Thanks… *awkwardly trails off*.

I’m glad you weren’t  (overly) traumatized by my story. I aim not to utterly destroy my readers ( just my characters *sinister chuckling*)

But seriously, thank you. It means so much.

@rochellaine

That happened to me once but I just googled how to restore unsaved changes or something like that and found instructions on how to get it back! It worked too and I was so pleased!

@waterlily *tearfully accepts sympathy* *cheers up* Maybe!  I hope so.  I remember the gist of what I wrote, so I’ll go from there.  I guess 500 words doesn’t seem like a whole lot in novel terms, but it was for a short story, so a whole page missing is probably about an eighth of the whole thing.

Somebody sympathize with me, please!  I just found out I lost probably five hundred words that weren’t autosaved when my computer died!  🙁  I was really stupid not to save it every five minutes, but it’s too late now, and it’s all gone.

@waterlily

Oh thank you! I’m so happy that you enjoyed it!

@rochellaine

Thank you, that means so much to me 🙂 I did my absolute best to make the ending hopeful and not too depressing because I hate depressing books (I don’t like Romeo and Juliet either. It’s overly melodramatic and depressing in my view)

I sing a lot too. I mean why talk when…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Could you point out a place where they aren’t relevant?  I can’t find any myself, but that could be because I wrote it. 🙂

@warrioroftherealm No, I don’t think that’s too cliche, although its definitely been used before.

It’s a great way to quickly and accurately send a message (from a relatively short distance). A funny way to subvert that would be to have the person shooting the bow be a horrible shot, and miss, and then either have to walk over to the arrow and…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Thank you! I meant to tell you that I found it before. 😉 It was actually published here on KP a while ago, I think. And it’s really helpful. I just reread it. There’s so much to learn.

@that_writer_girl_99 Kind of, I guess. *face desks* Actually, tbh, no. Not really. I’m still figuring it out. But more, what I’m wrestling through now, is actually showing the theme is a way that’s not preachy. I’ve decided not to have God actually in the story, but to try to portray it as a reflection of his glory. This is tough. XD But I’m…[Read more]

@winter-rose Good bye! I think I’m gonna go too. Congrats on the breakthrough! 🙂

@seekjustice “Only One main character dies!”  I might be able to handle that.  At the end of Stars Fill Infinity I totally agreed with Chess that I couldn’t take it anymore!  🙂  By the time you finish the sequel I will probably have healed from the trauma of watching all those characters die.

But seriously, though I usually do feel like that…[Read more]

I’m switching stories now.

@winter-rose I’m working on a story about an amnesiac girl set in Demark around 1000 ad roughly. Right now they’re trying to save a person from freezing to death. How’s your writing comin’?

@winter-rose Ahoy there! I be writing! 🙂

@daeus, thanks.

I meant plot, not theme earlier….

I have a girl that needs to be drawn.

Precium, or just Cium

four years old, chubby round face, bright smile with on dimple, green eyes, wild wispy curly golden blonde hair that frames her face. a plain dress that reaches just below her knees and a woolen cloak that is about an inch longer with a hood usually off.

shy, but brave and kind. later…[Read more]

@rochellaine They’re not irrelevant, but having things about his street life pop up in his mind mostly when things in the scenes remind him of that life, and only things relevant to that moment, would help to organize his narration more.

I think readers will learn about why he acts the way he does simply by learning about what kind of person he…[Read more]
