Welcome to KP @Valtmy! Always good to have another INTJ around. We have quite a few, and what’s more, quite a few female ones, for all their being as rare as unicorns. 😉 The writer life must be good to them. Or something like that.

@daughteroftheking “Long live bacon” ? *dies* 😅 Though I do happen to prefer sausage… 😉 

Now you’ve got me curious about the plot.

@valtmy Howdy! Me and my assistant, Aberdeen the Authorosarus (he’s an ink-drinking, book-eating dinosaur) greet you! 🦖

What are your favorite things to bake? I love making double chocolate cookies, cinnamon rolls, muffins, and scones. 🙂

@valtmy You’re a world traveler! That’s cool. 😀 What were you studying in London?

What’s the story behind your username?

@ingridrd AGH! I know, so many forgotten ideas. It’s torture, really.

@sleepwalkingMK “They’re writers.” XD Yes, I’ve had to do that once. Somebody was asking someone else a whole lot of questions, and I just looked at him and said, “We’re writers.”

“Aahhhh…”

@ingridrd *absent whistling*

You know you’re a writer when you don’t want to become a certain way because it’s cliche.

You know you’re a writer when you have dreams about your characters.

@pickupyourpenandwrite Just a note of encouragement. Rewriting/doing major revisions may be a tough process, but it will teach you A TON and leave you feeling a much more confident writer afterward.

@daughteroftheking @ingridrd @jessi-rae Thanks! 😊

@dragon-Snapper Thanks! I’ll be happy to grant that wish, as soon as I get it written (but that could be a long wait 😅).

Oh! Neat, I like the quote! What’s the name of this character? 🙂

You know you’re a writer when you haven’t written in your novel for a few days, and your walking around the house, saying, “Boy, I miss ___”

Then you stop…and say, “Oh wait, he doesn’t exist.”

@gracie-girl can tell you a lot about J/P. It’s really cool stuff.

@naomijackson I don’t think it’s best to just insert chapter breaks wherever there is a cliffhanger. You want chapters to be fairly similar in length with just a handfull of short and long ones thrown in there. I believe writing chapter breaks in the first draft helps me craft nice chapter breaks and more cliffhangers because I’m planning for the…[Read more]

@mariposa Oohhh… I wish to read this novel.

Here’s one I just made for a character in the third book of my trilogy. He’s eight.

@GracieGirl Coolness.

YES I love Mere Christianity. *flails* I’m glad you’re reading it. Have you read The Screwtape Letters too?
I’m reading a true WWII rescue account called The Forgotten 500 right now. It’s pretty cool. In the fiction realm, one of the things I’ve read recently which I liked quite a bit was the Mysterious Benedict Society…[Read more]

@Aviantrail Welcome to KP! That’s cool you’re Captain America. He’s an ISFJ too. 😉 And also, *whispers* you definitely should read more of the Scarlet Pimpernel books.

@Kaya-Young Welcome to KP, and I adore your signature. ‘I adore spontaneity, providing it is carefully planned.’  Perfect.

@rochellaine I’ve never thought about this before. I’ve always just had the chapter breaks right from the start. I assumed that’s how everyone did it. I suppose it’s not a big deal, but it does work well for me how I do it. It helps me plan chapter breaks well and gives me an added sense of completion when I finish a chapter.

*stalks this topic*

Here’s a collage from the 2nd book in my dinosaur series:

@daughteroftheking Cool! I love all the clocks!

@ingridrd Neat quote!

@mnvalentine It depends a bit on what you consider “action”. If action is battles and desperate plots, no novel actually needs those and you can bring them in at any point in your story. If action to you means confrontation, which I think is a good synonym, perhaps you do need the action to come in earlier, though it depends on how long your book…[Read more]
