Snapper started the topic Facebook in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 2 months ago
Alrighty, Kapeefers. I made meself a Facebook page (With my real name… *hides*) for the Silver Phoenix blog. But I’m wondering how to promote the facebook page to people other than myself and my friends on facebook… to people who aren’t my friends but people like you….
Or I guess the real question is, how do I use facebook as a writer…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’m so so happy that you checked out the ‘too good to be true’ forum. This place wouldn’t be the same without epic people like you to spread some happiness and friendly words of encouragement and advice.
Seriously, girl. You’re amazing. <3

Oookay, that’s a lot to catch up on. XD
@introvert_girl Right. The emotions in my character should be strengthening them… I’ll try to keep that in mind…
@ethryndal This is for the third book in the trilogy, so I can understand why you’re not seeing it. I think one of the problems might be that I’m focusing too much on characters and not…[Read more]

@hannah-c XD That’s hilarious though. (And thanks, but I have plenty to write about. 😛 )
I’m writing a science fiction trilogy right now. Working on the last book, then to editing. *headdesk* And thank you. 🙂

Hi all!
Some of you may have noticed I haven’t been around much lately. I just wanted to let you know I haven’t been ignoring you. A lot of changes have been happening lately and I hate to say this, but I’m afraid I must…I guess what I’m trying to say is…goodbye. 😢 Y’all have been the bestistiest and I’ll miss every one of you sorely, and…[Read more]

@Dekreel This is great. XD And I agree with @ClaireC, the small installments are nice; makes it easier to read and in one sitting. 😉
@PerfectFifths If you really could cut in perfect fifths that would be quite a feat.

@dragon-snapper, uuuuuummmmmmmm.
yeah.
I’m not going to be much help with this, cause I do the same thing.
One of the things I’ve found helpful is, like @daeus said, insert hope. Your characters should be driven by their goals.
Unless your MC is like mine, who is just plain hurting and miserable, and kind of takes it out on everyone else.…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Just a Bit… Dismal in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@dragon-snapper If the problem is just that your story seems too dismal, make sure there’s always an element of hope mixed in with the chaos and strive to focus on your characters’ yearnings/ambitions that drive them forward. If you’ve got that all down, I bout your story could be too dismal. Problems tend to intensify stories. It’s only stories…[Read more]

Snapper started the topic Just a Bit… Dismal in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
Alrighty, guys…
I could use some help on this front. I’ve learned pretty well over the past few months how to show and not tell, but I actually am using that too much.
Don’t get me wrong. Always show over tell, but my problem is that I’m focusing way too much on the emotion. And Ike… Zelaya, they’ve all gone dismal.
How do I refocus my…[Read more]

Ooh, yikes, I’m so glad you’re okay. 🙂
Comical autobiography… that sounds hilarious. 😛 Is it about you?
Up to?
Up to much mischief, my dear friend…

I was just thinking about you earlier today. *sniff* But I think you’ve got the right perspective; God does know what’s best, even if it doesn’t make sense at the time. Or if, yeah, change isn’t the most comfy thing on earth.
Thank you for being such a great kapeefer! 😀 *offers Aberdeen a rough draft full of delicious adverbs*
@mariposa
@dragon-snapper Aw, thanks. *Aberdeen eats adverbs* Me and him will never forget you, dear Snapper.
@mariposa aw, we’ll miss you lots! *reaches for tissue* but I appreciate that you’re going in the direction you think God is taking you 🙂 I’ll definitely keep following your blog!
@jenwriter17 I can’t begin to tell you how encouraging your comments have been to me. Thank you for always being so sweet and wonderful. 🙂
@mariposa I really do enjoy your blog and your artwork is amazing! It’s inspiring me to keep drawing too 🙂 sorry I haven’t been as active on commenting though, life is just busy right now.
@mariposa, Oh no!!!!! I’m going to miss you!
Thank you for the input you’ve had here.
I’ll be following you blog too.
May God bless you in whatever He has in store for you. 🙂
@clairec Thank you. It means a lot to know you’re reading my blog. I will miss you too. 😢
Shucks, I’m gonna miss you around here. Ah well, God knows best. I can’t wait for you to find out where He’s taking you. So long for now, my friend. You’ve been a wonderful addition to our Keeper circle, and we’re going to be sorely lacking in bright colors and dinosaurs without you. 💕
I’ll be keeping up to date on all your platforms. 🙂
@ethryndal The feeling is mutual. *sniff* Why do you guys have to be so amazing? That’s what makes this goodbye all the harder.
That, my friend, is EXACTLY the point. It’s the safety measures we take to make sure as few people leave us as possible. 😉
*hugs you tightly* I’m so sorry to see you go, lovely girl 🙁 You’ve been a wonderful addition to the team, as well as an incredible encourager and friend. Can I have the link to your blog? You’re not getting rid of me that easily.💕
@cindygreen *hugs you back while sniffling* Thank you for your very kind, sweet words, Cindy. You’ve inspired me ever since I read your first KP poem. ❤️
Of course! Here it is: https://www.thetinytealtypewriter.com I may be taking a break from it for a short time as I mull over some new ideas. Also, I’ll be hanging out at Story Embers and hel…[Read more]
@winter-rose Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. 💜 I’m glad God gave me the opportunity to meet people like you.
AGHHH! I am crazy late to this. 😭
So sad to see you go, Mariposa!! I’m going to miss seeing you around here. 🙁 Praying everything works out on the new path you’re taking! ❤❤❤
