1485 - Stanley's Dilemma: A TLIAW
A TLIAW? Whats that?
A Timeline in a week. Like a TLIAD, but taking into account my ability to procrastinate, hence the seven day time-frame.
TLIAD?
Timeline in a day. The PolitiBrits had a rash of them all over the Post 1900 forum last week and the one before.
Wrong Forum then.
As the title suggests, this is set Pre 1900.
Still wrong forum.
This isn't really a TL as such. There's no discernible PoD, and I'm not going to be going very far at all, so I think it might be more suited here...
Right. It isn't a TL, has no real PoD, and won't be finished in 24 hours. What on earth are you doing it for?
The idea came to me last week, and I thought the TLIAD format would be a good one to force me to commit to the idea.
Commit? You've been a member here for how long?
Too long to still be fretting about writing something.
Oh, I get. You're not sure if you like the way you write. The "over abundance of commas" thing.
Amongst others, yes.
So you're subjecting the good folk of AH to this, so that you aren't too scared when you come up with something better?
Maybe. Bit blunt, but maybe.
And you thought this was a good idea to practice your writing style? The idea somewhat limits your chances of writing scintillating dialogue...
As I said, the idea came to me, so I'll publish and be damned.
Despite the fact it's not really a TLIAD in any sense, you've still done this talking heads beginning? Jumping on the bandwagon much?
It seemed like a good idea at the time. Although I'm not so sure now...
Anyway, who the hell are you? I've never even heard of you.
Look, I'm probably more famous for drinking copious amounts of tea (even by British standards) on here than anything else, but I'm trying to write, so cut me some slack, okay?
Why should I?
Sod it, beginning like this wasn't a good idea. You can naff off, and I'll write the blasted story without you.
