@kate-flournoy Didn’t I just tell you I was busy being productive?

@joy-schmidt Ahem. Here are three thoughts.

Don’t write because writing’s fun, because it isn’t fun (at least, not in any lighthearted way). Write only because writing is serious.

There is more to a story than what you have planned for it. Write to discover your character’s…[Read more]

Lemme tag some other people here. @Daeus @Dragon-Snapper @DelightinLife @SleepwalkingMK

@seekjustice Yes, there will be a paperback.

@cloudy dude, that is actually really awesome. I’m jealous.

@cloudy I use Faber-Castell art pens, they are really nice and I use them all the time. I need to buy a new black brush pen, however, and might try a couple new brands I basically use whatever I can find but it’s time for me to really invest in some nice tools. I might try regular ink to it brushes and fountains pens. What do you use?…[Read more]

@Joy-Schmidt ohhhh! Well then, you just answered your own question! XD
That’s very possible though.
In which case, I’m afraid it’s probably just a discipline problem. Maybe you should ask yourself why you write— what it is about writing that makes you want to do it. I’ve read your work and I see a lot of potential, but if you write merely for…[Read more]

@Joy-Schmidt hm… I have never actually encountered this exact problem, but I may have an idea of why it’s happening to you.
Based on my *coughs* psychoanalysis, 😛 (yeah, please don’t kill me) you may be killing your creativity by shoving the story over to the logical part of your brain. In my experience, writing is an emotional/intuitive…[Read more]

@ingridrd really cool!

@hanna-c

I usually do CampNaNoWriMo, which is in July. You plan the novel in June, then go all crazy and write it in July. Its a lot easier to fit into a schedule.

@daughteroftheking and @mariposa
Thanks, guys! 🙂

YESSSS!!!! *dances a jig*

I thought this was such a cool idea so I went ahead and made some collages of my own. I really hope this works! *crosses fingers and shuts eyes tight*

@destiny I believe Createspace has articles on how to format using Word. For Scrivener, youtube is the best way to learn.

@destiny Well, you can get books printed from anywhere and then sell them through Amazon, but I assume you’re talking about how to get published through Createspace.

Createspace is an Amazon company that does printing on demand. Somebody orders your book, they print it and ship it. You sit back and enjoy yourself. It’s cool.

So, to self-publish…[Read more]

@livylynn *gawks* if that is indeed your word count, I salute you for being crazier than I am! 😛 I thought my books were ridiculously long. My current WIP, at its ‘final’ second draft stage, was 500,000+ words.

I love beta-reading but unfortunately I can’t take any extra projects right now. I’d not be able to be as thorough as I’d want to.…[Read more]

Wait, @livylynn, are you sure that’s not the character count? It sounds like a lot of words per page.

@kate-flournoy Get over here. I just found someone crazier than you.

Btw, any non-blogger can sign write a book review for KP if they feel up to the challenge.

@daughteroftheking Overenthusiasm is always better than regular enthusiasm. 😛
