@catwing No, I’m not. 🙁  I don’t think we’re going to any more homeschool conferences this year.  Hopefully next year, though!

@catwing Cool 🙂 Did what I said make sense?

@rochellaine That sounds somewhat annoying. Are you around now? I won’t be on tonight so I’m trying to get some writing in now.

@rochellaine, @jenwriter17, @catwing, anyone around?

@seekjustice Oh, oh!  I scrolled up a bit and saw the end of your long post to @catwing where you said “to sum up.”  Immediately, this flashed into my brain:

Anyone around I’m editing my novel/reading a short story for a friend. 😀

@catwing @jenwriter17 @rochellane @valtmy

@jenwriter17, @rochellaine, @clairec, @seekjustice, @catwing,

thank you all for your prayers. I want to write more about how much they mean to me, but right now I don’t know how to express them. Look at that, a writer can’t write 🙂 . But thank you all so much. It means a lot

@catwing

All right, Catwing, I am here to give you instruction in the way of the glorious character arc.

@catwing, @jenwriter17, @rochellaine, @seekjustice, I’m writing and listening to Broadway Mary Poppins. Anyone want to join me?

@rochellaine, bye

@catwing, I’m gonna sign off too. We’re about to watch Mary Poppins

@catwing @alia I’ve got to go now for a bit.  Hopefully be back in a little while or later tonight.  Bye!

@catwing

I’m currently getting ready for church so I don’t have time right now to answer your question, but  as soon as I get home I’ll give you a whole lecture on Character Arcs (hey, wasn’t slope a term invented by Daniel??)

@catwing, thank you

@catwing, I’m glad you like it. especially since its my first ever

@rochellaine, yeah, that makes sense.

Rochellaine, @catwing can y’all see it?

@catwing That’s something I’m not very good at myself, since I had several people tell me one of the guys in my last book had a really quick change of opinion which should have been explained better.  That was two years ago, though, and I think I’ve gotten better, but I can’t tell yet since I haven’t finished a book yet.

However, I would assume…[Read more]

@catwing, I just kinda write and hope they change. Like, I know where they start and where they are supposed to end up, but I don’t plan it. sorry, not much help I know

@catwing, sorry, I’m not to good with writing terms. Could you explain?

@alia Yeah, I never had any trouble seeing them grow up.  It was only three years, and that’s not as much as Bree, Devin and Mikkel grow up in Lois Walfrid Johnson’s Viking Quest series (ever read those?) which is also only five books long.  I understand that it wouldn’t be great if you can’t see them as older than 14.  We have another series wh…[Read more]

@catwing, you should, though I’m afraid that now you have a few spoilers

@catwing, She was saying that she convinced a friend to buy the Mars Diaries so I was wondering if it was you since the two of you had met before
