Think of it as your hero’s journey. The theme is patience.

*smiles bleakly* Good advice @Daeus. I guess I will.

And I have begun to despair of that. :/ If one title fits in one regard it almost certainly won’t in another; that or it sounds off, or is too dry, or too melodramatic…

Oh well. I guess I’ll just have to keep trying. *brave, watery smile*

Uum, I’d generally recommend keeping yourself in one piece, @Kate-flournoy.

You’ll get a good title eventually.

@Daeus AAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!!!! *pounds head against wall, squeezes eyes shut and growls in frustration* I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. I can’t believe I didn’t recognize the cadence and realize it wasn’t an original idea. Urrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh…

*sigh* Thanks for pointing it out.

@kate-flournoy This is my answer. http://www.poetryfoundation.org/resources/learning/core-poems/detail/44272

That and I like Reckless.

Hey guys @Daeus @Hope @Jadamae @Gretald @Bluejay @Emma-Flournoy @anyone-else-who-was-on-this-topic, what do you think of the title ‘The Way Not Taken’? I know, I know, it’s not one word, but I kinda like it just the same. I’d forgotten about it until today, when a friend brought it up in a letter that I’d been considering that as a title. What do…[Read more]

Oh wow @Hannah-C! You are blessed! That is so awesome! 😀

@kate-flournoy On the other hand, I don’t think most writers like to tell other people they are writers, so there’s probably more out there we just don’t know of.

As for the revision, if you could get it done before next year, I would be impressed.

@Daeus that would be lovely, thank you. It won’t be ready any time soon— possibly not even until next year. It depends on how good I get at this whole rewriting thing in the meantime. 😉

Yes, everyone’s projects sound fascinating. Isn’t it strange to think what a perfectly writer-oriented community we have here? I mean, for my part, I…[Read more]

It’s neat to see what everybody’s doing.

Btw, @kate-flournoy, I can beta-read for the revision if you want.

@kate-flournoy I guess some things needed to be rewritten. I wouldn’t have said the whole book though. I also don’t know much about your series, but I suppose you would know when something needs to be changed to make it fit. So maybe you’re right, but I still suspect you’re being too hard on yourself.

Anyways, have fun. I’ll be having fun with my…[Read more]

@Daeus I am anything but un-extreme. 😉 Fact is, when I wrote that, I had literally zero clue that it wasn’t going to be a standalone book. Now there are ten more books to follow it. So first of all I need to make it so it leads into its sequel, and secondly— well— the whole thing stinks. I know, I know— extreme. But it does. Compared to the…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy A whole rewriting? That sounds kinda extreme. I thought it just needed some plot tweaks here and there and a couple more passes at editing. And of course, I’m always right.

Ok, everything but the last line.

Editing my WIP, and then *takes deep breath* I have finally decided to start rewriting my WIP’s prequel. Which I should have done the moment I finished it two years ago. It needs it. Majorly. 😛
I’m also planning to do a bit of work on a retelling of Snow White called The Mirror— just a novella, but fun nonetheless. @Hope got me hooked on…[Read more]

@gretald heehee… 😉 Thanks for the votes. I’m still wavering on the fence, actually. :/ I’ll figure it out one of these days.

@Hope I don’t know about Bible Verses, but one I really like is:

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing. ~ Benjamin Franklin

I also really like this one:

A professional writer is an amateur who didn’t quit. ~ Richard Bach

@Emma-flournoy Hey! Welcome to Kingdom Pen!
You’re related to Kate Flournoy, the Forum Superhero? *jaw drops to the floor*

Wow, I’m gone for one week, and I come back to 6 pages of discussion! SIX PAGES, people!!! 😛
In all seriousness, I really like Reckless and Uncharted, @kate-flournoy. I think I like Uncharted a little better. I don’t know; it just sounds cool. 😉
@Emma-flournoy and @Kate-flournoy *in British accent* Your…exchanges have been most…[Read more]
