@Daeus I had a moment’s pause, as I noted, because I thought it was a little long, but after that split second I had no problem with it.

@Ethryndal got it. *tries not to eye Galadriel too weirdly* I, however, am past midlife crises, being already dead.

… Galadriel is chanting like an ewok.

@Ethryndal I think you broke me.

*dying scream* NOW I HAVE THE EWOK CHANT STUCK IN MY HEAD!!
*SOBS*

(Well… that makes me happy then. 😉 NOT THAT I KNOW MORE. That I was able to help you with it. 😛 )

@Ethryndal *chokes* Your ‘writing master’?? *coughs**wipes eyes* S-sorry. I just… always assumed that was sort of a joke…? 😛

@Overcomer oh good. *grins* I like giving people chills.

@Overcomer *glances around cautiously**whispers* here. Have a link. It’s not running yet but I have it up and a few things on it, and if I don’t give it to you know I’m gonna forget. 😛

@Overcomer nice! Share it with us once you have it running. 🙂

@That_Writer_Girl_99 thank you. That means a lot. 😉

@Overcomer I know! I’ve missed you. 🙂
That sounds like a great book, and that is an excellent thought. I have a grand total of two colleagues (@Daeus @Hope) but we have strengths and weaknesses that balance each other out, so we can all learn from each other and teach each other in different ways. You’re right; those partnerships are crucial.

@Daeus thank you. Good thoughtful answer. Believe it or not I actually hadn’t thought about it one way or the other; doing long term or not, but now that I have, it’s a definite yes. I never really set my heart to do anything unless I’m going to do it long term anyway. 😉 If it was just for promoting myself— yep, website. But since I feel like I…[Read more]

@Daeus how dare you shove your superior experience off on me!

No, you’re right. I guess I wouldn’t go so far as to say I haven’t done any planning— I have a basic idea of what I want. The blog actually serves two purposes for now (or once I get it running). The first is to help other writers by sharing what I learn. The second is to promote my…[Read more]

Thanks @Emily @Shannon. 🙂
And actually it wasn’t too hard… it didn’t involve any real ‘blowing’ which was kinda disappointing, but maybe that’s just the advanced techniques. 😉 It was sort of just like playing with modeling clay.
10,000+ degree modeling clay. 😛 Over a torch that could probably singe your eyebrows off from five feet away if you…[Read more]

@Daeus yep. Been thinkin’ about it for two years.
One word— school. *headdesk* I’m technically done, but there was extracurricular work that I didn’t know about, so I’m racing to finish that up and then HOPEFULLY I can actually get started with platform stuff. 😛 I’ll be beginning with a blog… and once I’ve got that relatively stable…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper *sniffs* Music used to be one of mine too, actually. Until I got a hearing problem that made it so I can’t wear earphones. *weeps pathetically* I’d use it both for inspiration and to drown out the noise around me (our house has an entirely open floorplan so there’s not a whole lot of quiet ;P) but blasting it loud enough without…[Read more]

@His-Instrument @Daeus @Dragon-Snapper thanks, guys. You people are the best.

I definitely agree with you about being cynical of most authors out there, Daeus. If I did seek out a mentor, it would be for the marketing/publishing side of things, even though I’m going indy.
Honestly, I feel like I can learn just as much about actual writing…[Read more]

@Emily-D my brain… 😛
*coughs* What, that’s not what you meant? *grins* In all honesty, I think I must’ve short-changed myself when it comes to tools besides my imagination because now that you asked (and ruled out KP) I can’t think of a single one I depend on regularly. Besides ones I’ve invented and they’re more like theories than tools. So……[Read more]

@Daeus yeah, I don’t think length is too big of a deal.
