Yes, these tests are murder, or drive you to commit murder, depends on the personality. What story?

I am still working on mine, but I doubt it will ever be published. xd Of course we are all writers.

Good for you, bro have never made the effort to get any of my work published, no offense to you or anything but with the massive amounts of s**t that is published on a yearly basis it is very hard to find authors that are good, and trust I by no means a Shakesphere, so why should by crab clutter up the shelves when there is plenty of good stuff out there waiting to be found?

Everyone wants to be published though, that is why it is hard to get it done. If it is sellable though, then you should go for it.
Why not get someone else's opinion on your work Elias?

fear that someone if going to laugh and throw the thing back at my face, is most likely the reason. And besides I don't really need my stuff to get published, I will continue to write regardless if I am famous or not. Besides like I said I doubt that I am any good.

Heh, the same fears and doubts plague my mind, however I do wish to be published. *shrug* But if I am not I will continue writing as well. Anyone can doubt themselves, but the fear of others doubting them before they get the chance to is only a big "What if?"

Like I said I do not wish to belittle the work of others, but I am merely content with knowing that I was given the gift to create worlds and peoples with lives and hopes and dreams just like my own regardless of the fact that more often than not they are placed into worlds that cannot poccibly exist. I did try to get some stuff published years ago, but thinks came up and I never finshed what I started, perhaps one day when I have the time to put the effort fourth.

Indeed... Hey, there is a big nasty forest behind the manor where ancient evils live... you can have all the fun you wish there.

Then there are random villages across the forest, occasionally you will find a straggler human from those.
