Priscellie, I never realized what the "timeline chick" meant, but....wow, I'm very very impressed. You've done your home work! Thanks for making them, very cool addition to the boards and understanding the dresdenverse in general.

What would make interesting is that you make the roommate a Muslim.

That would be a good idea, but I don't know enough about the muslim culture to write about it. I wouldn't want to do any injustice to the religion.

O.k.,  :D, I was gone for most of the past two days and couldn't check the message board, but as far as advice goes thanks to everybody! Moritz, thanks for the advice, and yes, I do say "lol" to much. But, in all actuality I am actually laughing/smiling/find it humorous when I put that. If it annoys you, I'm sorry for that, but otherwise your advice was great.

Wolfhowls, thanks for the defense. ..... ;D

Meg_evonne, don't let stuff like that get ya down, in the grand scheme of things, you will have forgotten it by this time next week

And finally, Franzeska, Thanks for your advice. I am trying to bridge a gap that is put there by trying to write a novel like this. Maybe I can hit a good sweet spot as far as publishers go. Maybe I'll get lucky. You never know, if I'm writing for the Lord, I might get some kickbacks. ;)

Everybody have a great day!

1. Laptop, pen and pencil
2.Wish I did set aside time, usually just when I have a spare moment I'll write a little
3.No, No, that will cause your book to have a stale feel, only write when you want to, otherwise you'll make a less-than-quality writing
4. Have an outline, helps keep my head organized..lol
5. Wherever my laptop can sit, I'll write..lol
6. Either one, I like silence the best tho. Outdoors, or listening to relaxing music, (ex. Enya, Jazz, Blues, etc.)
7. Little bit of both, create main character, then go from there..
8. Once again, little of both. I'll write a chapter, then read thru it, edit, and go on. After every 2-3 chpters, I'll read thru all those together.
9. lol, only to trusted friends. But I enjoy the feedback, only makes for a better piece of writing.
10. My most difficult would be long dialogue and bridge scenes.
11. I'm writing a "dresden-esque" novel that focuses on a college kid who is recruited as the squire of the Archangel Michael. Demonic attacks plague the college, so the main character and his friends must defeat the hellish threat that looms in the future.

Had 11 full chapters of a book I've been working on for the past 6 months.....of course, I have it saved on my laptop.....(with no backup). My hard drive randomly fails, causing me to lose everything. After days of maintenance and praying, my hard drive last long enough for me to get the novel off, then minutes later, dies out completely.
