@Dragon-Snapper congratulations on branching out. 😉

They’ve covered a lot… the only thing new I have to add is pretty small. You mentioned that you’re tired of writing snarky characters and want to try something different, but had no idea how to go about it…

Why do you like snarky characters in the first place? Is it because they come easy…[Read more]

@Kina-Lamb well, that’s pretty sound as far as I can see. 🙂 The only step I might add between the two is figuring out the theme, but I’ve not done non-fiction before, so I can’t say for certain how majorly that would figure in.

In your place, I would just ask myself, What lesson does this story teach me? To have courage? To persevere? To be kind…[Read more]

@Dekreel @That_Writer_Girl_99 @Dragon-snapper @Ethryndal @Daeus @Audrey-caylin @Jane-maree @Shannon @Sam-Kowal wow, thanks so much guys, all of you. Just getting the general feedback and feeling out opinion about the existing title helped me get so much more perspective.

@Jane-Maree, believe it or not, I had actually already considered Destroyer,…[Read more]

@dekreel  Oooooo….ahhhhhh.  😉

@shannon  I don’t know about you, but when I first think of a character, I think of a face/name…and something about them that is weird.  That really helps to get the creative juices flowing a little bit.

When you are actually writing characters, don’t.  Make.  Them.  Perfect.  Make them real.  Make them relatable.  Give them a problem and/or…[Read more]

@dekreel  That’s great news!  Congratulations!  *shakes your hand vigorously*

(And I must echo @dragon-snapper‘s question because I am just as curious…don’t feel obligated to put me into the story but…maybe?)

@dragon-snapper  You got mine.  That one was kinda easy.  😉

I’ve got one.

“We need a plan of attack!”

“I have a plan: attack!”

@dekreel  Thanks!

Jaclyn Fallows’ world has a history of turning upside down.

Like when she was suddenly able to create a small blue flame in the palm of her hand on her eighth birthday.  Or when she started having the same dream about the sister who vanished without a trace two years ago.

But now, at fifteen, Jaclyn is in for the biggest change of her life.  A m…[Read more]

@daeus  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Wow, that flows so much better…I’m gonna rewrite it, using your tips.  🙂

I actually need to skedaddle myself…farewell!

(And to answer your question @shannon, I am not a “coffee hater” but I don’t drink coffee.  However, I absolutely adore coffee ice cream…especially Haagen Dazs.

Okay, I’m outta here.  😉

@audrey-caylin  Thank you so much!   Those are some great ideas.

@supermonkey42 @shannon @emily @daughteroftheking

Here is the new and (hopefully) improved version.

Fifteen-year-old Jaclyn Fallows’ world has been turned upside down—again.  That is about the only part of her miserable life she can understand.  The rest of it?  Not so much.  Sh…[Read more]

@shannon Howdy, friend!  *shovels ice cream into mouth*  *sighs happily*

@winter-rose  Substitute is the name.  🙂  I actually just posted the synopsis here if you want to read it.  🙂

What about you?

@winter-rose  Sorry, didn’t see your post until now.  I’m writing my WIP…sort of.  😉  I’m doing other things in between spurts of inspiration.

@emily  Byee!
