@waterlily I do outline, although not extremely extensively. I pretty much plan the ending of my story first, work back, plan out all the major plot beats and what’s going to happen in the chapters. If I have an idea for a scene or something of the sort, a piece of dialogue I want in, I mark that down, too, to go somewhere in the narrative.…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Wow, that was bad. 😛  I only got in 175 words!

How did you do?

@jenwriter17 Sure! It might bring me out of the rut I’m in on my western!

How long?  Seven minutes by the timer?

@jenwriter17 Ha! @sleepwalkingmk just said she also didn’t think Chessy and Justice should be a thing at the end of Stars! 😀  But she’s falling for them faster than I am, and I think we’ll both be shipping them pretty hard by the end of the sequel. 😉  So you’ll have your way after all, I guess. 😛

@rochellaine

Glad you liked it!

My original idea was a sort of Man vs God thing. It draws upon the belief that our lives are ruled by “Fate” that was prevalent in ancient China.

Basically the setting is a story world where “Fate” appears to cause lots of silly love stories to happen and the “Rules” are basically just all the…[Read more]

@skye 😀 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! That’s cool that you lead a Bible Study. I don’t think I’ve meant a teenager who does that. What parts of the Bible have you studied most recently?

I love fantasy, too! I’m a fantasy writer, for the most part. I have a pet dragon named Stan, who I rescued as a hatch-ling.

@seekjustice

It’s time for dinner now.  I guess I’ll be back at the usual time.  See you then?

@seekjustice How is your writing going?  Mine is going nowhere – and fast! 😛

@seekjustice I know it doesn’t really count as poetry, but I loved your street boy song in Stars when Waif sang it just before he died!

So, my poem refuses to be written as well, the naughty thing!  I got three stanzas and then fell flat on my face.  I guess it’s back to the western.

@jenwriter17 Okay, see you tomorrow!

@seekjustice @ingridrd Hi!  I just got an idea for a poem, so I’m writing that right now and will go back to my western in a few minutes to see if I can get something written on it then.

What are you working on, Ingrid?

@jenwriter17 @ingridrd @alia @seekjustice I’m still here, attempting to write something, anything, on my western – and failing miserably! 🙁  What do I do when the words just won’t come out of my fingers?

Anyone feel like joining me in (unsuccessfully) writing?

@kaya-young Yes, I guess it could be. 🙂  I assumed since the guy wrote them, that they were his ideas of how the world ought to work, but they could be the actual rules and he just discovered them.

Are you writing right now?  There are so many people on hiatus right now I couldn’t think who to tag, but I’m on Writers’ Corner and so far have w…[Read more]

Hello, I’m writing!  Does anyone want to join me?

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice @wait…who else is not on a hiatus? 😀

@kaya-young I pictured the Rules of Fate as more of someone’s silly idea of what they should be, or what generally happens as a sort of “poetic justice,” not some actual rules of the universe.  @valtmy is that correct?

By the way, I thought it was very funny and cute. 🙂  I like it.

@juliawrites4christ Is there anything in particular about the 1700s and 1800s you like?

My favorite period is even more modern history: American, from about 1900-1970.

@jenwriter17 For you, my friend, a poem on Flying Penguins 

Flying penguins are so rare
That sooner would a cow with hair
As purple as your mother’s dress
Be seen than such, I do confess

Flying penguins are so strange
Giraffes on open Kansas range
Would be quite common, normal things
Compared to penguins with real wings

Flying penguins cannot b…[Read more]

@mnvalentine

Hmm… yes maybe that will work. I was planning on having a more sweeping epic but maybe a tighter story might suit the premise better. Thanks!

@introvert_girl

Sure no problem.

@skye

Welcome fellow INTJ to the bestistest place on the internet! Hope you enjoy yourself here! 😀

So what are your favourite books?

@seekjustice Oh, good. 🙂  But wait, that’s funny. For some reason I always thought Rain was a few months younger than Chessy! 😀  Haha.  So I pictured her as a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old kid. 😛

I’m going to say goodnight now!  See you tomorrow hopefully.
