@dragon-snapper I grin to myself for the next half of a day, generally. And bounce up and down when I am on my own. To the others I may mention I got a grand idea which is going to be really cool, but since they don’t know the background of my stories, an explanation generally falls flat, if I try at all.

@Kate-Flournoy I don’t freak out anymore. That was just the first time.

And yes to scaring yourself at night… Like going downstairs in the dark and then thinking about a hand reaching out of the shadows… *shudders*

@kate-flournoy I finished my chapter. About 1000 words or so written. I have to go start supper now.

@overcomer @daeus @kate-flournoy @aella @jess @dragon-snapper @the-bean @anyone I’m going to be writing for the next hour if anyone else is on.

@Ethryndal I don’t generally do that, but sometimes I’ll take what is happening and use it to make a scene more realistic. Like once I was in charge of the house while Mom and Dad were gone overnight, and all the creaking through the night freaked me out, then I used the emotions from that ‘scene’ in a similar scene in a book where a princess is…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper No, but I’ll be formatting an ebook for another half-hour or so.

@Warrioroftherealm I’ve written one set of lyrics before. As far as the actually poetic style, lyrics aren’t really very different from most other forms of poetry. I don’t believe lyrics need to have meter, but I may be wrong. It’s also not necessary to have the exact same number of syllables in every line, but the difference shouldn’t be more…[Read more]

You know you are a writer when your brother comes into your room, blood dripping from his finger, and asks if you want blood for pictures…

@winter-rose I finished my chapter…around 1000 to 2000 words. Somewhere in there. 😉 I’m done for the night now.

@winter-rose I’ll be writing on and off for the next few hours too. 😉

I’m over half done with the nano word count! 29,621 words!

Well, lord of the flies is a good example of a story about kids.

I was about to say I’ve never written a kid, but I guess I’ve actually written two. Their POV wasn’t very strong in those scenes though.

If I were to do a deep POV child character, however, I would start by looking back at how I thought when I was younger. If you don’t remember…[Read more]

I am a Conservative Republican/Independent. By which I mean that I generally vote Republican though I may not always agree with them and they seem to be getting more liberal by the year.

As for the elections this year…I don’t think it’s one I’ll ever forget. First Cruz and Trump, then Trump and Hillary, then election day itself and everything…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Yep. That Mr. Awesome. I don’t really know him very well, but I’ve been on one of his tours.

@ethryndal *gasps* I’m known as ‘that’ person now? But I…well, I guess, that is somewhat true. A sword, a bow, several daggers… What is it with my obsession with weapons and cloaks?

NaNo is hard, but not that hard. It’s more just keeping going for a whole month. 😉

Welcome, @ethryndal! And no, I’m not late. I arrive precisely when I mean to…or whenever I get on her and realize I’ve not been answering or greeting people like I ought to be. 😉 I love Tolkien too.

I’m doing NaNo this year for the first time. And as for other things I like…dress up. Reading. Music videos…

Love it, @anne-of-Lothlorien

Hey everybody,

I know some folks that run this awesome Christian history tour business. It’s a company called Landmark Events.

Anyways, the two guys that run it just got fined by the state/national/whatever it was park because they were teaching Christian history on public grounds. Of course, it was totally in their right to do so and this is a…[Read more]

What? That’s crazy, Kate. Can’t believe it.

@kate-flournoy I guess that’s true. The Hans scene still works though, because the whole thing was how much compassion Ben felt for him, but he still killed him anyways. I guess that’s how I should have phrased my point. Make the villains feel their consciences very strongly and then go out and deny them.

@anne-of-lothlorien Second person is…[Read more]
