@alia, @ingridrd, she sounds beautiful! Unfortunately, I can’t draw unless I’m copying, so I’ll have to give it a miss.

@jenwriter17 aw really? I don’t remember Counted Worthy having any bad content (particularly in comparison to the Hunger Games and other similar books). Oh well, that’s fine.

Ooh, I hope you enjoy A Time to Die!! 😛

Hey @kaya-young! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet. Yeah, yeah, @seekjustice, I know you said it first but, *shrugs*

I’m Australian, like @seekjustice, Where in the States are you from, assuming you’re from the States?

Hey @aviantrail! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! 🙂 Hope you really love it here. How long have you been writing? Where in America are you from?

@Jenwriter17 Alrighty, book recommendations coming your way. 😛

– The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins)
– Divergent (Veronica Roth)

These trilogies are both fairly well known. They’re not favourites of mine, and some of the content is a bit iffy, but they’re good for researching the genre.

– Out of Time (Nadine Brandes)
– The Lunar Chronicles…[Read more]

@dekreel I haven’t really tried manga before.  The one time I tried it, he kind of looked like a Roman monkey….

I like mine to be the most necessary lines and nothing more. Like this:

I drew that for the Leumeister a while back.

@Seekjustice

I’m happy saying that I live in Australia, rural NSW because there is a lot of rural NSW so the chances of anyone tracking me down is quite slim.

Oh my word. XD True though. No one is going to scour all of rural NSW for you. XP

@Jenwriter17 Pen names are tricky…I personally gave up thinking of one and just went with my first na…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Ooh boy. Pen names? Welllll…

To get ideas you could always find a name from one of your stories–whether obscure or not.
I don’t think you need your pen name to be completely random either. I mean, if you want it to be, by all means let it be. XD However, I think your name could have more significance if it had some attatchment…[Read more]

XD Haha, how unfortunate! @jane-maree

@Jenwriter17 I basically second everything that Audrey said.

Getting people to read and know you and your blog is simply  a three step matter. (‘simply’ but not ‘simple’ XD)

1) Spend time on other blogs with similar content and styles to yours. Comment regularly, maybe guest post, just be present in the blogger community so that people know y…[Read more]

@Jenwriter17 As someone who writes and reads dystopian quite frequently, I think the main biggest cliche is “MC is a teen who leads a rebellion against the evil government and wins”

As Josiah said, I 10000% recommend reading into some of the good-ol’ dystopian novels like Fahrenheit 451 and the others he mentioned. Along with other more recent…[Read more]

@Daughteroftheking oh my wooooord yes. XD I was giggling through that entire section.

@Clairec If only….Unfortunately I was very private about my Prince-Seeking so I was hiding out in the back paddock when I did it. XD

@winter-rose I’m going to sign out now. I only wrote 695 but I’m happy with that because these beginning scenes aren’t particularly easy to write. Bleh. Anyway, see you around! 😀

@winter-rose Yeah! It’s much better than I’ve been doing. I started a new novel recently, and beginning the first ten chapters is like writing in a puddle of molasses. This dangerous writing app is helping me get over it. 😉

*adds a bowl of ice cream to the grave of the lost words* Let us respect those words who sacrificed themselves for the…[Read more]

Well that’s a tiny gif. XD

@winter-rose Well, 590 to my novel. I’ve done other experimenting too so I’d guess a thousand or so in all. Although…I did this one mode and I lost like 300-400 words. AGH!!!!!!! They were good words too. Ah well, I guess this is why it’s called the Most Dangerous Writing App.

@winter-rose Yeah. It’s pretty intense. XD When I stopped writing for a sec, everything got faded and red. Yikes.

@winter-rose It’s called The Most Dangerous Writing App. Basically, you write for 5 minutes straight without stopping. If you stop, it deletes everything you wrote. In my first test session, which was basically incoherent stuff–nothing to do with stories–I wrote nearly 400 words in 5 minutes, which is almost 5,000 words an hour. 0.0

@winter-rose Yeah! I need some to. I’m testing a new writing app, so I might not respond immediately, every five minutes or so. 😀 What are you working on?
