Joy replied to the topic Writing a Fight Scene in the forum Plotting 7 years, 5 months ago
@0-0enyali0-0Â Oooh! That’s a good question! Others might have better answers than me, but let me try…
So it sounds to me like you’re describing every detail of what’s going on in the battle by itself. That tends to sound like a school lecture if you describe a dramatic scene from the outside without looking at how the characters are feeling…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic School Name? in the forum Publishing & Platform 7 years, 5 months ago
@dragon-snapper @shannon @sam-kowal @kate-flournoy Thanks.
Thanks. The one argument in favor of Excelsior is that people don’t have to know what it means right off the bat. I’m not selling the school, I’m just going to sell courses. (Shannon, Excelsior means “onward”. It connotes perseverance and victory.)
That said, I could think of a few…[Read more]

Hi @daeus 😀
Uuuuhhh
You know, I actually really like “Excelsior,” but I kind of agree with @kate-flournoy people might go “huh?”
I have a LONNNGG history with making too-complicated names.
(I once made an imaginary world with over fifty countries, all named things like “Ejapania” and “Exenlite”. I also begged my parents to name one of my…[Read more]

Hi Friends,
I need to come up with a name for a writing school to host my courses under.
I’ve come up with Excelsior Writing School. What do you think? I like it, but I’m not committed to it.
If you have any other suggestions, I’m open to them. 🙂

Hey, friends!
Just wanted to give you lovely people a heads-up that I will be eating lots and lots of pie and stuffing this week with family (aka celebrating the American holiday of Thanksgiving). That being said, I will have little time to keep up with the activity here, though I would very much like to. 🙂 Talk to you soon!

Some of you probably know that I am writing a Doctor Who novella. Well, I need some help. (Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a Whovian XD) There is a giant hole in my plot! So far I have this:
The Thirteenth Doctor needs to solve a riddle given to her by someo…[Read more]

PrincessFoo replied to the topic A Keeper Adventure in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 5 months ago
@dekreel That sounds so cool! For minion ideas, there is also discipline/procrastination, which is my biggest problem. There is also the butterfly syndrome, which I may or may not have made up. (Really. I can’t remember where I found it. I think I heard it from @kate-flournoy) Basically it means not being able to finish a WIP because you find…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy What? Can’t the one who made the King be the Queen herself? XD
@daeus *takes ice cream.* There is always a method to randomity. Except when it comes to Dragon Snapper. In which case, it’s just random. 😛

Elizabeth started the topic Allora Things in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 7 years, 5 months ago
To all who should see this: hello! Welcome to another of Elizabeth’s random threads. This thread pertains to my newest story idea, which is currently running under the title The Chronicles of Allora. It’s not the official title, just a working one. I think it makes my rants, outlines, and crying fits sound cooler. More dramatic.
…anyway. Some o…[Read more]

Elizabeth replied to the topic PRAYER REQUESTS #2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 5 months ago
Hi guys,
Recently, the car I was driving broke down several times (not while I was driving it, thankfully) and we had to give it back to the dealer. What that means is, now I don’t have a car to drive and am currently being driven around by my parents, which is fine, but it’s not the ideal situation, and it’s starting to irritate me. My dad has b…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Oh, Vytanni Throttlenight is one of our friends on Aetherlight. She has a nasty habit of fainting whenever she sees something epic. It’s kind of turned into a thing, and has been termed “pulling a Vytanni”.
