@hope, @daeus, @kate-flournoy, @emma-flournoy, @overcomer, @winter-rose, @jess, @clairec, @spradlin, @faithdk, @rolena-hatfield, @gretald, @ingridrd, @his-instrument, @christi-eaton, @timothy-young, @anna-brie, @gideon-sowdon, @warrioroftherealm, @EVERYONE!!!!!
Tagging you all again. 🙂 Does anyone know if the Beast has a name? Or is he just Beast?

@clairec Yes, you have the exact idea. I have only seen the movie ‘The little princess’ and that scene isn’t in there. 🙁
I mean them reading a different. It would be like me starting B & B now and in five minutes you read the book too. But up where you are.
@hope We have the Inkheart books but I have not yet gotten to them. And my name as in…[Read more]

Ooh, wifi on vacation! Yessss…

*ahem* You’re quite welcome, @Sarah-H. 😀 As I see it, the only purpose of debate is to discuss and discover truth, and anything besides firm respect and consideration is, at the very least, completely unnecessary. I do my best to live by that rule.
And good for your brother he’s willing to stand up and defend…[Read more]

Does the Hero’s Journey count as one (e.g. Star Wars)? That’d probably be my favorite if I had to pick one. That being said (as is probably evident from the fact that I write free-verse poetry), I’m a lot like @hope in that I just kinda go with whatever is happening in the story. If it follows a structure, great. If not, it’s not a huge concern as…[Read more]

The person I was doing the script for loved it. 🙂 Thanks for the tips! @rolena-hatfield, @christi-eaton, @gretald, @hope

Thanks, @hope . 🙂

Haha, sorry @dragon-snapper . It’s still Summer here in Virginia.

I agree @hope. I feel like everything has been used already. I do like the idea of some government. (I’m thinking that instead of the typical overthrow, they reconcile in some exciting, entertaining way.) 🙂

Hi! I’m back again. Thanks for the feedback everyone. I think I have the background info now. What do you think? I’m trying to make it not cliche-ish. 🙂 Thanks a billion! 🙂 🙂 🙂 @emma-flournoy @hope @bluejay @julia-r @overcomer @anne-swiftblade @mark-kamibaya @dragon-snapper

A long time away in a galaxy- just kidding. 300 years…[Read more]

@hope Yeah, send it to me.

Wow, everyone. Thanks for all the ideas. I think I can come up with something…

Why are both of Jaxes parents missing? Is he the main character? Is he more important than the others? Is he the key to unraveling a mystery, possibly the mystery of the missing parents?

@anne-swiftblade, So I was thinking that one parent was switched over to the…[Read more]

Can I add something @Daeus? It’s about overviews. Or summaries. Or telling (instead of showing). After reading Showing & Telling: Learn How to Show & When to Tell for Powerful & Balanced Writing by Laurie Alberts I believe that summaries is rather essential to stories. I know that contradicts “show don’t tell” but hear me out.

You need to use…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper: Why, yes, I have seen Big Hero 6! Have you read The Art of Big Hero 6 by Jessica Julius? It has some fantastic concept art pieces in it! By the way, dragons are great. Really, really great. Being a dragon sounds awesome ;).
@hope: thanks for the welcome! I agree.

@hope I don’t know; I don’t really consider myself an expert on the male mind. :p Most of what I can think of is already tooted in conservative circles.

@rolena-hatfield Very little: As a kid, I put together a slideshow or two of two cats with subtitles that had an annoying song which was probably not appropriate for children. Then when I and…[Read more]

*gasp* @hope YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! I’m not the only one! That is, the only one that writes from male POV…and I’m not the only one. 🙂

@hope Hmm, yes I should say it’s hard (knowing a thing or two about that). I think I’m starting to get the hang of it though. Let’s hope. Oh wait, I should say ‘let’s Hope’. Congratulations on your promotion to a verb.

I think I had some occasional problems with rough transitions before, but hopefully not anymore. If you see any though, please…[Read more]

Ahm, @hope, your not as late as I am…@Julia-r *hides face with dragon wings* I am so sorry I haven’t officially met your or introduced myself…allow me to begin.
My name is Dragon Snapper, it’s nice to meet you. I’m a dragon, hints the wings. Speaking of Disney, have you ever seen Big Hero 6?
