@hope Yeshhhh… it’s going to be interesting. 😛 The goal is to cut it down to below a hundred by the time I’m done rewriting, but who knows if that’ll pan out.

And I thought rewriting my novella took a while. Wow!

@Daeus wish me luck. You don’t get it until I’m done… 😉

Ooh yes… this happened to me with a minor character @vanna.
I literally had zero inkling he existed when I started the book— then I realized I’d need someone to fill the role of a judge, and when I walked in on his first scene he blew me away. He’s one of the deepest, subtlest, most complex characters in the story, and I didn’t even know he…[Read more]

Oh— and HUZZAH!!!!!!

Wow, this is the fastest growing topic I’ve seen for some time! 😛 Three pages already!

@vanna I write fantasy, and in the future sci-fi. 🙂 I also do more of the medieval stuff, and this is really weird but I’m also working on drawing setting inspiration from cultures besides Medieval Europe! What a small world it is!
Let’s see, as of right now…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you imagine your characters in a scene, subconsciously copy their facial expression, and then have your family ask why you’re angry, sad, ect.

This. So. Much. This. @Vanna I do that when I’m reading, too. 😀

You know you’re a writer when you read about a move in a fight scene, think it might be unrealistic, and…[Read more]

Ooh, I love this topic, @vanna!
I have a character that I can tell is starting to change, (what I mean is, he’ll have to change totally, because he just isn’t working in my story like I thought he was going to) but he’s actually my MC (I sense some re-writing in my future 😛 ). But right now, he’s leaning more towards being the secondary…[Read more]

@Daeus: Sadly, I don’t own the book – but now I’m motivated to grab it off the library bookshelf, carry it home in triumph, grab a cup of tea and read till midnight.

@bluejay: Is your profile pic Kara Killmer from Beyond the Mask? *squeals* I love that movie and her!

@andry_grace: Thank you!! 🙂 Yours is awesome too!

@Daeus: I thank you… *dramatic curtsy* It was one of the few books that actually made me cry while reading. *sigh* It’s been years since I’ve read it. Too long… I’m started to crave it again. 🙂

Yes, I agree with them, @vanna. Except I don’t think I get a whole 30 minutes though, @hope… maybe I do though 😛 It could just be that someone always replies within a half hour and I just don’t pay attention. Haha!

Yes, Bluejay’s right on that, @vanna… 🙂

@kate-flournoy 108 chapters left to go? Oh dear… 😉 And I thought correcting fifty some chapters took awhile.

You know you’re a writer when you lay in bed at night and can’t decide if you want to mull over a retelling of Robin Hood for a family movie, or a retelling of a fairy tale for your novella…

Yes…I think it’s half an hour and then you can’t edit the post anymore. I’m not sure why it’s like that, but it is.

Yes! 😀 Because who doesn’t love her, right? Poor old woman… she had so many children… *sigh*

You know you’re a writer when your sister asks you for a quick hug and you tease her by saying (as the hug continues) “This isn’t a quick hug, this a medium hug. Oh now it’s a long hug, now it’s a novel hug.” 🙂

@faithdk Alright. I’ll fit her in there somewhere. 🙂
