Alright everybody, The Sign Of The Four has begun. By now, you should hopefully have read the first two chapters,…[Read more]

@Hope exactly. Have any of you ever just sat down on a whim and started writing in the most sarcastic voice you could manage? Just thrown caution to the winds and hammered out a poem or a story or just any random piece of writing for the fun of seeing how much you could exaggerate? I’ve done that. It’s incredibly easy, somehow. Easier than being…[Read more]

@Daeus competition always helps. 😉

@kate-flournoy Hey, that’s good news. It’s been down for a while. I still write of course, but it’s funner with others.

@Daeus not tonight— other plans, but I am beginning to get back into a semblance of my regular schedule again, so I should be back on this topic frequently not too long from now. 😀

@bluejay @kate-flournoy Either of you writing tonight?

@C-C-Lane It’s great to meet you!
Awesome, I love LOTR, too! I’m reading it for the third time this summer. 🙂

@c-c-lane
Hello! And sorry I’m a little late. 🙂 You sound like an awesome person. I can’t wait to get to know you!!!!! 🙂 Welcome and have fun!

I’ll be writing for the next hourish if anyone else is on… @Daeus, @kate-flournoy

Also, happy 4th of July, everyone! 🙂

@kate-flournoy Similes (or metaphors) should be stated as fact, not comparison. I really like that. There’s been lots of good points made. I’m not thinking of any more right now except, to sum up some of the points… ‘write with confidence’. Leave off the seems and likes and hads and other little words. You know what you are writing. Act like it. 😉

Ah, I’m jealous of you guys who are editing. As for me, I’m still trying out outline. And I need the outline done by the 4th. I’ve a feeling I’ll be figuring out some things as I write this time. 😉

Hahaha! I knew someone would set me straight. 😀

And don’t worry. I wasn’t even considering stopping. I wouldn’t dare. 😛

@Daeus

Will read them tomorrow…probably. 😉

Sticky hands … sticky hands …….. STICKY HANDS!!!!!!!!!!

Yes @kate-flournoy, press on. This is something worth fighting for. It’s actually not much different from writing the first draft. In fact, you’re basically just doing the exact same thing you did before (and enjoyed!) only you’re doing it better.

But here’s the best part. Low points…[Read more]

Ugh… I feel you @overcomer. And I don’t even do much prep work. A very basic outline, nothing else. But especially with editing it seems like it’s much easier to decide what to edit than it is to actually sit down and do it. 😛

I shall be very, very glad when I’m done editing this book. For numerous reasons. Not the least of which is I’ll…[Read more]

Doh! *grimace* Thanks for pointing that out, @Jadamae. I get those two mixed up ALL THE TIME. 😛

That works. I can do that.

Hmm, yes, but that’s to our advantage you see. If they get away with everything, we can get away with balance. I’m aiming hybrid myself — half classical half modern. That’s the one thing about classical authors is that for the most part (Count of Monte Cristo excluded which is the ultimate example) they never get very intense, but oh, they are so…[Read more]
