Hello dakka dakka, i recently started writing my own warhammer 40k novel. I am a new writer i try to spend at least 1 hour a night writing my story, trying to get in as much as 4 hours a night. So far my first chapter is almost complete at around 16-17 pages.

The story is about a chapter of loyalist space marines created in the 13th founding, also known as the dark founding. They are located in the segmentum obscurus. They are named: Stone Custodians.

I was really hoping to meet someone else who writes short stories or maybe even their own book, we could swap information email or whatever, give notes, edit, give advice. Help each other out.

Even if some people are interested in just reading it and saying its garbage or cool, any feedback is good. Thanks!

I write a lot of stuff.

PM me if you want, I will try to help where I can.

P.S. you started writing chapter 1 first? Interesting approach.

You could've just not replied instead of posting unhelpful links.

I assume you enjoy coming across as a rather mannered and unhelpful individual. Because that is what I see whenever you post something in treads like this, either post something helpful or dont post at all.

On topic : Gramarwise I may not be the best one to ask, but as for story line, character development and such I can always help. PM if interested.

You can always just post what you have so far on here and let people review it...

I can't promise to put hours into whatever you send over, but if you have any questions about writing a book at all, I've got one under my belt and a few short stories.

Feel free to PM me and I'll try and help if I can.

Alright thanks guys, well i'm kind of protective of my material and i go over what Ive written over trying to find loopholes and sentence structure. I'm nearly done editing my first chapter. As soon as its finished ill be sending a PM to those interested.

Don't forget to PM me
