There is no evidence that any construction has taken place. Physically the door looks like it has been there as long as the house has. <br><br><br>(so what next?) ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ how about having a character who gets this mark on him that is given by the gods that transforms him. almost like stigmata but wrapped in a ficticious skin. maybe a dragon mark. maybe a ritualistic branding that sets him or his kind apart from the rest.<br>I got this idea from what I've experienced first hand, literally. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Being the avid fantasy reader I am, I've noticed one common thread in them all that really gets me going; the &quot;impossible situation&quot; and how the charactes get out of it, usually unscathed.<br><br>My question is, do writers do this on purpose, or does it just happen? ]]></description>

			<link>http://dragonhearth.yuku.com/topic/524/t/Story-idea.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Here's the idea for a short story that I've had for years. I love the idea of a dragon spying on a local princess from afar for years and years and he eventually falls in love with her. Finally, shortly before her wedding to the kingdom's champion, he has the chance to kidnap her, and he does! Her betrothed goes off on a quest to rescue her and when he finds the dragon he is quickly defeated and killed by the dragon. The princess witnesses this, rushes to the body of her fallen love, and... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ What exactly is the purpose of this channel, is it to spin ideas for others to pick up and write with? Is it for us to entertain our own ideas to see what others think so we can write our own stuff? I'm almost positive we're not feeding idea's hoping Tracy will write them.<br><br>So again? What's the point?<br><br>Don't get me wrong, I'm all for sharing ideas and creating fun communities of writers. Just curious, mildly so. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Lately, I've been listening to J.C. Hutchins' podiobook series, 7th Son, which tells the tale of seven clones who are trying to stop the man who killed the president, the very person they were cloned from. <br><br>Beyond the fact that the story is pure genius, I wanted to focus on how J.C. Hutchins is marketing his novel in some nifty non-standard ways.<br><br>7th Son is a podiobook. If you don't know what a podiobook is, check out podiobooks.com. They're basically podcast books. Tracy is... ]]></description>

I've always wanted to write a book since I got started with AD&amp;D back in the 80s. Since, finding and listening to Dragon Hearth podcasts, I've decided to turn that childhood idea into a reality.

			<description><![CDATA[ So I've been writing short stories (5-10 pages) of a character I'm developing. For the purposes of the short stories I haven't had the need to explore the world that much. Mostly just the immediate enviroment.<br><br> In the back of my head I've had some of this world laid out and have started to write it out. So my question to any of you is how much of this world should I be developing? Should I consider places my main character will never go. Should I stick to only locations that are... ]]></description>
