Oh no, not stupid! Nothing is ever stupid so long as you are willing to take the time to fix it. 😛
So you think you’re hooked on writing then? I know I was by the time I finished my first ‘real-novel’— once the writing bug bit me I was bit for good. 😉

Yes @anna-brie— that is the surest test. 😀

A thousand welcomes, Anna! Congratulations— you have joined the ranks of the most impressive army of nut-cases on the internet. 😉
What kind of stuff do you write? What did you most like about your first novel? What did you most dislike?

Again, welcome. This is the bestistist place on the internet. (There @Daeus— I beat you to it). 😉

@writefury, yes! I just can’t get over how ironic that is… 😛

Vivacious is another word I like. I love how it sounds 🙂

@sarah-h, An irritable colonel, an very very independent adopted daughter of his, a wily criminal, a malicious colonel, an impoverished young physician and his mother, and many other unique characters to whom unique things happen. An excellent story.

@Sarah-h huh. I guess I’ve never looked for it. 🙂

Shadow Hawk, by Andre Norton. Hittite Warrior and God King by Joanne Williamson.

haha! I didn’t even notice it at first @bluejay – and I should know that name pretty well by now.

Lunch @bluejay! It’s 8:00 pm here! 😛

If that’s what it is, I definitely have it!

Let me take a guess at hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. Does it mean the fear of oversized four footed hippopotami?

YES. All of the above. 😀

Oh good grief, you guys make me shudder! Where do you find these terrible tongue twisters?!?! 😛 😛 😛

@Daeus, Yes! Doesn’t Tolkien use the word discombobulated? Or maybe I’m thinking of confusticated. 🙂

Some of my personal favorites are pseudonym (I just love that way it sounds) and hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia (I think I spelled that right…).

Hi everyone! Sorry I didn’t respond sooner. 🙂

Thank you all for your advise! @writefury, I haven’t done much of anything yet…I guess I didn’t know where to start (but I did come up with the MC’s name, which is a start 🙂 ).

@hannah-krynicki, that’s a great idea! I’ll have to try that.

@kate-flournoy and @daeus, I will have to refer back…[Read more]

Oh yes! Carry on Mr. Bowditch— that’s one of my favorites as well. 🙂

Haha… yes, the rug. 😛 The description was definitely overboard for a great part of the book. But oh boy was it rich! 😛

Hey, I’m glad it was helpful @Rolena-Hatfield! 🙂

As for the mentor question, I’ve actually not studied that much… I’ll get back to you if I come up with any earthshaking conclusions. 😉
