If there are any budding or aspiring writers in this place, allow me to give you this tip; endeavour to make your narrative voice as familiar as possible. If your voice is familiar then it’ll give the reader an easy transition, the more familiar the voice the less transition there will be. And it WILL make your story stand out and it will make publishers/editors take notice. For example: When I began posting in this place my voice was familiar with people, so much so that they thought that I had a pre-existing relationship to this place. Hell, I’ve lost count of the amount of posts who I was mistaken for. In hindsight, that absolutely gave me a boost when it came to the narrative voice question, not that it was ever a question, but if it ever were, it would be answered. Do I have a familiar narrative voice? Quite clearly. I have an innate talent for it, but you can develop it if you practice. The next 2-? Months it’ll be nose to the grindstone for me, so there’s little to no chance of me returning in that time. Will I return at all? I don’t know. Thanks to you all, and I genuinely mean that.

NorthernJambo Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 For example: When I began posting in this place my voice was familiar with people, so much so that they thought that I had a pre-existing relationship to this place. Hell, I’ve lost count of the amount of posts who I was mistaken for. Think it's just because you post a lot of shite and even in my relatively short time here there's been a lot of folk posting a lot of shite, as ever H2H [emoji4]. Best of luck with getting the work done and hope it's a success, because I'm a nice c**t really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read the last couple of pages and was about to post this. I can't imagine anyone wanting to read a book by this SlayerX persona for enjoyment, there's no chance he's getting a publishing deal imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Andrei Kanchelskis' autobiography is out and in it he reveals that Barry Ferguson used to eat in McDonald's three times a week. He also details that when the Rangers squad was rewarded with a week in Marbella following a title win he looked into the best restaurants but found that the Scottish players just used to eat in McDonalds and then go and get pished in Linekars Bar. Having said that David Murray paid for the holiday so the bar tab in Linekar's is probably still outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moo Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I don't see the fuss with the above either. Although he's not had a blistering career, John Rankin used to say he ate clean all year then treated himself in a short period between the end of the season and pre season.

Dunning1874 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 But but but Barry would have been good enough to play for some of the best teams in Europe if it hadn't been for injuries! Would have loved to see how the management at Juventus or Real Madrid would have reacted to him eating fucking McDonalds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
