I wanted to say something…but I’ve been feeling like this too. I’ve been reading books like Half Upon a Time, The Ilyon Chronicles, and @hope-ann’s books. And the sheer incredibleness of their writing makes me almost jealous. I’ve wanted to write a fairytale retelling for years now, but I can never figure out how to write an original one. And…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong…you better not have been talking about rebels!!!!! if so…i will find you, and i will force you to build a time machine that will take you back in time and never write that so that I didn’t have to keep a spoiler from my sisters tonight

@dragon-snapper Yes, it is indeed. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. (Also it’s a really good thing that Aislinn is me because if she wasn’t she would mutiny.) (I still can’t figure out whether to refer to her in first- or third-person.)

Thank you. I must read it. SOON.

@ariella-newheart *nondescript mynock noise*

@notawriter YES PLEASE! Anyone who wants to draw Amber can do it! It’ll sure help my brain.

Thanks, @daeus!

You know what? Funny thing happened today. I was actually thinking about trying to write this part, when lo and behold, the book my mom was reading to us (Prince Warriors) (awesome) had a scene where the kids were taught how to use their swords! So I have a rough idea of what the scene should look like.

Signing out now.  But if anyone asks I might come back…

@jenwriter17 You back yet?

@seekjustice Okay, bye!  See you later!

@seekjustice I got the idea when I watched a movie, and there was this girl I loved, who I thought was a main character, but then she ended up in despair and crying in her last scene, and the end of the movie – probably ten minutes – was without her completely!  I got so mad and decided I could do a better than those horrible mean unfeeling…[Read more]

@rochellaine I’m going to disappear in order to eat lunch 😀

@rochellaine

I remember that one, vaguely. What’s the plot?

Well, I guess I always knew more about Marie Antoinette, I knew that she died and though she did do horrible things, she didn’t have a nice life, and I feel it was mostly through other people’s greediness that she became a “villain”. I don’t even remember being aware that Anastasia…[Read more]

It’s always helpful to be alive

Wow.

Okay, I’m working on a short story set in the 50s.  I’ve had it going for a while, but a few weeks ago I lost about a thousand words and got discouraged.  I was listening to some 50s music on Saturday and was reminded of it, so I decided to try again.  So far it’s going pretty well… 🙂

@rochellaine Oh, I didn’t know the profiles could tell you that! I have been on the forums a couple of times in the past week, just so I didn’t miss out on too much, but no, I hadn’t really been active. I’m glad I wasn’t dead, it’s always helpful to be alive 😀

I’m also glad to be back! I missed the whole lovely community here!

Okay, cool :D…[Read more]

@seekjustice When I’d missed you for several days I checked your profile, which said you’d been signed in recently, so then I knew you weren’t dead… 😀

But you still hadn’t posted in a week, which was why I messaged you.  Glad you’re back!

I’ll be here for a little while – not sure quite how long – and I’ll probably be around again in about…[Read more]

@rochellaine *squeals in return* It’s been crazy lately, but I am back!! I’m hoping to finish my second draft edits before the end of March, so I actually need to put some effort in! And yes I’m here for now, not sure how long I’ll be here, but I’ll definitely be on again in three(ish) hours.

@jenwriter17 I’ve missed you as well! I’ll see, I’m…[Read more]

Oh @seekjustice *squeals* you’re back!  I missed you!

But wait…you posted nearly an hour ago.  Are you still here?

helloooo! I have returned to the realm of Pen. I’ll be editing in about ten minutes if anyone wishes to join me *brandishes red pen and shouts a war cry*

ooh, let’s tag some peoples. @dekreel @rochellaine @winter-rose @jenwriter17 @dragon-snapper

@dekreel I don’t have anything to add to the many wonderful things said here already, but I’ll just let you know that I struggle with the same thing (doesn’t everyone at some point?) and I’m praying for you!

@jenwriter17  Totally get it!  🙂
