Great points, @Ethryndal.

@DelightinLife everything @Daeus said. 😛

I will add that you probably shouldn’t worry too much about developing your own voice, because it will develop by itself as you grow in confidence and knowledge. Especially if you focus in on the more nitty gritty aspects of writing, like the prose itself— what makes prose delightful and engaging; what…[Read more]

@DelightinLife wow… that is an impossible question. :”D

Oh boy… ugh. Hm. Okayyyy… disclaimer: all following opinions or statements are subject to alteration and contradiction at any given time and without any prior notice. 😛

Top three favorite books… Well, I’m going to go with stories because one’s a trilogy. *winkwink* Les Miserables,…[Read more]

Bravo, I’ll just test some more then. *mutters to himself*

@delightinlife The first question is easier to answer than the second.

Voice is basically the “tone” you write in. It’s the types of details you include or don’t include, how many of them you include, how much you show or tell, what type of characters you write about, whether you lean towards sarcasm, cuteness, or morbidity, and many other…[Read more]

*looks very strict* This new rule will be enforced by little tiny raspberry soldiers carrying bazookas.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 aha. My mistake. 😉

@Daeus that’s awful. I will definitely be praying.

I just heard of a recent tragedy with a family here in Ohio. They’re a Christian family named the Stockdales. I don’t know them, but I’ve met them before. Anyway, one of their sons just killed his youngest brother and mother with a shotgun and then tried to take his own life. He’s in the hospital at the moment.

So, pray for them if you…[Read more]

@Emily-D Okay, great question, and a very big one.

I’ll try to cover it the best I can. First of all, I cover some techniques for crafting strong characters in my Jumpstart Your Novel, which is free for the time being, so I recommend you go ahead and sign up for that if you haven’t already. Even if you don’t have a lot of time, just go watch the…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 ooooh, I love it! Very nice. It could almost be a poem if you rearranged it. 😀

One thing— plot hole alert. If the Warden created the gene, how old is he for there to be really, really old people in the prison? Or were they not inheritors of the gene, but the first experiments?

@Emily-D wow… what an enormous question. 😛

Lemme take a stab at answering it coherently. First step, I would say, is figuring out the contradictions of your character.
For instance, everyone has something that they want. For the sake of conversation, let’s say I want pie. But then, everyone also has something that they need— and most of…[Read more]

@winter-rost A name? That…is something I really need to work on. 😉

I had a lot of distractions, but I managed to edit 394 words, so, hey! Better than nothing.

(@winter-rose I’m editing my time travel story, and I don’t listen to music while a write unfortunately.)

@dragon-snapper @winter-rose @that_writer_girl_99 I’m here.

@dragon-snapper I might have been called King Daeus once, but I can’t remember clearly. I know we called Josiah The Wiser a couple times. 😉

@emma-flournoy *bows low, stroking cliché mustache* Much appreciated.

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

I was planning to write right about now, but then this came up, and, well…I’m not disappointed I stopped to read. May the clichés never end!
