Perhaps you should do a slightly stricter outline for your books.
Hm… yes, more like ‘perhaps you should do an outline for your books.’
Believe me, I’m trying that with the next one. 😛 It can’t hurt to try.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Alright, I'm starting HERE. Hello. in the forum Start HERE 10 years, 9 months ago
Ooh… that’s a tough question. My absolute favorite poet of all time is J.R.R. Tolkien. He’s slightly famous, though not necessarily for his poetry. 😛
I love just about every kind of poem there is, though I tend to gravitate to sagas and ballads more than anything else.
As for what kind of poetry I write— well, it’s kinda difficult to…[Read more] -

Sloggels! I’m adding that to my dictionary!
It’s a time thing. I realized halfway through the book that I spent waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy too much time with not really important things in the first half, so once I finish writing the thing I’m going back and fixing a lot more stuff than I ever had to fix before.
And I was exaggerating……[Read more]

Glad you guys like it. 🙂

Welcome to the Kingdom Pen kingdom, MK! Always great to have someone else to bounce stuff off of. 🙂
Glad we are so interesting to stalk. 😛
Gosh, I had no idea how prominent Ohio natives were on here. Well, I know I shall have quite a bit of fun if I ever visit the state. Though it is a long way from my personal soggy swamp of a homeland.

And I’m trying to hurry up! I’ve got at least five people on my back, so I’m bound to finish it at least before the beginning of 2017… maybe… 😛 😉

‘Pickiness is the mother of perfection…’ I like that. That should be my motto. 😛
Thanks Daeus— all very good points. I should probably do everything you suggested…
The thing with Gair, though, is he can be really nasty. Not the sort of person who just invites friendship. Besides that, he looks sinister even if he’s on your side, and…[Read more]

Welcome, @mas410! Welcome welcome welcome!
I knew I’d been having a creepy feeling of being followed these last few months…
But this is the bestistest place on the internet. In my humble opinion. I don’t blame you at all for stalking it. 😉
I live in Southern Ohio, and love poetry too, though I don’t have the level of skill it takes to…[Read more]

Hahaha… so fun, @writefury! I don’t think I’ve seen the Studio C you’re referencing, but I got the story just from the poem. 🙂

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Yes— it's Another One in the forum Novel Critique Requests 10 years, 9 months ago
Thanks so much, @writefury! Denholm and Cobalt should be friends. 😉 😛
I’ll definitely work over that line and see if I can enhance it a little… it’s funny, because I didn’t really see that line as anything all that special or out of the ordinary, but now that you mention it I can see it has potential. 😀Yes, one thing I forgot to mention is…[Read more]

Rosey Mucklestone replied to the topic Yes— it's Another One in the forum Novel Critique Requests 10 years, 9 months ago
I really like this, Kate! Really cements the like of Denholm I already had. 😉
One line that stood out to me and I’ll comment on now before a more in-depth read over. “Monotony becomes monotonous.” It’s funny and made me smirk while reading over it, but I think maybe with some rewording or additions it could be funnier if you want it to be.

Not really looking for a critique on this because it was more of a silly free-time thing than a serious poem. But there are enough Studio C fans on here that I thought you guys would enjoy this.

The greatest game of all the year

Hey guys… you know you’re really, really helpful about this critiquing thing. I have a short little excerpt I would like feedback on… I’ll try to avoid dumping another one so wretchedly long as the last on you. 😛
Any thoughts at all are appreciated— the MC of this scene (Denholm again 🙂 ) and his companion (Lord Gair) are sneaking through…[Read more]

A logo is a good idea. Currently I’m thinking about changing the header of my e-mails to plain text…or maybe not. I looked up Fiverr and that could work. Though you have to pay extra for colors most of the time and if you want to have full rights, you pay more too. Maybe I’ll see if I can get my brother to help me. He’s good at art stuff when he…[Read more]

@Daeus Thanks. This is the first time I’ve tried something like this, so any and all kinds of feedback and suggestions are appreciated. 😉

Well, what is Christmas break for if not catching up on writing and putting things I’ve been learning into practice? 🙂

The romance doesn’t have to be an overt story plot either; it can just be a quiet subplot that filters in though the story itself (if that made any sense).
