Hello everybody tagged below!

I’ve got a bunch of unfinished drafts of stories (plus the finished draft for the Pilot for Aquila) and I was wondering if any of you would like to alpha-read some of them (and, perhaps, beta-read the finished draft). I need input on what I’m working on because I’ve got some stories I’m stuck on.

So, for those of…[Read more]

Oh, and all of the Star Wars fans out there… my brother and I wrote a poem you’ll love.

A Poetic Discourse on the Unfairness of the Jedi Life

Don’t you find it quite unfair
That all the Jedi Masters
Live in giant deserts dry
And useless dusty pastures

Anakin and then young Luke
On Tattoine were found
Ray grew up in dry J…[Read more]

Yes, that would work…if you think all the information would fit. I think it’s important to have reminders of why we like KP so much on it, so maybe it could be slightly bigger than a business card but slightly smaller than a postcard. Maybe we need to see what needs to be written on it, then we can see how big it ought to be?

I really like the…[Read more]

Hey fellow serfs,
This is an idea that needs brainstorming. I started the topic a few days ago, but I never tagged anyone.…[Read more]

@hope Do you schedule yourself a time for each?

So, I’m kinda torn here. What do you guys do when you finish a book, and you have to edit but at the same time you want to write your next book. Do you focus solely on the editing, or do you write your next book while editing?

@Hope, are you going to try to do it in a week, too? 🙂 I’ll probably write mine over July.

@hope I don’t think so. It’s still in the pre-stages of movie making. But they have some of the characters. Boromir is king Duncan. 😛
@daughteroftheking *accepts confetti* I know!!! I can’t wait!

I would just like to make it known that I had ice cream with raspberry syrup tonight. 🙂 I thought of you all. 😛

@hope @kate-flournoy @jess @bluejay @christi-eaton Did anyone else see that they’re making a Ranger’s Apprentice movie?

Sci-Fi Research Part 1

So the first thing I did was research what science fiction actually is. I looked for a whole bunch of definitions. Many went something like “science fiction is a genre that deals with futuristic science and technology” or “it’s merely a setting.” Personally, I found the “dealing with technology” definition to be quite…[Read more]

And *takes deep breath* Here’s the short story.

I’m crazy.
I know that.
My mother shakes her head sadly as she closes the door. The dull click of the lock echoes in my head.
They say it’s for my own good. They say that I’m mad, a lunatic, a delusional fantasist. Locking me in here is supposed to protect me.
But I know the truth…[Read more]

@hope Random Answer: Do I have any experience? Well, when the advertisement says WANTED: Heroes Who Will Die For Freedom, I think the answer would be obvious.

@ethryndal @hope @adry_grace Thank you. I wrote it in past tense first, and then accidentally wrote the last paragraph present tense. Then decided I loved it that way better and changed it all.

@Hope Ann @Jess @Northerner Thank you all for your awesome tips so far! Very inspiring 😉
