@allison-grace Probably coffee… Actually, I don’t know. Hot chocolate! XD

@dekreel Probably rock.

@dekreel @catwing I feel like I should know it!! XD

@emily Ah, yes, the middle. *glares at my arch nemesis* 😛

I think you’re going to find your answer by looking at the ending. What’s the plot resolution? What is the character resolution? What does your character learn at the end? Then, you can compare that to what you have at the start, and work backwards until you’re at the beginning. I think…[Read more]

@His-Instrument Got it.

You know what, maybe you could just put two straight and fairly defined black lines down the sides of the one you fixed, about half an inch from the edge.

@Daeus hm… better-ish? I like the first re-do, but it isn’t perfect. What program are you using to put these together? Because putting in white boxes is like… as basic as the abcs…

@shannon Actually, I have not seen any of John Wayne’s movies. I just like the quote. XD

@Daeus whooo, my eyes are crossing. 😛

None of these are particularly amazing in my very humble opinion, though I do think the second has potential. The biggest problem is the composition— there are no lines to define where graphic meets text, or to organize the whole thing for us so our eyes have to do as little bouncing around as…[Read more]

@emily I’m re-outling my nano novel 🙂

Bye! Merry Christmas!

@anyone I’ll be on for about ten more minutes.

@ingridrd silly printer 😛 Bye! Merry Christmas! 😀

@emily Hi!

@dragon-snapper I think taking a break might be a good idea. Whether you want to finish up this draft depends on the kind of person you are. If not finishing it is more discouraging, then definitely finish it. But if you’re going to end up hating the plot and feeling like you’re wasting time by finishing it, I’d take a break.

What Emily said…[Read more]

@emily I’m here! I’ve got some outlining to do 😀 (though I may have to pop away and help my mom bake in a few moments)

I KNEW THIS THREAD HAD TO BE ON HERE SOMEWHERE! AT LAST I HAVE FOUND IT!

I went to see The Last Jedi on Tuesday, and I LOVED it. First of all, it was so visually appealing– the effects were stunning. Second of all, I really want one of those frozen fox critters, as well as one of those space horses that they freed on that one planet (I can’t…[Read more]

Thanks everybody. The overall tone of the story is somewhat dark– think Lord of the Rings— but it’s about finding hope in the midst of darkness and strength in the midst of persecution, so from the beginning I’ve tried to show admirable qualities in the story’s protagonists, in hopes that the depressing circumstances will draw readers to the…[Read more]

@catwing Probably a dog (but for the record, I myself am a cat person 😉 )

@emily Science maybe.

@dekreel I know XD

Don’t rush it! And you could always have a sequel. Or turn it into a serial story…sorry, I’m just spilling more ideas 😛

I’m going to call it a night for writing. Instead of my character giving pushback, I’m running out of energy XD I hope your writing goes well! And if I’m not back on before Christmas, Merry Christmas!

@dekreel for me, it’s writer’s speak for being unable to come up with an answer to any of the questions. For instance, if the question is “What are his (or her) fears?” and I can’t find any, I take that as the character giving “pushback.” Really, it’s because I haven’t delved that deep into the character yet because part of me likes them being all…[Read more]

@dekreel How many chapters do you think you’ll have?

I’m doing a character interview. It’s for my protagonist for my current dystopian novel. So far, I haven’t gotten any pushback from her 😉

@dekreel yeah, I’ll definitely have to try it! 😀

@dekreel nice! Congrats!

That’s really cool! I’m not much of a poet myself (I do a little free verse), but I enjoy reading it.
