The Aspiring Author
Hey there! Welcome to the new and improved (although somewhat forgotten) form of "The Aspiring Author." This site does not have much to offer, but that is where you come in, dear enlightened guest. Give me advice, tips, suggestions, complaints, frenzied ravings, or smug remarks concerning the typos on this page. If you don't feel like talking to me, maybe you could just offer advice to all writers. I might post it on my site, and might even give you credit for it. Fine, I will recognize whoever comes up with good advice or comments. If that isn't your style either, then take a look at what I have so far. I am developing the definitive list of symonyms for the  ever so bland word affectionately known as said. I also plan to complie a list of authors both past and present who I feel are masters at the craft, and specifically the areas in which I believe they excel.
The Illustrious and Infamous FAQs.
Q: Who the heck are you?
A: I'm not telling.
Q: Well, at least tell me about yourself.
A: That's not a question.
Q: Man, do you even have a life?
A: Not really.
Q: How old are you?
A: 17
Q: What the heck is that background?
A: That is Red XIII from Final Fantasy VII,
standing next to his father, who died while defending his village.
Q: That's nice.
A: I thought so.
Q: Are you male or female?
A: Yes. Oh, all right. I'm a male, although my species is still unknown.
Q: Why isn't there any background music?
A: I don't want to get sued. Hum something.
Q: Do you believe that cutting back on carbs will help promote a healthy lifestyle?
A: No. It's just one of a million diet fads. Remember when fat was bad for you? It's true.
Q: Do you think you're funny?
A: Yes, but I also think that I am the inventor of toenails.
Q: What have you written?
A: Not much. I wrote a trilogy of books about talking animals traveling pretty much everywhere in my younger days. I recently wrote the short story "Cream Cheese." I am currently working on a serious tale that portends to defy description. In other words, I'm keeping it top secret.
Q: Will you post online fiction?
A: Sure! Why not? I'll get to that... eventually.
To Enter The Legendary Synonyms for Said page, Obey The Button And:
E-mail me with some good advice for writers, or the left part of this large blank space will stay both large and blank.
Tell me who your favorite authors are and why. This will be the tribute to the great writers we know and love.
We all know that there are many different components to writing fiction. I'm planning on writing short essays on things such as setting, protagonists, antagonists, supporting characters, plot, complications, hooks, climaxes, subplots, and probably other stuff. Feel free to offer feedback. I really would appreciate it if you readers would offer your opinions about these topics, and when I have some essays ready, criticize them relentlessly.
Everyone has at least one. Tell me about your favorite character in any literary work. If I get enoogh responses, I may eventually create pages dedicated to those special heroes and villians that we can't resist adoring. Tell my readers about the best characters the printed page has ever shown, and remind us why we do what we do, and why we love it so very much.
