Earth to @kate-flournoy. Are you writing?

@graciegirl Glad I could help. Villains can be so much fun, once they fall in place.

@graciegirl One thing to remember is that characters (and people) aren’t always logical. From an outside perspective, one can stand back and shake their head at a character and wonder what they are thinking and why they don’t just get it. But inside the character’s head is another matter. Emotions and beliefs twist together and they will sometimes…[Read more]

Sorry, @jane-maree, but I’m actually going to leave early. I realized the part I was editing needs to be restructured and I’m deciding to tackle it tomorrow. Hope your writing goes well.

Yikes, @jane-maree, I think I’ve eaten enough motivational pizza already to get me to the moon.

@that_writer_girl_99 @graciegirl @winger-rose @dragon-snapper @jane-maree Anyone writing tonight? I’m going till 9 or 9:30.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 @winter-rose @graciegirl @dragon-snapper @jess I’m going to be editing for about an hour.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 yep. You do what you need to. 🙂

@Ethryndal NOOOOOOOOO NOW IT’S GONNA BE STUCK WITH ME!!! *runs out of the room clutching her head and screaming*

@GracieGirl dah! I missed this and now everyone’s said everything! *heartbroken sobbing*

Well… a few villains to add to the list… (Besides Kylo Ren. Don’t start me. Really).
Chauvelin, from The Scarlet Pimpernel. Totally evil, but somehow very human, and you gotta admire his dedication even if you hate his cause. He keeps trying even though…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 ehhhh… there is no hard and fast rule. The nearest thing I can give you to a rule is this tip: don’t repeat impressions you’ve already made. (Something else I had to learn the hard way. ;P)
For example, don’t mention in one place that someone is confused, then mention it again later. Writing is all about change. If it hasn’t…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 @ethryndal @f5a8c3e92 Yikes! I forgot to leave the link. Here you go:

Brie steps off the train and casts a wary glance around. That castle looks rather imposing so she sits down on a low wall and pules a book out of her wonderful, expanding bag of stuff. Hopefully someone else will turn up before long so she doesn’t have to face the Dark Lord on her own.

@perfectfifths it sure does!!! Thanks so much! Sorry I made you look it up… I’m actually in the middle of my very first novel (which I have written more than four chapters of :D)! I’m at 28,925 words and 65 pages, which is pretty exciting for me! Maybe I’ll actually finish it this time! 😛

@graciegirl Need I say who my favorite villain is?

I also like Luigi Vampa. His backstory is gripping and tragic, though he’s not technically a villain.

Er…Ooh! I can’t remember the guy’s name, but the villain in K.M.Wieland’s Dreamlander is really good. He’s an excellent foil character to the MC plus a very interesting character for his own…[Read more]

Just curious… how long can a short story be before being considered a mini-book? (or whatever you would call that…) I enjoy writing short stories most and it would probably be good to get an idea of how long or short I should make them!
