@kate-flournoy I was writing my name on the paper of course. I write my name on everything.

BlueJay replied to the topic Newsflash: Missing Cat, but how did it escape? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 10 years, 5 months ago
@sarah-h. Nope no cat flap and I didn’t want to do that as in story 2 Chaos gets of the house that way.
@kate-flournoy – Haha yes I have read that book. So had Missy (the cat) so she decided it was safer not too. I like the one about the screen door. That is a big possibility. The house doesn’t have an attic.

More reaction = More flavor.
Example:
“Guru approved!” Kate said.
Vrs.
“Guru approved!” Kate stamped the paper with more force than she intended.

@kate-flournoy No, I think it only works if you press command T. Try getting a mac.

Yesss it’s so cute!!!! Her dialogue is hilarious. I was also quite astounded at the professional use of speaker tags. Some writers haven’t got that perfected yet!
(By the way @Daeus and @Kate-Flournoy am I allowed to forum ship the two of you? Yeah I know it’s silly but honestly the way you two go on here…oh well never mind. My inner…[Read more]

Now personally, I think he’s an idiot, but he’s also incredibly dashing.
@Daeus Ha! That made me laugh. Drake sounds like a great character. Stupid but dashing characters are my favorites. 🙂
@kate-flournoy lol thank goodness. i think i annoy my friends sometimes…

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.
@kate-flournoy Well, what it means is that if you take a little time in between your writing bursts to make sure what you are about to write is trim, lean, and mean, you will save yourself a lot of time in the long run, though you will have to take some pauses in between your writing.
In the original fencing…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Well, that’s the point. Smooth is fast.
Now for me, nothing’s fast, but at least I’m faster than I could be by being slower.

@kate-flournoy
*Shakes hands like Wallace when he sees cheese* Climaxes!I tend to bite off more than I can chew, then spend enormous amounts of time fixing it up and streamlining it.
Hey, you should memorize one of my fencing teacher’s favorite sayings, “Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.”

Daeus replied to the topic Writer's Corner in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 5 months ago
@kate-flournoy *Coughs* well actually, my climax is more like three chapters including the last one. This is the first chapter of the three climatic chapters. From a technical point of view, the next chapter is what actually includes the climatic point, but all three chapter are pretty climatic.
A five chapter climax sounds wonderful.

Daeus replied to the topic Writer's Corner in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 5 months ago
@kate-flournoy Literally just finished. I think this will be my longest chapter yet. It’s kinda the climax so no big surprise.

@Kate-flournoy They certainly can. It’s so neat when they just pop out of nowhere.

Vanna replied to the topic Greetings! in the forum Start HERE 10 years, 5 months ago
It must have something to do with my magnetic personality. 😛
@kate-flournoy Wow! That’s quite a variety! I’d like to try my hand at an Arabian culture sometime. My current WIP is…a bit of a hodgepodge. Something in-between Turkish/Ottoman empire, and Asian. Except the citizens have light hair and eyes with a mediterranean skin tone. 😛
Oh, Huzzah!
