I wanted to say something…but I’ve been feeling like this too. I’ve been reading books like Half Upon a Time, The Ilyon Chronicles, and @hope-ann’s books. And the sheer incredibleness of their writing makes me almost jealous. I’ve wanted to write a fairytale retelling for years now, but I can never figure out how to write an original one. And…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong…you better not have been talking about rebels!!!!! if so…i will find you, and i will force you to build a time machine that will take you back in time and never write that so that I didn’t have to keep a spoiler from my sisters tonight

@dragon-snapper Yes, it is indeed. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. (Also it’s a really good thing that Aislinn is me because if she wasn’t she would mutiny.) (I still can’t figure out whether to refer to her in first- or third-person.)

Thank you. I must read it. SOON.

@ariella-newheart *nondescript mynock noise*

@notawriter YES PLEASE! Anyone who wants to draw Amber can do it! It’ll sure help my brain.

Thanks, @daeus!

You know what? Funny thing happened today. I was actually thinking about trying to write this part, when lo and behold, the book my mom was reading to us (Prince Warriors) (awesome) had a scene where the kids were taught how to use their swords! So I have a rough idea of what the scene should look like.

You know you’re a writer when your Pinterest account is 2% normal stuff like recipes and hairstyles, 15% funny things, LOTR, and Star Wars, and 83% You Know You’re a Writer When memes, cool names, inspiration pictures of your MCs, swordfighting tips, and lists of underused fantasy animals.

oops, meant to tag you too @rochellaine

@seekjustice so sorry! I won’t be on tonight after all….:( will you be on tomorrow or the weekend?

Signing out now.  But if anyone asks I might come back…

@jenwriter17 You back yet?

@seekjustice Okay, bye!  See you later!

@seekjustice I got the idea when I watched a movie, and there was this girl I loved, who I thought was a main character, but then she ended up in despair and crying in her last scene, and the end of the movie – probably ten minutes – was without her completely!  I got so mad and decided I could do a better than those horrible mean unfeeling…[Read more]

It’s always helpful to be alive

Wow.

Okay, I’m working on a short story set in the 50s.  I’ve had it going for a while, but a few weeks ago I lost about a thousand words and got discouraged.  I was listening to some 50s music on Saturday and was reminded of it, so I decided to try again.  So far it’s going pretty well… 🙂

@seekjustice When I’d missed you for several days I checked your profile, which said you’d been signed in recently, so then I knew you weren’t dead… 😀

But you still hadn’t posted in a week, which was why I messaged you.  Glad you’re back!

I’ll be here for a little while – not sure quite how long – and I’ll probably be around again in about…[Read more]

@seekjustice argh, I wanna join you! But I can’t, I…..

……oh, wait…….

will you be on still in like half an hour??? if so, I’ll be on writing then.

Oh @seekjustice *squeals* you’re back!  I missed you!

But wait…you posted nearly an hour ago.  Are you still here?

signing off….

Writing children’s books is definitely a long stretch from writing movies.

(somebody tagged me? squeee)

I have experience writing plays, but I’ve never actually seen my plays performed. 🙁

Writing scripts is honestly pretty similar to writing a novel, except with more dialogue/action stuff.

The only advice that I can give is watch a lot of…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I…don’t like Han or dislike him in particular.

And I’ve seen a lot of posts for evidence for Kylo Ren and Rey, and it all makes sense.

My friends, just wait and see. *taps nose knowingly*

If not, then i stand corrected.

I’m now reading In His Steps, by Charles M. Sheldon, for school.
