Do you ever run out of ideas just before you end your story? A good trick is to write the end first, then write the middle and finally write the first bit. And then the title. I find if I write the title first, then the end feels a bit distant. Try this out for yourselves and leave a comment. Go on.

Be good to other people. As this is an international forum be respectful. If you post writing that uses salty language you can add a wee warning at the start so if some snowflake wants to read it they can feel guilty for ignoring it. Nothing illegal. Defusing explosion is above my pay grade. The first 100 or so members are free so invite your writer friends. After that it will cost $5 to join! Courses will be free or they will be charged. It kind of depends on what they are about. Your secrets are safe if you do not tell anybody. Want to publish? Well, why not!

In this section you can post items you want people to react to: it can be an article, a piece of marketing text, a story, a poem or even a computer programme. Up to you. The only rules are one post per member per month. We do not want sixteen articles by one person drowning everyone else out. The value of this is the feedback. You will need to share and invite audience in to give you feedback on your writing.

This is a Course In Progress Here are the sections titles currently Introduction Writing Speaking (Draft) Expressive Writing (Draft) Using Metaphor (Draft) Marketing and Social Media Let me know in a comment if you would like to explore other sections and we will build it.

I have been a writer for decades. Published one book of poems on Amazon (Kindle) and have two others in the works. Writing underpins everything we do online. My writing heros are TS Eliot (The Four Quartets), Samuel Beckett (All Strange Away), Italo Calvino (Invisible Cities) and of course Dostoyevsky (Crime and Punishment). My interests include Philosophy, Poetry, Programming, Science Fiction, Software Art and Theatre.
