Anne of Lothlorien

Oh, gee. Little kids are hard. I have a nine year old in my stories, and I’m constantly having to slow myself down to a much more basic view of life when I write her.

Like all human beings, you find such vast differences from one to the next, but they’re harder to write about, probably because their minds and thought processes aren’t as complex…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien Mhmm, definitely a writer. (I don’t know what makes me a writer yet…) 🙁

@anne-of-lothlorien I’ve noticed that little kids are cute as well as bundles full of energy. They don’t easily get mad or sad, and are always giving people the strangest things.
When I write little people, they usually end up making people realize what they want, or bringing up painful things that need to be brought up, and yet they are…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien, Actually, I found that one out by researching something else. (None of my books have the black market in them…) I’ve researched a lot of venomous snakes and where they live too. I’ve also looked up what to do when bitten by aforementioned snake, and what not to do. Also, how far can a knife be thrown accurately, and how…[Read more]

@writefury Thanks! And yeah, the names a bit hard to swallow. I was going to name one of my characters it, but for some reason I kept mentally referring to myself as it, so it’s somehow become my unofficial name for everything.

@anne-of-lothlorien Wow, what’s it like being an adopted Elf? I’m only an intern… But I do know a bit of Elvish, so I…[Read more]

You see, I can do it too. 🙂

@anne-of-lothlorien Wow, what’s it like…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you’re so distracted planning a plot twist that you unwrap a Starburst, put the candy in the trash and the wrapper in your mouth. Then you spit it out and make a disgusted face, then morph into making faces that your MC could make when he’s poisoned.

You know you’re a easily distracted writer when you start out…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien I love The Princess Bride, How to Train Your Dragon, and Beyond the Mask (I actually have a good friend who worked on costumes for Behind the Mask– she was an extra in the ball scene, where Will and Charlotte are dancing together– next time you watch it, watch for a lady with a model ship in her wig, and that’s my friend,…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien
I wrote my first few novels (if you can call them such– they were short) in first person, because I was writing about an imaginary perfected version about myself (I was nine, and that was pretty much all I wanted to write about), but then I switched to third person for a really long time. Finally, recently, I tried first…[Read more]

@Anne-of-Lothlorien I really like the last set of names better.
My book is so far titled Name of Duretish.

@anne-of-lothlorien
I find that first person works better if I want a deeper connection with my character and their emotions. Not being an overly emotional person myself, it forces me to be more in tune with what’s going on in their heads. Nevertheless, for some reason I almost always write in third person. Don’t ask me why.

And you can call me…[Read more]

@daeus @kate-flournoy Huh. That sounds like such a good idea. I’m gonna try that tomorrow. 🙂
@kate-flournoy Yes! I think of many things in my own life as a story. I base characters off of my family members without realizing it, include pieces of dialog from our conversations. I’m gonna have to start carrying a notebook more often, though. I…[Read more]

@Anne-of-Lothlorien But Kili died in the book too, so he should have in the movie!! In the book he and Fili died together though, defending Thorin. I so wish it had been that way in the movie. Have you read the book?
Yeah, the alternated “Misty Mountains” one is neat.

@Mark-Kamibaya *abruptly ceases the nodding* 😀 I don’t want to lose my head.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien I like the last ones better.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien I don’t think I have any lung problems…but thanks, I’ll try not to get bronchitis. 😛 Oh, and that is SO CUTE about your two year old brother!! And yes, I’ve been following Blank Mastermind since the fourth installment. 😀 For awhile.
Did you see the BM topic @Writefury started?
I generally like reading third person best,…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I guess that’s true. The Hans scene still works though, because the whole thing was how much compassion Ben felt for him, but he still killed him anyways. I guess that’s how I should have phrased my point. Make the villains feel their consciences very strongly and then go out and deny them.

@anne-of-lothlorien Second person is…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien I write in both first and third person. I love them both. Some stories fit first person and some third person. Then there is Scarlet Rose where I flip between first person, present tense, and third person past tense. It works really well. 🙂

“The Fourth Rule” and “The Last Chance” sound catchy to me.
@anne-of-lothlorien

First and third person usually. It seemed to be the best for the two stories I’m writing. @anne-of-lothlorien

@Anne-of-Lothlorien I like the last four choices— without the ‘the’.
