Sorry I can’t help you, @daeus . I’m just taking a break from labeling my notes. (Worst job EVER!) It’s taking a lot longer than I anticipated …

@Emma-flournoy It’s not a problem! I’m not the best at responding in a…timely manner. 😉
What are some of your favorite books (someone probably asked you that already but anyway)?

*sneaks in* *peeks at topic* Hey… @Daeus, sorry I didn’t respond for the last couple weeks! I was gone for the first week, and I was really busy last week…
So back to Animal Farm. I think one of the areas that Orwell really does well is foreshadowing. In the beginning of the book, he puts in subtle warnings that the animal characters don’t…[Read more]

Or you can write short novellas on characters or give extra scenes or secret pages to those who have read your books and/or joined your newsletter. 😉

As for yelling, you must also use your mouth. And your hands cupped around your mouth. The mountain tops are best for getting your voice spread the furthers, or so I’ve heard. But since there are…[Read more]

@Sarah-h *nods approvingly* excellent choice, my dear. 😉 His kind of character is always at the same time both very funny and somehow very sweet, without meaning to be. The kind who joke about everything just for the sake of laughter, and whose outlook on life is so amazingly positive it’s almost impossible to bring them down.

*chokes* Sure @Daeus, thanks. I’ll keep that in mind. What a revolutionary trick. It’s like I’m breaking unbroken ground here… I’m not used to living so dangerously. 😀

Videos @Daeus? *perks up* Cool… where am I going to get the actors? 😛 😉 Seriously though, that would be fun.

Okay, guess I better start polishing up my yelling skills.

@Hope I know! *sniff* All the backstories of all my different characters are so complex and amazing (‘scuse me while I pat myself on the back) and yet good writing compels me to ignore them.
*sigh*
Oh well. Maybe one day I can turn all the backstories into books of their own. 😉 Fans would love that, don’t you think?
*gulp* Assuming I have any fans… 😉

@Daeus root beer, please. However romantically medieval ale may be, I don’t find it appealing at all. 😉

I agree, though it is sad. That’s the problem I have with one of my WIPs (Scarlet Rose). I’ve too many subplots, some of which don’t really have to do with the main plot. And I’m going to have to go though and trim plenty of parts and figure out what to focus on and what to just let be part of a character.

@Daeus what… is that?!?? It looks like tankards of ale. 😛

@Daeus got sick of cookies, did you?

@Daeus ha! You didn’t think I wasn’t going to see this through!? 😉
Hm, worst chapter? Uh… probably eight. Nothing particularly wrong with it, it just wasn’t as full or unique as the others. Except the ending, which is perfect.
Oh, and also the ending of chapter ten was a bit rushed. I forgot to mention that. It wasn’t as coherent— all…[Read more]

@Daeus wow, impressive. I’ll read it for you again when you’re done.

@Daeus Humph.

Do you hear that @Daeus? That’s my very evilest of evil laughs.

@Daeus I am, but it’s going to be pretty scattered and interrupted, so I don’t think I can race you tonight. Best of luck though.

@Sarah-h isn’t it lovely!? *ahem* Who was your favorite character? 😉

Oh, hi @gretald! *gulp* Sorry for the late reply; somehow I missed the notification. 🙁

Yes, I am! Shocking, isn’t it. 😛

@Daeus I know! He pulled it off perfectly— and this is where I think the essence of ‘show, not tell’ is really made clear. He didn’t tell us anything. I mean, we literally have nothing that he gave us to base our opinions on. For all the story gave us, this could be a turn for the better.
But if we have even the most basic sense of human…[Read more]
