Professor Von Ball's Creative Writing Help

[caffeinated.joy]

I have a question for everyone here.

I've found a goodly amount of my old writing notes (how to's, things to avoid, mistakes editors look for first), and was wondering if anyone would be interested in my posting them. If so...should I do so here, or in a separate thread?


Anyone??

ummm... i suppose this would be the place to post that... anyhoo, i was wondering if the titles 'as the plumbbob turns' and 'all my plumbbobs' have been taken yet. i'm working on a multi-maxishood soap and i tend to like having my titles set up before anything else.

You're pretty much the exact opposite of me.
I tend to develop everything BUT the title first.
