@bluejay *waves farewell back* See ya around.

@bluejay, well you’re probably done by now, but I’m gonna do some beta reading till nine anyways.

@mark-kamibaya

I’ve only really studied K.M’s system actually. I like it because it’s fairly simple (once you get to understand it), the plot points make it easy to lay out the pacing for a novel, it is easily tweaked to fit any of the three character arcs, it corresponds directly to the character arc itself, and I’ve been able to observe it in…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien I do like it, though I think it could use some polishing. For one thing, some of the lines sound too every-day-speechy (e.g. “they don’t fear me”). One of the most important things in poetry is to say things in a way people don’t expect, especially by using metaphors.

One thing that really stuck out to me is that I’d like the…[Read more]

@bluejay Oh, it sounded like you had chosen beauty and the beast. Are there going to be others too? Unfortunately, I can’t be much help even though I do really like chocolate. I’m simply not much of a fairy tale person.

Hi @anne-of-lothlorien,

Welcome to the most dangerous society yet. Can you tell us about your WIP?

Btw, I like Indiana too. It’s pretty similar to Ohio.

Hi @gideon-sowdon,

I guess I’m late, but I’m glad you’re here.

@sarah-h Oooh, taking the heat is he? I’m glad I wasn’t too rough. I almost wondered if I was.

@hope Yeah, send it to me.

Hi, @Mark-Kamibaya, good to see you.

You’re right that overviews are essential, but I was arguing that they’re way too easy to overuse and that it’s best to always be critical of them.

To clear up what I was saying in my own novel, I was talking about any place in the novel where I overviewed events as if they happened in the past instead of…[Read more]

@hope Hmm, yes I should say it’s hard (knowing a thing or two about that). I think I’m starting to get the hang of it though. Let’s hope. Oh wait, I should say ‘let’s Hope’. Congratulations on your promotion to a verb.

I think I had some occasional problems with rough transitions before, but hopefully not anymore. If you see any though, please…[Read more]

Daeus concurs. Very nice start, but needs a lot of help with rhythm.

Howdy friends. I did some editing on five chapters, which isn’t actually that crazy because I was just correcting some things a beta reader pointed out, but I feel pretty good about it still.

@dragon-snapper What I tend to do with writer’s block is take the block outside with a pocket knife and carve the block into a dragon shape. Try it out.

@overcomer *checks internet space* Whew. Just barely enough. Squeeze on in.

Welcome friends. *hands out ice cream cones*

@kate-flournoy Impressive. Hope you’re running goes well. Stay hydrated.
