New here

[Taylor W. S.]

I've been writing since I retired (photographer).
I couldn't 'write' well at all at the start and some kind people (really) on Authonomy helped me out, set me on the right path- Internet, teach yourself.
Nobody is a born writer, but having said that it doesn't mean you can't be one. Whether you become good at it is up to you.
I was told once I was head-hopping in one of my crime stories, I wasn't, it was multiple POV.
I have just read-'Dreadnought' by Cherie Priest. She should have written it in the first person tense, then she wouldn't have caused so much literary confusion with her lack of pronouns. Good story, even though it 'dragged on with too many words to say so little.
I've written a bit about time travel in which matter transmission plays a part, not just moving through time but to different places.
Is anybody writing sci-fi?

Hi Taylor,
I'll read sci-fi if someone's recommended the book.
That's not helpful, is it?
I mean, anything interests me if it's well written.

Welcome to the Colony, Taylor W. S. I write YA/MG SFF fiction mainly, but have also experimented with adult humour.

Welcome to the Colony!

Merci, Lex, may I call you Lex. My name is Bill, and my back is killing me after a wheelchair biceps workout. I've just sent an email with a synopsis and 'chapters to an editor, I wonder...

Thank you. I also write crime and a few tales concerning the holocaust. Is it allowed upload something here, what do you suggest and how do I go about it?

Hello, and thank you. I tried YA, I do SFF but MG is new to me. How about history, the Holocaust for example, sad stuff.

Welcome to the Colony!

Hello and thank you, i always wanted to know what it would be like being a colonist. I write Sci-Fi, crime and WW2 history, including the Holocaust.

I'm relatively new, so I don't know if uploading finished work is allowed. I have read excerpts that have been posted for comments from fellow writers. Many Litopians have been generous dedicating considerable time in reading and jotting down their (sometimes long and detailed) reviews.
P.S. I am not one of them, unfortunately.

 

[Rich.]

I don't know if uploading finished work is allowed.

It is, and the place to do it is the Writing Groups. FAQ here. Please note that an upgraded account is necessary to access the Groups (which you already have, @Jiannina Camillo, but you currently don't, @Taylor W. S.). Thanks!
