All right Elizabeth.

After the Inciting Incident we have our First Plot Point. What happens here is basically that Kara commits to follow through with what the Inciting Incident set in motion, instead of lapsing back into her former apathy.
She decides that change is in order and sets out to figure out what exactly she needs to do.

Hi! @audrey-caylin

I know, right? I hadn’t read anything about the staff yet, so the bio totally caught me off guard.

Thank you. @jane-maree

I’m back. I can do stuff without Kate, right? Even though she’s helping me with my story and teaching me along the way.

Oh my goodness, I just–for a reason I don’t know–read through the KP staff “get to know you” page, and @daeus bio cracked me up. I’m sufficiently amused now.

@jane-maree @audrey-caylin

Seriously, if she pops up anywhere… *looks around for Kate* @jane-maree

*edits this because she said Kate one too many times*

I’m signing off…someone lemme know if @kate-flournoy pops up anywhere…I’ll technically be around until 10:00… @daeus @jane-maree

I’m back, too. My brain sort of…overloaded, so I took an Xbox break, but I’m here now. @daeus @jane-maree @dragon-snapper @anyone else on

Seconded. @kate-flournoy

Uh, no. I’ll ask if anything crosses my mind. @kate-flournoy

@hope Yaya! *dragon dance*
Glad you like it!

And yes, @Kina-Lamb, this—

I think sometimes when I think “introvert,” I think of people that don’t talk except inside their heads and to themselves, and blush whenever you look at them or talk to them because they’re so nervous. But that isn’t the case usually. Am I right introverts?

is correctly supposed to be erroneous. *grins* Introvert…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 yes ma’am. You do. *thumbs up* Good work.
The human intuition is a marvelous thing. 😉 A lot of the learning associated with writing, in my experience, is just learning the names of things your intuition already understands.
I know EXACTLY what you mean with the utensil metaphor— great way to describe it! lol

Signing off as well. I wrote 1767.

How difficult is rewriting? Especially for an 80,000/100,000 word book? What advice do you all have?

Never have I ever even attempted to rewrite anything that long, but here’s my two cents anyway.

Rewriting is exhausting–physically and emotionally. After all, the reason we rewrite is to make our work better, right? It’s…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper if you’re in this much of a quandary, experiment. I’ve only ever done third person and I love it and I don’t think that’ll change, but if you feel like you need to switch, try it for a chapter or two. See if you like it. If it isn’t quality, you’ll only have spent a little time to solve a quandary that could have sabotaged your…[Read more]
