Joy

@daeus 😀 😀 That would prove to be a bit of a problem.

@seekjustice I can see there’s only one thing to be done here.

*melts chair*

*grins* Thanks for giving me the excuse. I haven’t melted one of those in a while.

Aaaanyway, that is all right. I totally understand when life hits you hard–happened to me recently. If you want, you could probably be a charlie/delta reader for the later drafts of…[Read more]

<3 You all are awesome.

@ethryndal Thanks for being my buddy back. I think you’re epic. I have to meet you someday in person. Thanks for making me laugh every time I read a post, on here or over on the Sarcastic Elf. I can always tell what day of the week it is by how many days it is until you post again. 😛

@jenwriter17 *resists melting…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong *is late because she is not Gandalf*

XD Eventually… I have to finish editing the first book first.

@Waterlily @Daeus whaaaa…? You want me to sum up my WiP? Wow…

XD

Okay. Here goes.

The premise sounds pretty typical come to think of it. Harold is the second son of a king, and when he was nine years old he met a weird stranger in the streets of his father’s city and was subsequently cursed with the ability to generate and manipulate fire.…[Read more]

Tagging @Ethryndal for gracing us all with her dazzling wit and making us all laugh with her snazz and sarcasm. Every forum needs a sarcastic elf.

@Joy perfect! So glad it was helpful. 😀

@jane-maree @cindygreen Thanks so much!

@daughteroftheking Aren’t all writers secretly time travelers? 😉

@christi-eaton Thanks! (Also, side-note, I’m finally “officially” joining you in the theater department- I’m playing Mother Gothel in a brief comedy sketch with some friends for a 4-H competition 😀 )

@aratrea *grins* I’m glad you liked it! And change definitely gives a new…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking Thanks!

Also, maybe I should clarify that he’s not leaving leaving… mainly he’s stepping down from editor-in-chief; he’ll still be on the forum sometimes. There’s a post about it on the main KP website. 😉

@reaganramm Wow! Thanks so much! This is infinitely helpful! I was wondering about this because I read an article about someone who said never to talk about your novel before publishing it because it would make the book jaded whenever it came out, but now I think that article was probably wrong. XD 😛

Well, I knew I wanted to publish before I go…[Read more]

@dekreel XD I figured.

@dekreel Lol. You just tagged yourself. 😛

@sam-kowal 😀 Thanks!  Go eat the pancakes and cinnamon rolls. (Stop it, you’re making me hungry too.) 😛

@ethryndal @daeus @winter-rose @jenwriter17 @sam-kowal @jane-maree @audrey-caylin Hey guys! I revamped my blog, if you wanted to check out the new design. 🙂

(And Audrey, I also redid my blog button, if you could update that too. 😀 Thanks! )

@skredder Woah. That’s awesome!

@Sam-Kowal ha! Well, remind me, and I will. ;P

And YES. Depth is everything. If you can boil your entire world down to a single deep, resonant core story/concept, so much the better for you. Hard to stress enough how important that is. Focus on what you have and make it so magical you don’t have to go look for other things to distract you.

@reaganramm

Another question.

I was wondering what your thoughts were on talking and sharing about your novel before it’s published? If you’re planning to get published within the next few years, should your novel facts and characters and everything else go incognito?

For example, if I were to talk about my novel on my blog, would that be…[Read more]
