@jessi-rae  I’d like to read your story sometime!  And you’re welcome!  😉

@jessi-rae  Well…I found time.

And a little closer…

This look anything like her??

@jessi-rae  I might attempt her, if I find some time today.  🙂

@skredder  Aaannnnd now I have to go…ugh.  The story of my life.  Talk to you later!

@aislinn-mollisong and @skredder

If you two are still here, I have a couple minutes to spare.  🙂  Also doing some worldbuilding.

@warrenluther04 Posting fan fiction is fine so long as you label it fan fiction.

@rochellaine

Believe it or not, it’s for a medieval fantasy in a territory similar in language to norse/viking culture.

@dragon-snapper

I like Caspin root!

@emma-flournoy Sure. You can share Mallory’s doc if you want. 🙂

@mariposa  You, my dear, astonish me!!!  That is…wow.

@itisastarrynight I think one big thing that makes flashbacks seem cheesy is when the chapter before the flashback ends with something like, “he remembered the time thirteen years ago when blakedy blank blank…” If you can avoid that, it should really help.

@overcomer Great. 😀

Here’s a doc for you. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BIHK8v-ag07-tPraj6QWrbf_BVN2P_PjySIw87Ljfyg/edit?usp=sharing

@rochellaine  Great idea!!!  I have a few…

Girls: Lenna, Mern, Andraya

Boys: Den, Boren, Remiro (rem-EAR-oh)

Kinda weird, but…*shrugs*.

@skredder  *starts chanting* Write it, write it, write it, write it…!  This has the makings of a brilliant story.  🙂

@gh24682468999 I don’t recommend making your story short just to write a short story. Make the story as long as it should be. A story should be short when the concept, plot, etc are simple enough that a short story is all that is needed; a story should be long when the concept, plot, etc need more room to flourish.

Setting is important for any…[Read more]

@Sam-Kowal I know! Crazy. I love it. 😛

@jane-maree Yes, well, certainly there can be exceptions, but that’s the general trend. With KP, I know that our emails were read more when we removed all images from them except the picture prompts. That’s with people telling us they liked the pictures in the emails.

I’d recommend split testing it if you’re unsure. Just send out some with images…[Read more]

@epicaddie2  Oh you poor thing…praying!

@aella Yeah, definitely speak in his terms. Don’t try to make him a writer or treat him like a writer, because that’s probably not where his focus should be. He won’t understand the way you think, so you have to understand the way he thinks which is. It doesn’t matter what you value about writing, find what he values and show him whatever ways…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien @mariposa Actually, statistics show that people are far more likely to read an email that has just text. People say they like pictures, but when it actually comes down to it, they distrust emails with pictures in them. Of course, it depends on your niche, but I think it’s most likely your audience will pay more attention to you…[Read more]
