Yah. I totally get what you’re saying. I actually write everything like a movie. Like it shows everything as it is happening and (unfortunately) I barely enter into my viewpoint character’s mind (something I need to work on). However, once I read the book about showing and telling I really wanted to . . . liberate(?) my…[Read more]

@jess– it’s kind of a cross between Beauty and the Beast, the Frog Prince, and my own story. It’s kind of complicated.

I remember with my first story I didn’t chapter it at first either, but you’re still getting used to the ropes and stuff! Have fun!
Speaking of which, I’ve got to go now. Hope you understand the writer’s corner better now! @Julia-r

Ha, I am so bad at tagging, @dragon-snapper, @jess. I can’t really figure out chapters yet, what with this being my very first novel.

I was only 500 words into my book, but made it to 1,305 in a half-hour. I’m kinda figuring out my story as it goes. I had to run some boxes to the basement for my Mom, which took about 7 minutes. 🙂 I’m just establishing my story, too.

@jess @Julia-r
Yay, Character arcs! Thanks for the links!
I wrote 1056 words in that time, and I reached chapter 19. How about you @Julia-r?

Si! Hasta la vista! @jess @Julia-r

Si! Hasta la vista!

@jess, @dragon-snapper, let’s go! Vamanos! (Sorry, old Dora the Explorer taking me over. AAHHH!)

Welcome to the realm of writing, my unicorn friend! @jess Both of you, I’m starting now. @Julia-r

Oh, silly me. It doesn’t have to be for an hour, it can really be for however long you want it. Half an hour sounds coolio with me. Start now? @Julia-r

Oh, silly me. It doesn’t have to be for an hour, it can really be for however long you want it. Half an hour sounds coolio with me. Start now?

Oops, that tag didn’t work. Read my last post, @dragon-snapper

@ dragon-snapper: Sure! Would we be able to cut that to 30 minutes? I think we’ll be having family Bible time in about an hour.

@Julia-r Ah, you found it! Welcome to the writers’ corner, where writers from all over the world find a time when they write at the exact same time to avoid distraction. So, say I asked you to write for an hour, we would write for an hour then meet back here to touch base, see how many words we wrote and compare. It’s more of an accountability…[Read more]

Woah. *holds onto computer desk to keep from fainting* What is going on here? It looks awesome, but, like most people, I don’t have time to read all 54 pages of forum to find out. @dragon-snapper ? @bluejay ? @overcomer ? @clairec ? @daeus ? @jess ?

Thanks, @anne-swiftblade! Where would you most like to travel? Say, if someone gave you a 2-week trip to anywhere you wanted in the world, all expenses paid, where would you go?

I love how Tolkien refers to the reader as if he’s actually telling us a story. I also noted how he names some of his places very obvious names: The Hill, The Water, Misty Mountains…
It made me laugh how Tolkien mentioned that Baggins had his toes ‘neatly brushed’. 😀
@bluejay, you’re fine…in all fairness, I’ve not had time to do that much…[Read more]

If you need more, let me know, I’ve got an entire half of a notebook devoted solely to names and their meanings, and more names (no, I promise you I am not kidding)
