UPDATE

I have five stories left to edit. It’s going much faster than I thought since apparently Past Me is better at editing than I thought she was, and besides a few little tweaks, I’m mostly just rereading the stories (which is so much fun! Though it feels almost like cheating. I promise I am actually editing places where I see problems!) I…[Read more]

I don’t think I can finish the challenge. We’ll see.

Well, to my joy, I am finding, so far, a LOT less things to edit than I thought I would…

…Though, I’m pretty sure anyone else who reads my work will be wanted to strangle me for grammar mistakes I missed and poor scene execution. I’m just blind to it.

Okay!

@ellette-giselle

What is Jonathan’s arc supposed to be?

I just watched Animation vs. Minecraft, and it was super wholesome, I loved it

…And here I am, praising the game and not talking about Alan Becker. XD I still haven’t watched. Next chance I get, probably this week.

I think some YouTubers make Minecraft way too loud and showy. My brothers watch competitive YouTubers and I’ve never caught on to that. The game by itself is much more impactful.

Minecraft is the kind of thing I never thought I’d enjoy. But one day it clicked. I think the combination of the music and graphics have the same uncanny feel as old memories. Pieces of the world make sense, but much of it is random and silent. It’s such a strange, melancholic feeling.

I mean The Nether through Cave Spider Rollercoaster kind of had a story, but it was more like crazy event after another as they tried to get back to the PC.

@ellette-giselle

The first two seasons are definitely not as good, but they’re also just supposed to be fun and developing the character’s personalities. They’re not intended to be as reliant on story.

If you haven’t ever played Minecraft I definitely  see how you might not have liked the first two (or fourth) seasons.

@ellette-giselle

Because the King and Purple’s stories are amazing?

Did you not like it or did you just not find it sad?

@ellette-giselle

All of them? Including Noteblock Universe and The King?

Writers can insert two sides of themselves into that conversation and it still tracks. XD

@elishavet-pidyon

I appreciate the thoughts! I hadn’t thought much about items before – although specific things come to mind. My goal is to make this character less of a person to mourn for, and more of a person to enjoy reading about. *Bows and offers you a jar of glitter to poof yourself back home if needed*

Just did the math, and the entire Baron Chronicles (at 1,500 edited words per half hour) would take me 11.7 hours!

Which means I may or may not go over 12 hours tomorrow cuz, for one, I know it’ll probably take me a little longer and two, I have another short story that I’ve had on my mind related to the Baron Chronicles but will not be published…[Read more]

Hey!

So last year I wrote for 12 hours on July 1st, and I kinda want to do it again if I can. It turns out perfect cuz it’s actually supposed to rain where I am tomorrow so I have an excuse to stay indoors.

I am going to add editing and writing this time cuz The Baron Chronicles needs some more editing love (haven’t done much since…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

I’ve been on KP like a year and a half by now, and I have never seen anyone be that way to another writer here. Most the time, I actually feel like people don’t criticize my writing enough on here.  So yeah, maybe people are like that other places, but I’ve never seen it here. Maybe some jokes, but never anything serious.

Hey guys, I’ve been thinking. How do you encourage a reader to like a character who is already dead? And with minimal flashbacks? And and without being boringly sad? I have a few ideas, but this has been a challenge so far and I was wondering what everyone else thinks.

@keilah-h

lol you know me well don’t ya?

i hope so. XD. i try to pay to attention to people’s charries…even when I forget the world lore…

I’m assuming you saw that image in the school roleplay lol.

Yep. Poor Sniper.

Also, thinking of Sniper getting shot, it hit me yesterday but Medic is definitely a parody of how real army medics will do<…[Read more]
