@dragon-snapper  That second one is way too true for me…

You know you’re a writer when the most frustrating thing in the world is thinking up an awesome story idea during the night—and completely forgetting it the next morning.  *rips out hair*

@dekreel @skredder @daughteroftheking @writers

I have been fighting valiantly to finish my Latin translation and have prevailed!  Now I am writing…care to join me?

You know you’re a writer when you are playing out a scene in your mind and start mumbling your characters’ conversation in the shower.

😉

@pickupyourpenandwrite Just a note of encouragement. Rewriting/doing major revisions may be a tough process, but it will teach you A TON and leave you feeling a much more confident writer afterward.

@daughteroftheking  That’s awesome!

@dekreel  @his-instrument @kaya-young @rochellaine

Okay, so I have decided on a name.  *drumroll*

Devin!

I thought about what you said, Hannah, so I just changed the spelling slightly to avoid any pronunciation errors.  Thank you all for your input!

@dragon-snapper  Ohhh, very nice indeedly.

@gracie-girl can tell you a lot about J/P. It’s really cool stuff.

@naomijackson I don’t think it’s best to just insert chapter breaks wherever there is a cliffhanger. You want chapters to be fairly similar in length with just a handfull of short and long ones thrown in there. I believe writing chapter breaks in the first draft helps me craft nice chapter breaks and more cliffhangers because I’m planning for the…[Read more]

@rochellaine I also like Devan a lot.  Thanks for the input.  (Oh, and Larik is a great name, by the way, @daughteroftheking, but I don’t feel like it suits my character. 😉 )

@rochellaine I’ve never thought about this before. I’ve always just had the chapter breaks right from the start. I assumed that’s how everyone did it. I suppose it’s not a big deal, but it does work well for me how I do it. It helps me plan chapter breaks well and gives me an added sense of completion when I finish a chapter.

@rochellaine  That’s a very good point.  *smacks face*

He is fifteen years old.  He is mischievous, bold, and reckless, often does things without thinking.  He can fight his own battles, but tries to do too much on his own (he’s slightly arrogant).

Appearance: windswept brown hair, dull green eyes, average height.

@daughteroftheking  Yes, she is fun to write!  😉

@mariposa  Shweet!

@dekreel @rochellaine @kaya-young @his-instrument

Okay, so this isn’t exactly on topic, but I’m trying to name a guy character and need some ideas.  What I have so far:  Arian, Bryson, Corban, Devan, Crew

I’m having such a hard time choosing.  So, please either vote on which of the above names you like best or use your wonderfully creative mi…[Read more]

@mnvalentine It depends a bit on what you consider “action”. If action is battles and desperate plots, no novel actually needs those and you can bring them in at any point in your story. If action to you means confrontation, which I think is a good synonym, perhaps you do need the action to come in earlier, though it depends on how long your book…[Read more]

@Bella-D *salutes* Happy to be of service! 🙂

@jessi-rae  Yeah, I love that quote.  😉

@jessi-rae  Cool beans.  😉

@waterlily  Some character collages and book #2 in my trilogy.  How about you?
