@rochellaine Hey, hey, heyyyy! (And yes, I did notice. *smirks*)
Yes, I… have to admit I almost did desert it. But I’m nostalgic, and loyal to KP, and NOTHING CAN TEAR ME AWAY.
Yes, I just read the conversation, and Kaya’s story (but not Jen’s… thing. I couldn’t log in to see it, so I have no idea what it is. 🙁 ). It almost made me cry.…[Read more]

Warning: This is a deep post.
Hi, guys! I have a couple kind of major prayer requests.
I am in a similar situation as @salome01w4g (Hannah), where I’m not sure I’m cut out to be an all-out writer. And seeing how devoted people are here, and at Story Embers, to writing novels, I have been considering stepping back a little bit.
Over my hiatus, I…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 First of all, I’m praying. I know that feeling all too well.
Secondly, listen to this song. It should help. 😉

‘Ello, Kapeefers, Emberites, Writers! I’m back from a one-and-a-half-month hiatus.
At this point, most of you are probably at Story Embers, but I thought I’d drop in here and say I’m BACK! Sort of. Maybe. Depends on the workload.
Anyway, if you’re relatively new, and we haven’t met, talk to me!! I’d love to meet you! 😉
And if you’re not new,…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira The Compendium is the site I started to store all of the Kapeefer Literature. Rochellaine asked me to add Kaya’s story snippet to it.

@rochellaine @jenwriter17 @kaya-young @skredder @ariel-ashira and everyone else
I didn’t realize there was still anyone on here! I might have been a little less “traitorous” if I’d known.
Yes, I can definetely add that to the Compendium. 🙂
Okay, really, guys, you’re making me feel bad for abandoning the Kingdom. Maybe I’ll check in every once…[Read more]

I understand that feeling. It’s so easy for us writers to become besotted, isn’t it? 😉
I guess the way I love my characters stems from my desire to maintain objectivity in my writing. As evil overlordish as this sounds, my characters are, ultimately, tools. Since I personally know so much about my characters, it is easy for me to…[Read more]

Sorry for vanishing again but that’s what happens when I write in the dead of the night. Hope you enjoyed yourself watching Newsies! I’ll put my answers to your questions here so that you can see them when you return.
If you are finding your bridge sections boring, chances are your readers will as well. Reconsider the necessity of…[Read more]

First rule is that the infodump should be relevant to whatever your character is currently doing I guess.
I suppose I have it easy because I’m writing a parody. That means I can narrate in the driest and most cynical tone possible so that the infodump can hopefully at least be funny.
But what I think works best in most cases is if…[Read more]

I am working on my WIP, trying to make this passage of necessary infodump interesting… 😑

I am on a little island called Singapore. I think I am exactly 12 hours ahead of you so your day is my night. Literally.

Many apologies for disappearing yesterday. It was past four for me so I fell asleep 😛
I’ll be here for a while now though.

Methinks you should be writing this WIP for you mayhap are better than me.
Here’s some encouragement for you and Chara:
The writer’s pen touched the inchoate page by end of pointed nib,
And, starting with that first drop of ink, brought her to glory from the crib.______ By valtmy, who is reconsidering her decision to insert…[Read more]

I have been slaving on mine own WIP. ‘Tis a trying journey.
(Just spent a day trying to write deliberately bad poetry because said WIP is a romance novel parody.)

valtmy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #16 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
I’m on now.

valtmy replied to the topic PRAYER REQUESTS #2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
Yep I’ll have more time for writing now! I plan to put up the first part of my WIP for review once I get through some rather troublesome scenes… *glares at the big blank space in the middle of my chapter*

@skredder @ariel-ashira @rochellaine @catwing
Good news: My project and exams are over now! (Though I am not too sure how well I did 🤣)
Thanks for the prayers! 😀

Oops sorry. I put away the file and closed the link for this project because I wanted to keep my focus on my WIP (which I’m thinking of getting some reviews for as well). But I’ll still like to know your thoughts this! The link should be working now. Thanks!
