Right-o. I gets that. I’ jess sparks my soul, ya know, da way ya put that?

@Daeus Guess I’ve just been spending lots of time around kewel people. 😛 And of course that’s the only proper way to talk! Who would dare suggest otherwise?

@Daeus no, she’s talking like I do not-online. XD

@emma-flournoy What happened to you? All of a sudden you’re talking like me. I mean, of course, that’s the only proper way to do it, but are you alright?

@dragon-snapper Yay, hooks! I love hooks! There are several types of them:

1.) Raising a question (as other people have mentioned, I think). I think this one pretty much explains itself.

2.) Creating a vivid character. If you start with an interesting or unusual character, people will be intrigued by them and keep going.

3.) Unexpectedness.…[Read more]

@Leumeister Wul have fun!

O dear, I’ve really gotta learn to notice when there’s a second page. I miss posts I should read before I make mine. Sorry dahling, didn’t know you’d already answered his post. 😛 @Kate-Flournoy

@Kate-Flournoy Such affability…and…condescension!

*unmuffled chuckles* I know. I figured that’s what you meant. 😛 It is true. You have so thematically enriched my life, O Great Teacher.

@Daeus This one: ‘Wind howled through the night, carrying a scent that would change the world.’ And then ‘A tall Shade lifted his head and sniffed the…[Read more]

Every day? Heh… no pressure. 😛

Really now? I should keep coming up with ideas then. Just think, if I came up with ideas like this one every day until I was eighty, imagine how rich I’d be when I turned eighty-one!

@Daeus someday you are going to be a billionaire. 😛

This just gave me an idea for a website. What if there were a site where readers could go and vote on book ideas that they would like to see written? Readers could create an account and then select different types of writing they like. Writers could then log in with their story ideas and categorize them under the reader groups they think their…[Read more]

@Timothy-Young well good for you, because now that I think of it I couldn’t really care less what people think so long as I was happy with it. 😛 Guess I won’t get much business that way, will I? 😉

This is… interesting. I definitely see how it could be of some value if you’re desperate for ideas.

@Daeus hm… maybe it’s not so much the wording or actual point that needs changing up, but the perspective? When you just describe the plot, @Mark-Kamibaya‘s right— it does mirror TCoMC very closely. But it’s not the plot that makes the story unique. No truly good story should have to stand only on its plot. That would be pathetic. *chuckles*…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya Well, it is kinda a revamped Monte Cristo, but I don’t think I’d say so. TCOMC is definitely the closest book I can think to it, but pretty much everything that happens is significantly different, the MCs are very different, and the last part is especially different. It’s just the overall feel of the novel which is very similar.…[Read more]
