Writer's Lounge
Sep 8 2009, 9:03 PM EDT
A different type of free form thread.This is the place to have someone proof read your writing, ask for characters and plot ideas, or even just seek advice on writing in general. If you need information on how to portray an intense medical scene, or what gun would be common in X area, use this as a reference thread. I'll try to answer, or at the very least, address anything tossed my way, but I know there are plenty of better writers on this site, and it's open to anybody. Officially, this is a gentleman's lounge. 6 out of 6 found this valuable. Do you? |

I don't really know what I need, but I've had writer's block on my last story "As The World Dies" for a while now. If somebody could read it and offer some ideas as to where the story goes next it would be appreciated.

I know how you guys feel. I've had writers block for the story I wrote on ZedPoc "Something Like Home, Something Else."I don't know where to take it from there. I've got like 3 ideas bouncing around in my head & I'm still fighting myself. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Eh. I think my problem is that I have too many projects going on. I've got "As The World Dies," I'm working on a journal-type account of one man's experience of Z-Day, and I'm writing a script for a short film (about zombies) that I hope to get written, cast, permitted, shot, edited, and entered into next year's film festivals.

@StrykerPez: Really? That's pretty awesome! I'm re-reading 'as the world dies' and I'll PM you if I have an idea. Right now I'm thinking of a quiet ride on the train & the characters picking eachothers brains about their past.It would be a good opportunity to help explore the people you want to have make it from beginning to end.

I've been thinking on a series of non-zombie books that sound like awesome reads. They haven't been written or even thought up but it sounds wicked.

If you want to check out the latest film I worked on here's the site. You'll have to sign up to verify you're of age, it is PG-13.http://www.thedoorpost.com/hope/SHMILU/ Suckage, however, my father is in the credits but I am not. I guess the graphics guy didn't realize there were two of us with the same last name and just picked one! The zombie-related film I am writing will be similar in length and style to that one. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

If you watch the "Behind the Scenes" of that film link I posted, you can see me at 00:03:06 gripping for camera in the cut-off black t-shirt. Heh.

"I don't really know what I need, but I've had writer's block on my last story "As The World Dies" for a while now. If somebody could read it and offer some ideas as to where the story goes next it would be appreciated. "Ah, I remember reading this now...re-reading it right now. A few comments. -You need to break up the text just a little more. -When you say "centuries old AK47s", isn't that impossible as the story has taken place less then a century after 1947? -The laser pistol seems really out of place...twenty years isn't that long for weapons development, especially when an apocalypse (and a super restrictive government) puts a damper on progress. Other then that, it was enjoyable and not too far fetched. The train would be a good idea, and possibly they'd ask Grey about possible ways to breach government structures and all. After that, collecting weapons and a formidible method of transportation would make sense. The motorhome is awesome, but I'd imagine an airborne vehicle would make more sense for attacking a government super city. Wait, idea!! How about, they go back to the airfield, and rebuild the drone? Convert it to a manually flied craft, shoot down a drone returning to the government (after jamming it's coms, of course) and replace it for infiltration. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Wall o' text: Yeah... I typed this on MS Word and it lost the formatting when I copied it over. Centuries old: Oops... got "centuries" and "decades" mixed up. Thanks. Laser Pistol: I will explain later that the gvm't never stopped developing weapons. It is one of the first models... bla bla bla. Using drone to get in: I love the idea, but then they wouldn't really need the train. So maybe we'll work in an airborne infiltration somehow once they get to LA. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

"Wall o' text: Yeah... I typed this on MS Word and it lost the formatting when I copied it over.Well, it's just an idea. Perhaps geek boy could remotely control the drone to use as a distraction? I mean, they have to have some sort of weaponry for defense, and they could always be loaded down with explosives. Even, you could have the **** drone hidden (wings folded) inside one of the cars of the train, to release then once slipped past their main defenses. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I've been trying to get started on a more down-to-earth fiction on the subject of the zombie apocalypse (oh, the irony in that sentence was too much to resist).My writing so far on that area has been designed to give a broader outlook on the scene, directly or indirectly. I'd like to write a story from a perspective very close to mine own if possible.. Do you find this valuable? |
