@jenwriter17 This is the cutest discussion XD All of these stories sound so cool!

My first pieces of creative writing were actually poems (or songs), not stories, actually, starting from around five or six years old. I would include them in my diaries randomly, whenever I thought of them, and I would say something like, “Here’s a poem” as if I…[Read more]

@dekreel Oh my goodness. This just gets better and better! That wordplay on the bumbling henchman was perfect.

@rochellaine I’m so glad you liked it! 😀 Sure, you definitely can 🙂 Thank you!

And here’s a flashback to one of the first gif war that lasted 3 pages.

Kate, why is it that you and I always have to get stuck in gif wars? 😛

@Dragon-snapper yeah. They said it. 😛

@dekreel @skredder I’m signing out now. I really didn’t get that much done. Wrote about 150 words, read some articles about choppy writing, and resolved I need to read more.

@dragon-snapper I’m not really an expert on this, but the thing that’s helped me most is mixing things up — variety.

Variety in sentence length. I like to mix long, short, and medium sentences in a fairly even blend.

Variety in sentence openers. Too many subject openers in a row can get choppy. Try to throw in some -ings,…[Read more]

@dekreel Well, I was going by the military version. Gamma an Epsilon… I think those are Greek? Or some other version.

I don’t know. That’s just what I’m calling them.

@dekreel Alpha – 1st readers of unedited work.
Beta – 2nd readers of 1st edits
Charlie – 3rd readers of 2nd edits.
Delta – 4th readers of 3rd edits.
Echo – 5th readers of 4th edits.
And so forth. I don’t know if this actually exists.

@his-instrument Ah, that’s awesome. 🙂 I’m very proud of you.

@warrenluther04 Lol. *pats shoulder* There there. You’re only ah… two months late.

LOL Yes you can read it. BUT, you’ll probably have to wait a bit until I’m done with this round of edits. Then, I’ll ask for another round of beta-readers (charlie-readers). But I will need that kind of people, so I’ll be sure to tag you if you’re available…[Read more]

@dekreel You’re welcome.
Feel ya there. *concentrates ‘not’*

@skredder I never melt my own chair. Everyone else sits on the floor.

@daeus Thanks! By the way, I went to a writers conference and pitched Prince of the Barbarians, and one of the agents was very interested and asked me to send a synopsis. So we’ll see where that goes. 🙂 I thank you for your encouragement, and for teaching me the importance of body language. It is a lesson I’ve never forgotten. I now own The Em…[Read more]

@dekreel 😀 *melts walking stick* I SHALL WRITE UNASSISTED!
SNAPPER, quit getting distracted.

@kate-flournoy *SLAP* That was for Loki

@dekreel Oh, thanks. Yes, I am friendly to everyone. lol. Perfect timing. 😛

@Daeus

Loki is skeptical.

@dekreel Yep. I’m old now.

@kate-flournoy *mic drop*

@kate-flournoy It’s sap 2.0. It’s the sap of the new age. Loki would drink it.
