Very sound advice, @DaughteroftheKing. 🙂

You said cheesecake on purpose. *scowls*

That aside… EVERYTHING IS AWESOME. You already know what I think of this story so I won’t do a full meltdown here. But guys, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale, and this is just… I love it so much. You should definitely read it.

@Hope

@Ethryndal fellow elf, now you know me. XD

Great points, @Ethryndal.

@DelightinLife everything @Daeus said. 😛

I will add that you probably shouldn’t worry too much about developing your own voice, because it will develop by itself as you grow in confidence and knowledge. Especially if you focus in on the more nitty gritty aspects of writing, like the prose itself— what makes prose delightful and engaging; what…[Read more]

@DelightinLife wow… that is an impossible question. :”D

Top three favorite books… Well, I’m going to go with stories because one’s a trilogy. *winkwink* Les Miserables,…[Read more]

@hope Yes, I agree that they don’t need to be retold all about everything-that is wise. I second your list of what it needs to say. 🙂

Yes, I think that is the main goal: bringing writers in our community to the KP community. Also, to help remind us to actually take initiative to start conversations about writing and tell writers in our circles about KP. And just the physical part of a handout is nice.

Solidifying that really helps with what it will eventually say. I looked at…[Read more]

It appears I was promoted to the post of Question-Asker! Thanks @stewie-plotter for bringing my case before the Overlord. I do try to figure some things out by myself, even though it seems I ask about two questions a week. Now that it is my title, perhaps I’ll roll with it and ask all those necessary questions without worrying that I’m annoying you!

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

@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.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 aha. My mistake. 😉

@Daeus that’s awful. I will definitely be praying.

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]

Round of applause to this hilarious work.

@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]
