@Jenwriter17 as Elizabeth said, the plot points of writing a movie script is the same as a fiction novel. And as Rochellaine said there’s a lot of different people who take part in the storytelling.

My #1 tip: imagine every single word you write as happening in a movie. If you can see it perfectly in the movie style, then write down the small…[Read more]

@dekreel Amen, sister.

I wonder when I’ll stop doing that. Because I’m always doing it. Sometimes, I make myself higher than others, and sometimes I have to bury my head in a pillow.

*instead of petting you, offers you a non-melted chair*

Just remember, that God made you unique, special and loved. Writing does not become your identity. It’s…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong
Wow… that is a hard life. 😛 One of my characters used to be like that… no wait, there still are some.

(Of course! Once I edit those, but I’ll probably want people who’ve already read the first book. @dekreel You too)

To be totally honest, I almost started crying as I read through this thread. I’ve had a really tough weekend emotionally, doubting everything I’ve been working on with my writing + my future. My mom was talking to another parent about how I “know what I want to do” and up until this past Friday, I thought I did but I somehow ended up going on a…[Read more]

@Dekreel

Hey. Look. I’m not going to say you’re an amazing writer, but I am going to say that if you like writing and if it’s something you enjoy then it’s a gift. It’s a gift from God.

He’s blessed you with that gift and you don’t have to be a higher standard, a better writer, as good as ‘so-and-so’, because He’s given you the gift in exactly…[Read more]

@Daeus Yay! *lemonade and cheesecake for all*

I definitely prefer “Awestruck to see that in dark the lights dance”.

@daeus Thankee. *bows* Well, I tried incorporating small ‘good’ things and it’s been a lot let dismal lately. I think I just let Ike gnaw on dismal’ness’ for too long. XD

@sarah-anson I really like the italicized bit you said there. *nods* I agree. Thanks!

@Daeus

‘Most comely he smiled’ is better

And little Teedletiden he fashioned for the trees
For all of these a city, Letharill, he made
Its glory was established that it should never fade[ I’m unsure about the meter in these last three lines, especially lines 1 and 3.]

Maybe instead: ‘And little Teedletiden he fashioned for trees

For all t…[Read more]

@Daeus Thanks.

Well, you’d better come up with an epic soundtrack for it then. 😉

@Daeus Oh hey, could I have it in a doc too? I was going to do it without one, but that sounds a much more efficient option.

I don’t write poetry, but I certainly appreciate good poetry, especially with good cadence.  That’s my favorite part.

I read through it, and it’s beautiful, and I do have some metrical suggestions.

Also, I feel compelled…[Read more]

@sam-kowal *is honored that you think me a hero in dragondom*

@sam-kowal

To Stan: No, I’m still a dragon. I can still melt chairs. This is just the human me. Worry not, Stan. We’re still dragon friends. *offers you a melted chair*

To Sam: 😛 (XD Still a dragon. Once a dragon, always a dragon.) I wrote 1144, so I’m signing out now. 🙂 Good luck on your new book!

@sam-kowal *nods* XD

Turns to Stan: Why aren’t you talking to Sam? I thought you two were best buds?

@sam-kowal *hands Stan cough medicine* Why, what’s wrong with him?

@sam-kowal Sweet! 😀 I should be on for another 20 minutes or so…

@that_writer_Girl_99 @winter-rose @catwing @skredder @dekreel @jane-maree Anyone on?
