Hi,

Look for a board on the Internet, where you can post your stories (or even a part of it)

To get a feedback from the people.

If you get a positive feedback, you can try to send the story to a publisher.

Don't be unmotivated, it needs a lot of time and experience to become a good writer.

Keep on writing and try to include the feedback on the new story.

Good luck!

I'm sorry that I haven't been around as much as I might usually have been, Lamona! I have had some Internet connection problems and have also been ill for a little while.

As in the fine answer above, you really do need feedback from others concerning what you have written. There are writing forums on the Internet that are primarily devoted to helping people to write where there will be many people and not just a few, who will be willing to look at what you have written. Writing Forum - Google Search

If you ever do get to the point where someone might want to make a movie out of what you have written, would you want it to be in English or some other language, please?

Thanks!

[Lamona]

Thanks so much.. I really really mean it.. this site is so cool

Thank you again.. I do not now what to say.. I mean write!!

My friend told me that I can put an advertaising on yellow pages


What do you think??

& I want to write an English movie

[Clough]

The first thing that I would suggest that you do, is to join one of the forums on the link that I provided in my last response to you.

You do need feedback about what you have written. You will get the feedback that you need from those sites. Depending on how long the stories are that you have written, you could put at least some of the contents of them on this site to see what people think here.

If you were already an experienced, established business, then you might be putting things in the Yellow Pages. Since you aren't an experienced, established business at what you are wanting to do, then putting things into the Yellow Pages and paying for the advertising that you would have to there, will not work to your benefit at this point in time.

Something written to be put into the form of a movie is called a "screenplay." You would need to know how to put your stories into the form of screenplays in order for them to be workable and considered to become movies of any kind.

Books don't simply go from just being a book and then magically becoming a movie. There are a many steps to be taken in order for that to happen. Some of those steps usually involving the screenwriter (that's you, or someone else) investing some or a lot of money into making what is written into a movie.

The first thing, as I have already mentioned earlier, and as German_Guy also mentioned, is to get feedback on what you have already written.

Thanks!

You now what? I think that you are right...

Maybe I have to stop & think again...

& to be honest with you.. I am not ready for this... :(

I have to read more & more.. & I need feedback about what I have written..

So.. its OK! :)

As you said ( it needs a lot of time and experience to become a good writer. )

I will keep on writing and trying to include the feedback on the new story.


even if it will take a lot of years .. i believe that some day I will became like my

favorite writer ( DAN BROWN )


Thanks 4 every 1

The aspirations that you have are admirable, Lamona! I would greatly look forward to you posting, at least parts of what you have written, on this site!
