@delightinlife This is a tough sort of situation. My suggestion would be to try a few different options to shake it up a bit and see what you like. These are some things that I’ve done:
1: tell the story from a completely different Point of View.
2: Change the genre. (I’ve legit done this to a novel. It started out as Medieval, and I switched it…[Read more]

My favorite line(s), though there were SO MANY GREAT ONES:

Kate stopped outside of the large doors to the war room. Why was it that there was always some sort of hidden force that held people’s hands back from knocking? Her fist was stuck midair, and she thought back to every book she had read before. Great. Now she was living a cliché.

@Dragon-Snapper I’ve been waiting my entire KP life for someone to do something like this. *bestows Elven blessings upon you* SO. FUNNY. Why does it hurt so much?!

Wait, if @Daeus is King, and @Emma-Flournoy is princess, does that make Emma Daeus’s daughter? XD

You should try sharing it in the Young Writers Workshop Facebook group (the one started by Brett Harris). It’s pretty active and has over 500 members. https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheYoungWritersWorkshop/

@Dragon-Snapper I have literally been laughing so hard I can barely read this. HILARIOUS DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE. Owwwww… *wipes eyes* I love this too much. Excellent job with the characterization, though you made me out much braver than I’ll ever be. *splits face grinning**wipes eyes again*
Oh man… this is perfect.

Okay, that has to be the LONGEST post ever. 😛
@daeus @kate-flournoy @kina-lamb @jane-maree @ethryndal @aratrea (this is the frog story) @emma-flournoy @overcomer @audrey-caylin @jess @anyone else looking for entertainment

@audrey-caylin @daeus I’m done for now as well, but I finally finished the story entirely. Yay!

@daeus Hey, that’s great!

@daeus @audrey-caylin I am here to edit.

@Aratrea Arg, I haven’t even been able to think about Theme Mastery for a while because my family’s been in the middle of a really stressful move. Um…okay, I think the 13th or the 14 would work best for me, though I would be able to do the 17th too, if I had to. I have a class on the 17th that’s from 1:30-3, so I probably wouldn’t be able to…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy Thanks. 😀 I didn’t breath for the next three days.

@Graciegirl Kudos for being the first person who’s actually done something like that with a quote they heard on KP! Your calligraphy is gorgeous.

@Emma-Flournoy Well, it’s kind of confusing, because sometimes I got that impression too. I think the main thing is that they didn’t expound on it. The closest they got was holding hands near the end…[Read more]

@Ethryndal Yeah, purty sure. 😀 And it’s still awesome, no matter your age group.
I KNOW! Small world.

@Emma-Flournoy Wait, that was NATIONAL?! *freaks out* Whoa. How did I not know that? Though I was in the second division, which is 12-15 year olds, so I doubt there was as much competition as in the first division, 16-18. Pretty cool Kate entered it too! It’s funny how people’s paths cross sometimes and they don’t even know it.

@PerfectFifths Nice! Is Douglas Bond Australian? I’ve read some of his books.

@Ethryndal @Kate-Flournoy entered that contest too, and went through the same thing (obviously). It was n.e.r.v.e. w.r.a.c.k.i.n.g. I don’t think it was an error, either; not to be badmouthing them of course, but there were updates on their Facebook page or something…[Read more]

@GracieGirl Agreed.

@Ethryndal They didn’t go that route with Jyn and Cassian?! 😮 I got that impression…not as strong as say, Aragorn and Arwen or anything, but I thought for sure they were doing that.

@Ethryndal

Write about a crown that is only allergic to the king’s head.

Write about the Gum Rebellion of ’92 when all the gum boycotted the bottom of the tables.

How do you think up these awesome things?

I seem to have memorized a whole bunch of miniature verses. 😛 All of them in Romans.

Romans 2:15 Who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)

Romans 2:18 And know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being…[Read more]

@GracieGirl hey, that’s really good. I love it, and me being a calligrapher myself I mean that.
And yes… your desk is beautifully clean.
