np
but I honestly really liked that chapter the way it is. Like, a LOT. I don’t want you to touch it. If it’s the chapter I’m thinking of (the end one) it was one of my very favorites.
Yes, the end one. This is very interesting to me, cuz I honestly like the last short story the least. Not because of the story itself (the conce…[Read more]

Would it help if I did a test piece and posted it on here so you can kinda see what it’d look like?
If I do that, I’ll probably do it tomorrow
TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE CHALLENGE i ATTEMPTED TODAY
I lost track of my hours, but I did get through most the Baron Chronicles. I didn’t get into the short story…[Read more]

Like, people go on and on about how he was basically “The Perfect Fiction Writer,” do they realize he was just a guy who was SUPER passionate about his story?
I think his passion is what made him the best fantasy author. If Tolkien didn’t love writing, and didn’t love the story, then it wouldn’t have been a classic. It wouldn’t have bee…[Read more]

Yep, basically burnt out. And easily distracted XD. Three more stories. I dragged my feet in the last one.
Honestly, you were one of the main people I had in mind when I decided to go for it. I LOVED your book and it meant so much. People need to be able to read stuff like it, but honestly it’s so hard to get p…

Wait really!!!!!??? You might be going with us?!?!?!
I looked into like twenty different publishers today, some briefly, some a little more in-depth. The only two I liked were yours and one that I can’t even submit my book too so…yeah, I’m probably gonna go with you. To be honest, you weren’t my first choice (just a bookmarked…[Read more]

Also, Wild Horse Publishing, if all my plans go as planned, will have a new costumer in fall hopefully (If I can earn enough money and figure out how to market a book. 😉 )

UPDATE
I have five stories left to edit. It’s going much faster than I thought since apparently Past Me is better at editing than I thought she was, and besides a few little tweaks, I’m mostly just rereading the stories (which is so much fun! Though it feels almost like cheating. I promise I am actually editing places where I see problems!) I…[Read more]

I don’t think I can finish the challenge. We’ll see.

Ruth replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 months, 2 weeks ago
Well, to my joy, I am finding, so far, a LOT less things to edit than I thought I would…
…Though, I’m pretty sure anyone else who reads my work will be wanted to strangle me for grammar mistakes I missed and poor scene execution. I’m just blind to it.

Okay!

Just did the math, and the entire Baron Chronicles (at 1,500 edited words per half hour) would take me 11.7 hours!
Which means I may or may not go over 12 hours tomorrow cuz, for one, I know it’ll probably take me a little longer and two, I have another short story that I’ve had on my mind related to the Baron Chronicles but will not be published…[Read more]

Hey!
So last year I wrote for 12 hours on July 1st, and I kinda want to do it again if I can. It turns out perfect cuz it’s actually supposed to rain where I am tomorrow so I have an excuse to stay indoors.
I am going to add editing and writing this time cuz The Baron Chronicles needs some more editing love (haven’t done much since…[Read more]

I’ve been on KP like a year and a half by now, and I have never seen anyone be that way to another writer here. Most the time, I actually feel like people don’t criticize my writing enough on here. So yeah, maybe people are like that other places, but I’ve never seen it here. Maybe some jokes, but never anything serious.

lol you know me well don’t ya?
i hope so. XD. i try to pay to attention to people’s charries…even when I forget the world lore…
I’m assuming you saw that image in the school roleplay lol.
Yep. Poor Sniper.
Also, thinking of Sniper getting shot, it hit me yesterday but Medic is definitely a parody of how real army medics will do<…[Read more]

Okay. My limit is 4 hours of constant activity before I get tired. Then I need naps and food to get me back to normal again. If I’m not doing too much, I can make it through the day fine, but my stamina is terrible…again.
Otherwise, all’s good.
thx.

UPDATE
Had my blood drawn for the blood tests yesterday. All went well except they couldn’t do one because I’m under 18, which makes no sense. It was only a heavy metals panel (which I wanted done cuz I have had problems with heavy metals before, and are prone to them) but I don’t understand why there was an age limit to it, and there was no…[Read more]

How do you know all that shooting stuff, first of all?
I researched GSW’s a year or two ago for a character. He had been shot in the knee, shattering his patella and making it hard for him to walk without a brace by my lore. I wanted to see if that was really a thing (turns out, a form of torture is actually shooting someone behind the…[Read more]

also, there actually is no need to google “How to hide a body” since all you need to do is look up the stories of serial killers. It’s actually pretty easy to get dangerous info by looking stuff up in less direct ways.

WARNING! Some morbid content
For “where on a person will a bodyshot kill most easily” Often a little research into anatomy of the main blood vessels and into cases of GSW’s helps give you an idea without being put on any lists XD.
also, for two body shots, you’d have to know where exactly those body shots are. Do they puncture maj…[Read more]
