Hello everyone!
This is just a quick note to let you know that I've put Writing Sprout on hold until some major updates are completed by our provider. The updates will provide the frame work for a vibrant community of writers all devoted to helping each other improve themselves. Until then please feel free to use the site, but understand that there won't be any major updates until the features are released.
Once they are, Writing Sprout will be coming back stronger than ever, with a regular posting schedule and an opportunity for all members to contribute to the website with an easy to use system. There are some great things in store for the future, so check back regularly to stay up to date with it all.

It has some extremely useful information, and I for one will be sure to use the method at some point in the near future. If all goes well Part 2 will be coming out next Thursday, wrapping up the final details of the method.
So, you have a great idea for a story that you want to share with the world. You need to ensure that you have not missed anything, and that your reader is going to understand it. You have the passion, the idea and the skill to let rip. You are grammatically competent, the greatest prose writer and can instigate more twists than a corkscrew. You are “wonder writer” and you type your work, beautifully presented, on your Word Processor and submit it for publishing. Some time later (if you are lucky) you get your manuscript back with a big, ugly thumbs down across it, and more often than not no reason given for the rejection.
Why? The reason very well may be because you have ignored the planning stage.
