@dbhgodreigns— yes, I know, it’s awful. I used to fret that my novels weren’t long enough, when I’d first started, and now I fret that they’re too long and no one will want to read them. 😛

It seems to be impossible to strike some middle ground.

@Greta-D yes! Where the Red Fern Grows makes me bawl as well. And Old Yeller, though not in the same way.

I usually don’t cry during books, but I cried during Allegiant (I was literally bawling) and Where the Red Fern Grows (and I was bawling again 🙂 ). And I started tearing up reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and The Seven Sleeper Series.

I’m not doing NaNo…but here’s to all of you who are. 😉

Thanks, @hislittlerose. Sounds really neat. My schedule would not allow me to participate, but it sounds like something I would otherwise love to do.

And yes, I do like to write a lot. 😛 My WIP is currently 291,874 words in length. I’m going to be trimming a lot, but I may also add some stuff, so it’s anyone’s guess as to where it will end up. 😀

Thanks, @hislittlerose! I definitely see what you’re saying. 🙂

Yeah. Okay. I like that. We could do that— the piece of cloth. So does he lose it or give it up?

@Hope— he changes as far as I know. 😛

So here’s a question. What makes him change? Is it Alex? If so, how?

@Ivy: Yes, it’s so sad when you forget it. :'(

You know you’re a writer when you get very emotional about killing off one of your characters.

And then, maybe near the end of the story if he changes, he could give up the fabric as a picture of giving up his bitterness (for some reason I assume he’s going to turn good; am I right about that?)…it could either be something he decides to do. Or he could be forced to used it for something during the climax.

Or, perhaps he could lose it…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you start writing your novel in your head before you go to sleep.

Yeah…

Hey, I just realized we don’t really have an emotional hook thus far. We’re forced to remember without any help what Walter went through that made him this way…

Hm. What if he wears a locket that had been his mother’s around his neck, or maybe a piece of lace that had belonged to her in his pocket, and takes it out from time to time…[Read more]

Maybe try again for better reactions. 😛 You’ll get a comment eventually.

Sounds like fun. 😉

We live in the country, but once we were were filming a fantasy movie so we were all dressed up. We had to walk down the road to reach the location we were filming at and passed our neighbor’s house where a party was going on. The looks we got were very amusing. 😉

I do that all the time, Hope. 😀

You know your a writer when your favorite part about driving is looking at the faces in the other cars and trying to catch a glimpse of their story.

Yes! And when one of your hobbies is looking up into the semis as they past to see who’s driving them. 😉

Good! Please do.

YES! I do that ALL THE TIME.

I know where you can find some words. There’s this really cool book I’ve read, and it’s really helpful when it comes to words.

It’s called the dictionary. 😛

You know you’re a writer when your own villains give you nightmares.
