@winter-rose eh… close enough. ;P

@jenwriter17 well first of all, I must have somehow missed your introduction cuz I don’t remember saying hello. Hello, and welcome. 😉 I’m an old timer here, but I haven’t been around much lately due to crazy life. I’m so pleased to see new faces filling in.

Writing goals… *whimpering laugh*

Oh boy.

1. FINALLY get the third draft of the book…

@Winter-Rose nineteen this coming March… how close are we? 😛

@inkling-for-christ Haha! 😀 I don’t think I’ve ever seen a “show don’t tell” review before. Good job.

@mariposa *chokes on her left-over Christmas gingerbread and faints into the eggnog*

Oh wow… I… I don’t even know what to say…

@Winter-Rose I love how you tied it together at the beginning and end; nice work. 😀

Overall, I think it’s pretty strong. I do think you could cut this one line: Before he can drop the mission killers close in, confronting him with a choice. Will he run from the men who want Amy dead, or will he remain and risk repeating a past defeat he wishes…[Read more]

@winter-rose *props chin on fist and looks up at you with enormous, adoring brown eyes* When I grow up, I wanna write like you.

That. Was. Awesome.

@jenwriter17 I’m strongly considering attending. 🙂 They’ve got a great line-up of speakers!

@Introvert_girl good question. I haven’t given this a ton of thought, but my gut says you would have to acknowledge to the reader that this is different.

You can’t let the new characters try to fill the shoes of the old ones; it won’t work. You should make it clear that this is their story now… and that the world has changed to need them as…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Great story! You seriously need to be an author. No joke.

I have to worry though that I’m going to get fat with all the ice cream I eat in these stories. 😛

@bethanysinkyroses heyyyyyyy, welcome back! I was wondering where you went. 😀

@Catwing *laughs crazily* Whoo, this is getting nuts. XD I love it.

@sam-kowal gaahhhh, I love it! *dies laughing*

No seriously, this is adorable. And hilarious. I want more.

Haha! Well don’t you all be wishy-wash about it. 😉

@notawriter  Welcome!  I’m a little late (I was on an unofficial hiatus), but I’m here now!!!  Can’t wait to see you around the forum!

@Daeus yep, #2.

Okay, I believe I’ve got the final design down. Let me just do a survey on the tagline.

Which of these do you like best?

1. Learn to write better
2. Take your writing to the next level

@kate-flournoy @lifeofkatie @sam-kowal @introvert_girl @supermonkey42 @dekreel @dragon-snapper @catwing @aislinn-mollisong @shannon

@abby1 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

I do believe you’re the first New Zealander we’ve ever had. How did you find us?

What types of books do you like to write?

@supermonkey42 @dekreel Glad you enjoyed these. 😀

Reeding the advertisement in this and the notes on some of the poems, I’m actually getting the impression with this book, that it was not the original poetry of Alfred, but translated for Boethius, a Latin poet. However, it seems that Alfred was liberal with his translation and he made some…[Read more]
