Would you rather listen to hard rock music while writing, or write for five hours in a cinder block room with pale white lights?

@daughteroftheking Beta-red by Darth Vader–because really, how awesome would that be? After I killed off his favorite character, I would get an email from him saying, “You have failed me for the last time.”
@celticcailin Tiny plane. Writing upside down is probably not healthy. Unless I’m doing pull ups.
@perfectfifths Aaii! I would definitely…[Read more]

@perfectfifths I’d rather only be able to eat after I wrote 2 chapters (that actually would be a good incentive to write).

Would you rather write a book you love but everyone else dislikes, or write a book you dislike but everyone else loves?

Bravo, I’ll just test some more then. *mutters to himself*

*ignores*

@delightinlife The first question is easier to answer than the second.

Voice is basically the “tone” you write in. It’s the types of details you include or don’t include, how many of them you include, how much you show or tell, what type of characters you write about, whether you lean towards sarcasm, cuteness, or morbidity, and many other…[Read more]

*looks very strict* This new rule will be enforced by little tiny raspberry soldiers carrying bazookas.

I’m signing off now. I wrote a short poem.

@graciegirl Greetings.

I just heard of a recent tragedy with a family here in Ohio. They’re a Christian family named the Stockdales. I don’t know them, but I’ve met them before. Anyway, one of their sons just killed his youngest brother and mother with a shotgun and then tried to take his own life. He’s in the hospital at the moment.

So, pray for them if you…[Read more]

Okay…Just for fun, could I have some poetry prompts?

@leumeister I might be able to do it, but I’d have to make sure with my parents first.

Great idea, @mariposa !
1. I think I’d rather write it backwards to. That is, if I had a very detailed outline…
2. Push ups. Good work out…paper eating would make me sick, therefore I could not write.
3. Subway. Seems like an inspiring situation, whereas in a rock concert I could not concentrate to write at all. Plus it lasts longer. I’m an…[Read more]

@emily-d Wow, yes Kate’s right, that is an enormous question.

Here are a few other things you could do in addition to Kate’s and Daeus’s awesome advice: Try to get to know your character as much as you know yourself. Write a list of the things they like/dislike (you’ve probably heard this before) that no one will know but you. What’s your cha…[Read more]

@Emily-D Okay, great question, and a very big one.

I’ll try to cover it the best I can. First of all, I cover some techniques for crafting strong characters in my Jumpstart Your Novel, which is free for the time being, so I recommend you go ahead and sign up for that if you haven’t already. Even if you don’t have a lot of time, just go watch the…[Read more]

@winter-rost A name? That…is something I really need to work on. 😉

I had a lot of distractions, but I managed to edit 394 words, so, hey! Better than nothing.

(@winter-rose I’m editing my time travel story, and I don’t listen to music while a write unfortunately.)

@dragon-snapper @winter-rose @that_writer_girl_99 I’m here.
