ClaireC posted an update 8 years, 3 months ago
Woah. I can’t believe we’ve both been on this forum for so long and a) I never ‘friended’ you, and b) I didn’t discover your blog till yesterday. YESTERDAY! And I have to say I’ve never laughed so hard in my life before. Tears were flowing. I sometimes laugh like that with my family (they’re nearly as funny as yours! 😉 ) but I don’t normally…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer if you get excited when you see the “You Know You Are a Writer When…” topic has been updated.

Snapper replied to the topic Short Story Characteristics in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 3 months ago
Heh. You tagged me.
Welp, writing short stories is actually really difficult for me. The only thing harder than writing a short story for me is coming up with a character’s name. XD
But I’ll give you what advice I can from the few successful times I’ve written or read short stories.
So, if you do have a big story world, don’t…[Read more]

Snapper replied to the topic Would You Read This? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 3 months ago
@waterlily This does sound like a neat concept! The only thing that doesn’t quite make sense to me is how the seawyrms could have her family crest marked on them? Am I just misunderstanding? Of course, when you go to write this you can definitely explain in better detail. XD

@dekreel That sounds frustrating–sorry you’ve been running into that! Is there a recent forum thread you can point us to where you’ve had this issue? I’m wondering if for some reason the forum software thinks your comments are spam and is trying to remove them from public view.

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic How do we define "worth" when there is no actual God figure in the story? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 8 years, 3 months ago
@livgiordano I second what some other people said that I don’t think you can fully do this without mentioning Christ. That being said, I don’t think you need to fully explore a theme or provide a full message within a short story. As long as you explore several true aspects of the theme & message and are pointing readers in the right direction, I…[Read more]

Jane Maree replied to the topic Book Recommendations in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 3 months ago
@Sam-Kowal Arghh yessss. I started Words of Radiance last night and so far I’m loving it too. *lots of flailing*
Kal, Shal, and Dal though. XD That cracked me up. Kal is definitely my favourite though. *hugs the precious bridgeboy* xP

Jane Maree replied to the topic Which Idea Should I Tackle Next? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 3 months ago
@Jenwriter17 I concur with the others and say that 3 POVs is fine.
I’ve found a couple of posts on Helping Writers Become Authors that you might find helpful:

@sage-g Wow, that’s fabulous! Thank you so much! This is why I didn’t attempt it myself. 😉 I can’t draw like that! :0

Jane Maree replied to the topic Email List 101 in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 3 months ago
@Mariposa artwork would probably fit the bill too. Remember that you don’t have to stick with the one option forever. You can play around with every email you send out. 😛
@Daeus I’m curious that you say that. When I sent out my first newsletter I had no pictures or anything and the biggest lot of feedback I got was for “more photos and…[Read more]

‘Unfriends’ we are no longer. 😉
BUT THIS MAKES ME HAPPY. Seriously. My blog gave you LAUGHY TEARS!!! When I started it, I honestly just wanted to bring a little joy to the world, so when people tell me that it made them laugh, or it brightened their day a little, or whatever… It’s terribly fulfilling.
My mum loved the severed wampa arm cake. I would have done exactly the same thing. 😛 I dissected a fish today, and this is a picture of it by the time I’d finished. My thoughts during the process were disturbingly Gollum-like. “Aren’t we a nice little fishiessssss. Looks! there’sss your liversessssss!” 😀
I don’t actually know how to post a picture, so let me keep trying! 😉
I’ve tagged you.
ROCK AND POOL, IT’S NICE AND COOL, SO JUICY SWEEEEEEET….
That is so stuck in my head now… XD “Look at the fishiesss! Nice fishiesss. Smeagol eats the tasssty little fisshieess…”
Isn’t it scary how sometimes in real life, you’ll start mentally referring to yourself in the third person? I’ll accidentally make a mistake, and find myself…[Read more]
I know! 😀 I haven’t even watched the movie, just read The Hobbit, and starting LOTR soon. But a friend of mine and I often swap Gollum and Bilbo’s riddles…
Well sheesh. The first part of my comment probably just went completely over your head then.
Oh, no, don’t worry, I got it. 😛
When you’re a part of a community like this, you can’t stay in LOTR ignorance for very long!
