@jenwriter17, I’m trying to finish chapter five of my book. and write the blog post for this week. what about you?

@jenwriter17, I’m still here. my computer is having problems so if I disappear its probably because of that

@jenwriter17

you writing?

@seekjustice, so far yeah. I only got to the wedding though. then the computer crashed.

well, I have to go now.

@jenwriter17, I might be

@seekjustice, I’m working on my book while at the same time trying to write a character interview for my blog.

oh, and I started listening to Tale of Two Cities today

anyone on yet?

@seekjustice, @rochellaine, @jenwriter17, @ariel-ashira

@ariel-ashira Well, this isn’t really something I think about a whole lot because I tend to have a good grip on my characters so I just always do what feels right for them and it pretty much turns out. I guess though personally, if I had a brother I thought was dead show up alive I would probably rush him and hug him.

just saying, still here

@Jenwriter17 pretty much just throwing in all the subplots and more try-fail sequences will fill out your plot a lot more.

@seekjustice, @rochellaine,

I don’t know if anyone is on, but I’m here

@jenwriter17 I think Daeus and Kate got it. Basically, make things more complex. A longer story, more in depth themes, more characters, conflicts, obstacles to overcome, and more live scenes.

@jenwriter17, sadly I don’t know. I try to write a short story and it becomes a series…

@jenwriter17 Yeah, what Kate said is huge. If you have part 2 of my Show Don’t Tell Course, I have a whole lesson on live scenes there, but basically a live scene is the literary version of a camera taking in everything that’s happening in a scene. No time is skipped. An overview is like when someone tells you what happened at their birthday…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 heh… I’ve got the opposite problem. 😛

*scratches head* I would say probably the number one thing that makes my novels so ridiculously long is the crazy amount of time I spend really delving into the layers of chemistry in live scenes. I try to do all live scenes if I possibly can (no summaries, no overviews, no generalizations)…[Read more]

@rochellaine, depends on what I mean by the word early. Early morning? or early for you? in this case its both

@ariel-ashira
Ooo, Millie and Gideon are my favorite characters, too, and Adam’s close behind XD My favorite song has to be Sobbin’ Women because of how hilarious it is. What’s your favorite song?

@rochellaine @ariel-ashira Yessss! Seven Brides for Seven Brothers!! 😀
