Snapper replied to the topic Quick Announcement in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 11 months ago
Well, for me, it’s price… I don’t have a job yet and there are other things I need to be able to pay for…
But also, it’s mainly that you’ve already helped me so much with show don’t tell just by working with me on my book. 😛 So… there’s not much demand on the Snapper side of things. (Unless you were to beta-read all my books. Lol)

@ingridrd Thanks!
@daughteroftheking Excellent. *evil chuckle* If you want to see more collages, or learn more about the story, I’ll be posting a lot about it starting on the first Friday of March and throughout the Fridays of March on my blog. (And that sounded a lot like advertising. Lol) 😛@jenwriter17 The funny part is that it fits his…[Read more]

Well hello there! It’s nice to meet you @christianna-hellwig
Admittedly, I haven’t much advice to give, because I haven’t “done much”, as you put it in your post. I’m eighteen, but I’m still learning how to do things like finish a draft, create characters, create (and write) a solid theme. I like learning. Makes places like KP all the more…[Read more]

But if you just want to write for fun, you can basically do whatever you want :). And whether you intend to build an audience or not, the best tone to use is yours. Don’t try to be anyone else, like DG said.
I can’t even begin to tell you how important this is @catwing! Don’t forget it. 😉

Elizabeth replied to the topic What's the best book you've read recently? in the forum Book Discussions 6 years, 11 months ago
I can’t stop thinking about this book I read a few weeks ago.
<i>Scythe, </i>by Neal Shusterman. I’m not gonna give any spoilers plot-wise, but suffice it to say that this book has amazing worldbuilding, the character development is really well done, and the overall concept of the book isn’t at all what I expected it to be–it’s better.
This…[Read more]

Yep, Slytherin and proud. 😉
Okay, so it sounds like you’ve got all your plot events in order, but what I haven’t heard you mention are the characters. What motivates the characters to go through with this? What are they trying to learn? Have you thought about that at all?

@rochellaine XD Yep! It’s quite amusing, although I have a strange case of internet paranoia, so I probably won’t confess anything. 😉 😛 If you know what I mean…
@seekjustice No, thanks for rambling. That is actually really helpful!
And I think I’m going to sign out now. I wrote 797 to my novel, and a beginning of a blog post. Now… I have…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well that’s good. XD I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it so far.
Soo… do you make comments on your novel before editing it? (I’m going to edit a book soon and it will technically be my first time editing a novel by myself on a computer. Yay…)
@rochellaine HI! Ooh, western. I’ve considered doing one of those before.

Snapper replied to the topic Writer's Corner #13 in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 11 months ago
@seekjustice Yessss… 😀 So it makes sense why I’m listening to a slow love song by Andre Bocelli? ? No…. Haha!
XD I’m sure you can do it. And if not, I’m also sure we ‘negotiate.’ 😉

I understood most of the synopsis, but the last half of it was a bit choppy, could you explain it in a bit more detail?
I love your profile picture, by the way–though the Slytherin house symbol would look much better. 😉 @warrenluther04

I keep flip-flopping between loving Ike to pieces, and wanting to smack him upside the head with his own book.
Oh goodness, yes that is so true!!! XD XD XD @dekreel @aislinn-mollisong Ike is awesome. XD *hits him with a book* *says she’s sorry for all the other terrible things that happen to him* *another book*

Hullo peeps, I have a message from our historic forum doctor, @BlueJay, whom many of you remember but I can’t remember everyone who remembers her plus I’m only allowed ten tags so feel free to tag other people if you want. 😉
I email with her sometimes, hence the message. She says to tell you the forum doctor’s on vacation, and enjoying the hot…[Read more] - Load More
Also, @BlueJay said she’s been having a deficit of good ideas for writing lately, and if any of you have any spare good ideas she’d love them. She still gets emails when she’s tagged. Anything’s welcome, but especially ones more on the cute short story side of things. So just in case. 😉
Thanks for tagging me, Emma. How is she doing? I think about her sometimes (and wonder if she ever got my edits for her Golden Conch story?). Tell her hi for me! *waves*
Oh, you edited The Golden Conch too? I didn’t know that. That’s a fun one. 😀 I can ask her if she ever got the edits.
Yeah, I couldn’t remember for sure if you were around when she was but I was pretty sure. 😉
She’s doing well, as far as I know… She recently won best film/best actress awards for a short film she made for a film festival, so…[Read more]
Noice! Do you know if she’ll be coming back to Kingdom Pen sometime?
I don’t know. She said she’d love to sometime, but I don’t really know much about it. We can hope. 😉
Yep. 🙂
Here, her reply to you:
‘ I think so, but I will have to check. I’m still working on it, so if you want to send them through again, I’ll probably still use them. ‘
Okay, I will probably do that. 😉
@emma-flournoy BlueJay is Australian?! Huh! I didn’t know that…
Anyway, now that I know that she still gets emails… Can I pass a message to her?
Hiya, @bluejay! I’m Dekreel! 😀 We haven’t met yet, but I am aware of the circumstances, so oddly enough, I miss you! XD So, when you return, expect a greeting from me like we’d always known each…[Read more]
Thanks Dekreel. *grins* I’m sure she’s loving your enthusiastic response. Thanks for the story ideas too. 😉 I don’t know what she thinks of any of them, but if she says anything about ’em I’ll pass it on. 😉
BlueJay says ‘can’t wait until I get to meet you properly. ‘
😀
Oh, that’s great @emma-flounoy! She was the first person to welcome me, and one of the best friends I’ve ever had here. Please say hi from me, and that I miss her. 🙂 Also I’m glad she’s enjoying the hot weather, ’cause I’m not. 😛
@emma-flournoy.
Heh, I don’t enjoy hot weather either. XD Happily for us it won’t be Summer for quite a bit yet over here.
I’ll definitely tell her. 😀
Thanks, girl. 😉 @emma-flournoy
She says: ‘ I’m missing you too. I’d be happy to email with you if you want. ‘ 😉
Oh good! We were going to exchange emails when she was here, but my mum was ‘thinking about it’ and we missed the opportunitiy. I’ll ask her again. 🙂 @bluejay @emma-flournoy
Great!
Sure thing, I will. 😀 Thanks.
@BLUEJAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesssss, you will get this message! I MISS YOU, girl! It’s hard being substitute doctor around here, especially since there’s so much ice cream going around.
Uh, writing ideas. Right. Do something about puppies. Maybe a man who’s deaf with a dog assistant. From the dog point of view?
Or a story about a…[Read more]
Woah. Um, @bluejay, I think @dragon-snapper just gave you the highest compliment possible for her to give.
An unmelted chair, AND phone, AND chocolate! Impressive!
Yeah, impressive. XD O.K., her message to you, Snapper:
@dragon-snapper *sinks gratefully into chair and types message on phone while eating chocolate* it’s a good life.
I really like the idea about the guide dog from it’s perspective.
I shall have to think about the pizza idea for a bit. 🙂
@Winter-Rose From BlueJay: ‘I like your ideas. Very cute. ‘
Aww, I was just thinking about her the other day. She was the first one who welcomed me when I came on here as a scared little elfling, and it was the warmest greeting ever. Say hello for me. We miss her.
I shall indeed.
