Snapper replied to the topic Short Story Characteristics in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 8 months ago
Heh. You tagged me.
Welp, writing short stories is actually really difficult for me. The only thing harder than writing a short story for me is coming up with a character’s name. XD
But I’ll give you what advice I can from the few successful times I’ve written or read short stories.
So, if you do have a big story world, don’t…[Read more]

Snapper replied to the topic Would You Read This? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 8 months ago
@waterlily This does sound like a neat concept! The only thing that doesn’t quite make sense to me is how the seawyrms could have her family crest marked on them? Am I just misunderstanding? Of course, when you go to write this you can definitely explain in better detail. XD

LivGiordano replied to the topic Help: Explaining to Math kids in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 8 months ago
@aella Sounds like my fourteen year old brother. XD Yeah, just try to make it sound as logical and straightforward as possible.
I asked my brother for advice, and he said that what he found logical and made sense was the story-structure database on KM Weiland’s website. Because it probably uses books/movies that he is already familiar with. And…[Read more]

LivGiordano replied to the topic Short Story Characteristics in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 8 months ago
@gh24682468999 I am getting into writing short stories right now, so I want to see what advice everyone else gives you. 🙂
Yeah, I would advise not really making the world super developed, and with lots of back story and such. With the setting, I really don’t know. It possibly could add a lot, and be important to your story, but I’m really not…[Read more]

SleepwalkingMK replied to the topic Homework for Video 9: Theme & Story Structure in the forum Writing Assignments 8 years, 8 months ago
@aratrea Hm, for some reason I thought I’d posted in here. Both my post in the discussion and here somehow aren’t here anymore 😛
I’m not sure I did this right, but here goes.
Theme: Purpose in life/what to live for
Plot goal: To get back home, back to the way it was (the way she wants)
Thematic goal: To help, doing what she can in the…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 do you have the link to that post by chance?

LivGiordano replied to the topic Hey Everyone! in the forum Start HERE 8 years, 8 months ago
@itisastarrynight Nice! What is your WIP about? I love fantasy so much. And a homeschooler too. Totally awesomeness! KP does seem pretty great. 🙂
@emily-d I love literature, English, and grammar. That is just the best part of it. How about you? I do like animals! Especially cats. Yes, animals are pretty cool. I love horses, dogs, and birds.…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield @daeus @aratrea @………
I don’t know who exactly is in charge of the coding and stuff for the forums, but I have found a few times now that after I post something, when I try to edit it, I click save, and the topic reloads etc… and my entire post is GONE! I can’t get it back, and I have to completely redo it!
Why is th…[Read more]

Sam Kowal replied to the topic Book Recommendations in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 8 months ago
@jane-maree There’s not many characters I like more than Kal. 😀 He’s storming wonderful. That chapter in Way of Kings with Amaram and the Shards… *starts banging head onto table and clenching fists* …was rather moving.
XD It’s funny how they all rhyme like that. Their names could be a poem

Sam Kowal replied to the topic Irrational or Rational? in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 8 months ago
Yeah, that’s a good idea 😀
You can show how close to dreaming science and math actually can get, to start with. Some of the world’s greatest scientists unfolded some of the greatest secrets in the world because they were dreamers, and dreamed beyond what others thought was possible. And then made discoveries no one thought…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Email List 101 in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 8 months ago
@jane-maree Yes, well, certainly there can be exceptions, but that’s the general trend. With KP, I know that our emails were read more when we removed all images from them except the picture prompts. That’s with people telling us they liked the pictures in the emails.
I’d recommend split testing it if you’re unsure. Just send out some with images…[Read more]

@Sam-Kowal Arghh yessss. I started Words of Radiance last night and so far I’m loving it too. *lots of flailing*
Kal, Shal, and Dal though. XD That cracked me up. Kal is definitely my favourite though. *hugs the precious bridgeboy* xP
