It happens more often than you think. You’ve only read a select few of my works over the years. The reason no one died in that particular story, though, was because I had just finished an obsession with a series of novels which was so full of useless, violent death that I vowed never to kill my characters. A bit later, I realised…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking Good bye!

Well, I haven’t read a lot of that either, so…
I still am utterly confused by why people like Zac so much, but that’s okay. I just go with it 😀
I like Northanger Abbey precisely because it makes fun of gothic romances 😉
I know! There’s a lot of people I’ve never heard of before and also some of them are a lot older than most…[Read more]

@seekjustice *pats your head awkwardly* 😛
@rochellaine HIS-FIC!! *overly enthusiastic high five*
Anyway, I’m off. Happy writing, guys! -

By the way, I’ve been meaning to tell you for ages, I was going through an old story of mine and I realised that it has almost exactly the same plot as SFI, except it’s got otters instead of people. However, you would be so pleased to know that no one–I repeat, no one–died in it. Not the Jonas otter or the Zac otter, or any of…[Read more]

I know! I’m sorry! I’ve betrayed you! Please forgive me! *faints like some sort of melodramatic gothic romance heroine*
I’ve actually been a member of Story Embers since it started though. And I did manage to find many of my lost compatriots who have migrated there.

No, I’ve never heard it referenced, as far as I can remember, but I don’t read a lot of 1900s fiction so that might be it 😛
I did see that 😀 And well, he’s hardly at risk of being guillotined in an American college, is he? (I sure hope not anyway).

I think I was cursed with all the world’s sad stories. I don’t know what I did to deserve that, but there you have it 🙂

@seekjustice Haha! I would be the same, except my story concepts are usually so ridiculous, they seem best as kid’s books.

@daughteroftheking I just tagged you with your SE name 😛 See my above post.
Oh, and don’t worry, you weren’t missing out on much.

@rochellaine Oops. My attempts to tag have been thwarted by misspelling. Let me try that again.

@ncstokes @rochellaine
Yeah, me too. I feel that I wouldn’t be particularly good at it.
And even if I was, the parents would not approve.

I’m pretty sure there all still neatly stacked up under the bed. I’m thinking of selling them 😀 Though they are very pretty.
I’m not sure what I think of that statement. On one hand, her father didn’t understand that he’d been gone for her whole life and literally all she had was her faith, which was why it meant so much to her. He…[Read more]

@seekjustice *lights dim* Yes… join the children’s writers side… *ominous laughter* … *clears throat* *lights come back on* Sorry, uh, don’t know what that was about. *acts casual*
@rochelaine Hey there! I’ve never read those books, but I don’t think I would have liked them. I wasn’t big on realistic books and didn’t really get into h…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking That’s good. I wrote a revolution once and that went for a very long time and was quite emotionally draining. 🙁 Maybe I should take up writing for little kids.

NC Stokes replied to the topic Writers' Corner #20 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 9 months ago
@seekjustice Ugg, that sounds quite tedious. Since my target audience is kids/ middle grade, I hope I’ll never have to get too intense. *inconspicuously doesn’t mention all the potentially fighty-er plot bunnies circling my brain*

That’s good. I hate those prolonged ones that force you to keep writing for page after page…those ones are terrible.

@seekjustice Thank you. 🙂 Thankfully, this one should be over quickly. 😛

I just read that article actually. And I agree with it. My mum bought me the full set years ago and I read a few of them, but I couldn’t ever like them. Elsie and I are just too different and she’s suffocatingly perfect. I also didn’t like the treatment of the slaves as something less than human. And goodness, her father is so…[Read more]

@daugtheroftheking
I…um…dislike writing fight scenes. Good luck.
Currently just working on some ideas for a short story I’m going to write and doing some research and reading Rochellaine’s story.
