@epicaddie2 Sometimes, when my perfectionist inner editor is being quite annoying, I can spend a couple hours just on one sentence and still be dissatisfied with it! Thankfully, though, the past 14 days I’ve been able to write over a thousand words a day.

Bye! Enjoy your break!

@epicaddie2 *cringes* That happens to me a lot when I’m writing my stories.

@epicaddie2 Same. Reading about animals or clones is interesting, but all the stuff with math or complicated Punnett squares and meiosis and what not I can do without.

@daughteroftheking *laughs* Mad Scientist’s Guild, that’s a great one. XD

However, I have other methods of taking over the world…

@daughteroftheking No problem. *smiles*

@epicaddie2 Having an easy lesson is indeed lucky. *nods wisely* And I agree math is the worst. It’s closely followed by certain science-y things as well, in my opinion. Like biology (mainly the hard-to-pronounce words and all the confusing crosses and what not).

Thanks for the luck! I’m quite sure…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking *helps you up* Hello and welcome! 🙂

@epicaddie2 Math? *shivers* That’s never been my favorite subject. Glad you can get back to writing soon! 🙂 I’m working on stuff for Lit. class, and then I may or may not finish my biology test before I can finally write.

@epicaddie2 I’m working on some homework for a bit, and then hopefully on to better things! Like, my Snow White retelling.

@epicaddie2 it seems like a lot to do, but you can totally do it. If you want to finish it today, you’ve got until midnight (if you wanna work for that long)

So, you need to write 2100 words in about 10 hours, or 210 words an hour (you can probably do a lot more)

My advice would be to, like @shannon and @that_writer_girl99 said, make an outline…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 They’re from National Treasure. Well, we can pretend they’re GIFs. 😉

@shannon Who’s your favorite character? 😀 And thank you, I quite like it too. 😀 (How long did you say you’d been playing guitar?)

@epicaddie2 Um…yes. Jaron can be quite stupid sometimes. Hey, let’s taunt Cregan so that I can ride an evil unbroken horse. Yeah. That’s a good idea. *facepalm* But he makes me laugh every time I read that book.…[Read more]

@daeus @aratrea Hehe. Excellente. Organizations! 😀

@shannon Um… how ’bout ‘Freestyle Jewelry’? Nah, that sounds like swimming. 😛
‘Feather Rings’
‘Spectrum Jewelry’…wow, that sounds really sci-fi.

And I can’t think of anything else.

@donnieclark I don’t know much about writing with handscreens…or whatever you want to call them, but I’ll tag some people who might possibly be able to help.

@daughteroftheking @shannon @daeus @kate-flournoy @ingridrd @leumeister @supermonkey42

I haven’t had time to read the other posts, but I will. It is bookmarked!!

@epicaddie2

So.

Inspiration eh?

*cough*
I had this problem.

For six months.

Which is why I’m going to help you get out of it.

The way I survived those six months was by writing the first story idea that came to my head the day that I got it. Of course, now I…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Yikes! That’s scary!

My advice is to not be a perfectionist at the moment. Just write. Time yourself even. Turn off all the internet (unless you use google docs). Do a word war with someone. You can edit everything later on. Just write.

Honestly? I’ve been in this situation before. It doesn’t get any easier and college (gasp!) just makes things worse.

My advice would be to limit your distractions and also to make an outline if you haven’t already. Write down what you know you want to include and focus on bridging the gap between those points. That helps you set and accom…[Read more]

@catwing Thanks! You can do it. 🙂

@donnieclark I take it you’re new to KP. Welcome! You have some interesting ideas and I can see where you coming from. I being a violin player understand a little of the complete historical autheticity and elitism. Do you like any genres besides Classical?

@epicaddie2 You can choose to completely ignore this. But for me if writers only ever relied on inspiration they’d hardly ever get anything done. It is fantastic when you do get inspired, don’t get me wrong.

Sometimes, however, you have to force yourself to write. Even if what you are writing feels horrible. Even, as you say, when inspiration is…[Read more]

Ooooh, getting Inspiration? I spend a lot of time trying to come up with ways to Inspire people.

Music does a lot for me, along with Pinterest. Music is more for Inspiration on emotions and scenes, while the many images on Pinterest spark up dreams of these people. Who are they? What is their story?

I like to try and question the motives of…[Read more]
