@Daeus ooh wow, fun! Starting a new project is always exciting. I’m writing now— probably will be until 10:50. You on?

“The pen is mightier than the tomato.”
That’s the best thing I’ve heard in a long time, @Daeus. 😉
And whew, you were up early. Or maybe I was up late… I don’t know. But I can write for about twenty minutes now.

@Daeus yes sir. Planning on it. Tomato minions may get in the way, but I’m planning on doing as much as I can.

Yoohoo @daeus 20 minutes of writing??

BlueJay replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 1 month ago
No worries. I thought that might be the case. *I’ve just finished breakfast* 😀 @daeus I’ll see about doing it later, but I have no idea what I’ll be doing. So I guess we’ll see.

Numbers; problems. That’s all they ever write in me. Multiplication; addition; subtraction; division. I’m so tired by the end of the day.
Sometimes I end up with a really bad case of chicken pox. Do you know how horrible that is?
I wish they’d write stories in me instead. Battles; romance; westerns; fantasy. How much nicer that would be.

@dragon-snapper Oo I love medieval as a genre. My only problem is that my characters all speak modern day English.
Tell me, do you like flying???? -

@daeus Sorry, missed you again!!!!!!!!! So out of practise and really busy.
However, is there anyone who wants to write now? @overcomer; @jadamae; @daeus; @kate-flournoy; @clairec; @anna-brie; @anyone-else-who-I-haven’t-thought-of -
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic If there's one thing rewriting has taught me… in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 1 month ago
@Daeus good idea. Okay people— so near the beginning of the book I had it so one character would be teaching another to sword-fight. I spent quite a bit of time developing their relationship prior to that— one character is so stubborn he wouldn’t have let the other character teach him if they hadn’t known each other for quite some time. So…[Read more]

Ha. Anything, of course. 😉 No limit.
Yes. Besides reading, there’s almost nothing that can better prepare someone for writing than rewriting. Which may sound a bit counter-intuitive, but it’s true.

This thread is for sharing tips about editing and rewriting or handy things we discovered in the process of doing that ourselves.
I shall kick it off because I recently discovered something crucial (with @Daeus‘s help 😉 ). I’m going through the first major edit/rewrite I’ve ever done, so perhaps this is old news to some of you more experienced…[Read more]

Snapper replied to the topic A Dragon's Snapper in the forum Start HERE 10 years, 1 month ago
My passengers are very curious…
I have been writing for three years, but have only just started to develop style and any sort of skill in the past year. My favorite genre is medieval fiction and/or fantasy (hints the dragon), and just fiction in general. My favorite authors are Tolkien, John Flanagan, C.S. Lewis and whole bunch of random others.…[Read more] -
Hope Ann replied to the topic Prophecy Critique in the forum Poetry Critiques 10 years, 1 month ago
So, @daeus and @anna-bria, this is what I have now. I like most of it, I’m just not sure about the final line in the first and third stanza. The line in the third stanza, by the way, needs to hold the idea that the nation will be destroyed if the victor (from the line before) doesn’t unite the countries.
Ancient sign, bitter fate,
Scar and oath…[Read more] -
Hope Ann replied to the topic Have you read…? in the forum Book Discussions 10 years, 1 month ago
*gasp* You’ve got to read Lord of the Rings, @anna-brie! They are so good!
I had Steelheart from the library, but returned it because I didn’t have time to read it. I might pick it back up again sometime. But the next book on my list are the Inkheart trilogy. Joy is reading them and she really likes them.

@dragon-snapper Welcome, dragon captain. So, do you tame dragons, hunt them, or…umm, are you a rogue dragon who somehow slipped past the moderators?
