@Daeus wow. You’re right. That price is insane. 😛

*smirks* I told you guys you could ignore this.

@Daeus oooh! I really, really like it. You’re right— the clean, clear format is very smart and refreshing. A little texture in the background might improve on it, but just a little, and I might change my mind if I saw it.
A subtly ominous feature could work… but it would have to be very subtle to not overbalance the nice clean look. *wrinkles…[Read more]

@kballen
Eeeep! Another one!
I am doing NaNoWriMo, this is my firstish time, but I have done Camp NaNo and have written over the 50k for that so, it’s pretty much the same.

Everyone writes differently. I go to the point of plotting out every chapter and the characters and their arcs and aaaaaah! Aaaaall of that fun stuff!

Some people just go…[Read more]

Nope, didn't fix.

@TheLiteraryCrusader lol!

Now let me see if I fixed something here…

And… wow. That did something really wonky.

@Aratrea @TheLiteraryCrusader okay, do either of you know what the last five buttons after img are for? They just seem to have done weird things with indents… any clue what the actual abbreviations on the buttons stand for?

No hurry. Just be good to know. 😛

@cloudy @daughteroftheking I’ve been trying to do some little sketches but unfortunately I haven’t had time for much. I’ve been really busy with midterms and papers, and October’s turned into a super hectic month. But I bought copic markers though, and have had a lot of fun trying to figure out techniques with them 🙂 I’ll post a couple for you I…[Read more]

@dekreel Diana Wynne Jones wrote Howl’s Moving Castle and A.S. Peterson is actually Andrew’s brother. And A.S. Peterson’s wife is Jennifer Trafton. 🙂 So there, Peterson family tree for ya 😉

Alright guys *throws list of books*

For children’s lit lovers,
The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic by Jennifer Trafton
The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart.
Henry and the Chalk Dragon Also by Jennifer Trafton and I highly, highly recommend it if you love to read something incredibly well written and witty and lots of…[Read more]

@Dekreel honestly and unfortunately, no. You could outline your novel from the beginning (before you ever write anything) but that still won’t ensure that your story idea won’t change as you were writing it. In fact, it probably will, and that’s a good thing because it means your story is alive.

I’m a perfectionist too. I think I would have been…[Read more]

@DAEUS WHY DIDN’T YOU TAG ME FOR THIS. I MISSED IT. *horrified sobbing that trails off into pathetic wails*

We is upset. *scowls* Don’t do it again.

*coughs* Yes. Anyway. After all that drama, I have nothing to say after all, because I love it. And you should definitely write it, because I want to read it.
So write it.

@kballen

Yes I’m on a hiatus right now but I thought I’d just throw this link at you. It might help.

NANO OUTLINING by Brandon Miller

@Dekreel ooh, Night! That is one powerful little book.

For myself… Les Miserables, The Lord of the Rings, Fahrenheit 451, A Tale of Two Cities, The Count of Monte Cristo, A Christmas Carol, Lord of the Flies, the Mistborn Trilogy, The Roman-Britain Trilogy, The Red Keep… and the list goes on. 😛

@ingridrd I’m back…but if anyone comes along claiming I must return to the gold from whence I came, I don’t know what I’ll do. Especially is someone says:

that.
@salome01w4g *lights your sword* Go forth and conquer!

@ingridrd I can’t hug all of them!! I had like 120 stuffed animals…now I have guilt.

*sigh*

My only critique is that I though the dog was real so I was confused when you said the button nose was falling off…but otherwise it is really cute. 😀

@Ingridrd ooh, I’m getting strong velveteen rabbit/toy story vibes. 😀 I love the open end though; there’s still hope. 😉
And… believe it or not I really don’t have any criticism. It’s adorable. It made me feel guilty about my stuffed leopard that I haven’t talked to in ages. And it has that sweet, half-wistful tone of all stories told from the…[Read more]
