I don't think they really see it as a "spill your guts and polish later" draft. The writers I've encountered like this genuinely think what they're...

Funnily enough I was watching Die Hard With a Vengeance last night and with both that and the first, I somewhat hoped the villains would succeed with...

Welcome aboard! Have a poke around and I'm sure you'll find something to help. The community is great and there's so much to see so get stuck in!

Welcome aboard! This site is a real resource for any writer. I've always loved graphic novels but never considered writing one, sounds like fun!

I took "From an Antique Land" from Ozymandias by Percy Shelley. I've always loved the poem and it was lucky that the themes of the poem and those of...

As someone mentioned earlier, I used a line of dialogue, which came from a migraine meds induced waking dream (played in my head like a film clip)

I started with an entirely different name but ended up with one based on something I was doing as a creative constraint.

I had no idea that people actually would do that with a 'spill your guts and polish later' draft. I can understand if someone has the process of...

Mars versus Maine. So, my head went to Moose versus Martian...and then it went to Bullwinkle versus Marvin the Martian. Hmm. I think I'd take odds on...

OM gosh. I really don't know what to think of this. I'm stunned, shocked and inspired all at the same time. I have to admit that I find Todd a bit...

Underneath the Colours - INXS

Welcome to AW!

That would be a fascinating comparison. Given how well they understood a candle, I'd bet they would move it away from the food. How does a raccoon...

Cult of Personality - Living Colour (ha! Haven't thought of that song in years.)

We can't really critique your excerpt until you have 50 posts and post it in ShowYourWork. So I didn't read it. But I can give you a general...

Man of Colours -- Icehouse

Travelin' Man - Ricky Nelson
