Any book recommendations? I’m looking for fantasy or historical fiction (or even historical nonfiction) with political intrigue, or just intrigue in general. Or maybe just some clean reads……[Read more]

@dragon-snapper firstly… ice cream.
*piles up barrels and barrels of ice cream in an old DRAGON*
*Flies with Stan to the top of a mystic mountain*
*Flies into the secret base, where all the rebels and heroes are having a party*
*hands out the ice cream*
Secondly… Ugh. I hate feeling disconnected from my book. Because its like… I’m not…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 XD Nice topic. It’s rather fitting for writers, since… ahem… people often tell writers strange things.
XD @kate-flournoy @dragon-snapper I know what you mean. Trying to tell people is like… hard.
The solution I came up with is to have a really simplified and parody-like synopsis all ready, which really isn’t very accurate but…[Read more]

Well, um… You know, I think I’ve just decided King @daeus isn’t so bad after all. Just forget about The whole rebellion thing. It seems some people don’t approve. *glares at @dragon-snapper and @sam-kowal *

I have an announcement: The KPA is finally underway! I hope…

(don’t judge — I have no idea what movie/show this gif is from…)
I had to rewrite it completely, but I think it will turn out well! I FINALLYFINALLYFINALLY have the plot figured out!!
Unfortunately, since I rewrote it, Number One: The prologue is a dud, and Number Two: I have…[Read more]

introvert_girl replied to the topic Any Manga Style Artists Out There? in the forum Art 8 years, 3 months ago
@dragon-snapper *whispers* I’m just stalking as well, haha.
I really like to draw but it’s more cartoon than manga. @allyouartists your art is so cool! -

@dragon-snapper
I agree a break may be in order, and I think @daeus 2nd point is really important. God may be calling you to focus on something else right now, and so I’d encourage you to be sensitive to that. 🙂
But if it’s just a case of creative fatigue, my advice is to:
1. Read/watch/listen to the things that inspire you. (Maybe even things…[Read more] -
Daeus replied to the topic Fighting The Block in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 3 months ago
@dragon-snapper There are lots of good takes on this here. I agree with them. I’ll just post two other ideas.
1. Take a break, but not from your book. Take a break just to dream about your book. Imagine yourself in scenes. Dream about backstory you’ve never thought of. Just dream.
2. I think writing isn’t always so much about our books as it is…[Read more]

@mariposa @dragon-snapper @dekreel *laughing hysterically in the background*
*ahem*
Ten days after I turned 8, got my lips stuck in a gate, and my friends all laughed. And then I just stood there until the fire department came and broke the lock with a crowbar and I had to spend the next six weeks in a lip rehab with this kid named Oscar who got…[Read more]

Heeeeeeey guys, I’m finally back! I know it’s been longer than a week. Oops. 😉 But life has been crazy and I just haven’t had much time on my hands.
Now, for the prayer request.
Bear with me as I ramble on.
Recently in our church there have been lots of miracles and stuff. A few weeks ago my parents and their friends went to go pray for a g…[Read more]

Audrey Caylin replied to the topic Fighting The Block in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 3 months ago
@dragon-snapper I think I recognize the symptoms of a tired creative 😉 Meaning, your mind is doesn’t have the energy for writing, which makes cranking out the words and getting connected to the story REALLY hard.
So…I’d say step away for a little bit if you can. Go do something else creative that you love, like music or drawing. Or just sit…[Read more]

@rochellaine OH, SPANISH MOSS!!! Yes, that is gorgeously mysterious!
@princessfoo Heheh, that’s funny. I can totally imagine that happening to me.
@mariposa Yeah I think I’ve gotten the “How you gonna pay the bills?” question at least once.
Funny the mistakes we make in writing…..Thank goodness for editing………i guess. 🤔

Jenna Terese replied to the topic Fighting The Block in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 3 months ago
@dragon-snapper I feel your pain! Maybe you just need to step away from the novel for a few days and literally not think about it ONE BIT. Then you might feel more refreshed coming back to it. What seems to snap me out of writer’s block pretty consistently is listening to music for the scene I’m stuck on. that really gets me in the mood. Maybe…[Read more]

Joy started the topic "The Canterbury Tales…" and Other Stuff by Chaucer in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 3 months ago
Seriously?! Chaucer is among the most beloved and most fascinating writers of all time, and no one has made a topic about him?!
So far, I have only read the Knight’s Tale (a story from The Canterbury Tales) for school, but I have to admit, it is an amazing poem. It’s so full of depth and truth for the Middle Ages. It’s one of the best things I…[Read more]

Random social stranger at a random social function: “Oh, you write books? Cool! What’s your book about?”
Me, randomly trying to function socially: *stilted grin and shivering, nervous laugh* “Here, let me… let me…” *digs out notebook with a triumphant flourish* “I wrote it down!”
