@hope Yeshhhh… it’s going to be interesting. 😛 The goal is to cut it down to below a hundred by the time I’m done rewriting, but who knows if that’ll pan out.

And I thought rewriting my novella took a while. Wow!

@Daeus wish me luck. You don’t get it until I’m done… 😉

Ooh yes… this happened to me with a minor character @vanna.
I literally had zero inkling he existed when I started the book— then I realized I’d need someone to fill the role of a judge, and when I walked in on his first scene he blew me away. He’s one of the deepest, subtlest, most complex characters in the story, and I didn’t even know he…[Read more]

Oh— and HUZZAH!!!!!!

Wow, this is the fastest growing topic I’ve seen for some time! 😛 Three pages already!

@vanna I write fantasy, and in the future sci-fi. 🙂 I also do more of the medieval stuff, and this is really weird but I’m also working on drawing setting inspiration from cultures besides Medieval Europe! What a small world it is!
Let’s see, as of right now…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you imagine your characters in a scene, subconsciously copy their facial expression, and then have your family ask why you’re angry, sad, ect.

This. So. Much. This. @Vanna I do that when I’m reading, too. 😀

You know you’re a writer when you read about a move in a fight scene, think it might be unrealistic, and…[Read more]

@Daeus: Sadly, I don’t own the book – but now I’m motivated to grab it off the library bookshelf, carry it home in triumph, grab a cup of tea and read till midnight.

@bluejay: Is your profile pic Kara Killmer from Beyond the Mask? *squeals* I love that movie and her!

@hannah-olsen Same here. I really want to read it again to analyze all the masterful writing techniques and also just to say hi to old Edmond again. Maybe we could do a book club on it.

@andry_grace: Thank you!! 🙂 Yours is awesome too!

@bluejay Oh, that’s a good idea. Maybe I won’t have to write the ballad after all.

@Daeus: I thank you… *dramatic curtsy* It was one of the few books that actually made me cry while reading. *sigh* It’s been years since I’ve read it. Too long… I’m started to crave it again. 🙂

@vanna *shoves ear plugs into ears and yells over all the happy huzzahing* “Hello! Welcome to Kingdom Pen Forum!” *realizes no one is shouting huzzah anymore* 🙂
Have you finished writing a book as of yet?
I’ve only read the first book in Goldstone series. Heartless I believe it’s called. Which is your favorite in the series?
Glad to have you here!

@kate-flournoy 108 chapters left to go? Oh dear… 😉 And I thought correcting fifty some chapters took awhile.

You know you’re a writer when you lay in bed at night and can’t decide if you want to mull over a retelling of Robin Hood for a family movie, or a retelling of a fairy tale for your novella…

Yes…I think it’s half an hour and then you can’t edit the post anymore. I’m not sure why it’s like that, but it is.

You know you’re a writer when your sister asks you for a quick hug and you tease her by saying (as the hug continues) “This isn’t a quick hug, this a medium hug. Oh now it’s a long hug, now it’s a novel hug.” 🙂

@faithdk Alright. I’ll fit her in there somewhere. 🙂
