@mariposa XD Now I have a combination of “Shiny” “Rumor Weed” “Cheeseburger” “The Pirates who don’t do anything” and “Hairbrush” stuck in my head.

Not cool.

I’M A RUMOR WEED! (also stuck in my head now)

I don’t believe I’ve ever officially said hi to you… so, hi @jenwriter17

Hey there @valtmy! Welcome to KP!

Half of this thread is everyone discussing their favorite anime and I’m in love…

I don’t watch much anime, mostly cause I don’t know any good ones. Any favorites?

Welcome, @valtmy! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet. Sounds like you’ve done a bit of traveling. Where else have you lived?

@ingridrd AGH! I know, so many forgotten ideas. It’s torture, really.

@sleepwalkingMK “They’re writers.” XD Yes, I’ve had to do that once. Somebody was asking someone else a whole lot of questions, and I just looked at him and said, “We’re writers.”

“Aahhhh…”

@ingridrd *absent whistling*

You know you’re a writer when you haven’t written in your novel for a few days, and your walking around the house, saying, “Boy, I miss ___”

@mariposa Oohhh… I wish to read this novel.

Here’s one I just made for a character in the third book of my trilogy. He’s eight.

I didn’t start out using chapter breaks, but as I started working on more complicated plots, using chapter breaks became necessary. When you get into writing, there’s a kind of flow to it, and you get a feel for where to end. Even if you don’t hit a consistent word count, it’s only the first draft, so don’t worry.

Thanks! @graciegirl. It’s exciting, isn’t it! 😛 😉 😀 🙂

Oh, @the-real-kapeefer is back? I almost thought you forgot about the forum, Daniel. *grins*

HIIMAKAPEEFER!

@itisastarrynight Um, kind of a military-style uniform. I don’t have specific colors for it, sorry.

You know you’re a writer when you’re explaining why you’re frustrated with one of your characters to someone and you say “they just aren’t cooperating”, only to have them say “you know they’re not real, right?”

*facepalm*
