Should I?

[Guillati]

<DIV>Would you people out there like to read a story that I will attempt to write? It will be my first written story so it wont be perfect.</DIV> <DIV>Its about an Iksar (I like iksars greatly) Bruiser who feels troubled by his proffesion and seeks to seek a more peaceful path. (Monk) <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Like I said I wont be good probably, and a long wait between entries, but Itll be my attempt.</DIV>

<DIV>That's the smart way to do it.  I dont know how many times I've lost 1/2 a page or more because of this word processor on the forums... :smileywink:</DIV>

<P align=left>Yes please do write your story, the more the merrier. The writing doesn't have to be perfect, as long as you enjoy telling the tale, we will enjoy reading it!</P>

Thanks, I appreciate the help but do you have any advice? I tend to rush things :smileyindifferent:
