The French Revolution and World War One are really interesting periods to read about. As for me, I’m fascinated by Roman Britain, WW1, and the Golden Age of Piracy/Exploration (which reminds me @gracie-j your books sound awesome! My current WIP is based on the lives of William Dampier and Jeanne Baret, have you heard of them?)

And my…[Read more]

Nice idea! I also know a lot about forensic science, though specifically I know about forensic pathology and cadaver dogs and the role they play in (usually) murder cases. How did you get interested in it?

However, my true areas of knowledge are dogs and animal training/behaviour (I have nationally recognised Australian qualifications in…[Read more]

@jjb This is an awesome idea! 😀

I guess I could say I’m knowledgeable about horses/the equestrian world. And also the homeschooling culture??? (not sure if that’s an actual research resource or not…)

@emberlynn It wasn’t even that it was slow (I usually don’t mind slow things) it’s just with WWII and watching children suffering for a couple of hours…I couldn’t really stomach it. But, yeah, I could definitely talk about Studio Ghbili for hours. Have you watched any of Makoto Shinkai’s works?

To stand up for what is right and not let fear control you.

@emberlynn

I also really like K.M. books on writing! Her blog Helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com is also really good and we have pretty much all of her books on writing. What were some of the things you liked about Dreamlander?  I’d love to hear your opinion about it!

Yeah, I almost always have a reference when I draw, but then I usually change it…[Read more]

@valtmy

Things are fine.  A little rushed trying to prepare for the bar exam, but other than that, everything’s good. 😉

How about you?

@seekjustice

You still here?

@valtmy

Hey!

@alia @jenwriter17 @valtmy @rochellaine @Kapeefers!

anyone around? I’m working on some editing for a KP article!

@kathleenramm

Oh, okay then 😀 That definitely makes me feel better. I used to think I was very obsessive but maybe I’m just normal 😛 😛

@gracie-j

Oh, it doesn’t? Well that a shame. I probably learned the most History from American Girl than anywhere else to be honest. Except for maybe Libritey’s Kids.XD

@jbb

Cool! What’s the premise, if you don’t mind me asking?

@kathleenram I am reading my 3rd or 4th draft aloud to myself before handing it over to my beta readers.

@jbb

I agree! Although I don’t outline as much as I used to, it feels almost impossible to start writing a story without some idea of how the story is going to go.

Are you currently outlining your WIP or in the middle of writing or editing it?

@seekjustice

2,000-3,000 words? You don’t worry about me thinking you’re an extreme outliner, because…[Read more]

Fascinating discovery. Now I guess I won’t be ashamed to call myself an amateur anymore 😛

My copy is hardcover. Well, only one side of it still has the cover attached and the spine is long gone but oh well.

@kathleenramm

Definitely an outliner! Though I’m not quite as pedantic about it as others are and my outlines are usually only about 2,000 to 3,000 words long (uh…I think i just exposed myself as an outlining fanatic) and I do go off outline quite regularly. I find when I pants, as I’ve done occasionally, I lose motivation quickly and I don’t…[Read more]

I used to be a pantser and the thought of an outline would make me shudder. Now……..I find myself unable to start a project without at least a rough outline.
