And yes, @Kina-Lamb, this—

I think sometimes when I think “introvert,” I think of people that don’t talk except inside their heads and to themselves, and blush whenever you look at them or talk to them because they’re so nervous. But that isn’t the case usually. Am I right introverts?

@That_Writer_Girl_99 yes ma’am. You do. *thumbs up* Good work.
The human intuition is a marvelous thing. 😉 A lot of the learning associated with writing, in my experience, is just learning the names of things your intuition already understands.
I know EXACTLY what you mean with the utensil metaphor— great way to describe it! lol

Signing off as well. I wrote 1767.

How difficult is rewriting? Especially for an 80,000/100,000 word book? What advice do you all have?

Never have I ever even attempted to rewrite anything that long, but here’s my two cents anyway.

Rewriting is exhausting–physically and emotionally. After all, the reason we rewrite is to make our work better, right? It’s…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper if you’re in this much of a quandary, experiment. I’ve only ever done third person and I love it and I don’t think that’ll change, but if you feel like you need to switch, try it for a chapter or two. See if you like it. If it isn’t quality, you’ll only have spent a little time to solve a quandary that could have sabotaged your…[Read more]

@ethryndal @daeus @kate-flournoy @anyone else who’s done the whole rewriting thing.
So…I’m having a hard time deciding this. Writing in third person is really tough for me, and this favoritism thing might be a bit easier if I were actually writing from the POV of the introverts head. As I’m writing, I don’t like any of it. But I go onward.…[Read more]

Wow. Congrats and congrats again.

I’m toying with the idea of re-writing my WIP’s prologue. While incessantly re-reading everything Kate and I have discussed on my novel excerpt page.

@daeus How’s things?

@daues How’s things?

I am too. *throws schoolwork aside* @daeus @dragon-snapper @graciegirl

Excellent point @dragon-snapper

@that_writer_girl_99 Well, when there’s only one Dragon Snapper, you sometimes wonder what else there is to be afraid of. 😛
@graciegirl Yes, it’s just me. I won’t melt you. 😉

That was rather anticlimactic @dragon-snapper

@graciegirl @that_writer_girl_99 *flies in* Everyone, look out, it’s a dragon!

*glaces around for the dragon*
Oh wait, it’s just me. 😛
