@pickupyourpenandwrite How funny! I just posted about this this morning on my blog. XD
Why I Write -
Elizabeth replied to the topic Why do you write? in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
Yo.
So…the reason I write has, inevitably, changed as I’ve grown up. At first, I wrote stories because it was fun. I was a creative kid, and I enjoyed writing because it allowed me to pursue my fun, crafty side. As I got older, however, I started to realize just how much writing meant to me, and I started to dream about pursuing it as a…[Read more]

I was really going to try and wait another month before posting this, because that’s when my actual KP-versary is, but my internship ends next week and I’m kinda (really) sad about it, so I could use some love.
Anyway. March 26th, 2017–almost a year ago–I was sitting on the couch, doing schoolwork, when my mom told me about some ad she’d fo…[Read more]

@Dekreel This is great. XD And I agree with @ClaireC, the small installments are nice; makes it easier to read and in one sitting. 😉
@PerfectFifths If you really could cut in perfect fifths that would be quite a feat.

@ariella-newheart Yours is absolutely hilarious, I love it!
@dekreel Thank you for the laughs, I loved those pictures!! And how long did it take you to find all of them anyway???
Guys, this is the best forum topic ever. Laughter is good medicine! *nods emphatically*

@ariella-newheart Accurate.
@dekreel Ok; not going to lie, that last pic of me kind of creeps me out…

ClaireC replied to the topic Just a Bit… Dismal in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@dragon-snapper, uuuuuummmmmmmm.
yeah.
I’m not going to be much help with this, cause I do the same thing.
One of the things I’ve found helpful is, like @daeus said, insert hope. Your characters should be driven by their goals.
Unless your MC is like mine, who is just plain hurting and miserable, and kind of takes it out on everyone else.…[Read more]

Audrey Caylin replied to the topic Just a Bit… Dismal in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@dragon-snapper do you mean on a scene to scene basis, like too much reacting, or just in general when you’re describing emotions? Just having one emotion indicator can help, like if your character is scared, only mentioning her rapid heartbeat rather than her wide eyes, her rapid heartbeat, and her clammy hands.
I think it’s still fine to have…[Read more]

Ethryndal replied to the topic Just a Bit… Dismal in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@Dragon-Snapper Is this problem arising in the current story you’re working on, or all of them as a whole? Because child, I’m almost finished reading your book, and I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. If anything, I was going to say that you need to focus more on the emotion, not less. Is this a response from beta-reader feedback, or…[Read more]

Snapper started the topic Just a Bit… Dismal in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
Alrighty, guys…
I could use some help on this front. I’ve learned pretty well over the past few months how to show and not tell, but I actually am using that too much.
Don’t get me wrong. Always show over tell, but my problem is that I’m focusing way too much on the emotion. And Ike… Zelaya, they’ve all gone dismal.
How do I refocus my…[Read more]

Ooh, yikes, I’m so glad you’re okay. 🙂
Comical autobiography… that sounds hilarious. 😛 Is it about you?

Up to much mischief, my dear friend…

@rochellaine Oh, yeah. 😛
I didn’t think so, which is why I stopped at four verses. But now I want to try – it just may take longer.
Hole, thread, cut, sharpen, stone, water, well… Oh, I know, it gets too late to go to the well, so you have to sleep. With what shall I sleep with? With a blanket! There’s a hole in my blanket! XD

@rochellaine One thing about sewing… the thread can never be too long (okay, maybe it can, but better too long than too short). But yes, it is a pun, and I didn’t realise it until you said so. XD I was just making my own version of the song “There’s a Hole in My Bucket.”
