Very nice indeed.  🙂

@Daeus cool!

Thanks everyone! I haven’t read any of these books. Any other classical book suggestions? I’ve read quite a bit of the classics but not all, I’m sure.

@lifeofkatie I do like nonfiction and historical fiction. Fire away!

@dragongeek Don’t worry. I still think it’s plenty original.

@Sam-kowal @seekjustice @radically-surrendered awesome, guys! Thanks so much.

@dragongeek Welcome to the site! I’ve listened to a fair amount of Two Steps from Hell and like them a fair bit. 🙂

Are you working on writing any stories currently? If so, what’s it about?

@sam-kowal Welcome to the site! Sounds like we have a lot of the same favorite authors between Sanderson and Austen, among others. 🙂

@emily Yeah; unfortunately I don’t have enough web coding knowledge for that. 😛 Those kinds of features will have to wait until we can bring a legit web designer onto our team.

@sam-kowal you… you want to read it?

*stares*

Guys. All I told this person… was how ridiculously long my book was. And now he wants to read it.

My life is complete. I have found someone who actually loves enormous books.

XD Well, it will be open for beta-reading sometime this year…[Read more]

@sam-kowal thank you! I know… eleven is a lot. 😛 Believe me, no one knows that better than I do. XD It was originally twelve, but I managed to knock one off, thank goodness.

Eh dear, yes. Brandon Sanderson gives me hope that it can be done… if he can publish that many books, that are that long (the first draft of my WiP was 500,000+ words)…[Read more]

@Shannon XD Sorry… that was mainly aimed at Miss Marvel Geek Elizabeth. 😉 Dr. Connor is basically a giant mutant lizard who lives in the drainage systems of Manhattan. Lovely, no? ;P

@SeekJustice thanks!

@PrincessFoo ehhh… I can neither confirm nor deny any past, present, or future dealings I may have had or will have with people of questionable character. *flips knives, stows them in her belt**pulls black mask over her eyes**smiles**somersaults away down the street*

@seekjustice what mood is the crowd in? The thing about crowds (especially excited, desperate, angry, or otherwise passionate ones) is that it only takes one small stone to make everything start rolling. It only takes one character bold enough to make a move— throw a rock, light a fire, start running— and all the rest will follow. So if you’ve…[Read more]

@salome01w4g So long! I only wrote 257, but, hey! It’s the evil first chapter and I’m a bit out of practice.

@salome01w4g I’m working on the first chapter of my fantasy trilogy. 🙂

@dragongeek  *wilts into chair*  My apologies.  P-please don’t turn me into anythin’…unnatural.

@salome01w4g Hey, I’ll join you for half an hour!

@princessfoo Gotcha. 😉 I did think that sounded a little too isolated. 😛

The nice thing if you have access to your character’s head is that it will make it easier to write subtle stuff because you’ve got the character’s internal monologue to add to the equation.

@princessfoo Kapow! Wikipedia probably has a better answer than I do. At least I hope so. I didn’t actually read the article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flirting

Btw, do you have The Emotion Thesaurus? If so, look up “love” in there.
