You know you’re a writer when you could easily win a game show where all the questions are morbid/obscure/weird.

How much would your spleen go for on the black market?

Me: *raises hand*

How do you escape a straight jacket?

Me: *raises hand*

Name a 19th century belief about mermaids.

Me: *raises hand*

If you were being attacked by…[Read more]

@ingridrd The suspense! I’m so excited to read about this Jaclyn I’ve heard so much about. I really enjoyed it and would gladly keep reading. One thing, if you could add a little more about what she is feeling during the chapter, that’d be great. I can already get a good feel for the overall mood, which is excellent, (something I’m having trouble…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira *lights confetti canon* *confetti canon explodes and rains confetti on one and all* Splendid poems!
Overlordish meow… hehehe…

@annaberens *sweeps into room* Many welcomes!!! All your WIPs sound really cool, especially the Beauty and the Beast retelling. I love the names you came up with!!!! They definitely sound like books I would pick up at the library because I’m intrigued by the title. Do you have a favorite kind of music?
@princessfoo *hits repeat on Evermore* *dabs…[Read more]

@celticcailin Sorry I didn’t respond sooner. I don’t feel comfortable sharing my email (it has my real name in it), but if there’s any other way I can help, please let me know!

@gh24682468999 Yes, I’ve partially writerified my family. *rubs hands together*

Yay for describing everyday life! I love doing that.

@filewriterbase13x Hooray!! I love KP lit!! *streamers rain down on the whole thread* I don’t feel strongly about being a character, but if you need a tiger in it, Reggie volunteers! He’s my guard tiger that protects me from the various hazards of being a writer. He’s a little odd, very involuntary and concise. (that’s how he describes himself,…[Read more]

@celticcailin Hi there! I don’t think we’ve met. *shakes your hand heartily* I don’t write songs, but I do get very into critiquing the ones I listen to. 😛 So, if you want a full rant about what I’ve noticed, I’d be happy to oblige! But I need to go right now, talk to you later!

@juliawrites4christ Thank you! I love creating characters too. It’s fun when they take on a life of their own, even if they get stubborn and decide to change the plot. 😛

@seekjustice Thank you for checking in, my foot is behaving itself! *stern look at foot* I don’t know when I’ll have to have not-quite-surgery on it, but hopefully not for a while, years possibly. It’s up to factors out of my control, but fortunately God is in control. The other foot is almost completely healed now, and I’m back to running around…[Read more]

@juliawrites4christ Welcome!! *bows and sweeps cape dramatically* I love historical fiction. What’s your favorite part of writing?

@valtmy If you click on someone’s name, and it takes you to the page with their posts and stuff, there is an option for “Public Message,” which lets you send them a message apart from the forum threads. However, other people can see the message if they look at site wide activity page (which I found once, but never found my way back to. Hm.), or if…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you have this conversation:

Me to MC: Alright, I know it’s a tall order, but you’re going to have to defeat a witch, reunite a kingdom, save multiple lives, and have a character arc somewhere in there too. And speaking of character arcs, there are like four more minor arcs to add to the mix. No problem, just a little…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you not only yell out clichés when you see them in movies, you’ve got your family doing it too.

Sibling: There’s the strong female character!

Me: *bursts with pride* And a mentor character. He’s so gonna die.

@dekreel You included Reggie!!! Thank you! He’s so excited.

Yes, I know you’re happy, Reg, but please get off my desk! *Reggie continues tap dancing on my desk*

@dekreel Happy Easter! Praise to the Lord who conquered death!

Thank you soooo much for writing this story! Your writing is incredibly fun and you write emotion very well. Love ya, Dekreel!

*throws confetti and disappears in a puff of smoke*

@epicaddie2 Hey! Long time, no see! Or rather, no read. 😛 I will not be doing Camp NaNoWriMo this year, sadly. I really want to, I’ve never done the camp! But, school, and other predictable stuff like that. :/

*waves pompoms and throws yummy food items* Go forth and conquer, other NaNoWriMo peoples!!!!! You can do this!!!

@nicholerivers03 Wow! *double thumbs up* I love his boots!

@rochallaine Ah yes! The flying fish! I know that episode. *nods vigorously*

Get into a debate over whether Kirk or Picard is better… great right of initiation for Trekkies. ;P
