I think some interesting points have been brought up about the troubles with story writing, photo-editing, etc. I just wanted to point out a few things about making LEGO stories.
1 - From listening to published authors and editors that work for publishing companies, I've heard that for almost any published authors (whether it be book or magazine article), the first, second and even third works they write are rarely published. Many famous authors have old books in their home that they wrote and never were able to get published.
>>The Point: Don't stress out too much about how good or bad your story is. Just enjoy writing and sharing your LEGO story. It's gonna take a long time to get your work to the level where masses of people will love it no matter what class you take or how many times your rewrite. Sometimes, one of the best ways to improve your work is to share it and get feedback.
2 - Working with LEGO takes time. The MOCs take time to build, and the photo editing process is long and each photo takes time to work on. And what's worse, after all the time you spend on it, it still won't look anything like what you want it to look like.
>> The Point: Try not to stress out about it. Do your best and publish it with pride.
The biggest problem is that if you have a story that is too long and epic, or your standards for the writing and/or photos is too high, you'll never have anything but a website or less. I know of people who have been talking about their "story" for over 5 years and have published nothing yet. That really doesn't add much to the community (IMHO).
It's better to actually make something you can share with others to enrich the community and share your LEGO Castle ideas.
Just my 2 cents.
Now get publishing!
