*bows* Greetings, water flinger. May our flinging not be in vain! Huzzah!
Squirrels. Yes, @theliterarycrusader asked me to give a sidekick squirrel in a KP short story series I’m writing. 😛
Have you written any stories with North America birds? I’ve never tried to write a story with animals before though, how does it work? Do…[Read more]

Hey @clairec. I have to confess I don’t usually do any outlining. Unless a one-paragraph synopsis and random thoughts about something I want to happen counts as one. And those are usually written as I go along, though I am planning on trying out the outlining technique.

Word doc is what I use for writing, or a notebook app on my Kindle.

I’ve…[Read more]

Hello @feedingmygoldfish, glad to have you! I hope your stay in the kingdom is both long and literarily prosperous. The animal stories sound amazing. Do you just write about the creatures themselves, or do they ever interact with humans, like in Beatrix Potter? Also, have you read any of Kipling’s work?

@aratrea okay since I won’t be able to get there -because I’m away from home at my cousin’s place and her internet isn’t good enough to load videos- I’ll have to drop in any questions here probably. (I’ll do that later)
But I hope everyone else has fun!! (and feasts on pizza and ice cream and all that fun stuff)

@jess I meant 891 words, not days. 😀 haha!

@jess I’m just signing off. I got 891 days, and the first 20 days covered! 😀 Yay!

@jess hey, good job! I am really pleased with myself right now. I just finished the first two days of the story. 😀 😀 😀 😀 And I’m still writing!

@winter-rose that’s right! Good girl. 😀 Work first, play later. I admire you. Good example. 😀

I have problems with flipping things in the middle. At first, it was my sign hand (which one should be dominant), then I had a little trouble with figuring out my narration, and now it’s my prose. I guess these things come and go with me. But back to the topic, you’re absolutely right, I need to figure that out. @kate-flournoy

@kate-flournoy Thanks. I guess that’s true. Thanks for the advice. I like your new profile picture. Have you read taming of the shrew? Because I have, and it’s making me think of a glorious plot twist! OH YES! I HAVE FOUND MY CAMP NANOWRIMO SUBJECT! WOOP WOOP!!!!!! THANK YOU, KATE, DEAR, SWEET KATE!!! (From real life and Ficitional)

@Cloudy I love her as a villain! 😀 I can think of several ways I would go about making this a short story or novella, but that would be me writing it, which isn’t quite fair. 😉
I would just say play around with the character motivations and relationships and go from there. Go for it. Never know until you try. 🙂

@Cloudy I really like the intent/picture of the poem. The only thing I would suggest is either make it more obviously a rhyming poem or more obviously free verse, because I was a little confused by the alternating patterns.
Otherwise, I really like it. 🙂

@feedingmygoldfish welcome! Did you draw your profile picture? I really like it. 😀 Have you read “Anne Of Green Gables?” You seem like someone who would enjoy her. 😀

1. I don’t outline. Nasty habit, I know. But it just doesn’t seem to work for me yet. I need practice. But the faucet of ideas just doesn’t flow until I start writing. So I can’t help on that topic. SKIP TO THREE

3. I use google docs. And I haven’t tried scrivener so I have no opinion. But I love google docs.

4. I would research…[Read more]
