Hope Ann replied to the topic Catching Trout in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 9 months ago
I think @kate-flournoy and the others might have already said all this, but my main thought on hooks and first lines is that it needs to present a question. It doesn’t normally ask a question outright, but the question is implied. If the story starts with dialogue, we wonder who is talking. If it says ‘once only God knew the day that you would…[Read more]

I’m sick. Can people please be praying for my recovery? And praying that I don’t vomit either. Thank you in advance. 🙂 🙂 🙂

O dear, I’ve really gotta learn to notice when there’s a second page. I miss posts I should read before I make mine. Sorry dahling, didn’t know you’d already answered his post. 😛 @Kate-Flournoy

@Kate-Flournoy Such affability…and…condescension!
*unmuffled chuckles* I know. I figured that’s what you meant. 😛 It is true. You have so thematically enriched my life, O Great Teacher.
@Daeus This one: ‘Wind howled through the night, carrying a scent that would change the world.’ And then ‘A tall Shade lifted his head and sniffed the…[Read more]

Timothy Young replied to the topic A writing idea. in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 9 months ago
The ideas are definitely hard to treat fairly… But then not all ideas are equal. 🙂
I just tried it with a short story with a group of seven people each one offering three things they wanted in the story. I would say it is nearly impossible to come to twenty-one things that are quite that random, with a pre-existing story…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Attack this, please in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 years, 9 months ago
@mark-kamibaya Well, it is kinda a revamped Monte Cristo, but I don’t think I’d say so. TCOMC is definitely the closest book I can think to it, but pretty much everything that happens is significantly different, the MCs are very different, and the last part is especially different. It’s just the overall feel of the novel which is very similar.…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Yep, still here. My muse though it might come back for this one. New ideas almost always work.

@kate-flournoy Yeah, it’s actually going to be a surprisingly simple chapter.

@kate-flournoy @dragon-snapper Okey dokey. I just realized I don’t have my next chapter planted out, so I’m gonna do that, and I’ll stop whenever it’s done.

@kate-flournoy No, the one about the shade waiting in ambush and the breeze that would change the world.

Daeus replied to the topic Writers' Corner #3 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 9 months ago
@kate-flournoy I’ll try to stop in soon, in which case I’ll probably go later. I may also have to leave abruptly at any time, so I don’t know how this is gonna go.

This has nothing to do with catching trout. No, but it has to do with our hook. The first sentence, page, paragraph, chapter.
I’ve lost he fine art of coming up with a good hook, so, if you all have any tips, that would be most appreciated. In addition, if you have a book that has a great hook/starter sentence, then I would be glad to see those…[Read more] -

Good luck with it 🙂 - Load More
