Snapper started the topic Fighting The Block in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 8 months ago
Hey guys!
So, I’m just going to say it…. writing’s been hard lately. I just started another novel–10,000 words through– but as I write, I really have to force myself to keep going. I try to write well, of course, but I feel almost disconnected from my book. I can write as fast as I used to if I force myself to, if I really really try, but I…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 my most memorable and embarrassing writerly moment will always be the time I had to explain to the chiropractor that my hip was out of place because I slipped on our hardwood floor choreographing a fight scene… he was very nice about it, but the startled, slightly skeptical sidelong look he gave me, and the funny little laugh,…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I really haven’t had people say anything particularly humorous or weird about me being a writer…most of the time they’re just like, “how you going to eat? Or pay the bills?” 😅
I have wrote some funny things though. Like I wrote “he was carrying five sacks of grocery bags” when I meant to write “he was carrying five sacks of groc…[Read more]

@catwing Well, that’s a difficult question…some of the dinosaurs are trainable whereas others…er…not so much. 😉🦖
@daughteroftheking It’s kinda funny, when you wrote “talking plants” all I could think of was that Veggie Tale episode with the talking weed. 😅

@dekreel My introductory forum thread was called “Hi-ya!!! *waves manically*” and I just reused it on my forum thread when I came back as a joke, so it may be me. But I haven’t been around enough these past couple weeks to know if someone else uses it. 😀

@valtmy 😀 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!
My dragon pal, Stan, says hi, too. 😀
Sadly, I do not watch really any anime. If I ever do though, I’ll look for your recommendations.
I’m a fantasy writer, so I thought your story sounded really cool. (So did Stan.)
Also, please do not try to mount any sort of INTJ rebellion. King…[Read more]

I’ll definitely check it out when I’m done here!
(Ha, I know all about long rambling, that’s me all the time…Usually concerning something I either love or hate).
Time travel indeed! I was once listening to an American pastor on a podcast who left America on a flight to Australia and completely skipped over his birthday (I think…[Read more]

I used to print them off the internet and fill them out, but I found I never ever used the stuff I wrote in them, so I’ve designed my own system which I use now and I find very helpful. Personally, writing is super difficult without them!
(I’ve already been to Sunday morning church! I’ll never get used to time zones).

@alia The Doctor (Who-fanfic! ;P ) would rather be on the run with an ally she can’t stand. She loves that 😛
@perfectfifths Ohh, that’s a tough one… Maybe, ooh, never have a birthday again

@his-instrument Quoting from my email updates since your post disappeared…
Those are some good names…
Piper is cute, probably my favorite. The only thing is, I think Piper is a character in the Percy Jackson series (though I haven’t read it). Not sure how much popularity that series has right now, or what your goal is for this project, so it m…

@lightningmouse Mm-HMM 😀
What genre is it? The title sounds like fantasy, but the synopsis sounds like modern or something…

@jenwriter17 Heheh, that’s funny 😀
That’s a good idea!
Okay, this isn’t exactly as funny as yours, but one time I was talking to my aunt about writing, using terms like plotting, themes and character arcs. I didn’t know, until she asked, that she had no idea what a “character arc” was. I had assumed everyone knew the answer XD
