Finding time to write

It's not really about 'finding' time to write, it's more like 'making' time to write. I usually do my writing in the evenings when I get home from work. Lately though, that has become more difficult. I think that I'll start using my time before work to try to get some writing done. I usually carry writing supplies with me, so I may as well put it to good use, especially since I show up at work about two hours before I really need to be there. I'm having ideas for some of my stories so that means that I really should start working on them.

Must remember to take paper and pen to work with me so I can make notes. I also have a few stories to complete soon. Taking that time before work should help me finish things.

There are also ways for me to be able to write in text documents through electronic means. That's fine with me. I can do that as well, I just have to remember which copy is the most recent one or find a way to have that centralized manuscript to access and edit.

Getting best possible story.

Writing isn't an easy thing. Even more so when one is writing a collaborative story with someone else or a group of others. If there isn't enough communication going in the background, someone may want to take the story off on a completely different track from what the prime author is intending. We've seen it happen on another site with a story with the same characters you'll be seeing here. Someone didn't check how Amanda wanted the story to go and started to take it in a direction it wasn't supposed to go. We tried working with the others to get it back on track, but it seemed as if they wanted to follow the other storyline instead. When Amanda and I talked to the one who derailed the story, well, things didn't end on a happy note and the story was abandoned.

It takes work and communication of everyone involved in a project like this for it flow properly to produce a quality story. As we add others here, we can only hope that they will work with us to get the best possible story without much inter-author conflict.

If you're invited to join, then it means that you're are quite possibly one of the few who we have written with in the past and had good results with.

Remember, we both have lives away from this project so our postings (and approval of other posts) will be delayed slightly as we tend to work and such.
