Aye aye Captain, that’s right smart there.

I do visualize my scenes, but unfortunately, I often fail to express that visual like I should. Thankfully though, like I said, I’m starting to pull out of that and it seems to be making my writing much better. It’s nice that I’m realizing this before any publication. Hopefully, when I go…[Read more]

You have no idea how hard that made me laugh, @Anna-Brie. 😀

Ah, this is a great topic, @Daeus. I know EXACTLY what you’re talking about— only I never had to go through the transition you’re going through now. My books always started as movies in my head— a visual reference to set down on paper, and I wrote it as I saw it, not as I thought it ‘ought to be written’, if you know what I mean.

I don’t…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy: Now THAT would be something. 😛

@Daeus: Thanks so much for sharing this! I’ve never really thought about it before, but the example you gave makes a lot of sense. The second example really sucks you into the story because you feel like you’re a part of the story. Like I said, I’ve never really thought about that before. I’ll have to look out for “textbook writing” in my…[Read more]

So cute, @sarah-h. Tell your little brother ‘well done.’

@kate-flournoy That top one actually sounds like the plot of Eight Cousins to an extent. XD

A super cheerful, perky character who swooshes around in a long, evil-looking, black hooded cape.

A merry, cheerful old uncle who wins the heart of his glum, sour, peevish young niece.

And a fantasy uncle (brother to the king and uncle to the prince) who is NOT a usurper. 😛

Ooh… that would be something @Joy-Schmidt. 😀

@kate-flournoy Maybe both together… XD

@bluejay I’d love to write to you. I’ll give Kelly my email address for you.

Evil kittens.

Self-knitting yarn of doom (says my brother)

@daeus Thanks! 🙂

Good thoughts, everyone. 🙂

Oh @writefury those last two—! Oh man, you need to write those. That would be beyond hilarious.

I’m actually in the process of writing out the gentle giant knight and action-girl princess story I had the idea for on here. 😛 Thanks for starting it up, @hope!

A suave young garbageman
An eco-friendly villain who rides his bike everywhere and recycles his poison receptacles.

I read it and it was really good.

“Ah! Mommy, there’s the panda! I love him so much!”
Yet another child’s squeal reached my ears and I glanced up from my bamboo munching to the adoring crowd that seemed to always be crowded to near my enclosure.
I sighed and lumbered about halfway to them before sitting back down to eat the rest of my snack.
“Wow!” observed a nearby zookeeper.…[Read more]
