Sorry to interrupt, but what series is this? Who’s it by?

@winter-rose I can’t actually figure out why I didn’t feel a connection. =P Her thoughts seemed to be a bit generic at times, but it also may just be that some characters don’t click for everyone, and this was just a case where the protagonist didn’t click for me. So I don’t know if it’s necessarily the fault of the book.

@winter-rose I never felt emotionally invested in the protagonist, so the book didn’t move me as much as it did for other people here. :/ That being said, the book didn’t annoy me, and given that most dystopia books and most Christian fiction books annoy me, that caused this book to stand out. I also appreciated Brandes’ gutsiness in making Parvin…[Read more]

@winter-rose A Time to Die is my most favorite book asdfjl;k (sorry, I’m just excited to talk about it xD)

Yes, it is absolutely a cruel book. I cried numerous times. Because Juuudddeeee. *wails loudly* I’ve read the book twice, and it wasn’t until the second time that I really figured him out. He’s one of those complex characters that you wish…[Read more]

I’m with @kate-flournoy and @daeus. Thanks for the offer, though.

Did you guys know google docs had a chat thingy? Because I didn’t. *scowls* Kate finds pleasure in scaring me half to death. Apparently.

@emma-flournoy Long story short, a random notification appeared on my computer that said Kate had sent me a chat thing and I was like HOW DID SHE FIND ME? I was confused and startled but it was just Kate the…[Read more]

Ah, that makes sense.

@cloudy This basically a video chat thing?

I don’t think I’ll be on it. I need to discipline myself. Video’s too addicting. I might drop in on rare occasions though.

@emma-flournoy I don’t believe so.

@Emma-Flournoy I didn’t get much writing done that day. XD
Yessss. And seriously it’s such a cool concept. I really really want to write a superhero story now. About the super villain. Because there’s so much room for tragic backstory and betrayals and eep yes. BM is just so so amazing.

@Northerner We’re glad to have you. 🙂

Personally, I know I would never be where I am without KP.

@Emma-Flournoy I found it because I knew Rosey from the OYAN forum. So I binge read the entire thing in one sitting. XD SO MUCH EPICNESS.

@Emma-Flournoy YES YES GOODNESS BLANK MASTERMIND IS THE BEST.

@Emma-Fournoy YES YES GOODNESS BLANK MASTERMIND IS THE BEST.

*brain explodes* @kate-flournoy

Ugh. I’m supposed to be doing an exam but now you have me wondering how you did that in the first place… @kate-flournoy

*peeks in* @kate-flournoy I agree with Emma.

Also, I swear, Kate, if you ever scare me like that again… *glares*

@anne-of-lothlorien THREE BABIES!!! How fun! I’ll definitely pray for your aunt—my mother wasn’t able to have children until she was older, either. And of course I’ll pray for your mother and other aunt. And happy root canal, which I just realized is happening today. I be praying.

@Holly-Nelson-Gray If you haven’t yet, check out our recently published articles on writing descriptions. I think once you have a full understanding of the potential of descriptions and dialogue, your brain will naturally sort out how to balance them.

Your problem probably isn’t so much that you have too much dialogue, but that you don’t have…[Read more]

@Holly-Nelson-Gray Heyooo. I’m not entirely convinced that I’m interpreting the meaning of your question quite right, but I’ll take the plunge anyways. (So sorry if this is a useless bunch of rambles. xD)
My writing definitely leans to the dialogue side. I often accidentally forget to do very much description at all. So one of the most important…[Read more]
