Kate Flournoy

I really, really love you guys! 🙂

Seriously, this writing community is the best thing that’s ever happened to me as a writer.

@bluejay, that is helpful. 🙂 And your day sounds awesome! It’s steamy hot here.

@daeus , your question hit the nail on the head for me. When I asked myself that question I discovered that what really makes me so…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Thanks. I guess I will send it to you now then. It will only be the first half of the book for now, but I’ll send the second half in a week or so.

@kate-flournoy I wrote 536. I’m starting a new Ernest the gardener mystery. I think I’ll do a series of them.

@kate-flournoy Ok. Good.

@kate-flournoy I’m kinda late myself, but are you writing tonight?

@overcomer *dashes to the rescue* *stumbles over own feet* I’ve written several novels, so let’s see what I can do. *rubs hands and grins*

I like to write chapter by chapter outlines if my work is bigger than a novella. That way you already know how the story is laid out, how it flows, etc. Though even with an outline, don’t worry if parts of…[Read more]

Have any of you ever written a first draft of a novel before? If yes, do you have any advice, suggestions, ideas, encouragement to offer me?

You see, it’s like…[Read more]

@c-c-lane Wow! You hit the nail on the head. Plot is definitely my stronghold. Characters are hit and miss for me and prose something that takes many passes to get right. It’s all getting better though. Just takes time, some degree of planning to the route, and a fierce determination.

@kate-flournoy Forsooth. It doth make my heart sink. I’m…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Always is. *Presses start button* Gotta go.

It’s actually pretty easy, @kate-flournoy. *Tries to explain and fails* *finds quick video instead* Try this. 🙂

And thanks! 🙂

Come’on @daeus , that line is totally classic. Of course, I’ve seen it more times than I can count, so I ought to know it by now.

Nice usage, by the way, @kate-flournoy. Made me 🙂

I got some writing done too, but later than you guys, when I really ought to have been asleep and really wasn’t planning to write at all but was suddenly struck…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Who hasn’t? But then, I don’t seem to remember that.

Lemon juice. I need some of that right now.

@kate-flournoy I got 969 words edited and did some grammatical checks on two chapters.

@kate-flournoy Oh, good. Unfortunately, you may still have a truckload of books arrive at your doorstep on single living, but hey *shrugs* I’m too lazy to cancel the order.

@kate-flournoy Cool. I’m on.

@kate-flournoy. Ha! That so terribly desperate. 😉

Your goal vaguely suggested that any marriage would end your writing career … as sad thought. Made me bite my nails. Now the fact is, I do that anyways … but still.

@bluejay That sounds neat, but like Kate, I’m trying not to take on too much extra writing.

Speaking of which, just how do you plan to write 4-5 books a year, @kate-flournoy? That and, oh dear … you don’t mean … oh dear.
