@emily-voeller Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! You + I have bluegrass loving-ness in common! Plus I play the piano and I just got a violin, though I don’t play it yet because I haven’t put the stickers on it. I also play the mandolin! You should definitely play the mandolin because it’ll be very easy to learn if you know the…[Read more]

I already have a griffin in my story that the main characters ride. This creature is going to be a fierce predator. Thank you for the suggestion though! Griffins should become cool again.

@daeus

As to your weakness—let’s just say a “little birdy” told me… *evil laughter*
I’ve never thought how most other people don’t make the d…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm Ah! How did you know that old English is my weakness?

I think your big help here is that most people don’t equate dinosaurs with dragons. If they do, well, good for them. They probably aren’t going to have a problem with your fantasy creature.

@WarrioroftheRealm I just might. 😛

Ahh… yes. Then I definitely think fur elements could help. Does it have fur on its claws? Sort of a half griffon, half dragon, half bird thing?

@kate-flournoy

The Great Platypus of Dragonkind…
If you ever write this into one of your books be sure to let me know! 🙂

My main concern was that the bird/lizard sort of mashup would hint at dinosaur to bird “evolution”. Maybe if I add some fur elements it would help…

Where art thou?

Heyyyyy! A fellow Texan! I live in Ohio now, but I was born in East Texas. Minus the scorpions and rattlesnakes and copperheads and cottonmouths and mosquitoes and humidity and fire ants, it’s a really cool place. 😛

Welcome to KP, @Shannon. 😀

@ClaireC looks like you’ve got good help here. 😉 *thumbs up* I’d offer, but I’ve got several projects already now and I promised myself no more.
You’re in good hands though. *wink*

@DelightinLife welp, if that was at all helpful I’m glad. 😛 I feel like there’s got to be a way for you to accomplish what you want, I just don’t know if I have enough knowledge of your world to point you to it.
Glad I could at least listen, though. 😉

As for emojis… I actually don’t know about that one. I can only do basic ones.

*yells* @GRA…[Read more]

Hi @shannon,

I live in Ohio and love it, but I do really like Texas as well. Well, the green parts, that is.

@that_writer_girl_99 Haha nope not annoyed at all.
@holly_nelson_gray

Well as a native Southern Californian I can tell you that it’s not infrequent to find a lot of surfers by the beach. But I live near Huntington Beach and there are quite a few there. My brother surfs, and my youth pastor, and quite a few of my friends, I’ve been wanting to…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I have been summoned. May I be of assistance?

@DelightinLife wow… *scratches head* Uhh… well, this is properly enormous. 😛
A few possibilities of what could happen to make it exciting… what if he runs into someone he knew in his former life and has to face old sins or maybe just decisions that clash with how he’s living now? How major is this ENTP guy in the story? How important will…[Read more]

@DelightinLife my pleasure! What can I do to help?

*streaks into the room and crashes against the far wall, leaving claw marks over the paper as she slides to the ground with a screech*
MY PSYCHOLOGY SENSES ARE TINGLING. I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED.

XD

Sorry. Couldn’t resist a dramatic entrance. 😉

Hmmm… Well, if you can push him a little closer to the ENTP side of things, you have the perfect…[Read more]

@DaughteroftheKing Ah, I see! Songs help me get unstuck all the time too. 😀

@that_writer_girl_99

Well, I can say that after talking to a few people, having a blog is really important to building your platform. So I definitely recommend you do the thing.

Now, as for what to write, I’m not really sure. You have to make it your own and write about what you want to write about most, because otherwise, you could lose your…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I just remembered something to add to that list of things about Daeus. I don’t know if anyone on here knows this or not, but he was born in Japan – he doesn’t speak Japanese so don’t ask him to. 😀

@rjk Thanks! It’s a fairly long story which involves my oldest brother, Daeus, being born in Japan (yes, it’s true.) @daeus, do we grow raspberries?

@that_writer_girl_99

That’s great! I would offer two pieces of advice.

1. Write about stuff you’re passionate about. This will keep you writing and attract like minded people.
2. Develop a distinctive voice. Half of blogging is offering important content, but the whole other fifty percent is your voice. This is why I follow @ethryndal‘s blog,…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 a blog is a good idea for anyone who wants to get published. It’s not the only way to do it, but it’s a very good way and well-tested.

I don’t have much experience to draw from yet (mine still isn’t active) but I would say your schedule sounds very plausible and to go for it.

The one piece of advice I have to offer is…[Read more]
