Any writers out there? - The Drunken stepFORUM - A place to discuss your worthless opinions

Ok at the suggestion of n2tattoos I'm gonna ask if there are any writers out there? Wanna share anything you've done? Tips, resources for things you find useful in your writing or anything like that?

At the moment I've not got anything to share that I haven't already shared. Although I do have to say Creative Commons is very helpful for sharing work you've done.

I mostly write for school and a few secular organizations on religion.

I wrote a Childrens book when I was in 5th grade. "Super Chicky" My mother-n-law who is an Early Childhood Ed. Professor says I should try to get it published

I need to find my red Mead folder where I wrote songs in the late 80's/early 90's

Yeah, I wrote songs too when I was younger. They were all about the government screwing people over and the use of robotic police that made sure no human was out at night. I had written enough for three albums, each telling this story with a beginning, middle and end.

I write films, songs and am currently working on a book of incredibly short stories.

I took 3 Screenwriting classes is school. I developed 1 full film screenplay and a couple of other ideas that never came to fruition.

Since then I've written 2 episodes of a collegiate comedy sitcom called "Prerequisites". I wrote it like almost 4 years ago. I thought it was witty and original, even though the premise was a complete rip off of "Arrested Development" (narration, reality style shooting). And after just recently seeing it for the first time, I now realized a lot of the story plots were virtually identitcal to "Undeclared". So that's in the crapper.

I recently wrote a full pilot episode for a zombie sitcom me and my cohorts tried to shoot. We got 7 1/2 minutes shot and were intending on making it a webisode of 7-10 minute shorts per episode. We never finished it, but we cut the 7 1/2 minute version down to 3 minutes for FX's Always Sunny Sitcom Competition. We did not win. Not even close. But you can view our movie here:

I play the skeezy fat guy opposite the poofy haired guy. I suppose that can serve as my "This is me" post.

Also, this was a student film we had to make for one of our classes. We never wrote anything, we just came up with an idea, shot that idea, and then expounded upon it further. This was the end result, feel free to bash it:

I write, i am freelance and write anything i can. Normally its just magazine articles. Have written loads of other stuff too from short stories, poems, lyrics, even text for websites.

I am working on a couple of books. These are quite a big project for me and are my babies. One is semi-biographical telling a warped story via a suicide note. The other is a comedy, sci fi story more aimed at young teens.
