@dekreel @clairec @rochellaine @winter-rose @daeus I’m writing for a bit–although I’ll be a bit distracted because I’m watching the dogs…

WOOF!

@daeus Indeed. 😛

@jenwriter17 Ooohhh… Those are awesome.

Here’s a few I made for Sector One –

@dekreel (Here are some of those collages… I’m going to wait a bit before I post them on my blog though, because I haven’t introduced my novel on there yet. XD)

@daeus 😀 Thanks. They are harder than they look

Thanks for those revision suggestions, too. The last one especially is helpful since it highlights that the dwarves are more experienced with exosuit building, which they are but that was slightly unclear in the first version.

You know you’re a writer when you type out Douglas Macauthor instead of Douglas Macarthur on quizlet and end up getting it wrong. Multiple times. Ugh.

@jenwriter17 Actually, I’ve never read any of those. If you read them, let us know if they were good:D

And no, I’m not on Goodreads. I do get quotes from authors there, though

@jenwriter17 She looks very interesting!  Is she on the good or bad side?

@dekreel Hmm… good question.
I think a motif is an element that occurs over and over in the story and sort of meant to become part of the story’s theme, whereas a symbol is simply there to represent something. And the theme is the topic your story is focused upon.
So a story’s theme might be forgiveness, and it contains a symbol of forgiveness…[Read more]

@skredder

I really liked it! The only thing I want to point out is that in this sentence
“From past “research”, Cassandra knew that there were always two night-guards standing by the single-person door that lead to the woods, along with at least six guards at all times watching the main gate into the castle”

Maybe the word you want is …[Read more]

@dekreel I think what the article said was that a symbol is something that is seen only a few times as an overreaching message, and a motif is something that is interwoven with the whole story.  In my mind I likened the motif to a knight’s coat of arms, which would be seen on everything, (shields, clothes, furniture, flags,) and the symbol to the…[Read more]

@dekreel Yeah, I guess I could do that, but I still think grammar wouldn’t be considered important enough, since you can probably google a lot of it.  Usually KP likes to publish more general things that are just ideas.  Daeus did do an article on sword fighting once, but even that is more complicated than a little grammar.

@rochellaine  Yyyyesssss… But they’re both technically symbolic objects that represent something. How does one tell the difference?

@rochellaine  You could do a smaller thing for the Keeper’s Corner if you didn’t want to do a full-size article 🙂

@clairec Okay, I might try writing the article, then.  But I don’t think the people here at KP would think it important enough to publish if I just did a grammar lesson on “thees and thous” so I think I could write it as “how to use slanguage in your writing” and do a small section on old English.  What do you think?  (And I would definitely ha…[Read more]

@princessfoo It was Patty Bride from the Carolyn Wells Patty Fairfield series.  The Patty series is one of my absolute favorite book series. 🙂  If you’re interested in reading the series you can get them free or for a couple of dollars on Kindle, or find most of them online at gutenberg.org and Google Books, because they’re now in the public domain.

@daeus Sort of. I basically took all of your advice and binge-fixed my book. XD So although I didn’t rewrite it, it has drastically improved.

*nods elvishly* I am forever in your debt.

@clairec I’m not sure what type of advice you’re looking for, so I’m going to dump it here. 😛

If you can make a way for people to follow you, do so. That will help so that people come back to your blog. And make the follow button easy to find. I doesn’t like it when I can’t find the follow button on blogs. Dragon Snapper no like. 😛

But…[Read more]

@dekreel You are infinitely awesome. 😛

And I’m sure your work is fine. The main reason that Sector One jumped from awful to … well, that, is probably @daeus. Thanks Daeus. 😛

@gh24682468999 Haha!  It looks pretty scary at first, but the analyzation you have in your signature helped me memorize it pretty quickly. 😀

@dekreel No worries. 🙂  My family uses the KJV, so I’ve been immersed in correct “thee and thou” grammar for years.  A lot of people use it as jokes, to make it sound more medieval or something, but an incorrect “thee” sentence is to me the same as “her and me could have went with they to the game if they’re mom might let them.”  😀

You said “I…[Read more]
