DF Books / Re: Shirt Quotes: Buy Dresden Stuff!

I was rereading Proven Guilty last night and came across this quote.

I'm thinking black t-shirt with a large sword across it.  Then, under it, it says "Have sword, will travel."

Plot-  a writer's worst friend (or best enemy).

I write in the oddest way- I know where I want to start and how I want to end.  I have a basic idea of what I want to accomplish throughout the book.  Aside from that, I know nothing.  I just write and see what comes out.  Of course, this leads to the dilemma I had 50 pages into my last book in a trilogy.  I realized that I had no plot at that point.  REWRITE!!!!

I ended up throwing in another idea that I was able to follow through to the end, and tie together with the main plot points. 

So, my advice to everyone is to pick a main plot arc that ou want to cover.  Then come up with several smaller arcs (at least 2, no more than 4) and weave them into the story.  Then, you'll always have at least on plot for you to fall back on when you get hit with a writers block on the main plot.

I started writing as a way to escape from my mom's cancer for a bit.  Then, I fell in love with my characters.  now, I can't get to sleep without writing a little bit each night.

That, and if I didn't write, I'd go insane from the attacks from the Plot Bunnies.

If it includes an image of shrub, I'm all for it.

Same here.

And maybe one that says
FRONT-
Murderous Faeries, Killer Vampires, Fallen Angels, Werewolves

BACK-
Should've stayed in bed.

"Sarcasm- Just one more service Bob offers"

Or the grand old

"I don't believe in faeries!"
 
Or

"Holy vigilanties, Batman"

Or

"Stupid Latin correspondence course"

Or

"Easter has been cancelled.  They found the body"

Or...

*gets dragged off so others can have a turn*

Oh goodie.  Another excuse to reread the Dresdens in a search for shirts.

This sounds so cool!  I can't wait to see what you guys (or gals) come up with.  And if there's any need for help with story lines, I'm your girl!  Just let me know!

Hey.  Megan here. 17, almost 18, and I've been majorly writing for four years.

I've been working in a sereis since I began high school four years ago.  It started as a way to get out of my life so that I could have a place where my mom's fight with cancer didn't touch me as much.  The characters were people I had RPed with a Text-based internet RPs called The Suns Shadows.  The city it was taking place in was as well. 

Well, one book turned into two, and two into three.  I'm working on the third one now...for the second time.  Yup.  Fifty pages into the last book and I realized that I was going NOWHERE!!  Time to restart.

As others, I'm working through the great swampy middle now in the last book.  BUt I've grown a lot as a writer in four years.  I look at my first book and think "what is this crap?"  Thank got for editing.

So...basic sumary of the first book is thus-

There is a place in this world where magic still exists.  It is a place where vampires and slayers, mages and witches, mortals and immortals have co-exsted in relative harmony for centuries.  But all that is about to change.

When an Immortal warlord joins forces with a centuries old mage to control Clennon, all know that the eventual control of them all is not far behind if they succeed.  So, bound and determined to keep Clennon a haven, Drake Coldheart teams up with the slayer Xzior and her friends to save it.

However, it will not be an easy task.  And, on top of it all, a trusted friend may be betraying them.
