@Rjk YES I LOVE TO MASH GENRES. XD (also I’m Australian, hence I sometimes take a while to reply to things because timezones. >.<) Mashing genres is soooo much fun.

Ha, ask away! @rjk Love talking MBTI or books or story ideas or whatever.

Hm, I don’t think I’ve ever read that book…

Yes! @rjk INFPs for the win! I can relate to what you said– I’m an INFP or an INTP, depending on the day…

*grins* I LOVE love love Dancing on the Head of a Pen. It’s one of my favorite books. Ever.

@graciegirl I think a mixture of conscious and unconscious EiLs is fine because that’s the way people act in real life. Some people know exactly why they do something, and other people don’t. Given that, it’s actually probably preferable that you mix it up some, since that will give you more to work with as you continue to use these EiLs later on…[Read more]

She’s two steps ahead of you, @aratrea!

Hello @rjk !! Very nice to meet ya. I’m Elizabeth, and I don’t know what I contribute to the forum except for talking a lot and occasionally turning into a dragon… (that’s a joke you’ll understand later) but I’m here, a lot, and always willing to talk if you need a writing buddy or moral support. *grins*…[Read more]

Hey @Rjk! Glad you found us. I see you’ve preemptively shot down my normal first questions on what WIP/genre you write in. 😉 What are some of your favorite books?

Hi, @Rjk,

Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet.

Zikers, that’s a lot of ideas! (You aren’t an ENFP, are you?)

Well, I’m excited to see what discussions you bring up. See you around.

@Rjk WELCOME WELCOME. *flips in with a woot* YOU HAVE COME TO THE BESTISTEST PLACE AROUND. *passes you a heaped plate of pizza* I’m Jane, the Pizza Ninja of the forum. If you ever need motivational pizza I shall bestow it upon you. 😀
*fistbumps* I love writing in loooots of different genres too! People like asking my favourite and I’m just “Uhhhh…[Read more]

@DelightinLife I’m not going to look through allll those posts, so hopefully I’m not repeating anything you’ve already been told. XP

Usually when I have a protagonist with no plot, I a) let it stew for a bit if I have time or b) (if I want to do the story now) I take a look at the character and analyze what sort of conflict he’d need to make…[Read more]

Sounds to me like you need to worldbuild a bit. Build a government, build the landscape, build the people that operate within the government. Once you’ve done that, you can create characters that live inside that world, that government, and then you can create their ideals, their views, their beliefs…

I feel like @daeus or @aratrea would have…[Read more]

Hm, hm, hm… This can be tricky.

I’ll use my current WIP as an example. See, back when Prison was just a tiny whisper of an idea, I had my main character, Kara, wandering around a random, nameless city, on the run from a random, nameless group of government affiliated guards. Probably. See, a lot of the details were weakly tied together, and…[Read more]

@perfectfifths “Y’all” is more of a southern thing, not everyone in the States uses it. But I do. A lot.

Okay, but who… *sighs* *hangs head and decides to submit to her lack of LOTR knowledge* @ethryndal
