Okay, unless anybody think’s it’s a terrible idea, I’m planning to use this for a writing school I’m launching this coming year.
My general impression of Pinterest leads me to think that quotes are good to post there, so I thought I’d do some short writing tip graphics. To make it easy on…[Read more]

@his-instrument Another option is to add in an extra prologue or chapter in the beginning that has a very different tone just to give the reader something positive to latch onto.

@dekreel One thing I noticed is that most of your sentences are very similar in length. It would help to vary that up a bit. Have some run-on sentences and some normal and some very short.

@audrey-caylin Yeah, that makes sense! Huh, it’s kinda like a chain reaction: you don’t know about the character, and he won’t talk. XD
I know! Everyone keeps saying they can’t wait! I’m writing it as fast as my brain will let me! But unfortunately it’s turning out long! *sighhhhh*Â Hmmm, I should stick this in the KPA somewhere…Â Ugh! I ca…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin Good! No pushbacks is most appreciated for a writer. 🙂 What exactly is a pushback from your character like? I don’t think I’ve experienced it…
I don’t know… At least ten. It’s kind of long. I hope I’m not overdoing it. Everything I write ends up long, actually.

@audrey-caylin Yeah, it’s easy 🙂
I’m working on the KPA again, rewriting part of chapter 3… What are you doing, btw?

@audrey-caylin Haikus are the easiest thing to write ever! They don’t have to rhyme, but the syllables have to be in a specific pattern. It’s easier than it sounds, and it’s SO fun! You should try it 🙂

@audrey-caylin It’s going okay! I’m on chapter 4. Progress at last!
Actually right now I’m writing haikus. I’m thinking of maybe publishing a collection of haikus on KP if I’m allowed

I have decided that my Dr Who novella would probably be a lot better in first-person POV, so I have decided to basically rewrite the whole thing. Except I have never written anything in first person before (other th…[Read more]

*waves hand around* Yes, yes…I know I said I’d see you all next year, but this is a question that couldn’t wait any longer.
Currently, I’m trying to write a novel. Too many novels actually, which is where this problem came up. You see, I finished Sector One, so I’m trying to write the sequel to it. But I’m 71,000 words in with 30,000 more to…[Read more]

@his-instrument I love the plot line.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to read the first chapters, but just some thoughts. I think you can set a tone in these first chapters that lets your reader know you’re not out to scare them. If you don’t get too graphic with the murder and torture scene and you give the reader one or two, morally good, hopeful…[Read more]
