I fixed your link, Sam. You need to have twenty posts to your name before you can upload images, links etc.

Fun thread, though!
We have a rule of one story per author per day, so if you're bringing a collection of stories to storiesspace (which is wonderful and please keep posting them!) only one story will appear on site each day. This is to make it fair for all authors and give everyone's stories equal time on the front page.

Edit: To maintain proper sequencing of a series, stories MUST be submitted in the correct order.
And now we're back to Monday already.

Is it just me or are the weeks flying by?
I'm reading Aphelion by Emily Ballou. It's taking a bit of getting into, but I'm determined it won't get the better of me!
New members have a twenty post minimum before they're able to upload images or include links in their posts.

This rule has been put in place merely to deter spammers.

What goal are you working towards with regards to writing?

Do you have a long-term plan? Are you focused on becoming published or writing for the fun of it?
What plans do you have for the weekend? A quiet couple of days or do you have a lot happening?
Now we have our first stories posted on site, it's a good time to ask how you feel as a writer when you put your work out there to be read by others.

Does it take you a while to build the courage or do you have nerves of steel and are not put off at all by the idea?

How strict are your daily writing habits?

Do you write at certain times of the day, for a certain amount of time?

Do you find it helps you avoid writers' block if you're more structured about the time you spend on it each day?



I try to be a disciplined writer and set aside time each day to practice, but I'm fighting non-stop distractions like kids and dogs, so it's a constant battle.

One day I see myself sitting at a tidy desk beside a window overlooking a landscaped garden, where only the sound of chirping birds disturbs my thoughts. One day.



Good luck with that. Can you find somewhere like that for me, too?

What song/sound are you listening to at the moment?
Are there any particular songs you find inspire you to write? Do you listen to certain groups depending on the mood of your story?

Feel free to post a link to the song here.

The intention of the Stories Space forums is to provide an arena where those with common interests can share their ideas, experiences, information and just enjoy interacting with one another in a relaxed and light-hearted environment. Please keep your posts polite, on topic and respectful to fellow members, regardless of whether or not you agree with their opinions.

Some guidelines to remember:

- Be civilized and considerate to staff and other members.

- Keep messages on-topic and post new threads in the appropriate forums.

- Remember you alone are responsible for what you type.

- Name the source of your information if you're posting exceprts from other mediums.

- Refrain from swearing and engaging in personal attacks on other members. Remember, if you must criticise, criticise the idea, not the person.

- Avoid posting anything personal/racial/ethnic/gender-based insults, slurs or offensive comments.

- No advertising.

- Please do not post contact details such as phone numbers, physical address details, email addresses or any other type of contact details like website addresses, Instant Messenger IDs etc.

- Please do not use these forums for personal disputes, heated debates, flame wars etc. Take any personal disputes to a private mode of discussion off the forums.

- Sometimes people can write something that you may find offensive. Before launching into a public condemnation though, please consider that the person may not have intended to cause offence. It is very easy to misinterpret a post on forums.

- No trolling. What is a troll? It's a person who posts something which is bound to stir people up and then sits back and watches as dozens of people jump in and start arguing. Sometimes trolls get their friends to join in or post under different names.

- Linking to or promoting competing story sites anywhere on Stories Space is disallowed and may result in your account being banned.

- No threadjacking. Threadjacking is a deliberate attempt at steering a discussion away from the original topic by bringing up another, which may or may not be relevant to the content of original post.

- Ignore spammers.
