@delightinlife The first question is easier to answer than the second.

Voice is basically the “tone” you write in. It’s the types of details you include or don’t include, how many of them you include, how much you show or tell, what type of characters you write about, whether you lean towards sarcasm, cuteness, or morbidity, and many other…[Read more]

@Rolena-Hatfield Will do! 😀 *salutes as well*

@Daeus *chokes on her ice cream as a line of raspberry soldiers marches past bedecked with bazookas* *frowns at ice cream* *checks expiration date* *looks up to find raspberry soldiers have disappeared* *shrugs* *goes back to eating ice cream*

(I don’t think I’ve ever used so many asterisks in one…[Read more]

*looks very strict* This new rule will be enforced by little tiny raspberry soldiers carrying bazookas.

@Aratrea That FQ for The Little White Horse sounds much better, and fits the book perfectly. Same and with TCoMC.
Well, I’m definitely seeing a pattern with my answers here. It would seem I need to broaden my FQs.
I shall practice accordingly. 🙂

*rushes in panting* Okay, I’m back! Zikers, that took a lot longer than I thought it would.
@Dragon-Snapper @DaughteroftheKing

Oh, woops. *grins sheepishly* Erm, bye! ;P

I’m still on for anyone else who may join later. 🙂

Oh, I have to go real quick. Be back in 10-15!

@Anyeone-everyone-etc.

I will be on for a length of time yet to be determined (hopefully a long while). I’ll be working on some TM stuffs.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 aha. My mistake. 😉

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I like it! Now I really want to do something similar with a place in one of my stories…

@Daeus Oh my. Yes, I’ll be praying.

@Daeus that’s awful. I will definitely be praying.

I just heard of a recent tragedy with a family here in Ohio. They’re a Christian family named the Stockdales. I don’t know them, but I’ve met them before. Anyway, one of their sons just killed his youngest brother and mother with a shotgun and then tried to take his own life. He’s in the hospital at the moment.

So, pray for them if you…[Read more]

Round of applause to this hilarious work.

@Emily-D Okay, great question, and a very big one.

I’ll try to cover it the best I can. First of all, I cover some techniques for crafting strong characters in my Jumpstart Your Novel, which is free for the time being, so I recommend you go ahead and sign up for that if you haven’t already. Even if you don’t have a lot of time, just go watch the…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 ooooh, I love it! Very nice. It could almost be a poem if you rearranged it. 😀

One thing— plot hole alert. If the Warden created the gene, how old is he for there to be really, really old people in the prison? Or were they not inheritors of the gene, but the first experiments?

@Emily-D wow… what an enormous question. 😛

Lemme take a stab at answering it coherently. First step, I would say, is figuring out the contradictions of your character.
For instance, everyone has something that they want. For the sake of conversation, let’s say I want pie. But then, everyone also has something that they need— and most of…[Read more]

@winter-rost A name? That…is something I really need to work on. 😉

I had a lot of distractions, but I managed to edit 394 words, so, hey! Better than nothing.

(@winter-rose I’m editing my time travel story, and I don’t listen to music while a write unfortunately.)

@dragon-snapper @winter-rose @that_writer_girl_99 I’m here.
