You know you’re a writer if you get excited when you see the “You Know You Are a Writer When…” topic has been updated.

You know you’re a writer AND a fangirl/fanboy when you include names, cameos and/or easter eggs in your stories of things you love

*blinks away heart eyes….*

@atisastarrynight I personally love flashbacks, and I think they can be great if done well. I’m thinking of a certain person who is really good at doing this, but isn’t on KP, unfortunately. 🙁

But yes, have something trigger a memory. Keep it short. You definitely don’t have to info dump. Just let your character remember something, but not all…[Read more]

@livgiordano. Hey! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet…which I’m sure everyone has already said. But hey! why not?

Glad to have you here!

@waterlily Oh wow. This sounds so awesome. I would totally read this.

@waterlily 😀 Yeah. That sounds like a pretty neat idea.

The seawyrms sound quite interesting, too. The crests confused me at first, but I realized you could do something like having a way in the story to manipulate pigments in their scales and cause certain colors to bleed through, and to make the crest, the colors are manipulated in a certain…[Read more]

@overcomer Great. 😀

Here’s a doc for you. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BIHK8v-ag07-tPraj6QWrbf_BVN2P_PjySIw87Ljfyg/edit?usp=sharing

@sleepwalkingmk oh HEY ADORA!!! So cool to see you here! And you’re an MK? Somehow I totally missed that before. XD

@itisastarrynight that sounds way too awesome! I love that idea!

Ohh @itisastarrynight you cannot imagine how helpful this is for me. It’s like the biggest AHA moment ever. Okay. Thank you, thank you, a million times over. Everyone’s advice is finally making sense. That MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. Seriously. You’re totally awesome now. 😉 (not that you weren’t before, but I just got a taste of that awesomeness for the…[Read more]

@gh24682468999

Thanks for the links! I’ll definitely check them out!

@livgiordano

They’d probably be great friends. XD

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Wish me luck, as I’ve got to have *something* ready for him tomorrow…

@Sam-Kowal

Don’t even talk to me about that chapter.

I’m still in feels denial.

XD

@sage-g  Since SeekJustice commented, I might as well comment, too:

Your sister is AMAZING! WOW! If I ever get around to those illogical children’s books that I started when I was thirteen, I am SO asking her to illustrate them!

@daughteroftheking  @ingridrd  I love those names!!!!!

@rochellaine  *talking to self* She likes Adric…. SHE LIKES ADRIC!!!!!!!!! Sorry, Adric is a Dr Who character’s name, and you know how we Whovians are……..

@livgiordano Hello, Olivia! I’m super late, but hiiiiii! This is Adora I.–Y-dubber and alpha of BNIS 😀 Welcome 🙂 Great to see you on here!

@radically-surrendered my friend gave me permission. So here’s a few pictures. XD

…….That was weird……..

TAKE TWO! *claps clapperboard*

Thanks @rochellaine!  I might actually use some of those for my novella! (assuming I ever get back to it……)

Anyway, can I drop in some names, too?

@aratrea  Yep, @rochellaine is right! Outside of the topic, before Rochellaine posted, it SAID I posted recently, but my post is gone!

Spam?! Hmmm, that makes sense, actually. It’s happened about three times, and all of those times, I remember that the posts were pretty long. This one was long, too.

If it helps, here is another place where it…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 I don’t recommend making your story short just to write a short story. Make the story as long as it should be. A story should be short when the concept, plot, etc are simple enough that a short story is all that is needed; a story should be long when the concept, plot, etc need more room to flourish.

Setting is important for any…[Read more]
