	I’ve recently undertaken (once again) to write my own Original Fiction. This time, truly hoping for success, I’ve done a lot of research on the writing method and thought that I might share with you what I’ve learned. It will be a workshop, with exercises both inside this thread and then challenges to post on the individual saga threads. Subjects I plan on touching on: Characters Character Sheets Protagonist Antagonist Significant Characters Interesting and believable characters Plot Beginnings Middle Scene and Sequel Finale If you are interested, please sign up in this thread. I plan on having the first exercise on October 13th. I would suggest participating through the whole, but it isn’t necessary and will welcome any at any time. What I’m really hoping is to have writers on this site, plan, plot, and produce a story to release on the board at the end of the workshop. If this is something you’re interested in doing please indicate when you sign up. -----signature----- Proud Master to Meredith_Kenobi & Lolly_Tolly "He full-on Obi-Wan'd me!"

	I'm in. Not sure if I can manage to get a story out of this, though. I completely suck at planning stories before writing. Will give it a shot, anyway. -----signature----- "What would you have me do?" "Endure." . Proud Master and buir'ika of Commander_Ducky. Alcohol is not a solution – it's a compound.

	I'm in as well. My writing very much goes along the line of 'vague idea - let's start writing'. The start is okay most of the time, but the problem is I can't seem to manage a finish. So maybe this will help. Do you pm when things start or do we check ourselves? -----signature----- Winner of WWTF round 2

	Count me in! I'm not sure about the story at the end either, though. I have NaNo and DRL, so don't count on me for that part. I have a hard time finishing stories as well, and this might be just what I need to be able to do so. -----signature----- The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear?
