Hello again! Good to see you back! *follows you to the writer’s corner*

@dekreel, Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, etc. Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women.

And yes, I’m Australian. 🙂

@sam-kowal I like writing fantasty, but mostly write historical fiction. My WIP is set in WWII.

@clairec  Was Frances Hodgson Burnett the one who wrote Little Women? The name sounds familiar…

Are you Australian?

Hi @dekreel! 🙂 *returns handshake* Pleased to meet you.

I’m not much of a TV person, so I’m not sure I really have a favourite movie of TV show, but I love lots of books! I grew up on Enid Blyton, Frances Hodgson Burnett, things like that. I love the Billabong series (which I’m certain you’ve never heard of, as it’s really old, and Australian)…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper  Heheh I’m like that!

@sam-kowal  Gotta write it somewhere XD

You know you’re a writer when you want to write about the back-stories of inanimate objects.

@clairec!!!! Hi!!!! I’m so glad to see you!!!!!

No, we haven’t met yet. I’m Dekreel! Nice to meet you! *tries not to dig claws into your hands as I shake it*

Sometimes I look through the archives and think, “What ever happened to those guys? I really miss them!” Even though I had never met them. So yeah, that’s why I’m so excited to see you  XD…[Read more]

You know you’re a Kapeefer when you go to the library and see a book called Keeper and you think to yourself, “They spelled Kapeefer wrong.”

@the-real-kapeefer (thanks for that. XD) @catwing @perfectfifths @dekreel

@waterlily  Check out these two articles on @jane-maree‘s blog! They are SO helpful!

What is Theme?

Focusing your Theme

Thank you so much for sharing! @livgiordano

The one thing I think of, when it comes to deciding on a theme, is myself.

Sometimes, when I’m writing, I step back and take a look at my characters, only to realize that within them are little pieces of myself–loneliness, creativity, past regrets. This makes the characters more realistic; by drawing on these feelings and memories, I make them…[Read more]

Alright, folks! Friday is here, which means the next newsletter is just around the corner! But don’t worry, you can still get your advice into the newsletter! Just drop your advice here!

@ethryndal @kballen @livgiordano @rochellaine

@livgiordano That sounds like an awesome WIP. Good luck with it!

I like 2 and 4!

@LivGiordano Yeah, I haven’t seen that many TV shows either. 😛 Plenty of period drama miniseries, but not regular TV shows.

Ahh, I think that depends on how far you watch. *wiggles eyebrows* There are lot of great older ones, but the further you get, at a certain point, you get at least two new AWESOME characters, and by default many more…[Read more]

@WarrioroftheRealm They’ve gottcha covered already. 😉

@GracieGirl HEy, that’s really cool! I didn’t know you recorded stuff. Do you record your own books, or just your favorite other books and the like? Sweet.

Heh, me? Not bad, not bad. 😛 Pretty busy (though not as busy as it sounds like you were 😉 ). But good for the most part. Reading a lot too. (I’m pretty sure you knew I’m not actually a…[Read more]

@LivGiordano Welcome, welcome, and thrice welcome!!

Little House on the Prairie‘s good. Most of the time. 😛 Sometimes the stories are really flat. But most of them aren’t. Who’s your favorite character?

And I’m so glad you love classical music. Not enough people do. 😛

@MNValentine

Heh, yeah. 😀
