Yes…and I very much enjoyed this one.

You know you’re a writer when you rewrite books you are reading in your mind.
Whew. I was starting to worry that I might not be a writer, but I do that quite often.

I do this all the time. There are books I used to like, but as I read them again, I can’t enjoy them as much. Like Michael Vey. I was only 16 when the first book came out and I l…[Read more]

While at war, I think it would be fine to assassinate an enemy general/soldier/etc. It is war; death is part of war. What is the difference between killing on the battlefield, in a secret mission, while taking out a sentry, or from the top of a building while the man (or woman) is riding in a car. I do not, however, think killing noncombatants…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Yes, I have read The Griffin and the Minor Canon…it was pretty amusing. 🙂

I think…I think I did write a story from a dragon’s POV. Or at least part of it was from her POV. It’s been awhile, and there was a dragon and another character, so I can’t remember who I stayed with. The hardest part is describing them because to…[Read more]

@hannah-c That was one of the first ones I ever saw. Absolutely love it! This is another of my favorites.

ETA: How did you get your video to show up like that?

What I was planning on using the dragon for was just what it was in its time: a predator.
No magic, no talking.
Just an untrustworthy carnivore that breathes fire.

And, my other one from this week:

There was a thud on the grass as a shadow jumped off the brick wall surrounding Smidgen’s Nob.

An incredulous grin spread across his face and a muffled laugh disturbed the quiet n…[Read more]

You know your a writer when your siblings have fan moments just talking with you about your book.

You know your a writer when you take notes when your sick, so your characters’ sickness will me more true to life.

@Hope— yes, there does seem to be a trend towards good dragons. Because first there was a trend for bad dragons… and then people started trying to break the cliche… and now that is becoming cliche… so I guess you could say my dragons are bad in anticipation of the flipping of the cliche again. 😛

Okay— not really.

But seriously,…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer if you would give even a moment’s serious consideration to dressing up in full costume and going out just to see how many people looked at you funny.

You know you’re a writer when you mentally rephrase all billboards on the side of the road to sound more dramatic, be more concise, and more grammatically correct.

Has anyone here seen Studio C? I know someone…I can’t remember who (Ezra, maybe?), mentioned it once.

This doesn’t quite have to do with my original question…but what are you thoughts about assassination during war. Right or wrong? I actually do have a fairly strong opinion on this, but am curious what you think.

I don’t think writing about aliens would be much different from writing a fantasy race and its history…though they would probably have an oddness that even some fantasy stuff wouldn’t have. A big thing I think would make them real (and strange) would be desires and emotions. Though they aren’t human, I’d think they’d have something they want/are…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Hmm, evil dragons. I know they are bad in quite a few stories, but they’ve always been good in mine so far. It would be fun to have a bad dragon though. Or a bad griffin. 🙂
