@dragon-snapper What are you working on?

@seekjustice Do you ever write anything besides the Stars Fill Infinity series(I don’t know if you have a series title)?  If you do, you never talk about it, and if you don’t I’m extremely impressed because I can never work on less than three stories at once.  😀

@rochellaine Wow! That is a schedule. 😀 Welcome!

@dragon-snapper @seekjustice I’m here for about half an hour, then I’ll be gone for about half an hour, then I’ll probably be back for a couple of hours.  See how well I know my schedule? 😀

@seekjustice Hi! 😀 Which first draft are you reading through?

@jenwriter17 @rochellaine @dekreel @seekjustice I haven’t been on here in a while… Let’s see what happens. 😀 Anyone writing with a dragon?

You know you’re not a bookworm when you look at your bookshelf, shrug and say “Meh.”

*does not hide in shame*

Ummm. I think @bluejay still owns that position. I guess we’re just all developing major immunities to ice cream and raspberries while she’s gone. 😉 @dekreel

@clairec This was really obscure, but Daeus nominated me the substitute doctor a while back. No one’s gotten sick… so.

And yeah. I miss Tessa too. 😀 (Wherever you are… here’s a smi…[Read more]

You know you’re a Kapeefer when all of a sudden you start loving the name Josiah/Daniel/Anna/Daeus/Reagan/Snapper when you used to think nothing of it

@dekreel Haha!

@daeus  Does a master’s thesis author count??

Umm…… I don’t know anyone personally, but maybe Andrew Peterson

The only one I can think of that’s closer than Peterson is @hope XD

@aislinn-mollisong Joktan is a really cool name!  I’ve never thought of doing that – picking the name first, and then the character.  It sounds like a fun way to mix up the monotony of plotting. 🙂

@introvert_girl oh, just a little novella I wrote over the summer of 2017. It’s not my best work (I might rewrite it) because I was still just beginning to learn about how to write. I’m just self-publishing it with Lulu so family and friends can see it in book form. I do hope to get a blog up before summer though😊

You know you’re a writer when you make up a minor character based on a name you like, then they take over, become a love interest, and you almost want to give them their own book.

You know you’re a writer when this describes your life.

You know you’re a writer when you read this dedication: “To the fictional; you don’t have to do what your…[Read more]

I don’t have any trouble coming up with names at all. Actually, I usually START with a name, and then make up the character from there. Like Joktan.

(Okay, I’m going to say something about Joktan here because I love him to bits.)

Originally, I just really liked the name, and so wanted to have a character with that name in Embers. Then, a line…[Read more]

You. Guys. This is supposed to be INSPIRATION COLLAGES, not DISNEY/VEGGIETALES SONGS!

Ahem. I’m still working on my collages, but I’ll post them as soon as they’re done.

*whispers* I might also make one of Joktan….

@notawriter Stella is adorable! Pets were made to be spoiled 😜

@daeus I actually went to church with an author, and his books are great! Robert Treskillard at kingarthur.com.uk (this is the books’ website. link his author website on this site). Also, maybe Nadine Brandes at nadinebradnes.com. I agree with IntrovertGirl; Morrill, Williamson, and Dittemore at goteenwriters.blogspot.com might want this. Maybe C.…[Read more]

@jane-maree Okay, I’ll keep all this in mind 😉

@daeus  BTW I am sorry if that GIF made you feel uncomfortable in any way. I’ll restrain myself from now on XD

@rochellaine  I know! That was my reaction, too X/

@clairec  @notawriter  @graciegirl  @jenwriter17  @epicaddie2  Thank you all! 😀

Claire — Umm…. I’m going to see how comfortable Daeus is first… X)

@Jenwriter17 as Princess said, some of the elements are fairly generic with the dystopian genre. Evil government and Outcasts are common features, BUT that doesn’t mean you can’t use it. I definitely say you can still do this well if you have your own aspect and take on the situation and use your own style to make the story unique and different.
