Kate Flournoy

@daeus Oh no, you weren’t. We were actually having a conversation. With my brother, he would present his argument, and people would just call him bad names instead of countering with their side. He was making his case pretty well, so this morning the leader called him an “antiscience *bleep*” and banned him from the conversation.

Tagging you all again. 🙂 Does anyone know if the Beast has a name? Or is he just Beast?

@Kate-flournoy Oh look who has wifi! *runs off to type up email* *heads back* And yes, why should I care what people think? I care more about what someone says about my writing than what anyone says about me. 😉

@anne-of-lothlorien Or, simply, the Blade of Surprise. 😀

Hey, @kate-flournoy, this is your territory. *runs all over the internet looking for you* *drags you over here* 😉

@kate-flournoy @daeus I just wanted to say, thank you guys for staying friendly when we were debating a while back. My brother has entangled himself in an evolution debate on a secular forum, and some of the evolutionist commenters are really mean. I’m glad it’s not like that on here.

@dragon-snapper I’d love to write. Sorry I’m a bit late. (@kate-flournoy is away on holiday, so she can’t write.)

@bluejay @winter-rose @timothy-young @clairec @sarah-h @overcomer @kate-flournoy and @daeus (both of you whom I haven’t written with in a while) Do any of you want to write?

I wrote out this long and detailed reply to you all, explaining all the things you were wondering about. And then…I accidentally shut down my computer and lost the whole thing! 🙁 So I’m sorry…[Read more]

@Daeus @kate-flournoy

Yah. I totally get what you’re saying. I actually write everything like a movie. Like it shows everything as it is happening and (unfortunately) I barely enter into my viewpoint character’s mind (something I need to work on). However, once I read the book about showing and telling I really wanted to . . . liberate(?) my…[Read more]

@Julia-r Ah, you found it! Welcome to the writers’ corner, where writers from all over the world find a time when they write at the exact same time to avoid distraction. So, say I asked you to write for an hour, we would write for an hour then meet back here to touch base, see how many words we wrote and compare. It’s more of an accountability…[Read more]

@bluejay @overcomer @kate-flournoy @jess Would anyone like to write for a while?

Hi, @Mark-Kamibaya, good to see you.

You’re right that overviews are essential, but I was arguing that they’re way too easy to overuse and that it’s best to always be critical of them.

To clear up what I was saying in my own novel, I was talking about any place in the novel where I overviewed events as if they happened in the past instead of…[Read more]

Can I add something @Daeus? It’s about overviews. Or summaries. Or telling (instead of showing). After reading Showing & Telling: Learn How to Show & When to Tell for Powerful & Balanced Writing by Laurie Alberts I believe that summaries is rather essential to stories. I know that contradicts “show don’t tell” but hear me out.

You need to use…[Read more]
