@dragon-snapper You on?

*grins*

So, a death scene, hm? Sounds delightful. @bethanysinkyroses

I’m here. @bethanysinkyroses

@kate-Flournoy are you on?

@EpicAddie2 That makes sense; one of the most helpful books I’ve read on that topic is 12 Editors Tackle the 12 Fatal Flaws of Fiction Writing by C.S. Laskin (actually did a review of it here: https://kingdompen.org/kp-book-review-5-editors-tackle-the-12-fatal-flaws-of-fiction-writing-by-c-s-lakin-et-al/) If you get the chance to read it, it should…[Read more]

@SeekJustice The one YA book I’ve read with an older protagonist is Wayne Thomas Batson’s Sword in the Stars. Haven’t seen it done anywhere else, and have likewise read that you shouldn’t have YA protagonists much above college age. That being said, it’s also good for a protagonist to be older than the reader, since apparently younger readers find…[Read more]

(apologies for taking a while to get to this, I got halfway through my reply last night and ten got distracted and forgot about it until this morning. >.<)
@SeekJustice Very good question. (as Elizabeth mentioned) I think that it doesn’t matter the age of your character, what matters most is the realism. I can read books that have 25-year-old male…[Read more]

@christi-eaton Ahhhh! Why did you tell me about that conference?? I looked it up, and now I seriously want to go there! But Idaho… hehe. Probably not going to happen.

@graciegirl You still here?

@northerner Realm-Makers might be in PA next year?? 😮 That would be awesome! I’ve been wanting to attend Realm Makers for a while and will totally attend if it’s in PA.

@graciegirl The Christian Writer’s Guide has an excellent conference guide (I was paging through it while at the Greater Philly Christian Writer’s Conference this past week) if…[Read more]

Welcome to the site, @shannon. Fun to see another OPC person on the site. 😉 Hope you have a great vacation (or break; or whatever else you’re doing this week)!

No comment. @daeus

Welcome to the site, @gh24682468999! Glad you found us. 🙂 Looks like everyone else is already asking the questions I normally ask, so I’ll just sit to the side and avoid overwhelming you with more of them. xD

Hi @epicaddie2. Good pick of hobbies. Welcome to the kingdom!

Welcome to the site, @epicaddie2! Glad you found us. 🙂 Where do you want to grow the most in your writing?

I could see a vengeance plot being really cool with a tree, but that’s kinda morbid.

I am 2/3rds the way through the last book! I will be back!

Good idea. @epicaddie2

Well, here’s a thought. Some trees are more than 100 years old. That means they’ve “seen” a lot of stuff–a lot of historical events, a lot of people, a lot of change. Anyone (or anything) who’s seen stuff like that deserves to have their story told.

@epicaddie2

Anyone out there? I may or may not be editing until 8:30.

@graciegirl @jane-maree @epicaddie2 @shannon @dragon-snapper

Alright. 🙂 @kate-flournoy
