NC Stokes

@gabbyJ I like this character. Anyway, to build on what everyone else said, if she is optimistic because she doesn’t know how bad things can be, then she’ll grow out of that. But, if she’s naturally a hopeful, cheery person, she might use humor and optimism to keep herself and everyone else encouraged, even when things are hard.

@graciegirl Fantasy and sci-fi are awesome genres. (I’m a little biased bc that’s what I like to write. 😛 )Steampunk, you say?? *huge grin* I love steampunk!  (again, biased… but steampunk is still cool)

Thank you, I like my profile pic, too. ;)<i> </i>I love Star Trek!

@dekreel That’s so sad! I’ll be praying.

@graciegirl *bows and flourishes cape* I don’t know if we’ve ever formally met. Although you were around when I was *cough*stalkingtheforums*cough* Who? Me? Stalking? I would never. *severe glare* 😛

I’m glad you’re back! I’m NC, of the undetermined personality type. (The ongoing question of whether I’m an INFP of an INFJ…) Your profile pic is…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong Sounds like you’ve got a why-didn’t-they-use-the-eagles-to-get-to-Mount-Doom conundrum here. 😉

Maybe try dialing down the power of the dragons. If they’re powerful enough to stop all of the catastrophes, they might be too powerful. What would happen of you made them smaller? Weaker? What if they needed something to get their…[Read more]

@dekreel *thunderous applause* This is splendid!

@itisastarrynight Fantasy! That’s my favorite genre to write. The NC stands for my first and middle name. Although it is possible that it stands for Nice Cat. 😀 I’m not a cat, but if I was, I’d be nice. xD I like your username, by the way.

@itisastarrynight Also, I don’t think we’ve met. 🙂 *sticks out hand* I’m NC. What genre do you like to write?

@itisastarrynight *claps and jumps up and down* Yes please! Thank you. 😀

@mariposa *lowers voice* *puts on spy sunglasses to feel sneakier* Ah, I see. When we make them, we usually don’t eat them either.

@mariposa

*fumbles for words*

You know what, never mind. I’m not going to even try to explain how awesome it is. It’s too beautiful. 😀 Was it as tasty as it looks?

Oo, let me think about this. *thinks* *swirling “loading” symbol pops up on screen* Okay, I got it…

• Get more feedback on my writing.
• Organize. Maybe. It would be nice to be able to find my files once and a while… 😛
• Read the writing books I got for Christmas. (Best. Gifts. EVER.)
• Finish at least the first book in my trilogy. Yes,…

@GabbyJ *puzzled glance at everyone* These people sound experienced. It’s unnerving. Anyway, I (almost) never have to worry about slaying dragons, but my thoughts are:
• If the dragons have a weakness, they’re likely going to know about it. They would probably have a kind of instinct to protect their weakness. (Not flying directly over people w…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 *wide eyes* That sounds epic. St. Louis is too far for me, though, what with my portal machine on the fritz. (anyone know a good portal mechanic?) 😛

@epicaddie2 Hmm. I don’t have anything to add, really. I like this thread a lot though. 🙂

@Emily I am late. 😀 All this advice is super good, and I really don’t have anything to add. I just discovered the three-act plot thingy myself and me likey. 😉 Your book sounds like a lot of fun!

@dekreel Ah, yes. World domination. 😀 *dramatically munches a cookie to dramatic background music, dramatically*
