I just wrote a story, any writers out there? - 11/05/19 10:45 PM

I must confess two things, I'm not a writer and I'm sicker then a dog right now with some kind of bug. I just can't stand idol time. So I wrote of a memory about a fishing adventure when I was a kid. I don't expect it to go no further then perhaps some enjoyment from family, I'm good with that. Does anyone else pen stories of the days gone bye?

I'm a writer since retiring from law. You may want to post your work in the Pen & Quill forum.

I like to write songs and poems, I am not good at it but I do enjoy it.

I enjoy writing songs and limericks. I have started some stories of my youth but haven’t completed any yet.

I agree with James, you all should consider sharing over on the Pen and Quill forum. Kind of quiet over there.

I wrote science papers, book chapters, etc. for years based on biological research I was involved in. Mostly predator stuff. Shifted over about a decade ago into popular articles for a variety of outlets, a couple books. Much more enjoyable to spin a yarn about a hunting or trapping trip than to argue with editors and reviewers on natural history subjects. And yes, family and close friends usually do enjoy a fictional or non-fiction story. As James mentioned, please submit your tale on the Pen and Quill forum here on Tman.

Good luck...stick with it.

I do a little … I have published almost 200 articles and my rat trapping book since 1972. I have one now waiting to be accepted at Trappers Post. Have had several published FFG and a couple in Trappers post. Since I had the 2 TIAs in 2017 it has become very difficult, but still working on at it … I think it is good therapy for me. I also have been writing poetry since grade school when I had the first one published. I published an E-novel on Amazon and have another one all done, but last 2 chapters, where I stopped when the TIAs hit me. Making notes on another one, but don't know if I will even try it …. time will tell.

I've wrote a lot of articles, most haven't seen the light of day but some are out there. Just whenever the mood hits as I'm more of a stream of consciousness writer.

Have not written any stories but I've been a musician and songwriter since high school. Did some studio recording, sold a few song rights. I've never heard of any of it getting any airtime though.. lol

Sorry if this is not so smart question but.... Where is pen and quill forum?

RonH -

On top of your page, select forums. Scroll down to miscellaneous, then scroll down to near the bottom. You'll see the Pen and Quill heading.

I have enjoyed writing short stories in the past. I haven't written anything for quite awhile but have been thinking about doing some here lately.


Although I never did entirely finish it, I had written a book that many who read it said would be a really good movie.....lol.

Paul scrubbed Pen & Quill a while back. Used to be a lot more traffic there.

People will comment and critique your story there, unless you don't want it.

During the last purge, it was accidentally purged. It was supposed to have been left untouched. Hopefully, it will build back up to what it use to be.

Hey aspiring writers, the Idaho Trappers Association has been self publishing a magazine for members. Always looking for content. Its a great way to get your stuff in print if you're so inclined. Memberships are pretty cheap in the big scheme of things and the magazine is a fun bonus. No need to be an Idaho trapper and to my knowledge reasonably well written material isnt turned away. If you're interested I can get you submission info.

I had three writings in FFG another in trap and trails

Way back in high school
Over 35 years ago I had a writing published that I didn’t even known my English teacher had submitted until I received an award for it.

I have a couple more articles for FFG that are started but I have just stalled on

I have had a hunting story published in a small living history quarterly and a few articles in Primitive Archer magazine. I really enjoy writing, took several classes in college for it and did well. Some times its just hard to sit down and start.

If we're laying our publishing credits on the table, I have a few in the non-fiction genre, most notably an article in F-F-G about a dozen years back. I keep meaning to do another trapping article for that magazine, but my time is mostly occupied with writing fiction.

I have ten stories, ranging from a short-short to a novella in length, that were published in mystery, science fiction, and fantasy magazines. My fiction has won prizes, awards, and other honors, including two $500 cash prizes.

I'm a member of Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America and Mystery Writers of America.

One accomplishment of which i am proud is that, so far as I know, I wrote and had published the first American science fiction trapping story, "Trapping the Pleistocene." Other writers have written stories about time travelers hunting mega-fauna of the past, but I wrote the first trapping SF story with that theme.

Right now I'm attending the Stonecoast MFA program at the University of Southern Maine, focusing on popular fiction. At school in the very heart of liberalism--East Coast academia. Send help!

Quite the credentials, James.
I have yet to be published, although it is a bucket list item of mine. My literary interest also tend towards science fiction and fantasy.
Maybe some day I'll complete a story that's longer than a 3 stanza poem.

I love to read mostly fiction, mysteries, thrillers, etc. I've written one crime story that was fiction.
