@dragon-snapper That seems a lot like Theron. 😀

Um, speaking as a left handed person myself, I can tell you that such a statement is woefully incorrect, not to mention…rude. @the-real-kapeefer 🙂

@joy First of all, I’m going to say something unusual.

If you can give up on writing, do so. Fiction writing is literally the worst type of work ever. Only an idiot would be a writer. Now, if you’re reading this and going, “Noooooo! Don’t say that. *tears* I can’t stop!” — if that’s the case, then please, please, please keep writing. If I can’t…[Read more]

Hi! @the-real-kapeefer It’s nice to finally see you on the forums. Hope you enjoy your time here 😉

Random question, since no one else ever bothers to ask this (but I think it’s interesting)–are you left handed or right handed?

@dragon-snapper Josiah is going to have a mini Daniel on top of his head??? 😛

@aratrea What have you done!!!??!?!?!

@the-real-kapeefer *waves* 🙂

*gasps* IT’S HIM. THE INFAMOUS DANIEL HIMSELF.
Hiya, @The-Real-KaPeeFer *waves* You probably wouldn’t know (or maybe you do?) but I’m one of the Aussies on the forum. I’d like to applaud your youtube skills (unfailing laughter every time *thumbs up*).

@aislinn-mollisong A+ reference right there

@the-real-kapeefer I’d like to see you try.

@daughteroftheking Okay. 😉

@destiny Thanks. That would be great! I was planning on asking for early reviewers in just a couple days actually. When I make that post, I’ll make sure to tag you so you can sign up.

@aratrea Hmm. Maybe I will. I think I’ll wait till I finish my upcoming book launch though. 😉

Those are really helpful thoughts @daeus. If you ever wanted to do a full article detailing what you learned from your self-publishing experience, I think that would be a pretty helpful article premise.

@livylynn I’m still working on bringing my works to publication, but when I do, my plan is to try and pursue both options at once, since I think…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Those are really cool! The design is excellent and it just screams sci-fi. I would have imagined the characters a little differently, but Ike’s pretty good actually.

@aislinn-mollisong First of all, I just read your prophecy and had to say you did a great job with it.

As for writing in first person, I think that could work great. Of course, third person could work great too. I’d recommend trying them both out and seeing which one you like better.

@livylynn I have self-published once.

When I first started writing, I really wanted to be traditionally published, but I eventually did a 180. The reason was simple. Since I was a beginning author, publishers would want to see my platform before they published me. And if I already had a platform, why not self-publish? After all, self-publishing…[Read more]

No worries. I’ve gotten several chapters into a story before realizing that I needed to change the perspective. If that’s what you think is best, than I say go for it!

@that_writer_girl_99 Didn’t see your previous reply to the subject. On that front, I think it’s helpful to distinguish between a theme and a message. A theme is just a topic like mercy or justice. A message says what you should do with regards to that specific topic (e.g. you should always how people mercy, or you should be wise on who you show…[Read more]

eesh. I only recently learned what a character arc was, and I’m still trying to figure out how to write one. @epicaddie2 But what @dragon-snapper said is right. We’re people, constantly learning what’s right and wrong, just like our characters. If you strive to portray that accurately, then I’m not sure you can restrict an arc to any length.…[Read more]

Alright @aratrea thanks for replying! I’ll see what I can do…
