@xonos-darkgrate Hmm…so how do you know that your poor Asian boy will be your servant forever? Since forever hasn’t happened yet, how do you know how it will play out? You never know, he might find a way to escape from you.

@xonos-darkgrate Yeah, Dekreel gave me the link to that conversation and I read it.
@rochellaine Totally!
Thank you both!

@jenwriter17 Cool.
Nope, no advice. I’ve been looking over the plans you and others have suggested on this thread and thinking that if I ended up joining it’d be sink or swim for me, with a leaning toward sink. 😛 I am so inconsistent in my work! Basically I mean, if I was able to keep up it would be just what I need to be consistent in my wr…[Read more]

@rochellaine I sure am! 😉 I’m not sure when exactly the group would be formed though. I’m still researching how critique groups are run, how online groups meets, familiarizing myself with Google hangouts, etc. Did you have any advice?

You…don’t like Anne of Green Gables???? No. Please, no.
I didn’t understand Anne of Green Gables until I became a writer, but I liked it even before then. But, did you read it before you started writing? If so, why not try it again? (and the rest of the series. 😉 )
POLLYANNA IS AMAZING.
I liked the What Katy Did series, but I don’t rem…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I’m not going to give you a cut and dried answer here, because, like everyone else said, I don’t know if there is a specific answer.
One thing I will say, is that you would probably want to stay away from the curse words which include God’s name. Other curse words can be debatable, and I know that it’s your character saying it and…[Read more]

@seekjustice I usually look up any new musical you mention immediately and listen to at least a few bars, but I can’t right now because I’m waiting in the back while my dad gives a seminar. (I love it when he gives seminars, because I get to sing while people are coming in. 😉 ) So, I’ll just have to ignore the “music” side of it for now and a…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m going back to our old question: Have you listened to any new musicals lately? 😉
@xonos-darkgrate Well, if you’re here now, the normal question is “What are you working on?” to start things out. 🙂 So, are you working on anything at the moment? Research, outlining, planning, brainstorming, or actually writing count. 😉

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #20 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 7 months ago
@seekjustice Hi!! That’s okay. I was too. 😉 How’s it going? I’ve been desperately waiting for someone to be actually writing instead of just planning because I need to have some word wars. My book isn’t progressing, and that’s the best way I can think of to force it to write itself. 😛

I’m on now. I’ll be off and on for a little while, probably.

@jenwriter17 Hey, I saw this topic and realized I never replied to it. 😮
Are you still planning on doing this?

Rochellaine replied to the topic Well I'm back, just not exactly in black. in the forum Start HERE 7 years, 7 months ago
@xonos-darkgrate Hi! I remember seeing you around here, though I don’t believe we’ve ever directly spoken – er – posted to each other before. 😉 You know @dekreel don’t you?
(I have successfully posted a GIF…once…)
Anyway, welcome back to KP. 🙂

@xonos-darkgrate Nope. I’m working torward it though.

@xonos-darkgrate Well, I love history, so research isn’t a chore to me. 🙂
Have you ever finished or published a book?
-
Ariel Ashira replied to the topic Well I'm back, just not exactly in black. in the forum Start HERE 7 years, 7 months ago
@xonos-darkgrate I write mostly historical fiction, but have some ideas for a dystopian. Since I have so many I want to write, I try to just focus on a couple at once.
Do you write book length poems? I write poems, but not book length.

@valtmy @dekreel @kaya-young @seekjustice @jenwriter17
Thank you! This is helpful. I also read an older article Reagan Ramm wrote about cussing in stories, which had some good thoughts.

@xonos-darkgrate Hi! I don’t remember seeing you before. I joined the Kingdom earlier this year, so you probably weren’t around. Glad you are back just the same!
You aren’t alone because I still don’t know how to post a GIF either. 😉
What do you like to write?

@ariel-ashira Everyone’s answers were good, but what Seekjustice said is true. We can give you a bunch of tips and our opinions, but really it’s a matter for your conscience and personal prayer. I hope the answer comes to you soon! 🙂

I have been wondering about the use of swear words in my stories. Â As a Christian, Â is all swearing out of the question? Â Since I write primarily historical fiction, I want my dialog to reflect reality, but I also don’t want to go to far. (An example would be a roman swearing by Jupiter or some other god in his sentences.) Â Any ideas? Â Is ther…[Read more]
