The Road from Damascus

[privatexenemy]

Genre: original
Rated: PG-16 (religious issues, possible violence)
Stated: 24.12.2007
Ended: 10.01.2007
Author’s Note: It had been a while since I had written anything original, basically because I could never really formulated a plot. Thus, I dug up an old, old set of characters I had created and decided to give them a story, as requested by lamiyao.

No, you're not and it's surprising to see that considering how well ou write. You woudn't believe how may idiots i've met thinking they're the best writers in the world, just because they hav a bunch of peopl role playing with them. And most of them either havb a mediocre writing or spend most of time gloating on how beautiful their character is +rolls eyes

... yeah, or ridiculously long stories...rps struck me as a popularity contest and a lot of writers like to live their fantasy through that, which is why i stay away from them. ^^;

hm. i see. i just find that a lot of books nowadays don't hold my interest or engage me enough intellectually to hold my interest. jrr tolkien is what i call -- a modern classic. xD; anne rice, i have heard of her and the vampire novels she has written -- interesting, but haven't gotten into him. ... hm.. if you like Dan Brown, have you tried Golden Compass?

Well, i wouldn't go as far as calling those people writters. they're little attention whores really. i'm only interested in RPing with people who do it for the fun of it and luckily i've been able to find quite a few talented writers among those in my friends list. Wich is good, because i've learned a lot from them. What i tried to do iwht my present RP account was to create a character who is the exact oposite of me (not just in gender) and make i believable and i'e had a lo of fun with it so far.

Well Anne is presently my muse, she's the one who inspired most of my writing lately. I'm a little bias because i'm a great fan of hers, but i think you should try reading one of her novels. um, no i haven't.

Ah, I see. It's always helpful if you meet a couple really strong writers. Though the word of caution would be to make sure that you don't lose your own voice because you've been learning so much.. which doesn't sound slike it would be a problem for you right now. I think that you sound like you know what you're doing -- I haven't even tried that, because those types of people are generally, really eccentric. ^^;

I see, we all have our muses.. so that's a good thing. I'll consider giving Interview with a Vampire a try, though I've been busy reading up on classical composers lately.... e_e;

I tend to adjust my style to other writers, but also learn from other people who are better and me and constantly try to improve myself. haha! true, RPers are all freaks. ,yseçf inculuded XD But there are good freaks and bad freaks.

Well i'm not sure if Interview with the Vampire is the best book to start with. Believ it or not, i haven' read it yet. I haven't been reading Rice's book sin sequence, i often buy them as i come across them. But a friend of mine hated it because she says th book is basically Louis whining about his life and being a drama queen all the time XD i haven't read it yet, so i wouldn't know, but i loved every book of hers that i ever read.
