I’ll be planning/editing/writing for awhile if anyone’s interested. @daeus @ethryndal @anne-of-lothlorien @kate-flournoy @dragon-snapper @winter-rose

@ETHRYNDAL You’ve outdone yourself. I’m laughing so hard I can barely type.

Bye! I’m logging off too. @winter-rose

It’s rather annoying, if I’m being honest. @winter-rose

Again, it’s my fault…I know how I want it to end, I just haven’t sat down and plotted it out. At all. Too busy doing actual writing, I guess–curse my short attention span.

Oh, don’t worry, I have those all the time.

(Listen, Kara, you’re going to have to get out of that cell and into the world at some point)

See? My MC isn’t listening to me. *growls*

Hello, Bethany! Welcome to KP.

If I may ask, what is the significance of your username? @bethanysinkyroses

Well…all of it. I have the characters. I have the villain. I have ideas about how to develop the villain’s character. I have the setting.
What I don’t have is much of a plot. I have ideas, snippets, bits of dialogue…but not a full-blown plot, and I’m getting to the point in my WIP where it’s time to stop introducing the characters and time to…[Read more]

Well, I hesitate to give advice on anything of this sort–someone can always make it sound better–but here goes: Don’t make it easy.
Conflict is good. Conflict propels people forward, generates realistic reactions that create character and give insight into character personality.
Don’t make it easy. Life happens. People are rude. Well-meaning…[Read more]

I know. Kate usually helps me work through these things, but she isn’t on right now, so I sit. And sit. And think. @winter-rose

@Winter-Rose I’m really glad it’s helpful. 😀

It’s my own fault, really. I’ve focused so much on introducing the characters that I’ve forgotten to figure out where I want the plot to go. @winter-rose

@kate-flournoy Are you on?

@kate-flournoy Are you on?

Hello! How’re things on your end? @winter-rose

Ugh. I take back what I said earlier. I’m just brainstorming at the moment. A little stuck, actually.

*taps microphone* Anyone here? I’ll be writing for the next 45 minutes or so. @winter-rose

@ETHRYNDAL remember I wailed on this thread that Thorin didn’t have the Arkenstone with him in the funeral-ish scene? On page 3. But we finished watching BotFA a little bit ago, and HE DID HAVE IT! It was on him; he was sort of holding it. Peter Jackson, I apologize for yelling about that. I was wrong. It was THERE INDEED! This makes me so…[Read more]

Aha, there we go.

Part Two

It was no nowhere in sight. — it says ‘no nowhere’

out you!” My grandpa yelled from the dining room. — ‘My’ = ‘my’

Don’t worry, it get’s worse. — ‘get’s’ = ‘gets’

throwing open it’s doors — ‘it’s’ = ‘its’

My mother want’s me — ‘want’s’ = ‘wants’

No success. I’ll try it in two parts.

@Winter-Rose Aw, thanks. 😀 I am a detail oriented person, so that’s probably the difference. (Likely something in the difference between a Perceiver and a Judger. I’m a most definite J. 😉 )
Here we are.

Part One

“Thanks captain obvious,” She retreated to the fridge once again. — period after ‘ob…

@anne-of-lothlorien Um…or two. 😀
