    Can Writing Be Taught?

    As I have said this is my opinion but anyway... Yes you can put two or three ideas together but you need imagination to combine those ideas together in the first place. That part cannot be taught to someone without them being spoon fed the information(example: them telling them which sections...

    Can Writing Be Taught?

    I believe that writing can only be taught up to a certain point. After that it is up to the writer to use his/hers imagination (something that needs to be built by the individual). Is it possible to teach someone how to imagine? We all learn in different ways and we all put our own twist on each...

    What essentially is Good and Evil?

    Looking back at what I have said I have to admit that the last part 'good and evil impossible to distinguish between' is completely wrong and I apologize. I do still believe that in certain circumstances an act can be argued being both good and evil but I do agree that at times there are things...

    What essentially is Good and Evil?

    What is your definition of good and evil? If someone has a motive to commit an act that is evil then that person himself does not consider himself to be evil. It's all about which point of view you look at. Laws are made by people who believe that they know what is purely right and purely wrong...

    What essentially is Good and Evil?

    To me the good and evil are just terms that we use so that we can categorize society. This allows us to feel safe and have a good grip on society. No one genuinely believe that they are pure evil; Hitler did not believe that he was evil.You may say that the people who won the second world war...

    Do modern toys destroy childhood creativity?

    One thing I have to say is also tampering with children's creativity is the people who enforce health and safety. A few years ago I think they banned playing conkers in the playground because "it is too dangerous", then there was someone trying to ban children selling cakes in school at a bake...

    Anybody care to share their map?

    I havent continued on developing this story in a while so might end up putting it to one side and starting another story but here is my map that i havent done much on... Map by ~fortifiedsoul on deviantART

    Werewolf society?

    Maybe the werwolves dont have to be 'wild-beasts-that-tear-out-your-throat' they could perhaps have some other sort of limitations and its just that they have been rejected from society for being different. I am sure that there would be traditionalists in leeds around that time who could believe...

    Magic Idea Criticism

    That is a very interesting theory. It would depend entirely on whether someone discovered this theory and whether or not there was a social divide between people who believe that using this magic the old way allows them to build up character as they learn to use their magic sparingly. Then there...

    Magic Idea Criticism

    Thank you. I never really thought of it that way before but using it in that context would be great!

    Starting....

    I'm not sure whether this happens to any other person or whether it is just me.The story I have in mind is colourful and rich, this daydreaming has led to me to hesitate when I think about starting to write the story. The reason being I am so scared of how the story will turn out (and whether it...

    Magic Idea Criticism

    That would be an interesting situation. Perhaps their coud be some form of lock that can be placed on the children to stop them from using their powers. Or if there is not anything to stop them and they find out about their abilities when they are too you ng then they will probably have to live...

    Steampunk perhaps...

    I was using the train as an example though i will make sure that I will keep that in mind when building up the setting. Things like trains will more than likely be powered by another form of magic... I'm just not quite sure what yet.

    Magic Idea Criticism

    I agree and I have decided to split these forms of magic upa dn use them in different settings and perhaps entirely different worlds. I will have to make sure that I concentrate on the story and not the details that may bore the reader.

    Steampunk perhaps...

    Thank you for all of the replies! The merging of magic and the steampunk technology is a great idea though it would have to use a different form of magic since the familar magic that I am currently working requires you to either sacrifice the life force of yourself or another creature so it...
