@Daeus what don’t I mean?

And honestly I don’t know. I’m so desperate I’m going to try outlining to see if it’ll speed up the process. 😛
I tend to set myself impossible goals, in case you hadn’t noticed. *hysterical laughter*

@bluejay That sounds neat, but like Kate, I’m trying not to take on too much extra writing.

Speaking of which, just how do you plan to write 4-5 books a year, @kate-flournoy? That and, oh dear … you don’t mean … oh dear.

Ok, so by now hopefully you’ve read chapters three and four. If so, it’s time to pick them apart.

I’ll start by…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy It certainly could be, though I think you would need more descriptions. (i.e. Makes quick tugs at sleeve that create snapping noise + has confident look)

@Daeus hm, okay… ‘is cheerful, tugs on sleeve-cuffs; fascinating’?

@kate-flournoy Yes, only I’m not sure I would find that fascinating. Maybe if there were a supporting quality with it *question mark?* You got the idea, though.

@Daeus ah… I get it. Wow, this is going to be so fun. I don’t know how steadily I’ll be able to do this, but I’ll definitely jot down anything I can.

Just to make sure I actually do get it, say someone walks in the door. I notice that they’re always tugging on their sleeve-cuffs, so I jot down ‘Tugs on sleeve-cuffs; fascinating’? Is that it?

@Daeus ah… I get it. Wow, this is going to be so fun. I don’t know how steadily I’ll be able to do this, but I’ll definitely jot down anything I can.

@kate-flournoy Well, first, you are only looking for traits that are fascinating, attractive, or charismatic. This could be an action, expression, trait, etc. You only need to catalogue whatever it is though. Nothing else is important about that person. The exception is if the quality that makes them fascinating, attractive, or charismatic…[Read more]

Hm… this does sound like an interesting challenge. But unfortunately I probably wouldn’t be able to do it— I write only in the evenings and all day Saturday, and I have an eleven book series and a steampunk/scifi and several other novels to write before I’m twenty… 😛 Actually the goal is write before I’m married, which to the best of my…[Read more]

Wow, this sounds fun! I do this mentally anyway, but I’m sure I could find a notebook somewhere… and since our cabin business brings different people to our door every day, I’m all set! 😀 I don’t know how often I’ll remember to make physical note of it, but I’ll try.

Just to be clear, we can take any personality/personality trait we find and…[Read more]

@Overcomer oooh I want the rest of the story. I love how you used the leaves— masterful use of imagery there.

@Winter-Rose that is awesome! And now you feel like crashing, right? 😉

@Daeus ah. That’s pretty neat. I’ll definitely store that info away. 😉

@kate-flournoy Well, I’ve never used sawdust before. I believe if it were fresh it would already be sterile, but if it were aged it would have been infected with competitive spawn. I can’t be quite sure of that though. Most times things are sterilized by heat.

@Daeus ‘sterile’? Uh… how does one sterilize sawdust?
