Santa Clause gets a couple votes every year. It would be a huge constitutional crisis if he ever won.

I think I just discovered who I’m going to vote for.

In all seriousness though, I honestly don’t know. If there’s a reasonably 3rd party candidate, I’ll likely vote for them. Or I might write in someone like Ted Cruz. I’ve one friend who said…[Read more]

@reaganramm That’s hard…characterization, perhaps. Tips on how to create real unique characters, both in depth ones for MCs and also flatter ones for secondary and minor characters.

Yippee! I’ll be going to 9. @hannah-c

I’m starting ten minute early so tag me if you can join me now. 🙂 @daeus @kate-flournoy @hannah-c

@hope
Huh. I guess I’ve never noticed that before. I learn something new every day! 🙂
@christi-eaton
Ha ha ha. That’s great! 😀

@reaganramm Ooo, that’s so hard! I would probably choose a course on characterization, plotting, world-building, or showing vs. telling.

I happen to be one of those ‘finifugal’ folks… (Not that I hate endings, but I dread having to write one) I think what frustrates me most about them, is trying to get everything wrapped up so that the reader finally understands every detail and is left with some interesting poignant memory. I’m glad someone started this thread, because I can…[Read more]

Sorry everyone that it’s taken me so long to reply. My life has just been ever so busy lately. *catches breath*

@andry-grace: Thank you!!! I have heard of Johnny Tremain, and I think I may have read it before. If I remember correctly, it was very good. 🙂 I have a lot of WIP right now, but my main one is a novel I’m currently writing called If…[Read more]

I finally got the book! Can’t wait to start reading it! Sorry it’s taken me so long! :O

@the-happy-bookaholic Yes, we have many political parties and you can vote for any of them. It’s just that only the democrats or republicans ever win (except maybe in a few very small government positions). You can also vote for whoever you want. Santa Clause gets a couple votes every year. It would be a huge constitutional crisis if he ever won. 😉

Wow! Lot’s of good ideas! No consensus yet it sounds like though. Haha!

Awesome job guys!! Thank you so much! I’m compiling the questions and tweaking them to be a bit more eloquent and then I’ll send them off!! 🙂 Y’all rock!!

Dialog for definite. 🙂 My conversations never sound that real. *They sound more like they are in a book rather than really life* 😀

Urgh… yikes, that’s a difficult question. Probably characterization— I don’t struggle with that, but it’s one of those things I feel like I can never study enough of or understand as fully as I should. There’s just so much to learn!
Um… other than that… let’s see… novel structure? Character arcs? (Or would that be in with…[Read more]

Oh boy, I struggle with a lot of little things. Like, writing fluid prose, mastering emotion, getting the sense of timing just right, not being too choppy, picking the right tense, etc.

597. @daeus Not bad, but not great. Feeling pretty down *sick* today, so my brain and fingers where much slower than normal.

@bluejay My dad had to talk to me for about fifteen minutes, but I managed to get 433 words edited – finishing the edits for the chapter I started yesterday.

@daeus I’m here. Talk at nine. 🙂

@kate-flournoy @hannah-c @bluejay I’m going to be editing tonight. I might have to stop half way through, but most likely I’ll be able to go till nine.
