@Alia Wellll…I don’t know calligraphy myself (I wish. It doesn’t look hard at all and I love handwriting, I just haven’t taken time to learn it.), but Kate learned from several different books. I’m pretty sure one of them was just the “manual” of sorts that came with her set, so that was basics at least. Does your set have one? And she went from…[Read more]

@Jenwriter17 Thanks! 😀

Lol. I’m off for lunch too. And I’ll be on later too. Catch you around. 😀

@Jenwriter17 Aw, thanks! 😀 I was scrambling at AM o clock to finish that thing up. 😛 (because I totally forgot yesterday until it was too late. Ah, the joys of blogging)

@jenwriter17 Oh, I know. I wish I had the time and money to go this year, but I think I’ll have to wait to go next year. But this way I have extra time to work on my novel.

@jenwriter17 Hopefully, but you know how publishing is. It’s difficult. But it’s my plan to get published this year or next year, so that I can be published before college.

It’s hard work, but I think I can do it. 😀

@jenwriter17 Me beloved novel. I’ve basically been binge-editing so I can try to get contracted this year. 😀

@Jenwriter17 I’m editing! 😀

@eppicaddie2 I’m actually doing it this time. O.O

Gotta go to dinner! @jenwriter17 @rochellaine

@Jenwriter17 Yep!

@rochellaine Its basically about the art and pictures and music that inspired one of my novels. 😀 It’s a tag.

@rochellaine I’m working on a blog post. 😀

@notawriter Yep. Especially since I get to melt @daeus ‘ throne when I’m done with it. *eats his frozen raspberries and ice cream too*
😛

@notawriter 🙂 *sits regally on @daeus ‘ throne and looks very wise*

@rochellaine That’s awesome! 😀 I love my sounding-boards.

@notawriter Well, I begin by doing it in my head, then I start to write down those ideas all at once. Usually, it’s a big jumble of scenes, and I organize them later.
Oh goodness, all the time. I made the mistake a year ago by writing a trilogy without planning the whole thing out first. So a few months ago, I had two finished books, and…[Read more]

@kaymart I like the questions you brought up in this piece. About Ruth’s character. What might be in the shed, and what it was doing in there in the first place?
And what would happen to David? 😀
Definitely keep it up!

@notawriter Usually, I brainstorm just by building off that idea. Asking questions in my mind. Adding characters to a concept. Actually, most of it is imagining it as a movie, and what kind of plot twists build off of it. 😛

@seekjustice @rochellaine I’m out now. Editing 1 – 2 chapters. 😀

@seekjustice Oh goodness yes. Editing is not fun when its not going well… Of course, that only makes sense. Lol.
