@kate-flournoy Woah, that’s overboard, but it does sound very fun.

mmm, yes. I second what Josiah said. The actual synopsis doesn’t catch my attention, but I don’t think you were trying to ask if it grabbed our emotional side so much as if the type of story you were writing sounded interesting. Is that right?

@jess I can totally sympathise. For me, it’s not so much escaping to another world, but I get depressed too and my writing is one of the things that feels concrete, and is always there for me to go to, and won’t change no matter what is happening, and seems to keep getting better even if I do have setbacks in other areas. I can throw myself into…[Read more]

Ah, well. This forum just has a maliciousness against poets.

@kate-flournoy Oooh… that sounds fun indeed. Tell you what, just unleash everything in you. Go crazy. Don’t hold back. Enter euphoria. You’ll get the good stuff down on paper, and all the meaningless stuff I’ll just blast away with my ruthless editing cannon.

@kate-flournoy Oh yeah. Haha. You and procedures. I didn’t think of that. Sounds like a good system though.

In my world, most countries don’t have a strict religious system. I suppose it’s more no religion or humanism stuff in a lot of freer countries, mixed with a good amount of “true believer” people. That being said, there are exceptions I…[Read more]

@bluejay What!?!? You mean houses aren’t for running in? That’s too bad. And I feel fine, by the way.

@kate-flournoy @draggon-snapper I knocked out maybe ten or so editing points I wanted to get done.

Kate, did you get to write the scene you were waiting for?

@kate-flournoy Ok, I’m ready to write now. *Let’s out a yippee and charges into computer*

@emma-flournoy lol, you’re fine! You have a family pass.

And finally, because I want a certain story but can’t find anything like it for the life of me.

Yeeeeess. That’s also a big one.

Ooh, let’s see. I write because…

It’s a challenge that’s always elusive but ever rewarding.
I just love stories. Kinda funny that way.
I would get kicked off KP if I didn’t.
I know that stories are greatly inspiring and this is the is a great way for me to do that for other people.
I know that art is God’s thingy and that I can bring Him glory…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Yeah, it should be fun. I have a suspicion it will become one of my main genres, though I doubt I will cling to it solely. There’s just too many genres to try out there.

By the way, maybe I should ask for general advice on writing fantasy. Since I still have to write my time travel story, it’s not in my mind much nowadays, but I…[Read more]

@clairec I’m not sure exactly what you mean by “alternative history”. If you just mean historical fiction, I think this sounds like a cool book. If you mean you are going to totally mix up major historical events, that’s probably not the best idea.

Oh yeah, and I’ve read the chronicles of Narnia of course too.

Made up creatures aren’t super important to me, though I think they’re cool.

Thanks everybody. These look like good suggestions. And I have already read the Hobbit and LOTR, but I may read them again.

@kate-flournoy I edited the fight between Mathew and Pascal. *Hides face* The old version can be officially forgotten.

@kate-flournoy I’m writing now.

@winter-rose Thanks for writing. I was working on editing some things in a chapter and got through most of it.
