Cloudy

Okay, I’m resurrecting this topic because I’ve been looking into it for next year. I know there are a few more people on the forum now who are/have taken the OYAN course, so I was wondering what opinions were… My concern is 1. Is it for beginning writers (as in never written a novel before) and not really aimed at people who write regularly?…[Read more]

@cloudy What Kate said. I think that its a great idea!

@Cloudy I love her as a villain! 😀 I can think of several ways I would go about making this a short story or novella, but that would be me writing it, which isn’t quite fair. 😉
I would just say play around with the character motivations and relationships and go from there. Go for it. Never know until you try. 🙂

@Cloudy I really like the intent/picture of the poem. The only thing I would suggest is either make it more obviously a rhyming poem or more obviously free verse, because I was a little confused by the alternating patterns.
Otherwise, I really like it. 🙂

I’m going to be outlining/writing for a while. 🙂

@cloudy Well, I’m not very good with meter either and I hardly remember any of their names. I know iambic meter is the easiest though, so maybe go with that.

I find it hard to be real scientific about meter, so I basically just familiarize myself with examples, try to write rhythmically, and read my poetry to myself several times and tweak it…[Read more]

@cloudy The thing that stood out to me is that I think it would do a lot better with a meter.

Hey, friends, see if you can help me brainstorm for a bit.

So far, about fifty people have taken the reader behavior survey. That’s pretty awesome. Fifty people can show us some neat things about reader behavior, but we’re going to need a lot more need more if we’re hoping for reliable and detailed data.

So maybe my outlook was too limited.…[Read more]

Anyone want to write for about half an hour? 😀
@dragon-snapper @overcomer @winter-rose @cloudy @anyone who is around and wants to join in

KeePers everywhere!

1,000 strong. That’s my goal.

I am thrilled to announce the launch of the new Reader Behavior Survey. If you haven’t already read through this thread, the Reader Behavior Survey is a survey I put together that asks readers detailed questions to probe into how they think and what influences them. “Why?” you ask. Well, these…[Read more]

@cloudy Those sound like some good thematic starting points! And you can certainly write strong themes without making your story explicitly-Christian. Our marketing director wrote a post earlier this year defining the basic principles of theme that you may find helpful on that front: https://kingdompen.org/a-new-focus-for-2017/ I’m right there with…[Read more]

@cloudy Sounds like a fun premise! Have you thought at all about what themes you want to be tackling in the book?

@Cloudy Welcome!! Glad to have you. And nobody’s asked you yet what MBTI type you are. So I ask you, what is your MBTI type? (I’m guessing INTP. If I may make so bold as to guess. 😛 )

@cloudy Welcome! (from a very ‘not active member of the community) I keep telling myself I’m going to find time to get back on here more, and then I forget… But it is a grand place! You’ll enjoy it. 😀

Welcome to the site, @cloudy! What’s the premise of the current story you’re working on?

@cloudy If I had to pick a favorite in the RA, then it either be Siege of Macindaw or the Burning Bridge. And don’t worry, I can’t give you too many spoilers, because I’ve only made it to 10, and I’m only halfway through it. 😀
I love Moonlight Sonata! I’ve tried to play it on guitar, but with all the sharps and flats, it’s very difficult. For…[Read more]

Hey @cloudy, great to have you here! Love your tag, by the way.

@cloudy Cheers! Welcome aboard the bestistest place on the internet.
