The Steampunk Boiler Room

Well, this is the place to test your writing skills then.

As well as the competitions the Steam Punk Guild runs, I can recommend

Daily Flash Fiction Challenge  (13+) Enter your story of 300 words or less. #896794 by Arakun the Twisted Raccoon

and

FORUM

The Writer's Cramp  (13+) Write the best story or poem in 24 hours or less and win 10K GPs! #333655 by Sophy

. Both great competitions to get you going.

Also, plug time, I have a writing discussion forum "Invalid Item"  where you are welcome to ask for any specific writing tips and join in the discussions already taking place about the practicalities of the writing craft. There is even a book discussion thread you can discuss your memories of reading Jules Verne and HG Wells.

And lastly, I am seeking Steampunk items for the next issue of the unofficial WDC Steampunk newsletter:

Invalid Item  This item number is not valid. #1891027 by Not Available.

- a piece about the life of Jules Verne and his influence on Steam Punk and people like your goodself would be awesome ;)
