As representative for the Eastern Coast of the United States of America, I will announce that it is extremely difficult to find out what time it is in Australia, even with the almighty Google. I just like to pretend you guys are awake when I am, because it doesn’t give me a headache. 🙂

Jackets are amazing! I feel going on adventures whenever I’m wearing one.
Sure, I’ll make one on September 22, the day summer officially ends (sadly). It shall be done. *bows and walks away ominously*

Falls my favorite season as well. I love the weather, but its not cold enough to have to wear poofy coats that makes my hair staticky and then it flies everywhere. 🙂
Ooh, I like that idea! Maybe we should make an Awesome Winter Writing Club for those who want to make goals for finishing their books as well.

Whenever I plot a story, I first make a 3 point disaster structure. 1. Beginning–what causes the story to start 2. Middle–the major turning point in the story, like the top of a triangle 3. Resolution–the final battle or the secret revealed.
After I have a general picture of what I want to do, I do it chapter by chapter, with the scenes of the…[Read more]

I remember with my first story I didn’t chapter it at first either, but you’re still getting used to the ropes and stuff! Have fun!
Speaking of which, I’ve got to go now. Hope you understand the writer’s corner better now! @Julia-r

@jess @Julia-r
Yay, Character arcs! Thanks for the links!
I wrote 1056 words in that time, and I reached chapter 19. How about you @Julia-r?

Si! Hasta la vista! @jess @Julia-r

Si! Hasta la vista!

Welcome to the realm of writing, my unicorn friend! @jess Both of you, I’m starting now. @Julia-r

Oh, silly me. It doesn’t have to be for an hour, it can really be for however long you want it. Half an hour sounds coolio with me. Start now? @Julia-r

@Julia-r Ah, you found it! Welcome to the writers’ corner, where writers from all over the world find a time when they write at the exact same time to avoid distraction. So, say I asked you to write for an hour, we would write for an hour then meet back here to touch base, see how many words we wrote and compare. It’s more of an accountability…[Read more]

I love how Tolkien refers to the reader as if he’s actually telling us a story. I also noted how he names some of his places very obvious names: The Hill, The Water, Misty Mountains…
It made me laugh how Tolkien mentioned that Baggins had his toes ‘neatly brushed’. 😀
@bluejay, you’re fine…in all fairness, I’ve not had time to do that much…[Read more]

If you need more, let me know, I’ve got an entire half of a notebook devoted solely to names and their meanings, and more names (no, I promise you I am not kidding)

… Um, @overcomer, I appear to be in the same state that you are. That is so weird… and I meant that in I’ve started school up and stuff. So it’s almost over.
I’ll do it for the seven days of summer we have left. 🙂 My WIP is a fantasy based in a world known as Spondorium. I started it two and a half months ago, almost three, and am on Chapter…[Read more]

I’m in VA as well. I don’t know if you saw the poem I wrote, the Awareness of Grace, but I’m pretty sure it says I live in Virginia. Huh. Figures. 😉
