@dragon-snapper, uuuuuummmmmmmm.

yeah.

I’m not going to be much help with this, cause I do the same thing.

One of the things I’ve found helpful is, like @daeus said, insert hope. Your characters should be driven by their goals.

Unless your MC is like mine, who is just plain hurting and miserable, and kind of takes it out on everyone else.…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart  KP videos… Well I really like the How to Write the Worst ….. Ever series, so definitely watch those. They don’t have to be in order (for the record, my two favorites are Allegory and Dystopian. The former is when the word “Kapeefer” got started)

Sooo… Long story short, it doesn’t matter where you start just WATCH THEM ALL!

@notawriter  Actually he said “mid back,” not mid black X)

@dragon-snapper 😀 😀 😀 Wow.

That is super epic XD.

That’s my official Raspberry Song now.

*walks outside looking for raspberries*

*There’s no raspberries*

@introvert_girl 😀 *wheeeeeee* Stan is super, super thrilled

Okay, so, can Stan fly) Nope. Sadly, because his wings are small and stubby. He can jump very well though.

How big is he) He’s actually gotten smaller over time (sorry, Stan, I know that’s not what you want to hear.) I picture him about the size of a large armchair.

What color is he)…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper If the problem is just that your story seems too dismal, make sure there’s always an element of hope mixed in with the chaos and strive to focus on your characters’ yearnings/ambitions that drive them forward. If you’ve got that all down, I bout your story could be too dismal. Problems tend to intensify stories. It’s only stories…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper 😀

@ashlyvye

@ariella-newheart She has a really draconic, funny way of looking at the world. Stan is a fan of her 😀

@dragon-snapper do you mean on a scene to scene basis, like too much reacting, or just in general when you’re describing emotions? Just having one emotion indicator can help, like if your character is scared, only mentioning her rapid heartbeat rather than her wide eyes, her rapid heartbeat, and her clammy hands.

I think it’s still fine to have…[Read more]

@epicaddie2

That dolphins, dolphins, are the greatest creatures EVER and DO NOT BOTHER DENYING IT

😀 Yes… they’ve always seemed a bit arrogant, haven’t they?

@Dragon-Snapper Is this problem arising in the current story you’re working on, or all of them as a whole? Because child, I’m almost finished reading your book, and I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. If anything, I was going to say that you need to focus more on the emotion, not less. Is this a response from beta-reader feedback, or…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart yeah I run into a lot of INFJs (or similar types) in the writing world. 🙂

@hannah-c HANNAAAAHH! Hi and welcome back!

Ooh, yikes, I’m so glad you’re okay. 🙂

Comical autobiography… that sounds hilarious. 😛 Is it about you?

Up to?

Up to much mischief, my dear friend…

I finished my third novel, working on the fourth now. Also started a blog, the link of which you can find down there in ze signature.

I also…[Read more]

@sam-kowal *cracks knuckles* @daeus I had to tag you too. XD

Challenge accepted. Raspberries. Go.

Frozen Raspberry

Bland,

And the gray of night,

Shivering hands.

No light.

I couldn’t fight,

Tasteless.

I couldn’t write…

Numbness.

Why?

A question…

A question for the sky.

Of this evil infection?

Why the gray,

“HEYYYYYYYYY ARIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!”

Glad to see you’re on here @ariella-newheart!! (sorry in advance that my user-tag is super confusing to type, haha).

Same @lady-iliara, I don’t normally get on KP… it takes two minutes for every page to load… 🙁

@rochellaine Oh, yeah. 😛

I didn’t think so, which is why I stopped at four verses. But now I want to try – it just may take longer.

Hole, thread, cut, sharpen, stone, water, well… Oh, I know, it gets too late to go to the well, so you have to sleep. With what shall I sleep with? With a blanket! There’s a hole in my blanket! XD
