@shannon  I don’t know about you, but when I first think of a character, I think of a face/name…and something about them that is weird.  That really helps to get the creative juices flowing a little bit.

When you are actually writing characters, don’t.  Make.  Them.  Perfect.  Make them real.  Make them relatable.  Give them a problem and/or…[Read more]

@dekreel  That’s great news!  Congratulations!  *shakes your hand vigorously*

(And I must echo @dragon-snapper‘s question because I am just as curious…don’t feel obligated to put me into the story but…maybe?)

@dragon-snapper  You got mine.  That one was kinda easy.  😉

I’ve got one.

Jaclyn Fallows’ world has a history of turning upside down.

Like when she was suddenly able to create a small blue flame in the palm of her hand on her eighth birthday.  Or when she started having the same dream about the sister who vanished without a trace two years ago.

@daeus  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Wow, that flows so much better…I’m gonna rewrite it, using your tips.  🙂

I actually need to skedaddle myself…farewell!

(And to answer your question @shannon, I am not a “coffee hater” but I don’t drink coffee.  However, I absolutely adore coffee ice cream…especially Haagen Dazs.

Here is the new and (hopefully) improved version.

Fifteen-year-old Jaclyn Fallows’ world has been turned upside down—again.  That is about the only part of her miserable life she can understand.  The rest of it?  Not so much.  Sh…[Read more]

@shannon Howdy, friend!  *shovels ice cream into mouth*  *sighs happily*

@winter-rose  Substitute is the name.  🙂  I actually just posted the synopsis here if you want to read it.  🙂

What about you?

@winter-rose  Sorry, didn’t see your post until now.  I’m writing my WIP…sort of.  😉  I’m doing other things in between spurts of inspiration.

@emily  Byee!

@supermonkey42  Thanks for the feedback.  Ugh.  That grammar gets me every time.  🙂  And yeah, I thought about what you said about the whole other world thing, but it doesn’t give too too much away so I’m gonna keep it.  Thanks again!  🙂

@winter-rose  Here I am!  😉

@winter-rose  Party-crashers are always welcome.

@emily  Yes, the one I wrote the synopsis for.  😉  My goal is to finish the first draft by Christmas.

@shannon  Gotcha.  Thank you muchly, ma’am.
