Is this legal?

Since reading On Writing, Mr. the King is my "muse" ... thanks a lot for the visual.

I am going to include "motivational" quotes in I've highlighted from On Writing in this category until he forbids it...

Today's:

(Page 47): "When you're writing a story, you're telling yourself the story… When you rewrite, your main job is taking out all the things that are NOT the story." and "Write with the door closed. Rewrite with the door open. Your stuff starts out being just for you.. But then… it belongs to anyone who wants to read it. Or criticize it."

Overdue motivations

Yesterday (and the few days before) me & J talked about getting back to basics.

Mr. the King says WRITE. Approach the blank page with determination. We're too afraid. Too busy. Too... whatever. Indifference and/or laziness seems to reign rampant.

Well we talked about getting an online "how-to manual" or something like a workbook that would force us to finish simple projects. 1 page. 2 pages. At least that story is done. We'll have become finishers vs. losers. So I Googled "writers training"...

The 3rd result was interesting:

In this article they mention getting a book of "writing prompts" to improve creativity. I bought the eBook, because impulsive buying is what I do. I generated a random number and excercise 136 was up for yesterday. So I pondered and pondered and decided to do "Dune meets The Matrix" but had no idea where to start so I ... proceeded not to write. But I did write today.

The link also offers a free eBook I downloaded and started reading today, and it reiterated something. "Creativity should be shared."

So... I'm sharing. Don't rip off my (our) shit. Because that's what you're itching to do. It's "your lifelong ambition" no doubt. Anyway... Enjoy me my "publishing" my prose.

Later,

BDR

Story Development

By this time, Bruce had discovered Dramatica. A program promising to deliver a complete treatment after asking a series of questions. This, of course, got us fairly excited since we had no idea how to get from here to there. So, we started dabbling with the software, trying to outline the innards of Guns (the backstory, the motivation of the characters, etc), using the software. This is called "illustration" in the software. It was also theorized that we should similarly outline and create "The Fictional Story in Yard Wars." So, we created a file for that approach using the same program.

Also by this time Bruce & Jason had agreed to work on GUNS as their first ever joint project.
