There is some shuffling, then more silence.

“Brek, what—?”

The door bursts open.

@ariel-ashira Well, this isn’t really something I think about a whole lot because I tend to have a good grip on my characters so I just always do what feels right for them and it pretty much turns out. I guess though personally, if I had a brother I thought was dead show up alive I would probably rush him and hug him.

@alia @bekreations  *beam*  Thanks for bringin’ this back, guys!  I don’t know what to add, but…  🙂  *thumbs up*

@ariella-newheart  Why thank you.  🙂  And I love your version of Aspen!!!

@jenwriter17 Yeah, what Kate said is huge. If you have part 2 of my Show Don’t Tell Course, I have a whole lesson on live scenes there, but basically a live scene is the literary version of a camera taking in everything that’s happening in a scene. No time is skipped. An overview is like when someone tells you what happened at their birthday…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 heh… I’ve got the opposite problem. 😛

*scratches head* I would say probably the number one thing that makes my novels so ridiculously long is the crazy amount of time I spend really delving into the layers of chemistry in live scenes. I try to do all live scenes if I possibly can (no summaries, no overviews, no generalizations)…[Read more]

@notawriter  Oh, I’m so glad you like her!

@sarah-anson  Those are epic!!!  🙂

@catwing  I love those!!!  🙂

@daeus  Sure thing!  Wow, that’s rough.

Hey friends,

Could you pray for a friend of the family? The dad just died in a car accident, leaving behind a wife and ten or eleven kids. 😢

Oops.  @daughteroftheking

@daugtheroftheking  Oh ho.  Me likey.  😉

@notawriter  I can’t remember if you’re on a hiatus or not, but I thought I’d tag you again just in case you missed this.  🙂

@0-0enyali0-0  Somehow I missed this…I love it!!!!  🙂 🙂 🙂

@notawriter  Hope you don’t mind: I gave Aspen a try!  She was super fun and sounds like a cool character.  I attempted the glass sword, although I’m not sure it turned out right.  🙂

Hope you like her!

I have a character that needs a face.

Devin Watt—15 years old, has green eyes and brown hair.  He usually wears jeans and T-shirt.  He also has a tattoo of a triangle on his right arm.  Personality: sarcastic, adventurous, usually pretty rash in his decision-making.  He also has a melancholy side, however.  So there.  Anyone wanna give him a g…[Read more]

I’m going to the Teach Them Diligently in Ohio here.

One tip: try to match the mood of the tune with the mood of the words to as fine a degree as possible.

@devastate-lasting I’m actually not sure how to get to the resource library without resubscribing to KP, so I’m not seeing whatever you’re looking at. It sounds though like some of the resources that used to be there aren’t there anymore?

I’m thinking they might have gotten moved over to the Story Embers resource library. I know they have the…[Read more]

@rochellaine  Welp.  I gotta go again.  Byeee!
