Thank you, Wulf! All excellent advice. wotf009 I particularly like the title you suggested. "Getting mugged"... and yes, it would have been an excessively long phrase to have written on the mug. ha! ha! ha! Also your comments on ensuring my sci fi elements are integral to my story were gr...

And that concludes our baseline Kill Your Darlings 250 Exercise submissions! I do this at the start of the year to examine where each of you are at, and to give you something to focus on in your writing that might be holding you back. It's my way to quickly get eyes on your work, and to give each o...

GlibWizard, one other thing I forgot to mention. You had an error in your 250: As she walked, the dragon hunter walked made small chirping noises and whistles. Mistakes like this happen when we rework a sentence, and leave artifacts from the old sentence within it. This is why I say to read your sto...

Thank you for the thorough critique. I appreciate your time and I'm going to go check over my work in progress for these errors... wotf009 In hindsight I see clearly that I cut out a synopsis and not a heart, especially comparing it to the 1000 word version. I'm looking forward to hitting this exer...

Not technically a new user but I've been gone so long I feel like I need to introduce myself again. I was able to secure 2 HMs way back in Volume 29, but then between my job and being an adult college student found I had no time or creative energy to do much writing anymore. Now I've graduated and ...

Ah! Well I plan to enter this quarter. Is there a place I’m supposed to put this info? Under Discussion, Quarterly Topics. Here's the one for Q1, Vol. 38. http://forum.writersofthefuture.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8037 People post their goals for the quarter, and then when they've submitted in eac...

Our first month is about to end! One day left to meet the monthly requirements of the Top Gun SUPER SECRETS Workshop Year! You will only have two days to privately message SwiftPotato (AKA Jester this year), with the requirements form I posted earlier. She will post the Top Gun Roster on the third o...

In the Top Gun classroom, Jester kills the combat footage and flicks on the lights. Commander Moon stands to the side of the screen at a wooden lectern. "Gentlemen. Ladies. Top Gun was created to teach ACM. Air Combat Maneuvering ... Dogfighting. That was some of the best flying I've seen to da...

“What are the requirements? Simple. Act like the pros you are. Fulfill your missions. Prove you are the Right Stuff. Win honors and respectable sales for yourself and your teammates. Here is the bare minimum you must do: 1. Write an original novel chapter or a short story each month of at least 300...

Oh! You mean I should put which quarter I’m going to enter? Most of the support occurs in the quarter you plan to enter. This is where everyone cheers you on, talks about how their entry is coming along, and where you will soon say, "I'm in!" It gives some accountability when you state yo...

Hi everyone I’m new to this forum and to the WoTF contest in general. Heck I’m also a new writer. I really wanna go for this thing, but I’m pretty nearvous. It’s a pleasure to sign up here, I hope that I can get some help from some very talented writers. Welcome aboard, MichaelH! Dive in, there’s l...

Let’s not forget our own Leah Ning’s accomplishment, who had one rejection and won on her second try! And Elizabeth Chatsworth. Dave referred her to me for editing on her novel. After the edit, I told her she should enter WotF while she still qualified—her writing and story skills were excellent. Wh...

I’m always available for crits. Send me a pm! Much appreciated! Thank you so much! I just replied. Sorry to forget, mhkuch. It’s hard to keep up with so many but welcome back! And somehow I knew Becky would help you out. Listen closely to her critique. She knows what she’s doing. Best to your writi...

Hello folks! I've been interested in WOTF for a long time and have submitted a couple times in the past. I worked really hard so much to my annoyance, I got big, shiny "R's" both times. I'm polishing up my next story for December, and was wondering if anyone who's gotten at least a HM or ...

To all Top Gun challenge members: Don't forget you must meet the requirements for this month. This workshop year has extra incentive for the members. It's an elimination year, meaning if you miss, we still love you, but you are out for the year. So don't miss! Too keep the thread uncluttered, please...

What GlibWizard said. It’s out of copyright protection. Payment or even seeking profit does not matter. There are plenty of publishers making money off old stories no longer under copyright. Look at the Flame Tree volumes as one example.

Yikes - I signed up for your masterclass a couple of days ago, seemingly just in time! See you there. wotf008 Cool! So YOU were the last one. I asked them who was last and they said somebody from England. Mystery solved! wotf007 I look forward to seeing you there, Alex! Sorry about the messy time z...
