@kate-flournoy Cool. I’m on.

@kate-flournoy. Ha! That so terribly desperate. 😉
Your goal vaguely suggested that any marriage would end your writing career … as sad thought. Made me bite my nails. Now the fact is, I do that anyways … but still.

@Daeus what don’t I mean?
And honestly I don’t know. I’m so desperate I’m going to try outlining to see if it’ll speed up the process. 😛
I tend to set myself impossible goals, in case you hadn’t noticed. *hysterical laughter* -
Daeus replied to the topic Word Lists in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
@bluejay That sounds neat, but like Kate, I’m trying not to take on too much extra writing.
Speaking of which, just how do you plan to write 4-5 books a year, @kate-flournoy? That and, oh dear … you don’t mean … oh dear.

Sounds like an awesome idea. Not sure I’ll have a heap of time, but hey, who knows. Count me in.
@daeus -
Daeus replied to the topic Characterization study in the forum Characters 10 years, 2 months ago
@kate-flournoy It certainly could be, though I think you would need more descriptions. (i.e. Makes quick tugs at sleeve that create snapping noise + has confident look)

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Characterization study in the forum Characters 10 years, 2 months ago
@Daeus hm, okay… ‘is cheerful, tugs on sleeve-cuffs; fascinating’?
-
Daeus replied to the topic Characterization study in the forum Characters 10 years, 2 months ago
@kate-flournoy Yes, only I’m not sure I would find that fascinating. Maybe if there were a supporting quality with it *question mark?* You got the idea, though.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Characterization study in the forum Characters 10 years, 2 months ago
@Daeus ah… I get it. Wow, this is going to be so fun. I don’t know how steadily I’ll be able to do this, but I’ll definitely jot down anything I can.
Just to make sure I actually do get it, say someone walks in the door. I notice that they’re always tugging on their sleeve-cuffs, so I jot down ‘Tugs on sleeve-cuffs; fascinating’? Is that it?

@kate-flournoy Well, first, you are only looking for traits that are fascinating, attractive, or charismatic. This could be an action, expression, trait, etc. You only need to catalogue whatever it is though. Nothing else is important about that person. The exception is if the quality that makes them fascinating, attractive, or charismatic…[Read more]

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Word Lists in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
Hm… this does sound like an interesting challenge. But unfortunately I probably wouldn’t be able to do it— I write only in the evenings and all day Saturday, and I have an eleven book series and a steampunk/scifi and several other novels to write before I’m twenty… 😛 Actually the goal is write before I’m married, which to the best of my…[Read more]

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Characterization study in the forum Characters 10 years, 2 months ago
Wow, this sounds fun! I do this mentally anyway, but I’m sure I could find a notebook somewhere… and since our cabin business brings different people to our door every day, I’m all set! 😀 I don’t know how often I’ll remember to make physical note of it, but I’ll try.
Just to be clear, we can take any personality/personality trait we find and…[Read more]

Hey folks, I got this idea. Don’t know where it came from, but I think it’s gonna be pretty cool. My idea was to carry a little notebook and pencil around with me and to take notes whenever any characteristic about somebody struck me as fascinating, attractive, or charismatic. The reason for this should be pretty obvious. These are characteristics…[Read more]

I have an idea and as it is for you guys, I thought I’d found out if anyone is for it before I start. My sister does this spelling book, were she has a list of twenty words. As one of her projects she has to write something (generally a paragraph or two) using as many words as possible. The words are pretty random and sometimes impossible to work…[Read more]
