@dekreel I’m calling it a night. I hope your brainstorming goes well!

@dekreel yes! I’m sure you could ask him more about it, too. *watches your inspiration gears turn* 😉

@dekreel ooh, a series would be great as well! I know of several authors with large casts who do that.

And yes, I believe he does 😀 I think he’s taken sparring classes before. I know that a while back he wrote a really, really good article on writing realistic sword-fighting.

@dekreel ah, I see. Big casts are hard to wrangle. Let me think…

This might be totally wild and not right, but what about a Kapeefer civil war? Like, one side isn’t necessarily “bad;” it would be more like a capture the flag sort of thing. Like they’re competing for something…maybe to see who will get special sword-fighting lessons from King Daeus? 😉

@dekreel nice xD

Oh, I’m sorry! That can be frustrating 😛 Hm…what was the original premise/plot that you had?

@dekreel hi! I’m writing/jumping around to multiple forums/being on Twitter, so I’ll join xD

@that_writer_girl_99 *stares in awe* Those are so amazing…

@that_writer_girl_99 Do the thing and show us. 😀

@mariposa I like that! 🙂

@that_writer_girl_99 Oh, yes! Absolutely! 😀

Okay. Goals. Resolutions.

I have resolved to get on this topic.
There.

Goals.

• I’d like to finish the sequel of Sector One.
• Edit the second draft of Sector One to make it a third draft.
• Practice writing query letters and synopsyseses…(D.G. That’s not how you spell that… Quiet! *melts chair*)
• Ahem. Also to write Dragonfly Kiwi.

I set an amount of words that I need to write each day. Usually, that’s 1000 words, which can be anywhere from 15 mins of writing to an hour.

To keep from getting distracted, I close out of internet explorers and google, although sometimes that doesn’t work. Just so long as I reach 1000 words a day. (it doesn’t have to be that…[Read more]

@dekreel I’m doing some editing. You still there?

@shannon (for whenever you return… ) @sam-kowal

Even though he was weaker than Dragon-snapper. Tell him that I commiserate with him on that point. No one can defeat her. Unless I can figure out a way to immobilize her in a pile of glitter 😉

Oh, thanks! Stan is super pleased. He knows the pain of the rest of the world, having to submit to…

@dekreel yes. Finish Narnia first 😉

Besides that, C.S. Lewis’ sci-fi trilogy is said to be good (I have the first book but I haven’t begun it yet). Then…
– Ilyon Chronicles, by Jaye L. Knight: great fantasy novels with a historical twist, and with the most tortured character you’ll ever meet.
– Blades of Acktar, by Trish Mingerink: they’re…[Read more]

@dekreel Here-ing.

@inkling-for-christ Ah! Nice topic! 😀

Challenge: Show

Setting: Fell off a tree

Cat watched Dog balance on the branch, wobbling then proceeding to bark every so often.
“When are you going to fall?” Cat asked, licking her paw.
Dog snarled, “You got me into this mess! Help me!”
“Don’t chase me,” Cat said.
Dog bristled, his…[Read more]
