@winter-rose Hello! I’m working on my western novel.

@seekjustice Sorry I had to leave quickly without signing out last night.  I’ve seen Mary Poppins live, too!  It’s pretty different from the movie.

And since recommending Carousel to you I’ve had it in my head all day – and been listening to the recordings.  😀  But while I was doing that Robert Goulet popped up singing If I Loved You, which rem…[Read more]

@pickupyourpenandwrite Definitely praying for you!

@dekreel It was actually pretty well done.  Since you’ve already had a lot of advice from others about story structure and characters, I’ll just note a couple of editing comments.

First of all, I think you need to do a little more research on helicopters.  The first thing that struck me was the large size of the helicopters you were d…[Read more]

@waterlily Hi! you may have gotten all the advice you need, but I thought I’d put in a link for some articles on…[Read more]

@dekreel This is so cool!!! I love it ❤😉

@ariella-newheart I know I’ve seen you around on the forums, but I don’t know if I officially said hello.

So……..HELOOOOO! 😜

@christianna-hellwing Welcoooome! I’m sure you’ll absolutely love it here! 😉

Well, I would give some fantasy advice……………if I had any to give. I’m kinda new to fantasy myself. 😊

What are your favorite book/shows/movies? Do you have any pets?

@dekreel CHAP is a homeschool conference in Pennsylvania.  Last year I was there with my family as vendors for our family ministry, and Josiah was there with a KP booth.

@skredder  Haha! My sibling and I used to play with the chess pieces like that! Give them voices and all that jazz X)

@dekreel I agree with the others, that it could benefit from more tension. I’d also try to think of ways to make the main characters more distinct from each other. This could also be a source of conflict, not that they dislike each other, but that different personalities can create obstacles they have to overcome because they care about each…[Read more]

@kaya-young Oh, oh…don’t ask!  I’m trying, but it’s not going as fast as I would like.

By the way, I haven’t even found out what happens to her yet! 😀  I’ve done a very little bit of outlining, but mostly I just write as I go and see what comes out. (Which is sometimes a good thing – and sometimes a very bad thing.)

@rochellaine Thanks! 😀

@perfectfifths Nice! I like the song-like style. 🙂

@perfectfifths *confused* Um, yeah.  That part was supposed to be a joke too…I’ve known the song since I was a little kid, and there’s a part about if the “straw be too long”.  😀

I was meaning after you finish sewing, you’ll eventually have to cut the thread, or it will be hanging all over the place and look silly.

I wonder if the hole in the…[Read more]

@perfectfifths What if the thread be too long? 😀 Ohhh, I just realized that’s a pun!

Love it! 🙂  Thanks for playing!

@ariella-newheart

You know you’re a writer when you hear about someone else’s experiences and think: “Hey! I can make a character like that!”

All the time. Can’t keep up with it 😛

You know you’re a writer when, as you’re playing solitaire, you’re forming a story idea in your mind about four kingdoms who were scattered apart by enemies, and are forced to cooperate and work together to rebuild them

@seekjustice Oh my goodness!  The book is so completely different from the movie that you couldn’t tell they were the same but for the fact that the names aren’t changed!  There are so many differences I don’t think you can count them.

Have you heard of the movie Saving Mr. Banks?  I haven’t seen it, but it’s a film about the making of Mary Popp…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  That’s okay! XD
