Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Titles are going to be the death of me… in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 10 years, 3 months ago
*smiles bleakly* Good advice @Daeus. I guess I will.
And I have begun to despair of that. :/ If one title fits in one regard it almost certainly won’t in another; that or it sounds off, or is too dry, or too melodramatic…
Oh well. I guess I’ll just have to keep trying. *brave, watery smile*

@Daeus AAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!!!! *pounds head against wall, squeezes eyes shut and growls in frustration* I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. I can’t believe I didn’t recognize the cadence and realize it wasn’t an original idea. Urrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh…
*sigh* Thanks for pointing it out.

Hey guys @Daeus @Hope @Jadamae @Gretald @Bluejay @Emma-Flournoy @anyone-else-who-was-on-this-topic, what do you think of the title ‘The Way Not Taken’? I know, I know, it’s not one word, but I kinda like it just the same. I’d forgotten about it until today, when a friend brought it up in a letter that I’d been considering that as a title. What do…[Read more]

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic The (Awesome) Summer Writing Club! in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 3 months ago
@Daeus that would be lovely, thank you. It won’t be ready any time soon— possibly not even until next year. It depends on how good I get at this whole rewriting thing in the meantime. 😉
Yes, everyone’s projects sound fascinating. Isn’t it strange to think what a perfectly writer-oriented community we have here? I mean, for my part, I…[Read more]

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic The (Awesome) Summer Writing Club! in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 3 months ago
@Daeus I am anything but un-extreme. 😉 Fact is, when I wrote that, I had literally zero clue that it wasn’t going to be a standalone book. Now there are ten more books to follow it. So first of all I need to make it so it leads into its sequel, and secondly— well— the whole thing stinks. I know, I know— extreme. But it does. Compared to the…[Read more]

Editing my WIP, and then *takes deep breath* I have finally decided to start rewriting my WIP’s prequel. Which I should have done the moment I finished it two years ago. It needs it. Majorly. 😛
I’m also planning to do a bit of work on a retelling of Snow White called The Mirror— just a novella, but fun nonetheless. @Hope got me hooked on…[Read more] -

@gretald heehee… 😉 Thanks for the votes. I’m still wavering on the fence, actually. :/ I’ll figure it out one of these days.

Greta replied to the topic Bible Verse on Writing…and inspirational quotes in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 3 months ago
@Hope I don’t know about Bible Verses, but one I really like is:
Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing. ~ Benjamin Franklin
I also really like this one:
A professional writer is an amateur who didn’t quit. ~ Richard Bach

Wow, I’m gone for one week, and I come back to 6 pages of discussion! SIX PAGES, people!!! 😛
In all seriousness, I really like Reckless and Uncharted, @kate-flournoy. I think I like Uncharted a little better. I don’t know; it just sounds cool. 😉

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Bible Verse on Writing…and inspirational quotes in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 3 months ago
It is fascinating @Hope, I’ll give it that. 😉 One favorite quote (can’t remember who said it) is
‘There’s nothing difficult about writing. You just sit down at a typewriter and bleed.’
As far as I’m concerned, that’s pretty accurate. 😛

@writefury The Tangible might work.
And I like the idea of Silence too, @kate-flournoy. Or Rigid.

My summer project is a novella retelling Hansel and Gretel. I’m still in the planning stages though I’m hoping to get an outline figured out in the next week or so.

That’s pretty funny, @bluejay. 🙂
@overcomer Yes, dragons are fun. I like looking at snakes for facial inspiration. But mainly I look up pictures on pinterest or google. I’ve never tried getting enough details down to draw one though. But I did write an article last month about dragons which might give you some ideas. 🙂 You can read it here.
