The syndromes are an old Acmlmboard tradition carried over from the first version. Syndrome are triggered when you reach the amount of posts posted per day listed in he table below.

There's something wrong in the quote above. Just thought I would point it out.

Also, heck yea my syndrome is still there! Time to break it. Or not. That spree was insane. I still have nightmares.

That's okay, I call myself a writer as well. We can be lazy about it together!

For me, I have to find a quiet spot to read. I try to read on my break at work, but I have to find a spot away from people. The breakroom is waaaaaaaay too loud.

Same here. I need to get out of my current job and I think this is the way. I've never been confident in what I write until a few months ago. I've always written for me but now I need to write for my readers, which is a whole different ballgame. Just finished the rough draft of my first book at around 50K words. I'm writing for young adults, mainly because that is my style. I really, really hope it works out. I've always wanted to do this, but too scared and unsure on how. Good luck with your book series. I saw the thread and I'll have a read once I get some quiet time.

I did back on Jul and Acmlm's, but my worry is, why should people buy my book if they can read it online for free? Just something that bothers me and something that the publisher might say. Maybe I'm paranoid, but yea. ~~But this isn't the thread for writing and I (or someone else) should make a general writer's thread.~~

EDIT: Go here, writers.

Just a simple thread (which started out in the Reading Rainbow thread), where writers can post their ideas for their books, gripe about writing and writer's block, get advise, or just generally talk about writing.

Emuz! Nice seeing you again. Been good. How about you?

I remember giving out chibi stuffed toys to newbies on Acmlm's. I'll check out the fridge later.

I've got 18 books planned

Fantastic! I wanted to write out a four book series, but as I started to put things together, I realized that my four part series would be better as two. It was a hard decision to make, but it had to be done. Perhaps once I finish this arc and if something happens in regards to being published, I might write more.

Posted by Marzen64
The Chronicles of Freilia.

Love the title! I've been thinking of changing the title of my series, which I know I'll end up doing. Your stuff sounds very interesting and detailed. What age/reading group are you trying to target?

Posted by Marzen64
I dunno, everything I write just seems like crap and then I don't wanna write anymore....

I used to be like this for a very long time. Then I started to read and then while reading a certain series, I thought to myself, "I can write something better". I know that doesn't sound good but its more like motivation for me to write and try to get it published.

Posted by Marzen64
I just gotta start and DO it, I suppose.

Yep. Sounds easy and its not, but then again, it is.

I write better with music. I have to have certain music on for certain scenes or it won't click. I've also been able to write while at work, but only on Sundays. I'm stuck on the crepe/omelet station on Sundays, all the way in the front of the buffet, yet no one really pays any attention. So one day, I started to write in my notepad, while standing up for eight hours. I stop when customers come up to me of course, and some of the regulars, I've told them that I have to keep busy when I have nothing to do, so I write.

I've been writing since the 5th grade. A few characters have stuck around since then while a few were created thanks to the RP at Acmlm's. I've had years to know these characters and as I write today, I'm getting to know them even more.

I write to get to the point, no matter if its a gaming article or my story. I feel like my pace is quick and I hope the pace is constant throughout, which I think it is. There's just a few things that I need to add to my rough draft, like filling holes, adding names and conversations.

I've already prepared myself for rejection, which will be hard but I know it will happen. I just hope I get a publisher, I really hate my job and I want to quit so bad and do what I love.

I've per-orderd this book that I pray will help me out in seeking a publisher, which means I need to get my first book done before the end of September.

What I'm doing, is a mix between super heroes and magic/fantasy with a bit of sci-fi, targeted for young adults. As I started to get more into the story, it started to also turn into a bit of a love story, which I had no intention of doing. Thankfully my main female hero isn't the typical type. It is in first person, which I love to write in.

The trick will be getting all the "heavy hitters" working at once. That's how to get Wooster's syndrome without spamming to heck and back.

Yep. And even then we still get a few spammy posts here and there.

August will be off and on for me. I had today to post more because I was at my in-laws. Tomorrow I go back to work, so I won't be around much. And at the end of August I'll be in Seattle for PAX. But I'll try to stay active instead of slowly vanishing like I've been doing recently at a certain other board.

I quickly turn around, startled by what I felt on my shoulder. Did the wall just tap me? I gently poke the wall, checking to see if it's indeed a solid surface.

I jump a little as the hand grabs me, unsure at first if its a hand from a friend or foe.

"Oh, hello, there," I slowly say, trying to put the name to the face that just emerged from the wall.

"..." I had to take a few minutes to think before it finally clicked. "Hey wait, did you send me this note?"

I pull out the note that I had gotten, sending me to this place.

I got two egg yolks a few days ago when I made eggs. Now I get to go to work and deal with a bunch of eggs. Fun.

I had one of the breakfast pizzas, which I shouldn't be having, but I did.

I work at a casino, in a buffet. Here's their website. I hate it there so much, but I need the money to pay the bills, so I'm stuck there right now. I get a lot of people asking me if I went to school to cook or if I like to cook, both answers are no. I rather go to school for writing and I don't like to cook. I can come up with things out of the blue, but I really don't like cooking. Its a job, nothing more to me.

A dude who got fired even put up a video on YouTube. A lot of it is true, but since I and everyone else that works there needs their jobs, we just do our job and leave.

I just checked out some of the comments and the person that mention breaks is spot on. They automatically take 30 minutes out of your pay. If you don't take your break, you don't get paid for those 30 minutes that you did work. Very annoying, especially when you don't have anyone to cover you for your break. Like Sundays, I can't take my break until 9pm and I get off at 9:30pm. I work for 8 hours, standing up, because I can't get anyone to cover me. Same goes for when I'm on the pasta station. Last Tuesday I had to walk away from the station at like 9:40 to get my break and I got off at 10:30pm. So yea, there's a lot of crap going on there, but I work, go home and that 's that. And then sometimes rant about it. All I can do is work on my writing and hope that it is the right course to take to get me the hell out of there.

"Oh," I say, half disappointed that the message wasn't one of distressed. I shake Caionna's hand. "Nice to meet you. So, what's there to do around here?"
