One of these days.

Random social stranger at a random social function: “Oh, you write books? Cool! What’s your book about?”

Me, randomly trying to function socially: *stilted grin and shivering, nervous laugh* “Here, let me… let me…” *digs out notebook with a triumphant flourish* “I wrote it down!”

XD

@Dragon-snapper

@kate-flournoy And now it’s working. Weird. But I’ll still take that chocolate.

Oh yeah. I would love it if someone said something — not “What’s your book about?” — to “Here’s my email so you can send me the book.” XD But of course…I’d rather not give my email to random strangers.

No thanks.

Yeah. Definitely need more practice. “Hi, mirror.…[Read more]

@that_writer_Girl_99 XD Sorry. I haven’t been on in a while… My brain must be losing its automatic tags.

*takes the best of luck and leaves the melted chairs for everyone else*

@Dragon-Snapper ugh I am so sorry. I have no idea why it does that to you. *offers you conciliatory chocolate*

Yeah… trying to pitch your book on the spur of the moment is torture. Especially if the person is just trying to make conversation and you can tell they really don’t care. And then you walk away from the encounter and think of a dozen…[Read more]

@valtmy Welcome to KP! 😀

@sam-kowal ‘s right. But worry not, I’ve tried to instigate a rebellion myself. XD Even though I’m the one who made @daeus king.

Anyway, randomness aside; I’m Dragon Snapper. Most people here just call me Snapper though, cause why would you have to write down Dragon Snapper EVERY SINGLE TIME. XD

Glad to see another…[Read more]

Okay, sorry about that ‘k’. It was the only thing I could type in before the strange link sent me to @kate-flournoy‘s website. XD

Anyway…

This is a hilarious topic, because yeah, people do kind of look at you strange when you say you’re a writer. “Ah…”

And they ask what your book is about. But the book your writing is a sequel, so you…[Read more]

@mariposa XD Now I have a combination of “Shiny” “Rumor Weed” “Cheeseburger” “The Pirates who don’t do anything” and “Hairbrush” stuck in my head.

Not cool.

@jenwriter17  my most memorable and embarrassing writerly moment will always be the time I had to explain to the chiropractor that my hip was out of place because I slipped on our hardwood floor choreographing a fight scene… he was very nice about it, but the startled, slightly skeptical sidelong look he gave me, and the funny little laugh,…[Read more]

@dekreel

I’M A RUMOR WEED! (also stuck in my head now)

@ingridrd AGH! I know, so many forgotten ideas. It’s torture, really.

@sleepwalkingMK “They’re writers.” XD Yes, I’ve had to do that once. Somebody was asking someone else a whole lot of questions, and I just looked at him and said, “We’re writers.”

“Aahhhh…”

@ingridrd *absent whistling*

You know you’re a writer when you don’t want to become a certain way because it’s cliche.

You know you’re a writer when you have dreams about your characters.

You know you’re a writer when you haven’t written in your novel for a few days, and your walking around the house, saying, “Boy, I miss ___”

Then you stop…and say, “Oh wait, he doesn’t exist.”

@mariposa Oohhh… I wish to read this novel.

Here’s one I just made for a character in the third book of my trilogy. He’s eight.

*stalks this topic*

@Bella-D *salutes* Happy to be of service! 🙂

HIIMAKAPEEFER!
