@daughteroftheking There’s Viking in my blood! (Really! I’m descended from Vikings! :-D) I will! *marches out into a world of new ides*

@kate-flournoy, @jess-penrose, @jane-maree

Thank you all for your advice! I appreciate it!! 😉

Jane, lengthy is okay! 😉

*Raises eyebrows* And that is why I asked you @jane-maree. You are way better than I am at explaining. Thanks!

@Dekreel something to think about is that Catcher in the Rye is about a character going on an adventure, and the reader experiencing his thoughts and emotions along the way.
I could list many many books that have this same vague plot. If I look at my bookshelf, there’s half a dozen that I see immediately which I could say had that idea as…[Read more]

@dekreel – LATE…but Welcome to KP! 🙂

@dekreel
Never read it, however, all books are about someone on a journey. If it includes their thoughts, then there you go. Aside from that, I have no clue.
If you add in more of a story line and have a unique form of character development, then the story is your own.
Not sure if that was any help.
@jane-maree Do you have any thoughts?

@emily @catwing Welp…I unfortunately have to sign out now, but it would seem that you two are in different time zones than I. Read you all around. Enjoy your music…and living. 😛

@catwing @emily

@dekreel same. I know it’s a classic but I’ve never read it. 🙁

But as far as unique and compelling stories go… when you think about it, all stories are pretty much a mash-up of the same storylines being used over and over again. What makes them their own is what the author uses them to say. When a new voice picks up an old story, new depths…[Read more]

@emily Enya! (Watch, I’m not going to die this time) *lives* Isn’t it awesome! 😀

Well, I was listening to some videogame music, but it was scratchy, so I turned to my battle playlist.

@emily … Um… *shrugs* Maybe it comes from the term, “It’s to die for…” ? Which never made sense to me because if you died for it then you can’t have it. Okay, so I didn’t die. I pretended to die. I’m still alive!

@emily @catwing ‘Sup. 😀

I’m writing, and going to find way better music than this…because this…must stop.

@daeus I clicked the link and all that, will the doc be in my email or something? 🙂

@salome01w4g Be that as it may, you have to get through the creepy stuff to get to the good ending. 😉 I’m sure I’ll go back to it sometime. 😀

@emily I have never heard of Tree of Life, but that title makes me wanna listen to it! Sounds awesome

Hello, @aratrea!! Better late than never! I do feel welcome! Please tell your brother that he’s nuts, but also pretty cool. And I said hi. 😉

Hi, @emma-flournoy! Well, fall has FINALLLLYYYY arrived in Texas! It’s so cool, and wonderful! And sunny! I like to call it, “Roll-Down-The-Car-Window-And-Pant-Like-A-Dog season.” XD Of course, it’ll…[Read more]

It kinda disconnects me in a way. Even in third person narratives, you can reach this point where you feel like stuff in the story is happening right now. But dairy entries interrupt that for me. They serve as a constant reminder that the action I am reading about has happened already which is a bit distancing. Maybe it’s just me.

Nope. I’m w…[Read more]

*stares pensively at screen* I meant: “Even in PAST TENSE narratives…”
*mutters incoherently* Third person narratives…what in the world, Gracie…

@Daeus I likey. *double thumbs up*

As far as the diary debate-thingy…If it will just be a short story or a novella, I say keep the diary format. But as a reader, I would feel a little weird reading something in that format for a full-length novel. It kinda disconnects me in a way. Even in third person narratives, you can reach this point where…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Yep, the 3rd person one.

@graciegirl Well, cool. 🙂 I’ll send you the doc.
