Random social stranger at a random social function: “Oh, you write books? Cool! What’s your book about?”

Me, randomly trying to function socially: *stilted grin and shivering, nervous laugh* “Here, let me… let me…” *digs out notebook with a triumphant flourish* “I wrote it down!”

@Dragon-snapper

@Dragon-Snapper ugh I am so sorry. I have no idea why it does that to you. *offers you conciliatory chocolate*

Yeah… trying to pitch your book on the spur of the moment is torture. Especially if the person is just trying to make conversation and you can tell they really don’t care. And then you walk away from the encounter and think of a dozen…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  my most memorable and embarrassing writerly moment will always be the time I had to explain to the chiropractor that my hip was out of place because I slipped on our hardwood floor choreographing a fight scene… he was very nice about it, but the startled, slightly skeptical sidelong look he gave me, and the funny little laugh,…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 Yes, it does! Hmm, I will check it out after I get off work… Thanks for the comments and encouragement. =)

@valtmy You’re a world traveler! That’s cool. 😀 What were you studying in London?

What’s the story behind your username?

@sleepwalkingmk  LOL.  Those are some good ones.

@dragon-snapper  That second one is way too true for me…

You know you’re a writer when the most frustrating thing in the world is thinking up an awesome story idea during the night—and completely forgetting it the next morning.  *rips out hair*

@dekreel @skredder @daughteroftheking @writers

I have been fighting valiantly to finish my Latin translation and have prevailed!  Now I am writing…care to join me?

You know you’re a writer when you are playing out a scene in your mind and start mumbling your characters’ conversation in the shower.

😉

@pickupyourpenandwrite Just a note of encouragement. Rewriting/doing major revisions may be a tough process, but it will teach you A TON and leave you feeling a much more confident writer afterward.

@daughteroftheking  That’s awesome!

Oops, looks like last time I posted, I was logged in as my little sister, who does happen to be quite handy with computers and such. 😛 Anyway, here we go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OKBGO8SRoMDNrtyJC-8U2-XteHiy4aXa/view?usp=sharing Thanks for the help everyone! I allowed editing… just curious, will the edits show up in  a different color…[Read more]

Okay, so I have decided on a name.  *drumroll*

I thought about what you said, Hannah, so I just changed the spelling slightly to avoid any pronunciation errors.  Thank you all for your input!

@dragon-snapper  Ohhh, very nice indeedly.

Okay, here is a google drive link. Hopefully this works better lol btw, we are in the process of changing the title, so any ideas on that would be helpful as well…https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/my-drive
