The topic was supposed to be "To what extent is it OK to base character traits/actions on those of real people" but that wouldn't fit. So yeah, I'm not talking ...

Thanks Kyllorac! Guess I got a bit confused with the author and everything.

I'm trying to write in iambic pentameter and this stuff is hard! Reading your poem out loud might help to identify the syllables -- generally I find it's easier to ...

I find Iago (from Othello ) rather disturbing due to his manipulation of other characters.

I'm studying Othello in school and finding it really interesting. Apparently the play was inspired by more obscure text called Un Capitano Moro by Gli Hecatommithi (written in Italian), on ...

I know some people here write and read in languages other than English. I only speak English, but I can read Latin and I've sort of written some things in ...

Keep going Masquerade. At least writing by hand, you have something to copy from to write up the words. There's also some way you can calculate your average number of ...

Hey everyone! My latest update: 1966 words. I've broadened to include other stuff, not just my novel, in the count. Might write 34 words, just for the oh-yeah-2K factor. Good ...

Okay, this proves there is definitely a second-year curse on Wrimos, and NO, doing Julnowrimo instead of Nano does not in any way "dodge" this! Ugh. I have written exactly ...
