Hello! I’m back to this wonderful pointy topic!

I finally got swords in my novel! Well….they’re practice blunts, but I got to write the word “sword” so I’m pretty happy.

But I don’t know how to teach someone to use it. Has anyone ever written a scene where your MC is taught to use a sword? Because I am rather clueless.

@daeus @warrioroftherealm

@daeus this sounds fun! I would like to do this…but I’d probably just end up fainting and being incoherent about the awesomeness instead of actually analyzing. I do that sometimes. 😉

@supermonkey42 Can’t remember exactly. It was either lack of involvement or I didn’t have enough time.

@supermonkey42 Bye!  Thanks for joining me!

Anyone else still here?

@supermonkey42 Changing from third person to first person in the middle of a story is not the same as changing the name of one of your characters.  That means MAJOR editing work! 😀  You’ve seriously done that?

I have written from several secondary male characters POVs, but never had one as the main character yet.  I’m going to have to learn how…[Read more]

@supermonkey I guess you could call it semi-dystopian?  Or just simply futuristic?

First person or third person?  Is your protagonist a boy or a girl? 😀  I like asking questions.

@jenwriter17 I hope so! 🙂 But I’m never sure.

@supermonkey42 I wrote a book like that once.  It was supposed to be a time travel story, but focusing on the different cultures of the time periods, rather than the science of time travel.  The time travel element ended up taking over the book more than I intended…so it’s technically sci-fi now.  😀  But I set the contemporary parts in 202…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 Cool!  What genre?

I’m doing a his-fic short story I’ve had started for a while, but got discouraged from when I lost about a thousand words.  I was listening to a song today that reminded me of it, so I decided to try again. 🙂

Hellooooo…I’m writing!  Anyone around?

Oya, KaPeeFers! I’m WRITING!

Hopefully.

If I don’t get distracted.

Which I probably will.

Oh well.

@sam-kowal @dragon-snapper @ariella-newheart @dekreel @ingridrd

@dragon-snapper I honestly think it’s perfect. I want to write emotions like that!

But I understand why you might be concerned about an overload of cold cloudy grayness. (I can’t seem to get enough of that in…but then again, I’m not to the gray parts yet….anyway.)

I’ll take some examples from my Aislinn Mollisong: Hero! roleplay for this,…[Read more]

Hello, KeePers and KaPeeFers! So I’ve been…uh….okay, I’ve been stalking this topic. But now I am posting in this art-filled topic!

And yes, there is a reason.

I would like it if someone drew my MC Amber. She has dark brown hair that goes down to her waist and is just the slightest bit wavy. Her eyes are golden/amber-colored, she is rather…[Read more]

Oh, one more question. Do you prefer the ending lines:

“Awestruck to see that in dark the lights dance”

or

“Awestruck to see that in night the lights dance”

???

Thanks everyone! @emma-flournoy @ariella-newheart @rochellaine

I think I’ve got it now. I’ll come back to this a few months from now to see if I can make any small improvements, but I think it’s generally solid. 😀
