You know you’re a writer if you get excited when you see the “You Know You Are a Writer When…” topic has been updated.

You know you’re a writer AND a fangirl/fanboy when you include names, cameos and/or easter eggs in your stories of things you love

*blinks away heart eyes….*

@atisastarrynight I personally love flashbacks, and I think they can be great if done well. I’m thinking of a certain person who is really good at doing this, but isn’t on KP, unfortunately. 🙁

But yes, have something trigger a memory. Keep it short. You definitely don’t have to info dump. Just let your character remember something, but not all…[Read more]

@livgiordano. Hey! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet…which I’m sure everyone has already said. But hey! why not?

Glad to have you here!

@waterlily Oh wow. This sounds so awesome. I would totally read this.

@waterlily 😀 Yeah. That sounds like a pretty neat idea.

The seawyrms sound quite interesting, too. The crests confused me at first, but I realized you could do something like having a way in the story to manipulate pigments in their scales and cause certain colors to bleed through, and to make the crest, the colors are manipulated in a certain…[Read more]

@sleepwalkingmk oh HEY ADORA!!! So cool to see you here! And you’re an MK? Somehow I totally missed that before. XD

@itisastarrynight that sounds way too awesome! I love that idea!

Ohh @itisastarrynight you cannot imagine how helpful this is for me. It’s like the biggest AHA moment ever. Okay. Thank you, thank you, a million times over. Everyone’s advice is finally making sense. That MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. Seriously. You’re totally awesome now. 😉 (not that you weren’t before, but I just got a taste of that awesomeness for the…[Read more]

If you’re still looking for readers, @daeus , I’m more than willing.  My local libraries have been a desert lately, so I’m good and bored and full of unrealistically high expectations.

Which means I’m ripe for giving criticism– er, feedback. 😉 🙂

@Sam-Kowal

Don’t even talk to me about that chapter.

I’m still in feels denial.

XD

@sage-g  Since SeekJustice commented, I might as well comment, too:

Your sister is AMAZING! WOW! If I ever get around to those illogical children’s books that I started when I was thirteen, I am SO asking her to illustrate them!

@daughteroftheking  @ingridrd  I love those names!!!!!

@rochellaine  *talking to self* She likes Adric…. SHE LIKES ADRIC!!!!!!!!! Sorry, Adric is a Dr Who character’s name, and you know how we Whovians are……..

@rochellaine  Great idea!!!  I have a few…

Girls: Lenna, Mern, Andraya

Boys: Den, Boren, Remiro (rem-EAR-oh)

Kinda weird, but…*shrugs*.

@skredder  *starts chanting* Write it, write it, write it, write it…!  This has the makings of a brilliant story.  🙂

@radically-surrendered my friend gave me permission. So here’s a few pictures. XD

@daeus I’ve heard that people distrust emails with photos, but since I’m an artist and a large portion of my future email list would revolve around art, I’m not sure that would work. As you and Jane Maree suggested, I can always play around until I figure out what works for me and my subscribers. 🙂

…….That was weird……..

TAKE TWO! *claps clapperboard*

Thanks @rochellaine!  I might actually use some of those for my novella! (assuming I ever get back to it……)

Anyway, can I drop in some names, too?

Girls (I got these from a book, mostly)

• Airow
• Aine
• Altair
• Ashe
• Vekka
• Cleo
• Dae
• Dove
• Elke
• Fae
• Faune
• Ginger

@anne-of-lothlorien I actually thought about doing Aberdeen comics for subscribers, but I hadn’t decided for sure.

Oh, I will definitely let you know when my email list is up and running. 🙂 I’m hoping sometime in March or April.

Thanks for your advice, Anne!!! 🙂

@aratrea  Yep, @rochellaine is right! Outside of the topic, before Rochellaine posted, it SAID I posted recently, but my post is gone!

Spam?! Hmmm, that makes sense, actually. It’s happened about three times, and all of those times, I remember that the posts were pretty long. This one was long, too.

If it helps, here is another place where it…[Read more]
