| Everyone, this might sound rather insane, but I have a VERY strong urge to begin writing an epic fantasy novel! I am a relatively young lady with a mild case of epilepsy. Having this condition means I have been disregarded for various jobs for ten years now. This feeling just won't leave me alone! Should I do it? A small part of me is still unsure. Because of my affliction, I have learned a fact of life: 'As an epileptic, if I yearn for a change in career, I will have to do this myself. Most people, not all, will think I am not good enough. It is a wish of mine to show others I can be as good as they are!' Sorry for the above quote. That one has been floating around in my thoughts recently. I will be expanding my membership so I can upload chapters on here. May I humbly request your assistance with my novels please? My sincerest apologies if this sounds too flowery, I am a tad emotional right now! With heartfelt thanks, Asha Moonfall, hopefully future epileptic fantasy novellist. |

| To whomever gifted me Costumicons, THANKS! I now have a Phoenix in my suitcase! I'm not Newt Scamander, just a n aspiring writer! As for the Gift Point/Costumicon sale, I was going to wait until Friday, aka payday! |
| Still attempting to write the first page of my long planned dragon novel. Trying to type around a cat is fun. I have even lost work due to this! Has anyone else had any animal mishaps when writing on a computer? |
| Hello fellow writers/book nerds! I am in need of some help from my amazing fellow writers! I am a 46 year old epileptic lady who in the course of her life, have been refused many jobs due to my aforementioned condition that I absolutely knew I could do. After having years of writers block, that huge lump has finally broken. I have several ideas for fantasy novels, including a dragon novel. I bet you are all thinking, not another one! I have an idea that should make my novel a bit different, well I hope it will! I just need some encouragement or advice, as the events of the past ten years do weigh heavily on me still. I can impart, if I manage to ever manage to have a novel published, I am PERSONALLY going to the people and SHOW them the type of employee they missed out on! One of the shops who cancelled my job offer was the Harry Potter store in Kings Cross station, London! Thanks for any help given, Asha Moonfall. |
"disABILITY WRITERS GROUP"  Your novel is different because it is from you, with your words, and it has your ideas. Let your imagination free to explore. Give it words as it shows you the story. Write whatever comes to mind. Nothing is wasted because if you do not use all of this in your book, you can use it in another story. Write with might for readers delight!  |
| OOps, I think I have done something rather stupid! After watching copious amounts of science fiction, including Star Trek, a rather strange idea popped into my mind. A book idea that called itself: 'How I became a Pet Human.' A work colleague at the time said I was a bit crazy at the time and rather odd! It was only when I began to do some research that I realized it had some rather naughty meanings behind it! Cough BDSM Cough. I might have to forget about this idea! I just hope I don't get banned for this comment! Or I could do this novel idea another way. I suppose some teasing will follow after people read this!!!!!!!!!! |
Definitely! And who knows? Maybe your book will pick up a couple of unintended fans. "When do we get to the 'good stuff'? It's chapter 24 and still nothing. Well, it is a pretty awesome story, so I guess I'll keep reading..."  |
You won't get banned for your posts as long as they're rated properly  If you need a reminder, here's a link to the article in WdC101: "Content Rating System (CRS)"  Happy plotting! |
| Whoops, I forgot to create a folder for this year's NaNoWriMo! I'll do that tomorrow! I'm currently yawning my head off! OOh and update my word count too! |
| I'm a bit upset right now. My USB stick went wonky. I lost ALL of my NaNoWriMo work I was going to upload! At least I have time to begin again! Can I have some cheers from fellow WDC members to stop me giving up please? |
| I learned I'll never be able to become a supervisor in my current job due to a disability I have. I'll just write something instead! Plus, eat some chocolate! |
| I NEED A BACON SANDWICH! Someone just gifted me a 3 month Basic Membership! To the person who did it, THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I'd better get that bacon sandwich! |
CONGRATULATIONS! They probably saw that you were plotting a book and wanted to ensure you could participate in "October Novel Prep Challenge" and NaNo.  |
| I've been a bit of a plonker! I forgot to renew my WDC membership. I should be able to do so when I get paid tomorrow! A basic membership should see me through OctoPrep and NaNoWriMo! Speaking of which, I have my copy of 'No Plot, No Problem,' by Chris Batty to assist. I'll just bolster the prep I HAVE done! Good Luck to those dwelling in Tokyo and Sydney! Asha Moonfall aka the girl who likes a bacon sandwich! |
