@shannon Truth is never boring, but variety is the spice of life.

The articles on KP are about that length just for comparison.

@revayah1 Welcome!

*gasp* You’re writing a vengeance book? Those are the best ever.

@dragon-snapper I can see that a bit, but it didn’t really pop out at me. I think overall you have a pretty consistent writing style. I believe that if you work on just generally improving your style and edit your book a few times, the problem will disappear.

@that_writer_girl_99 @shannon Actually, I just came up with a story idea I’m pretty excited about. It just remains to be seen whether all the plot threads will tie together, but I’m pretty sure they will.

If you come up with any great dilemma ideas though, make sure to post them here. They could be great story inspiration for anyone else…[Read more]

@shannon @epicaddie2 @ethryndal @jess @graciegirl @dragon-snapper @catwing @daughteroftheking @that_writer_girl_99 @christi-eaton

Any other ideas? I’m not coming up with anything that’s clicking.

@ryanna Show don’t tell is important, as always. Like, you don’t want to say, “Things were looking very bad for my plan.” Instead, you might focus on the downcast faces of the fellow conspirators. Or, you could do something subtle like this with the internal monologue: “I could be very optimistic at times, but surely this plan had to work. Not…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking Well, that’s weird, but it’s also cool.

Could you write a scene from these killer plants’ POV?
Could some small animal be left in a room of plants and then when we come back to the room the animal is dead with signs of violence?
Could you describe a setting from the omniscient POV where there are these killer plants around and…[Read more]

@joy I like it. Actually, to some degree that happened. Not white servitude, but the south felt mistreated after the war and there was a good deal of unrest during reconstruction. It could be good stuff to get ideas for your novel from.

Anyway, I would totally be for keeping this story in the real world. However, since you don’t want history…[Read more]

Probably people getting stabbed where there is no visible weapon. A cleared around the invisible soldier. People could hear the invisible guy.

@dragon-watcher With what?

Hi, @dragon-watcher. Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

By the way, your name sounds a lot like another girl’s on here: @dragon-snapper. I think she’s 14 too.

Why don’t you tell us what you’re writing now?

@kate-flournoy You can have it actually. Not wanting to be a hero is something I’d have a hard time fully understanding. It would be tough for me to write.

@kate-flournouy You can have it actually. Not wanting to be a hero is something I’d have a hard time fully understanding. It would be tough for me to write.

@kate-flournoy Hmm. I’ll think more about that last one. I like all of them, but that one seems like it might fit well with a short story.

@salome01w4g Yeah, EB is similar to TCOMC in a lot of ways, though the overall story is definitely different.

@salome01w4g Yes, it breaks every rule I teach. 😛 Thankfully, my novel Edwin Brook is a lot better. I’m still learning to master the things I teach though. Mastery doesn’t come easy.

I’m actually planning a short story to replace Treachery right now. I figured Treachery would take too long to fix and I needed something else to offer as a free…[Read more]

If I do write one (which I may not), the plan is to make it about Destin going on a quest to find Sir Aldren.

@salome01w4g Ah, a sequel. You know, I may someday actually write one. The thing is, I’d first have to do a major rehaul of TATHOF. I like the story, but I just read two chapters of it, and my writing style is way under my current standard.
