Chances are, avid readers also write, or at least aspires to. A work in progress can be at literally any phase to talk about it! It can already be in the proofreading phase, or simply be an idea in your head. Personally, I love to hear other's ideas. Talking about them with others helps us come to writing decisions in our own minds, and it gives us constructive criticism that can make our writing even better. I'll start with a little info on mine. I have two in progress, and two other ideas which I have yet to brainstorm on. For now, let's just call them Book One and Book Two. Book One is a fantasy with my take on grim reapers. I know that grim reapers are used a lot in supernatural writing, but I hope I can give my WIP a unique twist to it. It takes place during a medieval period. Think "If there was magic on the earth, how could that affect the world and its events?" Again, I know it sounds kind of cliche, but it sounds so much better in what I have written so far. I hope it can live up to my imagination and that others will love it, too. Book Two has more of a science fiction heist theme. The story takes place not too far into the future, but just long enough for people to think, "Hey, this isn't modern fiction." The MC's goal is to infiltrate a maximum security prison doubling as a scientific facility (that obviously has ill intentions), expose it, and free the prisoners. His motive... Well, it's a long story. Of course, it isn't going to be that easy. It takes skill, and sometimes power. Most likely, the MC won't be able to accomplish it on his own. He'll need some help, but sometimes he is unsure of what kind of help he receives. Sounds pretty cool, right? I sure hope so. For anyone joining later who want to ask questions and discuss, feel free to reply! I hope you have fun, guys!
