Great points, @Ethryndal.

@DelightinLife everything @Daeus said. 😛

I will add that you probably shouldn’t worry too much about developing your own voice, because it will develop by itself as you grow in confidence and knowledge. Especially if you focus in on the more nitty gritty aspects of writing, like the prose itself— what makes prose delightful and engaging; what…[Read more]

@DelightinLife wow… that is an impossible question. :”D

Top three favorite books… Well, I’m going to go with stories because one’s a trilogy. *winkwink* Les Miserables,…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 aha. My mistake. 😉

@Daeus that’s awful. I will definitely be praying.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 ooooh, I love it! Very nice. It could almost be a poem if you rearranged it. 😀

One thing— plot hole alert. If the Warden created the gene, how old is he for there to be really, really old people in the prison? Or were they not inheritors of the gene, but the first experiments?

@Emily-D wow… what an enormous question. 😛

Lemme take a stab at answering it coherently. First step, I would say, is figuring out the contradictions of your character.
For instance, everyone has something that they want. For the sake of conversation, let’s say I want pie. But then, everyone also has something that they need— and most of…[Read more]

@Anne-of-Lothlorien the first is beautiful and the second hilarious. XD

@Anne-of-Lothlorien what @Daeus said. 😛

@AnneofLothlorien what @Daeus said. 😛

@That_Writer_Girl_99 in general. I know I sort of left you hanging in the middle of a brainstorming session, and we were going to do that character exercise thing too, and I still want to do that. I just wanted to let you know I hadn’t disappeared off the face of the earth. ;P

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’m not ignoring you, I promise. 😛 Life got really busy. I’m helping my little brother sell some of his hand made walking sticks at a festival and also selling some jewelry I made, and making more, on top of every-day busy-ness with everything else our family does. Things should slow down by next week though.

Just fyi. 😉

@LifeOfKatie *grins* I look forward to seeing you around. 😉

Wait. Are you for real? We’re a stereotype? There’s nothing stereotypical about writing fiction…

@That_Writer_Girl_99 *grins* Chill. I’m totally teasing. It’s just that the stereotypical career choice of an INFP, according to popular consensus in the MBTI community, is writing fiction. That, or poetry. Which I love. 😉 SO I guess that makes…[Read more]

@LifeOfKatie heyyyyyy!! Welcome! I also had no idea you wrote, and which is just unpardonable of me as a six year friend, isn’t it? 😛 Glad to see you on KP. 😉 Lots of encouragement and stuff here.

@Jess-Penrose DID SOMEONE SAY MBTI. 😮 XD
AHEM. Yes. Well… in summary, I love Myers Briggs because I think people are downright fascinating and I love the insight it gives you into people’s minds. I love it just for that, but it’s also really helpful with characterization if you understand it properly. And hey! I’m an INFP as well. *grins*…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’m headed over to the brainstorming doc.

@Jess-Penrose oh ha! XD Tabasco sauce is a really, really spicy hot sauce. If you look at my avatar it’s a baby dragon with Tabasco for his bottle. I don’t like it but I adore the thought of a baby dragon growing on it. :”D

@That_Writer_Girl_99 welcome. Enjoy your new claws and don’t incinerate your laptop.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 fire away. Pun intended. lol XD
