@That_Writer_Girl_99 no, I know. It isn’t. 😛 Have you come up with any ideas so far? Need help brainstorming? Seriously, just dump them all right here and I’ll help you pick through them if I can. That’s what we do here. We’re all writers after all… 😉 Even if you think the ideas are dumb, please— share them. I have dumb ideas all the time.…[Read more]

Wow.
Okay, first of all, may I just say congratulations on the very strong character voice. Most people go for the snazzy voices of characters like Tam to carry their story if it’s first person, but I love the subtle yet very distinct tone of Kara’s. It’s beautiful.In fact, your prose itself is actually very strong, and I…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 *salutes* reporting for duty! And really, we’re not monsters. 😀 Just start a new topic over in General Writing Discussions or something and we’ll have a nice little critiquing party with cake and brownies and punch for everyone. 😀 (Virtual, of course. *wink*)

@feedingmygoldfish Piebald squirrels?! *goes to look these things up* What?! Awwwww!!!!! That’s the best thing ever! I’m still partial to my favorite pals the black squirrel. No matter how cute those piebald’s are.
Ah, yes! A book with a squirrel as the main character (and Marvin McNutt! Hahaha! I love that so much!)! I’m so happy right now :p…[Read more]

@Daeus yessir. I stopped doing this wonderful thing once I approached (aka got within ten chapters of :’D) the climax and started really having to rethink you-know-who. My typical writing night was too messy to have too much competition or I would have imploded from the double pressure. 😛 Once I get past the chapter I’m on (wherein about eight…[Read more]

@f5a8c3e92 YES. Much better. *thumbs up* Notice how the details ground you.

@kate-flournoy I had a writing break through thanks to your lovely advice!!! (which you probably don’t remember giving 😉 ) Lemme explain. A while ago I posted a scene from the beginning of my book and your critique was that the story didn’t flow quite right when I wrote like this… he said something, then did something, then did something then…[Read more]

@f5a8c3e92 I like this.
*switches into professional mode* Your prose is stronger than a lot I’ve seen, and you show a lot of promise with dialogue and characterization. Your sense of flow and pacing does seem to be a bit off— the prologue was too short and vague, for one. It didn’t connect me to the story, which is what a prologue is for. I…[Read more] -

@Mark-Kamibaya YES. Rogue One. Everyone. Watch it. The more I think about it, the more sure I may be becoming that it’s my favorite movie ever. Seriously. Everything about it was so well done, and the theme—!
*buries face in hands* Just… watch it. You’ll see what I mean. -

@rolena-hatfield w… wow. *grins so wide she splits her face* That… makes me incredibly happy. You’re right. I did not even remember that. Congratulations. 😀 *returns flourishing bow* In my experience, truly strong prose is usually one of the last things to come… glad it’s clicking in place for you! 😀
@kate-flournoy Oh dear! *hands you some duck tape to fix the split in your face* I surely did not mean for that to happen 😀 I’m glad it’s clicking in place too! (at long last!!!!) One of those things that make you think… hmmm… I wished I’d learned this years ago.
