@epicaddie2  I wish I could hug you right now!  I totally know what you’re going through…I’ve been there myself and it’s so easy to lose sight of the fact that God is there with us no matter what.  And if it’s any encouragement, you have friends here.  Hang in there and keep plowing through.  God has something absolutely beautiful plan…[Read more]

@introvert_girl

Here are a few (they all mean star in various languages):

Astra, Astrophel, Dara, Seren, Stella, Tara…

Hopefully these are helpful.  I love your new profile pic, by the way!  🙂

@perfectfifths, I’ve had a lot of practice drawing. Plus, internet tutorials, and I bought a cheap mannequin from Wal-mart.

@dekreel, Oh, I see what you mean. I would love to learn to animate, I’m actually considering getting a degree in japanese(anime) animation. I would love to be able to create clean, good anime that everyone can watch without…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper There are lots of good takes on this here. I agree with them. I’ll just post two other ideas.

1. Take a break, but not from your book. Take a break just to dream about your book. Imagine yourself in scenes. Dream about backstory you’ve never thought of. Just dream.

2. I think writing isn’t always so much about our books as it is…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 That is totally relatable.

I’ll be remembering to pray for you, because this is very similar to what I face, only it’s not a loneliness issue but still a faith issue.

If I could say two things to encourage you, first of all, “In everything give thanks.” Boy, this helps. I think we feel depressed because we feel weak. In thankfulness,…[Read more]

Okay, I redid it. Here is the entire script:

*gives person business card* “Here. This way I can send you a prompt, civilized introduction to my novel.”

@kate-flournoy

@dekreel See Nick’s face. That’s me. HAHA!

*melts chair*

@dekreel

Here.

“I’m so SHINY!”

“I’m a rumor weed. A tiny little story is all I need…”

“Cause he loves you cheeseburger, with all his heart. And there ain’t nothing ever going to tear you two apart. And if the world totally ran out of cheese, he would get down on his hands and knees. And he would wipe it up for you. WIPE IT UP FOR YOU. CLE…[Read more]

@dekreel

One of these days.

Random social stranger at a random social function: “Oh, you write books? Cool! What’s your book about?”

Me, randomly trying to function socially: *stilted grin and shivering, nervous laugh* “Here, let me… let me…” *digs out notebook with a triumphant flourish* “I wrote it down!”

XD

@Dragon-snapper

@kate-flournoy And now it’s working. Weird. But I’ll still take that chocolate.

Oh yeah. I would love it if someone said something — not “What’s your book about?” — to “Here’s my email so you can send me the book.” XD But of course…I’d rather not give my email to random strangers.

No thanks.

Yeah. Definitely need more practice. “Hi, mirror.…[Read more]

@that_writer_Girl_99 XD Sorry. I haven’t been on in a while… My brain must be losing its automatic tags.

*takes the best of luck and leaves the melted chairs for everyone else*

@Dragon-Snapper ugh I am so sorry. I have no idea why it does that to you. *offers you conciliatory chocolate*

Yeah… trying to pitch your book on the spur of the moment is torture. Especially if the person is just trying to make conversation and you can tell they really don’t care. And then you walk away from the encounter and think of a dozen…[Read more]

@valtmy Welcome to KP! 😀

@sam-kowal ‘s right. But worry not, I’ve tried to instigate a rebellion myself. XD Even though I’m the one who made @daeus king.

Anyway, randomness aside; I’m Dragon Snapper. Most people here just call me Snapper though, cause why would you have to write down Dragon Snapper EVERY SINGLE TIME. XD

Glad to see another…[Read more]

Okay, sorry about that ‘k’. It was the only thing I could type in before the strange link sent me to @kate-flournoy‘s website. XD

Anyway…

This is a hilarious topic, because yeah, people do kind of look at you strange when you say you’re a writer. “Ah…”

And they ask what your book is about. But the book your writing is a sequel, so you…[Read more]

@mariposa XD Now I have a combination of “Shiny” “Rumor Weed” “Cheeseburger” “The Pirates who don’t do anything” and “Hairbrush” stuck in my head.

Not cool.

😉 JK

@dragon-Snapper It’s your punishment for getting that Moana Shiny song stuck in everyone’s head (except mine because I haven’t seen it 😋).

@dekreel Aw, that song isn’t as bad as all that, especially compared to “Oh My Precious Cheeseburger,” “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything,” or “Oh Where, Oh Where is My Hairbrush.” You’re welcome for ge…[Read more]
