Grrrr… Just when I’m making progress, this strange thing I call “real life” barges in on my fantasy world. 😉 Adios, amigos!

@daeus *raises sword* I shall!!! *realizes sword is a pencil* *lowers it sheepishly*

@deaus *raises sword* I shall!!! *realizes sword is a pencil* *lowers it sheepishly*

@kate-flournoy *squeaks excitedly* Bubbles! I was deep without meaning to be. 😉 *strikes dramatic thinking pose* *collapses in laughter*

@cloudy Oh, there’s nothing wrong with us writers. It’s the rest of the world that makes no sense. 😉

@daeus Thank you! *basks in the glow of the compliments for the rest of the day*

@kate-flournoy *flourish-y bow* Thank you, kind dragon.

*reads updates my computer didn’t show me before* Oh, oops… :S Bye @graciegirl!

Anybody on?

@Emily-d Great question! I am no writing expert, but one thing I’ve learned about creating characters is that quirks are your secret weapon. People in real life always have quirks (perhaps not as crazy as the ones in books, but you get my point), so when you give your character a quirk, it makes them feel real to the reader.

Would you rather have your novel beta-read by Darth Vader or replace your main character with a squirrel?

*explosion rocks forum* Sorry guys, that was just an inspiration bomb landing on my head. MUST WRITE.
@graciegirl @dragon-snapper Anybody home?

@graciegirl @dragon-snapper
Signing off. Happy writing folks! *disappears to the magical land from whence she came*

*appears in a puff of smoke* Hi @graciegirl! I’m on. probably not for very long, but I’m here 🙂

Lookout everyone! The torrent of book recommendations are coming!!!!!
-The Dragon Keeper Chronicles. Great Christian fantasy.
-Twice Freed, and The Bronze Bow. It’s been many millennia (actually just a few years) since I read them, but I remember they were great historical fiction.
-The Binding of the Blade. Slightly allegorical Christian…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien *notices the first poem* Why didn’t I see that one yesterday… Weird.
Well, anyway, it’s beautiful! You really have a talent for poetry.

Happy writing!

@winter-rose I’m pretty tired myself (I’ve practically spent the whole day writing. Summer is awesome.), but I’m super exited about a new character I’m developing. I’m really distracted by the heavenly smell of bacon wafting from my kitchen, though! XD
What does YWW stand for?

@winter-rose Thou art welcome 😉 So, how is your writing going?

@winter-rose This probably goes without saying, but I’m on:) However, I smell bacon cooking for dinner, so I may sign off for bacon in a bit.
