My First Chapter: Natures Wrath
Well I thought I’d posted this but it must have been on the old server and not copied across. DOH!!! So this is my first chapter with some anonymous critiques. It’s the second draft sooooo you know there are some changes from the original but the comedic brokeback relationship is still there. Actually I don’t [...]
The Crazies? No It’s My First Chapter
So I made this uber post on The Crazies but when I went to post it, everything broke and it got lost. So here’s the first chapter to my supposed novel. Featuring a brokeback relationship I added for humour but seems to have worked out with the critics I posted last week. – Comments from [...]
Final Course Assignments: Jeremy Loves The Zombie Hooker!
Rather than post course materials, the idea of this exercise was to create a character quirk and pop it in a story. A Very short one. As always Jeremy’s stuff is in the < >. One Two Three It was like a comforter for Charlie the gnome whose nerves had been on edge ever since [...]
Monday Musings: First Chapter Critique
Right so I’m not going to post my first chapters but I am going to post the critique that came after. I find that when I share things at large, I get bored with them very quickly and they never get finished. I’m dysfunctional like that. I hope Mr Shipp doesn’t mind me posting this [...]
Mark Macready 2: The Zombie Brothel

Woo Hoo – I’m Awesome – The Course
We had to rewrite some sentances. The green snake slithered across the table. Wound so tight he could have been a spring ready for action, Freddy the snake viewed his life as a dance, every move was a calculated gesture of seduction and threat. A snake has to eat, not be eaten so imagine Freddy’s [...]
Run, Fatty, Run! – The Second Draft
I’ve just posted this over at the writing course, if you check out the previous post in the catagory you’ll see what ammendments Mr Shipp suggested I make. I have changed the grammatical errors and also added/deleted stuff. There’s also an underlined section which is the old paragraph with the newer one beneath, not sure [...]
My Short Stories – The Critique!
So below is a copy of the two short stories I submitted to my creative writing course along with critique from the tutor. I have no clue how I’m going to handle the second draft. Do I tackle both or do I tackle one of them? The first is one I’ve posted on here already [...]
Creative Writing: a @Jeremycshipp experience…
Okay so Jeremy C Shipp, he’s a guy that writes books. Even has his own website with testimonials from people like the great Jack Ketchum who screwed my head up with The Girl Next Door, I’ve not read another book since that. So disturbed by it all, that and I’m just so lazy it sometimes [...]
