Okay everyone, I really gotta concentrate here, so if you wanna do this writing thing, that would be suuuuuper. I’ll write whatever though.

Well first, the biggest thing to keep in mind is that short stories are short… which is obvious, but one problem you can face is to try to fit a complex plot into a short story. Just don’t do that. Short stories should usually only have one scene. If they have more than one, the scenes should be short and the plot still not very complex. Some…[Read more]

@Christi-Eaton actually I only ever write short stories if I have a really interesting concept that bears exploring but I don’t know if I could make a whole novel out of it. I write short stories as little allegorical pictures, I guess you could say. A lot of my short story ideas come from reading Proverbs, actually. 😛 The way I approach most of…[Read more]

@Julia-R I actually have no idea who Snoke is. I haven’t even seen the prequels, so I’m not qualified to guess. 😛

@zoe-wingfeather @anne-of-lothlorien @christi-eaton
YES, THE WINGFEATHER SAGA!!!!!!!!! Janner’s death is so moving but so, so, SO devastating. I actually (*ahem*) read ahead by accident (it’s a bad habit) and found out that Janner died, but even knowing beforehand didn’t prepare me for it. I cried so hard. Janner comes back, right? I mean, he…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper yes, that scene was amazing. I think I was rooting for the wrong person, but still… 😛

@Daeus yeah… that was my original reaction. It took a while for the horror to sink in. 😛

Huh… I guess that makes sense.

Yep, pulling this up from the depths again and putting it back on topic…
So, I watched The Force Awakens again. I think I could probably watch it over and over and never get tired of it… because every time I watch it I see something new that I missed before.
The big realization this go around was something fairly small but I almost choked…[Read more]

Yes, that does sound about right. Some books are made to be read aloud. Les Mis is not one of them.

Oh and hey, on the note of email-lists, I bought an ebook a while back from a lady whose name is Rachel Starr Thomson— as soon as I bought the book I was automatically added to her email list, and though the book was nothing spectacular it was almost worth it to observe how well she managed her email marketing. I mean, several times she almost…[Read more]

@Daeus okay… I think I see. My other answer still stands, but you’re right, I would be less excited about an audiobook I’d already read, in which case the classic would motivate me about the same.

And that’s true. Digital readers don’t really need bookmarks do they… 😛 That was not very well thought out.

Ok, I have to leave at nine, so I’ll try to get up at 5 and write as much as I can, but I might not get up at five because I’ve developed an immunity to alarm clocks and actually get up earlier without them.

@kate-flournoy Okey dokey. So I want to incentivize two actions. Action 1 is already being incentivized by a book of mine. I’m already decided on that. The question is about action 2. I don’t want to reuse that same free offer since then if a reader completed action 1 and got the book, why would they complete action 2?

@kate-flournoy I edited two chapters and then wrote a 210 word short scene for EB.

I’d like to write tomorrow, but I have an event I have to attend. Maybe I can wake up early though, and I don’t think it will take up all day.

@Daeus yes but not sure of the schedule so I probably can’t race tonight. As far as I know I’ll be going all day tomorrow though. Do you want me to tag you when I start?

@kate-flournoy You writing tonight?

Not quite sure I understood your clarification @Daeus…

… Sorry?
