What's the point of putting a band together if you're not going to play gigs? Whether or not you want to get it published makes no difference, it's still a shitty piece of writing. It's just you want us to lower our standards because you don't want it published. It doesn't work that way.
heres a new story that will be better, Ill make everything up as i go along, TITLE:The story where weird stuff happens. By mega tuna One day i was walking down the street when suddenly a black car puled up. Two men wearing suits walked out and said they needed immediate help. Now my mom said never get into cars with strangers, But these guys seemed legit F.B.I. Agents. badges and all. I hoped in the car and gave my friend a call to tell him where i would be. As soon as I had started to type the number the agent in the passenger seat took my phone and snapped it in half from the hinge. I was honestly about to just yell at him but my instincts of my past anger took over, I tried to punch him but the car stopped short as the driver said we had arrived. It was what appeared to be an abandoned building. I asked why we were here. He pulled the whole "that information is classified" act. We entered the building. And although it appeared to be in shambles from the outside, It look much more well done on the inside. Metal stairs, Monitors shooting off random numbers, a speaker system that announced nearby emergency's in the area. It was all just too amazing for me to comprehend. with my jaw dropped the two men grabbed me by the arms and dragged me forward, as i was too stunned to walk. They brought me into a room which had a desk, a computer, and a rotating chair with a man in it. At the exact same time both agents said "We have captured the target boss.". "excellent..." he replied. TO BE CONTINUED? Needs spell check and grammar fixes i know
I accept the criticism, i just said I am using notepad which is a program without a spellchecker

[QUOTE=dragonhawk;23907235]I accept the criticism, i just said I am using notepad which is a program without a spellchecker[/QUOTE] Bahahahahaha Atleast use OpenOffice.
[QUOTE=dragonhawk;23907235]I accept the criticism, i just said I am using notepad which is a program without a spellchecker[/QUOTE] Like I said, use a word processing application. Hell, use OpenOffice. It's better than nothing.
[QUOTE=dragonhawk;23907235]I accept the criticism, i just said I am using notepad which is a program without a spellchecker[/QUOTE] Besides why the heck do you keep lecturing me about the notepad program which DOESN'T HAVE A SPELL CHECKER and I don't have OpenOffice
[QUOTE=bl4h;23907251]Bahahahahaha Atleast use OpenOffice.[/QUOTE] Yes jesus christ it's free and works bloody well.
you know, i was about to try and convert it to a well-formatted, grammatically correct pdf, but after reading it i deigned it unnecessary.
[QUOTE=dragonhawk;23907270]Besides why the heck do you keep lecturing me about the notepad program which DOESN'T HAVE A SPELL CHECKER[/QUOTE] Because you won't accept the fact that you shouldn't be using notepad to write a fucking story.
here's a narration of chapter one that I did while reading it for the first time [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/truely_origins.mp3[/url]

You don't use notepad for fucking anything except saving files with no formatting.
