This. Is. Hilarious. I honestly can’t think of much I would change— the dry, matter-of-fact, world-wise and patiently weary voice of the narrator is perfect for showcasing what kind of world they live in, the wry humor is fantastic, and as an avid student of English history I can totally appreciate everything you said about royalty! 😀

Wow, looks like characterization is stealing the show! 😀

“Two o’clock. Time to sleep.”
“I agree.”
“Goodnight.”
Three scaly dragon lay down on the paved floor and started to snore. All of a suddenly a screech filled the air. The three dragons leaped a mile into the air and crashed into the ceiling of their basement. They banged back onto the ground and looked around dazed.
“What was that?”

I was wondering where you were @daeus. That’s okay. I’ll see you Monday then. 🙂

@bluejay, @hannah-c, @kate-flournoy Sorry I missed it tonight. I’m going to be busy for the next two days, but should be back on Monday.

Yes that’s it. Well, I got 752 words. How’d you go?

@hannah-c What do you dial when you want the fire brigade?

Yippee! I’ll be going to 9. @hannah-c

I’m starting ten minute early so tag me if you can join me now. 🙂 @daeus @kate-flournoy @hannah-c

@reaganramm Ooo, that’s so hard! I would probably choose a course on characterization, plotting, world-building, or showing vs. telling.

@reaganramm I could benefit from a class teaching methods and ideas of ways to stay motivated in my writing and editing.

@the-happy-bookaholic Yes, we have many political parties and you can vote for any of them. It’s just that only the democrats or republicans ever win (except maybe in a few very small government positions). You can also vote for whoever you want. Santa Clause gets a couple votes every year. It would be a huge constitutional crisis if he ever won. 😉

Urgh… yikes, that’s a difficult question. Probably characterization— I don’t struggle with that, but it’s one of those things I feel like I can never study enough of or understand as fully as I should. There’s just so much to learn!
Um… other than that… let’s see… novel structure? Character arcs? (Or would that be in with…[Read more]

Oh boy, I struggle with a lot of little things. Like, writing fluid prose, mastering emotion, getting the sense of timing just right, not being too choppy, picking the right tense, etc.

597. @daeus Not bad, but not great. Feeling pretty down *sick* today, so my brain and fingers where much slower than normal.
