You’re right @Daeus… I really should remember that… *hides head in hands, sniffles loudly* BUT I HAVE SO MUCH I NEED TO WRITE AND IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE SO LITTLE TIME IN WHICH TO DO IT!!! *sniffles even louder, bursts into tears*…

…*crocodile tears*

Or should I say *dragon tears*?

Hm… somehow it doesn’t have the same ring to it… 😛

Oh, and @vanna Beryn does sound like a piece of mischievous trouble as a character. Best of luck with getting him to behave! 😀

My characters tend to become real to me so I can talk about them forever.

@Adry_Grace you are most definitely not the only one. 😀

@Daeus Drake sounds amazing. The stupid, foolhardy, dashing characters are sometimes the most lovable. 🙂

Another character I had who changed (kind of) in the middle of the story was a spoiled, snot-nosed prince who had literally zero spine and horrifying amounts of… hem… self esteem. I didn’t think he had the guts, but halfway through he…[Read more]

*happy sigh* I don’t know about you, but I love climaxes no matter how long or short they are. It’s so nice when they’re done. 😉

@Daeus

@Daeus awesome. Believe it or not, the climax for my current story actually spanned about five chapters. 😛 So you’re off to a good, manageable start… which is something I struggle with. 😉 I tend to bite off more than I can chew, then spend enormous amounts of time fixing it up and streamlining it.

@Daeus awesome. Believe it or not, the climax for my current story actually spanned about five chapters. 😛

@Daeus 1,031 words. Did you finish outlining your chapter?

All right, I think I’ll be good till then as well. 🙂 See ya! @Daeus

Okay… 8:00 @Daeus? I just need to know that someone else is working with me, otherwise I’ll get distracted and not get much done, so it doesn’t really matter what you’re doing. 🙂

Luck dust? Hey, I didn’t know there was such a thing. How handy! 😛

@Daeus

I’m writing… @Daeus @Faithdk @Spradlin @Vanna @anyone-else…

@hope Yeshhhh… it’s going to be interesting. 😛 The goal is to cut it down to below a hundred by the time I’m done rewriting, but who knows if that’ll pan out.

And I thought rewriting my novella took a while. Wow!

@Daeus wish me luck. You don’t get it until I’m done… 😉

@hope Yeshhhh… it’s going to be interesting. 😛 The goal is to cut it down to below a hundred by the time I’m done rewriting, but who knows if that’ll pan out.

Ooh yes… this happened to me with a minor character @vanna.
I literally had zero inkling he existed when I started the book— then I realized I’d need someone to fill the role of a judge, and when I walked in on his first scene he blew me away. He’s one of the deepest, subtlest, most complex characters in the story, and I didn’t even know he…[Read more]

Oh— and HUZZAH!!!!!!

Wow, this is the fastest growing topic I’ve seen for some time! 😛 Three pages already!

@vanna I write fantasy, and in the future sci-fi. 🙂 I also do more of the medieval stuff, and this is really weird but I’m also working on drawing setting inspiration from cultures besides Medieval Europe! What a small world it is!
Let’s see, as of right now…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you imagine your characters in a scene, subconsciously copy their facial expression, and then have your family ask why you’re angry, sad, ect.

This. So. Much. This. @Vanna I do that when I’m reading, too. 😀

You know you’re a writer when you read about a move in a fight scene, think it might be unrealistic, and…[Read more]

Augh! We were posting at the same time, @Daeus. 😛

Welcome to KP, @Vanna! The bestistist place on the internet! I love your name, by the way. Is it a pen name, or really yours?

Wow, we sound really similar in our interests! What kind of fantasy do you write— more like wonderful medieval/LotR stuff, or the really awesome, really weird, really… weird portal/time-travel/science-y stuff? I love…[Read more]
