Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic Any Advice for A Soon-To-Be Blogger? in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 3 months ago
@jenwriter17 I’m not sure I’m the best person to offer advice on the subject since I’ve only been blogging since May. I agree with @audrey-Caylin that getting people to read a blog is the hardest part (I’ve been struggling with that myself). Posting about yourself and your life’s happenings is advice I’ve heard on various places (I think that…[Read more]

Snapper replied to the topic Does This Style Make Any Sense? in the forum Short Story Critiques 8 years, 3 months ago
@rochellaine AH! I love the plotline. I really want to know what happens. Like really. Write more now.
The only things I think you need to do is add some paragraph breaks–those make it easier to read. And try to use the word ‘so’ less. It’s alright to use it with this guys style, but a bit less would be better.
It’s also a bit fast-paced. If…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Cliches of Dystopian Novels in the forum Sci-Fi 8 years, 3 months ago
@jenwriter17 I haven’t really read modern dystopia, but I do get the impression that it has lost something it used to have. Namely, all the early dystopias were prophesies. The authors looked at the culture around them and, knowing what they did of mankind, civilization, and technology, they constructed a model of the future that they thought was…[Read more]

Hi,
Since you started two threads on show don’t tell, I immediately thought of you for this. It’s a bit of a big request, but it could be of real benefit to you too.
As you know, I’m working on part 2 of The Show Dont’ tell Course. Well, I’ve now got all the scripts for the lessons and all the homework written. A few people…[Read more]

Do you like to draw?

Yes, the other person we have from England is @theacornman unless I’m wrong. And I am never wrong.
Anywho, back to introduction. *shakes hand wildly* hi hi and doubly hi! Cozy crime sounds interesting–and funny. 😀 What’s your favorite music group?

Ike would rather…
Be painted by a realistic artist–that way his eyes wouldn’t be so big.
Tree, so that no one would sit on him.
Sky-diving, cause at least he can still breath without having to use an oxygen tank.
Learn an instrument, because only servants do cooking. (And Louise, Ike…[Read more]

@Ethryndal That recurve picture looks almost exactly like the recurve we use.
Secondly, you really have researched archery. Impressive. Most impressive.
@That_Writer_Girl_99 *shoves spectacles up on nose quite scholarlyly* I back up what she said. Mostly because my dad’s an archer and several of us amateur archers, so I know at least the basics.…[Read more]

@warrenluther04 Here he is! What do you think?
Cole Avis:

As for your fanfiction, I think it might be okay to post it so long as you credit that it’s based off the Star Wars Universe. 😀 If you still have concerns, I’d ask @aratrea or @daeus about that.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic The Diary Of Nameless in the forum Short Story Critiques 8 years, 3 months ago
@Daeus OK.
@Overcomer If you see an Elizabeth Flournoy on your doc then, that’s me, using one of my sisters’ account because I don’t have one. Just so you’re warned, it’s not an intruding bot or anything. 😉 And since it’s technically yours first, if you want I can wait to beta-read it ’til you’ve already done so, ’cause that’d be totally fine. I…[Read more]
