    hmm you could say that but there's no hints of the matrix or anything like that, obviously I can't destroy my work and explain the entire story including the twist but it will be different, I am a fan of the matrix but did not get the idea of the ...

    Thanks for the luck but I don't think this has been done before, I haven't fully explained the premise, these people aren't living their lives in the same world, I mean everyone is in one big delusion, they live these lives within their minds and ...

    I fear that this premise has been done several times now. You need a twist of some sort to make it different. Do all these different people impact on each others life unknowingly? If there is no connection, you may find it disjointed. Good luck with ...

    d m. chatwin wrote a new blog: "The Great Delusion: The basic outline".
    Here is an idea I have for my novella which I have begun writing. People living different lives in different ways, unaware of each other's existence. Living in their own worlds of endless possibilities, people living their lives as pirates, some ...

About

There's not much to say really, you know what I look like and from the side panel you pretty much know my preferences.
I write any genre I can, I write science fiction in my short stories and for my novels I write general fiction/Travel writing.
I am currently writing my novel "Junction 10: M6 and Home" which you will be able to read on my blog, at the moment I'm posting as I go along to get various feedback from fellow writers. I am from The Black Country in the West Midlands and I write in my dialect so if you have trouble understanding what I write then tell me and I'll translate. We have a strange way of wording our words so what may seem like a mistake may not be a mistake (unless it's blatantly obvious).
Anyways that's enough from me, I hope you enjoy reading my work and I'm sure I will enjoy reading yours!
Long days and pleasant nights!!

    I'm stuck in bed with tonsilitus all week which really sucks. Have got a lot of writing done though I suppose.

    Just got this really weird message from this person who joined the Cloud and has been sending crazy messages if love to everyone. Its really weird. Her wall is just full of comments like 'I see there's another three people below who got that message I think you might have the wrong site and no I don't want any photos'. lol so random

    Hi d.m. and welcome to the cloud. Some people find that if you copy and paste to the computer notepad, then copy and paste onto here, it pastes better. Apparently the notepad clears all settings, or something like that. You should find that improves the appearance and makes it easier to read.
