Awesome. I'll definately try it. Although I'm odd - I do these after writing the story. My characters come to life as I write, and, when I do these first, ...

Ever hear of word wars? They're pretty fun. Find a partner (I'm always available,) and you both write for a set amount of time, usually about fifteen minutes. Then you ...

I'd use 'past.' Isn't 'passed' or 'I passed the test,' 'she passed on,' 'he passed me the butter?' And 'past' is for time related subjects? Or it could be British/American ...

*Nods* And it's a great way to be obsessive about organizing! I have my own folder saved in word, a folder for writing within it, a folder for every story ...

I've read several books like this, but they all are in third person. However, Bronx Masquerade is like this with MANY (like, 10?) different first person POV's, and it's done ...

My editing takes forever. I'll push out my writing, then rewrite whole passages, which can take anywhere from twice the time it took to write to five times the time, ...
