I have to say I’m a little obsessed with clinchers as well (but I didn’t know people called them that).

No, I don’t think clinchers (if you are, in fact, referring to catchy first sentences) are necessary. But they definitely spark the reader’s interest. I agree what @kate-flournoy said about cheating the reader’s expectations, and her exception…[Read more]

Excellent thoughts guys! I agree with Hannah. I love a book that has good humor in it. 🙂 …anyways, I don’t have much more to add, but I really like the book so far.

*jumps in late*

@hope I agree! That name is perfect

Great job @bluejay! Unfortunately, I didn’t get anywhere near that amount. 😛 But I’m trying to write a song for my WIP, so it’s a little harder. And no problem! It’s always fun to write with someone -even if they’re 9,000 miles away! 😉 Haha!

@bluejay Sure. That’s fine with me 🙂

@bluejay I’ll write with ya! 😉 …How about an hour?

Ooh, I want to read the rest! Let me read the rest! This is a really great start to your story! I loved it! Seriously. Everything Kate said. 😀 The humor is fantastic, the plot sounds like it will be very interesting, and I love your style as well. You are a very talented writer, Hannah. 😉 Keep it up!
Also, it was very interesting to read that…[Read more]

@reaganramm probably prose, characterization, or plotting. Those are what I struggle with the most.

Wow, am I late or what?! *eats cookie* But I’m like most everyone else: I don’t have much to add. But you all have some very good points, I can say that. 😉
@hope, Well I haven’t written an ending of a novel yet (obviously because I’ve never finished one. Duh! 😛 ) but I do like endings/last lines that sorta just sum up the whole book, or else…[Read more]

Hey, welcome @winter-rose!! I play piano too (and violin). What type of fantasy do you read? LOTR? I draw too! Mostly animals. Have you tried acrylic or oil painting? That’s always fun. Oh cool! Another archer! 😉 I have a compound bow, but I’ve always wanted to try a recurve bow. Someday I’d really like to try bow hunting.
Again, welcome! Glad…[Read more]

I got it. Sounds great!

@bluejay that sounds really interesting… now I’ll have to read it!

@his-instrument Welcome!!! It’s always great to see new people join the bestistest place on the internet! (saying that never gets old for us…if you hadn’t noticed already 😉 )

Thanks @bluejay! This poem looks great guys 😉

As I read through lots of forums,
A clear thought came to me.
Everyone on this here site
Is all good friends, you see.

With talk of things like dragons,
And how Kate became one,
I laughed and cried and laughed again.
Boy, this place is fun!

And now we all are writing
A special poem here
About how awesome this place is.
We’ll stay all through…
