Emma Flournoy

There is an Inspiration Board. Well, I love Inspiration. Thanks @catwing for tagging me and @allison-grace for making the topic!

I do a lot of writing prompts and all, so, yeah, I’m not sure wether to put one of them down… hmm… Let’s see if this still works…

@his-instrument Porgs are definitely Snoke’s secret minions… 😉

*double facepalm* And I used the wrong form of ‘your’. My apologies, grammar fairies.

Why do I always forget about my own topics? *facepalm*

So first off @daeus You’re point about the lessons to be learned does open up a lot. I planned the second book by plotting out the theme first…I guess I should do that again, just for a national scale. And indeed it works very well. And usually, I would plot it out from beginning to end, I…[Read more]

@ethryndal @dragon-snapper @daughteroftheking Those are all so awesome! I love them!

@Emma-Flournoy Actually… no, no it’s not. More like fairytale. She’s a stepsister. (Whether it gave that impression or not… I kinda forgot about creating a proper atmosphere.)

Come to think of it, she’s only that evil 60% of the time. I suppose the collage caught her at a bad moment.

@allison-grace I follow the system taught by K.M.Wieland. It’s excellent as many others on here will testify. She has written several books on the subject and she has a series of articles on her blog covering the subject as well.

In her system, there are 18 major plot points. I like to have all of these down before I start writing. On top of…[Read more]

This is the thing about Kingdom Pen: You go forever thinking someone is 18, but it turns out, they’re actually twelve or something. This has happened to me on multiple occasions.

@xonos-darkgrate I think the youngest person we have is 13–that’s how old I was when I joined but then time happened so now I’m older…. XD

@xonos-darkgrate As far as the magic goes, I think it probably needs a bit more fleshing out with details, but as long as the power isn’t actually God’s power, but merely a separate power he created, I think you’re on the right track.

As for romance, it’s really up to you. It could be hard to write it without any experience and you do want to…[Read more]

…you’re younger than 15? @xonos-darkgrate I did not see that coming.

@xonos-darkgrate

Wow, it sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into all this. I like how it sounds sort of darker and edgier, but still good (as in good is good and will triumph).

Hi @xonos-darkgrate

Solid story idea. I think this could be really cool. Like @daeus and @kate-flournoy said, though, I think articulating exactly how the magic thing works could be tricky. But from what I’ve seen, it looks like you’re well on your way to solving it.

Everything that needs to be said has pretty much already been said here,…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate @daeus Maybe it’s that, the power is used by everyone, but depending on who you use it through and for if it’s light or dark or grey. It could be like praying, if you pray to God (the only one you’re supposed to pray to), or to idols or other things.

@xonos-darkgrate Good ideas. The one thing that confuses me is point 1. It sounds strange that Satan could manipulate God’s power. Maybe there’s there’s an outside force of power that God created and controls as a testing ground? I’m sure you’ll figure it all out.

@Catwing I gotta go now. *vanishes*

Ooh, even better now @catwing! I like it, I’d advise making the excerpt in italics. Also,(just my personal preference) Some suspenseful short sentences would be good.

@Catwing pssh nah, I’ll be fine…probably. xD Thanks for the offer…come October 30th I might be more desperate. XP

Oh fun, sounds like a great start, @Catwing
All I have for my NaNo novel so far is a couple of basic brainstorming ideas. 😛
