@waterlily Nope. I don’t outline before I start. The most I ever do is write a couple of ideas for the next two or three scenes and have a general idea of how the story is probably going to end.

Sometimes it doesn’t turn out the best, but, hey, that’s what editing is for. 🙂

@skredder Yay, thanks! 🙂 I’ll get to these as soon as I can. Enjoy your trip!

@skredder aw, thank you for reading it! 😀

I do have a question though: Jane said that I was struggling with telling instead of showing, how do you think that was in this chapter?

Name: Kapeefers know her as ‘Notta Writer’ but her real name is Amanda Write.
Species: Human
Appearance: Round face, pale skin, blonde hair with reddish highlight -usually in a bun, dark blue glasses that frame her blue grey eyes.
Personality: Awkwardly shy, anxious, a little bit of a cry baby (but never in public) artistic, and empathetic.

@seekjustice I’m not here because I am writing but because I have a question for you specifically and didn’t think it worth creating a new thread. (I hope that’s okay 😉 )

Anyways I know that you like to write stories that are retellings and would love to hear your general thoughts and advice about writing them. 🙂

@ariella-newheart I’ll draw him if no one els wants to? 🙂

@jess-penrose Sorry!  I didn’t see your post since you didn’t tag me, and you might have left by now.  But that sounds extremely interesting! 🙂  I love sci-fi, though I prefer more realistic sci-fi than the near-fantasy you have there.  But your story does sound pretty cool.

@seekjustice Okay, I’ll go to bed. 😀 😛  See you tomorrow, I hope!

@jess-penrose I am attempting to convince myself that I should be working on my Camp NaNo project rather than writing fanfiction for @seekjustice ‘s book. 😀

What’s you Camp NaNo project about?

@seekjustice  Oh, if I can give you my favorite public domain books the list will be miles long! 😀  Don’t worry, I’ll keep down to a very few right now.  By the way, you didn’t really give me any his-fics yourself?  Do you read many?  Do you have any recommendations?  I do read true history books but enjoy his-fic better. 😉

Oh, you did?  Cool!…[Read more]

@seekjustice No, I can’t do it when I’m deeply asleep either. 🙂

Oh, I see.  I haven’t been away yet since joining KP except for one night spent in a hotel with my mom when we traveled north for my Christmas present concert.  And even then I brought my computer and I think was able to post two or three posts.  I guess I’ll have the real ex…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hahaha!  Except, I’m one of those people who can… “lucid dream” I think Warren Luther called it?  If I realize I’m dreaming I can often “write” the dream to go the way I want it to. 😀  But you’re right, the first half of the dream when I didn’t realize I’m dreaming usually has millions of plotholes!

Let it be known that I have ne…[Read more]

@seekjustice Okay, I’m back!  Are you ready yet?

You know those “you know you’re a writer” things?  Well, I just had one happen a couple of hours ago…

I was reading a story where someone was relating a nightmare he had to one of his friends.  One of the things in the nightmare was a chicken who ran really fast, and that was supposed to be th…[Read more]

@catwing Goodnight!

@seekjustice I’m leaving for about half an hour, then I’ll probably be back for a little while.  I really need to get a little more done tonight. 🙂

@catwing I love annoying characters!  As long as they’re annoying to the other characters, and not to the reader, of course.  I think they’re really funny. 🙂

However, I haven’t got much experience at writing any kind of antagonists.  My few antagonists that I have invented were pretty boring, in my opinion. 😀  I’m hoping to experiment with some…[Read more]

@catwing So sorry I can’t join you right now! Will you be on tomorrow?

@catwing How’s it going?  I’ll be here for a little bit.

@seekjustice I’m back.  Are you around?

@waterlily I’m kinda in between ‘outliner’ and ‘pantser.’ I use K. M. Weiland’s Structuring Your Novel and Outlining Your Novel workbooks, which are really cool. But I don’t fill them all out because I don’t like to go into as much detail as she does.

At the end of my plotting and outlining, I like to outline what happens in each chapter; just a…[Read more]

@rochellaine Haha, I guess that’s two for your opinion. But don’t worry, you’ll come around to my way of thinking 😛 😛 😛

@rochellaine I got 225, but they weren’t very good, I might end up erasing them tomorrow, haha 🙂

Well, I have to go now. Thanks for the word war! 😉

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

How did you do?
