I love this beginning, this introduction to your story, can't wait to read more. To really help you on with your story, I'd like to take the time and give you an in depth review of this first part.

Although gothic has become much more mainstream in the past few years, it has been a passion of mine since I was very young. Witches, magic, warlocks, goblins, demons, vampyrs, lycans, the whole caboodle. I am also a novelist, with a strong inclination to poetry, but my true hear...[Read Full Post] Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:22:23 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/forums/message_id/2359906 Hello Sean and welcome! As a blogger, who kept asking herself the same questions relating to copyright, I feel compelled to reply to your post. First of all, when I began to write and publish short stories on WDC, I too, was concerned I'd never get them published by another publisher, since the 'big guys' usually insist on exclusive de...[Read Full Post] Tue, 14 Feb 2012 08:48:55 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/forums/message_id/2359692 "Snakebite!

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:33:15 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/forums/message_id/2358437 I enjoyed the story and can't wait to read more. Openings are always hard, but I find that if you start where the story is already moving along, it's easier to go back and fill in the beginning. By the way love the names. Sat, 11 Feb 2012 02:02:34 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/forums/message_id/2358409 no problem! :) i hope it helped you a bit and yes, even just spending time just thinking for a while (i.e. when your in a car or something) can really inspire a story to begin. I wish you good luck! Never give up!!! (: Sat, 11 Feb 2012 00:03:41 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/forums/message_id/2358388 Welcome... The first thing you need to do is fill out your Bio block.

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:25:32 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/forums/message_id/2357631 Hello there, I am quite new to writers.com, to be honest, I've always been intimidated to write as I feel that sometimes I am not good enough to write in the level of talent I've seen out there. Descriptive words that come easy to others, often leave me sitting with a thesaurus and a dictionary. I do feel though I'm getting much better, and I...[Read Full Post] Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:41:50 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/forums/message_id/2357614 peace all My name is BigAL.
