Daeus replied to the topic The extra mile in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 1 month ago
The theme I’m generally getting here is that we need to treat our reader’s with a servant’s heart. I went ahead and wrote on a piece of paper: “I exist to be a servant to my readers as Christ served the apostles,” then hung it up on my wall. Hopefully I’ll actually follow that principle. 😉
One thing I thought of that I…[Read more]

Great ideas, @kate-flournoy. Physical mail would be awesome to get as a reader. The only problem is getting addresses and non-continental shipping.
Alright, @aratrea! This is an official petition that I be allowed to interview Nadine a second time.

Hey all, and anyone who sees this.
Thought I’d let you know I’m taking a week hiatus from the internets–I’m not leaving. I couldn’t dream of that. But anyway, I’ll still be beta-reading so worry not @daeus and @leumeister
I’ll return to the realm of the you lovely Kapeefers next week.
Until then,
Snapper out.

@Daeus for others directly… I think oftentimes it just surprises people when you remember them personally in a sea of other voices. Initiating contact instead of just responding, reviving an old joke, or maybe even remembering their birthday and surprising them. (*gulp* I barely remember my own… 😛 ) In other words letting them know that…[Read more]

This is awesome! The finishing your manuscript ones–all of them. So true! And I love the Aladdin one. People will talk to me, and I’ll have no idea because I’m thinking about characters and plot twists. XD @his-instrument

This is awesome @his-instrument !
I especially love the one where Aladdin is loving his story. 😛 That’s how I feel. And then the one where Loki is like ‘What?’ to the plothole. That’s how I feel. Then especially when I get a new idea. The idea says ‘Hello.’ and I’m like, ‘ah!’ Seriously, that is so awesome!
I must tag people.

Snapper replied to the topic What Villains Would I Use for This Story? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 9 years, 1 month ago
@warrenluther04 @catwing Oh, and I’d be careful using pigeon’s as cat minions because they are afraid of them, not because it’s a bad idea in the least, but because it is vaguely parallel to Bolt, where Mittens the cat uses the pigeons to get her food and she doesn’t eat them in turn. Have either of you seen that?

@catwing Agh! I remember that story with the kitty! I read that story so much. Well, actually, I mainly just looked at the pictures, but anywho. Yes. I remember that one. 😛

Okay, so I promise I’m not just trying to plug my blog. 🙂
Here’s a link to a recent GIF slideshow I posted on my blog. The reason I’m sharing it here is because I put it together for writers. And non-writers don’t really get it. https://hisinstrumentblog.wordpress.com/2017/08/12/the-life-of-a-writer-as-told-by-disney-characters/

Hannah R. replied to the topic The extra mile in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 1 month ago
@daeus I discovered that for me, sometimes “go the extra mile” means “work extra hard to make sure my writing is the best it can possibly be.” To take the extra time to do another edit. To study more about craft. To be willing to learn. That’s really hard for me, because I don’t like to work on one project for very long. 🙂 But it’s been so worth it!

Hannah R. replied to the topic Hello! in the forum Start HERE 9 years, 1 month ago
@salome01w4g and @catwing, there may be a few more Aussies than there are Hannahs. Maybe we should call in support from all the Sarahs and Emilys in the world, too. 🙂 Are you both from the U.S.? Hannah was the name of the year in the U.S. the year I was born. Which is funny, because one of the reasons my mom chose my name is that she thought she…[Read more]

Good to know! Thanks for the heads up! (I’ve been thinking about leaving the internet for a week or two myself :D) Enjoy your time away! 😀 😛
Right-oh. Have a good hiatus! 😀 Looking forward to getting your beta-reading back! ^_^
See ya soon.
Cya @dragon-snapper! Have fun. 🙂
Fare thee well, @dragon-snapper! *waves* Enjoy your break!
Good bye friendly dragon! My brother shall miss thine GIFs. Though you will return… Who will melt chairs in @dragon-snapper ‘s absence?
Wow, you’re putting me to shame. When I want to a take a hiatus, I just… randomly disappear for a week. *salutes* Farewell, @dragon-snapper, until we meet again. *mouth stretches into a maniacal smile as she peers at gifs* I look forward to it.
I’ll keep the chairs safe in your absence. 😉
Haha! I’m back, Kingdom Pen!
Now, where are those chairs?…
@daeus @kate-flournoy @that_writer_Girl_99 @ethryndal @catwing @shannon @daughteroftheking @salome01w4g @winter-rose @leumeister @
Oops, sorry. *Flips switch and holographic chairs render around the room.*
There you go. 🙂 😛
YAY! Welcome back to the Kingdom! *roars of dragonish delight*
*hides my chair* Welcome back!! *hands you the world’s biggest bowl of ice cream*
yipee!!!! Welcome back,* hands you a pair of eclipse glasses* 😀 ;P
*flies in through the window that is always there* Yay! My chair is all scratched up *cough* from me *cough* I can finally get a new one. *points to a chair that is falling apart* Your welcome present!
@dragon-snapper There we go. Now you must burn my old chair for my forgetting to tag you. *grins* I’m a genius.
@leumeister Aha! *melts all the simulated chairs*
@catwing *melts the real chair* Ahahaa!
@salome01w4g *takes glasses and puts them on over other pair of glasses* Thankee kindly.
@daughteroftheking I see you tried to distract me from your chair with ice cream…I’ll take the ice cream.
@shannon *bows* It was refreshing. 🙂
*hops into new chair that has now spawned* Thanks @dragon-snapper . *starts to shred the new chair*
*gives you a whole posse of chairs*
