@That_Writer_Girl_99 *salutes* My pleasure. 😀 Go forth and conquer.

@Ethryndal you said it. *beams* Though if you’re going for ten kids, why not make it twelve? They come cheaper by the dozen, you know… *grins**winks*

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’m more than happy to help. 😛 Really though, it sounds like you have it… and yes, there are some things that only you can know and questions only you can answer. This is your story after all… I’ll never understand it like you do. Just know that if you want another opinion, I’m here.

No, it was actually quite natural for…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 ooooookayyyy… sounds like you have it all down. Was there something you wanted me to help with? Because honestly it sounds like you’ve got it.

Okey dokey! Good that you’re confident enough to switch themes; go for it. 😉

What are the implications?

@That_Writer_Girl_99

@Ethryndal well, me either. No need to apologize. 😉

@That_Writer_Girl_99 yes! Here I am! I read the chapter already and was just waiting for an opportunity to sit down and talk about it. ;P I’ve snatched a moment so here I am.
It’s really good. I read through the whole thing again and I really like where you’re going with this. The only question I have is whether or not you meant to make the guy…[Read more]

I’m graduating highschool as well. 😀
Erm… advice. Hm. 😛 Okay, maybe not so much advice as encouragement, but for those of you like me who aren’t really stellar in any one area, it does get better. There is an end. You won’t be stuck in the sea of mediocrity forever. My courageous mom somehow managed to drag me through sixteen years of…[Read more]

*silently snickers in the background*

@Emma-Flournoy I bow to your superior knowledge of facts. XD You’re probably right.

@Rachelle thanks for the info. 🙂

@Rachelle thanks for the info. 🙂

@That_Writer_Girl_99 love to, but I’m writing now too and I’ve promised myself I’m gonna finish this pivotal battle scene before bed.

@BethanySinkyRoses yeah… what they said. 😛

Also just realize that ‘parents’ is not some sort of alternate reality slot that some human beings choose to fall into and become not-human beings. Some people are parents, but all parents are people. These characters should be as developed as your other characters because they’re just as complex.…[Read more]

@bethanysinkyroses Quick answer: It’s okay to portray anyone unrealistically.

Long answer:

I think what’s going on in your example (not having read it) is that the author is trying to shine the spotlight on Christianity by making it idealistic in their story.

This isn’t really doing what they think it is though. The spotlight is focused in…[Read more]

@graciegirl Yep, it’s self paced.

Hehe! *peeks over a block of cheese as he munches on it* The mini course is just a small teaser. Feel thou teased.

Hi @emily-d!

Rhythm (aka meter) is a great thing to use even if you also use rhyme. The first thing to do is to learn the basic patterns of meter. You can easily learn about those online. I also recommend the book The Roar On The Other Side to learn poetry.

Five rounds of confetti if you can pick it up in a heartbeat. For me, it was a more…[Read more]

When Does Writing Get Easier? The 4 Steps to Mastery

@Northerner thanks for sharing your story. I started writing when I was thirteen, found KP when I was fourteen, and never looked back. That’s… WOW. O.o Is that four years ago? Yikes…
But yes. Anyway. KP is wonderful and amazing and fantastical and too good to be true and I would probably have quit writing by now if I’d never found them. Thank…[Read more]

@Cloudy I’d love to, but I think I’m going to follow @Daeus‘s example and restrain myself. Thanks for the invitation though. 😉
