Kathleen replied to the topic How Do Y'all Feel About… in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 3 months ago
I find curse words, jarring, unnecessary, and just brings down the overall enjoyment of the book. Like @jenwriter17 mentioned, I totally don’t mind a book saying “he cursed” especially if that particular character is the kind of person to do so, but I instantly get put off if there’s actual curse words in it. I’m not sure why, but all I…[Read more]

Lin started the topic Writing Software in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 3 months ago
So I’ve been looking at different writing softwares out there…I was wondering which ones you guys use? I’m looking for something free and off the web, and am currently considering Quoll Writer, Atomic Scribbler, and Wavemaker. I’ve been using Microsoft Word and spiral notebooks for a pretty long time, but since I’m planning on writing longer…[Read more]

I am happy to hear that your book is in it’s editing process! that must be so cool. The closest i ever came to publishing is sending my English assignments to my teacher and a draft for a TERRIBLE short story I sent to the teacher of a creative writing course at a local library a few years back.
By the way (this is for the whole…[Read more]

I liked the first book in the space trilogy. It had some pretty interesting worldbuilding. I didn’t read the other two. My older brother told me the third wasn’t good. I don’t know why I didn’t read the second. 😛
Yes, I just found Only the Brave, a musical about the British gliders preparing for the D-Day invasion, and the Fren…[Read more]

I haven’t heard of MaryLu Tyndall, but I just looked her up and her books sound fun. 🙂 Have you read any of Rafael Sabatini’s books or seen any of the old 30s swashbuckling movies?
I’m doing great. 🙂
Have you read any good books lately?

@jenwriter17, I would never take a long time to respond…heh heh heh
I’m glad you got some good feedback
Sadly no, though I have discovered that there is an Ever After musical, so I might hunt down that soundtrack sometime soon. Currently I am still obsessed with Newsies and The Clockmaker’s Daughter. How about you?
@gracie-j well just tag me…[Read more]

@jenwriter17, Cool! Editing is soooo much fun on a tight schedule. You had a professional editor look at it, right?
Thank you! I have both the 1st and 2nd draft open at once, and I realized that already the 2nd draft has a much darker, but more plot appropriate tone to it

here’s the first page of my WIP. thoughts?
Everyone knelt, the white fog weighing heavy around them. Jycin could feel his legs growing stiff in the cool damp air, but he dared not move. They would be coming at any moment and he didn’t have the luxury of playing with fate. He closed eyes and tried to distract himself with thoughts of…

So I’m starting the second draft of my WIP and I’m wondering if the beginning is just over the top?
