Rosey Mucklestone started the topic Scene critique (hi, it's me again) in the forum Novel Critique Requests 10 years, 5 months ago
Yep, it’s the same book I’ve been doing this for. So you get more Cobalt @kate-flournoy. 😛
This part is a huge turning point near the end of the story, so I just need to make sure I’m getting everything polished up here.
So, polishing tips would be nice. 😉Background for this scene: Jean accidentally cut off the communications with Frost, who…[Read more]

Awesome topic! I especially love your stone story idea @kate-flournoy. 😉
Lemme see… there’s one that I never finished about a Irish girl taken captive by Vikings and makes her way back after escaping with one little dog, one big dog, and one massive eagle. I basically wrote the whole thing while listening to the soundtrack of How To Train Your…[Read more] -

@Daeus, YES, THIS IS SO HELPFUL. Thanks for sharing, Daeus! I struggle with “telling,” too, and it’s nice to know that I’m not the only one. 🙂

*shrugs into huge furry usurper’s cape, swirls it dramatically, scowls at topic and adjusts massive golden crown* Topic— I have come to usurp you.
I guess the most important thing I’ve learned editing my WIP is a little difficult to put into words. The key symptom is over-describing things, but that’s not really the problem. Or rather it is,…[Read more]

Your game sounds like a story I tried to write. It was an attempt to do a fairy tale spin off by putting Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel all in the same book as sisters. Their parents left on a journey and their evil uncle tried to take over the throne.
@rolena-hatfield, Ooo, that’s a great story idea! 🙂 That would…[Read more]

AWESOME TOPIC @DAEUS. I agree one hundred percent with everything you said. Do you mind of I ‘usurp’ 😉 your topic and share some things I’ve learned through editing as well?

@rolena-hatfield Thank you. I’ll see if anything comes of it. 🙂
I once had a story idea about a boy whose father leaves to head to the other side of the mountain to become king. He leaves his wife and son behind. The boy goes after him. Along the way he makes friends with a wolf (who is the main character, he’s the narrator) and ends up saving…[Read more]

At least, I think that’s what the age requirements say. Maybe I have it all wrong. I don’t always read stuff right when I’m tired . . . I’ll read it again in the morning.

I have just made the sad discovery that Kingdom Pen now has an age range/limit as part of some of their submissions guidelines. In under two months I will be twenty-one, and too old to submit short stories, or poems, or serial novels (not that I had any plans for the last one, but it’s worth mentioning) to Kingdom Pen, and I haven’t even started…[Read more]

Alright @daeus I’m off. *Writing hasn’t been forth coming so I’ll stop now.* So I really didn’t get much done. 🙁 *Grr I need to think of a good idea to write about.* Think, think, think….
