@seekjustice Ah, I don’t know. Sometimes it’s fun to criticize. I mean, if we know better than the writers, we must know a lot, right? And isn’t it fun to know a lot? Or at least, to feel like you know a lot on one particular subject?
I was just on a quiz website the other day and passed the grammar, history, and literature tests with flying colors. I think that’s one of the things that would go on the “you know you’re a writer when” topic. 😉 Do you like taking online quizzes just for fun?
@valtmy Yeah, just brainstorming here… 😛There is absolutely no end to the amazing and crazy stuff you can come up with when you’re brainstorming! Oh, um, do you like brainstorming? Maybe it’s just me… 😉

August 22, 2018 at 3:19 am #76296I love brainstorming. I have lots of ideas for my stories but the problem comes with linking them together into a tight, cohesive plot that somewhat makes sense 😛
Lately I’ve been getting a lot of inspiration for my other story, Rules of Fate, as opposed to my WIP, QOD. So I am thinking of looking through and uploading the first several chapters of ROF (have about seven chapters already written) here for review. But if I do that I feel like I’ll never finish either story so I’m trying to resist the urge.
Any advice for a unfaithful writer such as myself who is tempted to write another story instead of her WIP?
August 22, 2018 at 3:24 am #76297Of course I like taking quizzes. Particularly history and literature ones 😛
My advice would be this: don’t give in. Or do give in. Depends on how strong you feel.
I’m actually one of the lucky ones who doesn’t get distracted by other WIPs.
Anyway I have to go now 🙂

August 22, 2018 at 3:27 am #76298August 22, 2018 at 3:30 am #76299@valtmy That’s the same thing that happened with my western and DoJ. I currently have been actually writing on DoJ and making notes for my western, but that could change at any moment. 😀
@seekjustice Bye! I’m leaving now too."Sylvester - Sylvester!"
August 22, 2018 at 10:34 am #76301Hi, friends! The reason I am posting this comment is so that I can get this topic sent to my email, not so I can actually say anything. 😉 But since I am here I might as well say hi and I sure missed you!

August 23, 2018 at 8:45 pm #76310@seekjustice @rochellaine I think I know who Quillon is… Okay, not a villain. 😉

@seekjustice You here yet?"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
August 23, 2018 at 10:41 pm #76314@seekjustice, I find it funny that you refuse to kill off Quillon because he is your favorite. I like to kill my favorites off 🙂
@rochellaine, @catwing, @jenwriter17, @ariel-ashira (I still can’t believe you’re back!), @valtmy, @dekreel, anyone writing?WIP - Decisions
Kapeefer til we're old and greyAugust 23, 2018 at 11:03 pm #76315August 23, 2018 at 11:13 pm #76316@rochellaine, I’m doing pretty well. How are you?
I am currently taking a scene that I wrote on paper a while ago and finally putting it into Decisions. What about you?

Kapeefer til we're old and greyAugust 23, 2018 at 11:16 pm #76317@alia I’m doing pretty well, but am extremely tired. However, I have quite a bit of studying to do, so I’ll be attempting to keep awake for a while and review some legal definitions… 😉
Oh, fun! I write a lot of little scenes, and often many of them don’t end up in the finished book, 😛 so it’s cool that you’re able to actually put that in.

August 23, 2018 at 11:24 pm #76318@rochellaine, I am tired as well, but that is because I recently started going to vo-tech school to (hopefully) get my CNA. It’s a two year program and I’m really hoping to be able to pass year one so that I can get into the CNA program.
Is this your first year in law?
This scene was written exactly for this spot. It is when Jycin has a choice to continue living in hiding for the rest of his life and not do anything, or he can take a stand. So I’m trying really hard to make Delmira’s speech a realistic convincing speech.
Can I show it to you and get your opinion?

Kapeefer til we're old and greyAugust 23, 2018 at 11:34 pm #76319@alia That sounds interesting, though not something I’d want to do. I can’t stand anything that has to do with medical stuff. 😛 I hope it goes well for you.
No, I’m actually halfway through my third year. I’ll graduate in December of 2019.
Ah, I’ve even forgotten or skipped scenes I wrote for specific spots in my books. 😉 I guess it’s because I don’t plan very thoroughly, so when I write a scene ahead of time I might have completely changed where the book was going by the time I get to the scene, and it doesn’t work anymore. 😛 I rarely know where a book is going to end up when I start it.
Sure, I’d love to read it! If it’s very long, though, I might fall asleep in the middle. 😉 (If I do, forgive me, and I’ll finish reading it tomorrow…)
