I’ve got rhythm in my blood and melodies in my thoughts.
That would actually make a good first line XD
@shannon Is your family a musical family?

@that_writer_girl_99Â *wails* I KNEW IT WAS TOO LONG!
It’s okay. Um…. That’s a problem. Cuz everything I write ends up either very long or very short XD

@dekreel, thanks. I actually had verse 2 ready and done and was about to post it when I realized that it would probably send a different message than was intended

@catwing, glad you didn’t take it that way, though I still feel bad for wording it like that…how is it possible for a writer to be terrible at communicating in real life, but in books it’s easy??

Oh My Word, love this.
CHARACTER NAMES
I prefer having names with meanings that fit characters, so what I do it sorta brainstorm the character, figure out who they are, and then take those characteristics and looked them up. Or I choose what there background is like and choose a name that fits. For example, I had a character that wasn’t…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Never fear, my friend, I can promise you that somewhere inside that head of yours, there is advice that might help someone else. Thanks for your input!
@dekreel No, that’s great! I don’t mind the questions, and I’m happy to answer any more you might have. But would you care to be my guinea pig for a sec? If you had to summarize one of…[Read more]

Oh, dear… this sounds really cool, but I don’t consider myself an expert advice dispenser. I’ll just try to answer the questions you exampled to get myself started…Inspiration) Ideas inspire me.

@sam-kowal, interesting that you didn’t think it was a copy of the other ones. the entire movie my sister and I were holding up fingers showing which episode they were copying in our minds.

Do they have to be thought over? How thought over? How long does it have to be?
Sorry about all the questions!!

oh, I forgot Phasma. I love the fact that in the end we got to see her eye. because that was pretty crucial for Finn’s development. just think, he was willing to kill her right h=there, until he saw her eyes, loved that subtle character development

@there-are-way-to-many-tags-to-remember…
I can join!
I have mixed feelings about this movie. for one, this director took a very different approach to Rey than J. J. Abrams. not sure if I like it
Super glad that there was no romance between Kylo Ren and Rey, even though it seemed inevitable.
Kinda wish Rey had joined the dark side, that would…[Read more]

I find this conversation very depressing. 😉
Okay….soooooo.
I actually think that everyone else covered it. The one kill-dragon scene I wrote was terrible–perhaps I should have asked this question myself.Besides, I can’t give away information on how to take down my comrades.

@introvert_girl Hmm, that’s kind of a tough one for me. I haven’t ever done that before.
😀 XD XD The first thing I thought of when reading the first couple lines of your post was the new Star Wars films! They definitely could have had a really hard time with that. Han, Luke, and Leia were some of the most beloved characters of all time… and…[Read more]

Snapper replied to the topic Ice cream and Raspberries in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 8 months ago
@supermonkey42 @sam-kowal @inkling-for-christ The Ice cream and raspberries were originally made popular by Daeus, just because he loved them and made mention of them at random times. I incorporated that into the LOKD, which is the first (as far as I know) of the Kapeefer Literature. 😀
Does that answer your question?

Sam Kowal replied to the topic How to (realistically) kill a dragon in the forum Plotting 8 years, 8 months ago
Stan really, really takes offense at this. He is a dragon, after all. And an angry one, right now.
*puts Stan to bed*
*whispers*
Okay, now maybe I can help.
So, it sorta depends on the dragon. Someone like Stan… well, that would be pretty easy. He’s small and can’t fly. (please, don’t ever read that, Stan.)
Whereas one like @dragon-…[Read more]
