The Circle/A Ted Dekker Community
The official online community of New York Times best-selling author Ted Dekker.
Official Circle Works
The mods have been pondering ways to organize various topics and discussions and what not on the board, and have come up with a brilliant idea for dealing with the (recently renamed) Circle Writing Workshop, which combined the old Circle Works and Writing Style.
We want people to be able to ask writing questions, but not have their questions lost among posting of personal writings. But we also want people to post their writings and be able to get feedback (and also not get lost).
So here's the brilliant idea:
We can all post our stories, poems, whatever in our blog.
That is what this thread is for. It's the place to post something like, "Hey, I wrote a story about a society of sentient and civilized jellyfish. I posted it in my blog here [include a link]. Check it out and tell me what you think!"
I know, some of you feel nervous about this change. But here are the benefits:
1.) Your questions about writing can be answered and will be less likely to get lost.
2.) It makes good use of this amazing new site and the capabilities that come with it.
3.) You still get to share what you've written with other people.
4.) When you go looking for what you wrote and what people had to say about it, you can find it with ease! It's just right in your blog!
Some of you are thinking, "What about what I've already posted? Are you going to delete it?"
Nope. We're going to leave it. But we do ask that you post it in your blog also, then post in this discussion, linking to your blog. You can copy and paste everyone's posts, in response to what you wrote, into your blog as a comment, then continue the discussion there. We will also (for now at least) give you the option of locking your discussion/thread or deleting it to prevent others from posting in it. Future discussions will be locked, however.
Whew! I think that about covers it.
So remember -- post about your writing here. Give a brief description (no more than 2 or 3 sentences), and include the link to your blog, where the actual writing is posted.
Happy writing!

So I presume there's a separate place for questions about writing, right? *goes looking*

Alrighty... I was supposed to write an interior monologue, but it turned out much different than most of my stuff. I just start giggling when I read it.

I just posted the Prologue and Chapter 1 of my WIP called Dragonfly. it's on my Blog. Simply click on my icon over there and it will take you to my page. Make sure read the prologue first. Don't be one of those people that skip prologues because they aren't "really the story." This one is.
Check it out. I'd love some comments.

You can just create a discussion about the writing question in this (Circle Writers Workshop) category. This discussion is just to hold all the references to writings that we've posted in our blogs. :)

It'd be easy also to simply click "all blogs" and bookmark it. Then you can see the most recent blogs without going to each individual page.

I'm going to post the link to my blog. I'm in the process of writing a story based on the tv show "Supernatural". I've also created a discussion post here in the Circle Writing Workshop thread. I don't know if anyone has read it yet or not. it's just the first 3 chapters or so of my novel that I'm writing. A fan-fiction, really. I'm a huge fan of the show. My wife and I watch it every Thursday and we also have the previous 3 seasons on DVD.
Link to my Blog: http://thecircle.teddekker.com/profiles/blogs/supernatural-the-unseen
Enjoy! You can post any input or anything like that on my blog or on the discussion thread that I have in this thread.
If you're not familiar with the show it's about two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester (yes, like the rifle) that hunt and kill monsters, ghosts, demons, and ghouls. The story I'm writing is an original story based on a previous screenplay that I've written and made into a movie. (a very independant production that is not in distrobution...yet) I really want to get people's take on it and my writing. I'm still trying to find my own nitche in my writing style and I hope you guys can help with some constructive critisism. If you're fans of the show then you can tell me if I've nailed down the characters of Sam and Dean fairly well, and even if you're not fans please give me some input on how I can make things better. I'd love to hear any and all input on this. Even encouragments would help to know that there is and/or can be an audience for my writing. I'm writing my own screenplays and my dream is to be a film director. I also dream of writing the novel forms of my movies that I write and direct. Any and all input would help me out SOOOO MUCH. Thank you all for your time and God belss!! :)
