    dora, your comments sounds like a load of trash to me, dora.......... ;)
  • HubbleHubble
    Thanx for the link Emma
  • ginabginab
    This is the type of encouragement I need at the moment. I might actually start something today and it could break the dry spell I've hit.

    Good article and backs up the comment I made on 'tips you'd give would be writers' just before opening this thread which was:

    don't tell people you want to write - DO IT!!!!!!!
  • Stan2Stan2
    Do it is the best advice you could give a wanna be writer.
  • ginabginab
    Well it actually prompted me to do some writing for the first time in....it feels like months but life has been so hectic I've lost all track of time. I know what I wrote wasn't much good but it got down the basic idea that I was thinking about so I might be able to do something with it later.

    very helpful. I might just go and write now
  • Marc.BMarc.B
    It's paid off for Jeffrey Archer.
  • Stan2Stan2
    Who is he then? ;)
  • Celtic CCeltic C
    A friend of Robin Hood?
  • josiehenleyjosiehenley
    babbling and then editing is what the article suggests. Maybe some writers don't do enough of the editing so their work just looks like babbling!

    [quote=Stan2]Who is he then? [/quote] That better be a joke
  • doradora
    What's a joke?
  • Stan2Stan2
    Cousin to Jo King? So St force, who is this Jeffrey Archer geezer then?
  • St ForceSt Force
    Jeffrey archer is a god! Speak like that again and I'll be-head you!! Foul Swine!!!!
  • Stan2Stan2
    A god? He was sent to prison for fraud. I passed his house every Monday to Friday for seven weeks on my way to a hospital in Cambridge.
  • doradora
    Oh that's a shame Stan. Couldn't you have taken a detour?
  • St ForceSt Force
    He is the best!!!!!!
  • RedRed
    How can a man who committed fraud, paid for prostitutes behind his wife's back, lied to the conservative party during the scandal, and who was imprisoned for his crimes, be called the best? Best at what exactly? Cos it sure aint writing...
  • St ForceSt Force
    [quote=Red]Cos it sure aint writing... [/quote] WHAT YOU JUST SAY!!!! GET OFF OF TALKBACK. NOW!!!
  • RedRed
    Red aint going anywhere.

    The name of this thread is quite apt...Mr Archer writes a fair bit of rubbish. I would place him in the same catagory as Jackie Collins.
  • St ForceSt Force
    GO!
  • RedRed
    No, I was here long before you.
  • St ForceSt Force
    YEAH WELL....... SHUT UP!
  • RedRed
    Make me.
  • doradora
    Oh STF, please be quiet. This isn't how to behave on TB.
  • PiperPiper
    Stf. You're being really rude. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. Just because it's not the same as yours doesn't mean they should leave or shut up. That's getting on the line of abuse. You wouldn't like it if I did it to you.

    I can't comment on Jeffery Archer since I don't really know who he is. By the sounds of it...I don't want to.
  • doradora
    Unless of course if this isn't STF. Maybe one of his "friends" has hijacked his log in?
  • SilentTonySilentTony
    I bet StF does have a lot of logging friends. I hear lumberjacks are his type.
  • doradora
    :) Oh I dunno, more like a collection o'floaters in my opinion.
