Ok. Thanks for the notice @kate-flournoy.

@Daeus I won’t be doing it tonight. Good luck.

@kate-flournoy @anyone-else I’m finally here and going till nine.

Howdy yourself, @Luke-C! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!
And any writing is better than no writing. You’ve laid the foundation; that’s always a start. 😀
Looking forward to seeing you around.

@Daeus there is nothing quite as satisfying as realizing you’ve really helped someone. 😀

No. You didn’t miss a thing. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Wow, I am way late! WELCOME TO THE REALM OF THE KEEPERS OF THE KINGDOM PEN @JULIA-R!!

And… pretty much everything’s been said. 😛 The one piece of advice I can give you as far as discipline goes, is make yourself a writing time and stick to it. I write in the evenings from seven to nine, and all day Saturdays. There’s an awesome thread on this…[Read more]

@julia-r Sure, I’d love to see that line in a book.

@julia-r Hi fellow riter and younger his instrumenter. If you no one’s told you yet, this is the bestistest place on the internet and I can guarantee you it is a great place to grow around more mature writers. It worked for me. *disappears in cloud of pickles*

@Daeus thank you. I feel much safer. 😀

@Anna-Brie Trevelian… is a mess. 😛 You wouldn’t think it to look at his cold, hard exterior, but inside he’s broken to pieces. Which is going to be enormous fun to write. *rubs hands, cackles gleefully*
And I won’t name a character Galbatorix— it’s the name of the villain in Christopher Paolini’s Inheri…[Read more]

Small moderator note. No killing allowed. Thanks for your compliance.

Ooh, great topic @Anna-Brie! I love names. Pretty much what everyone else said in regards to villains, though as in all cases with all things there are exceptions.
As for heroes… well, it depends on what kind of person the hero is. When I think ‘hero’ I usually think ‘noble’, ‘strong’ and ‘complicated’. Don’t ask me why I think complicated. :P…[Read more]

What indicates ‘villain’ or ‘badguy’ for me is ‘r’.
I will use some examples here from Tolkien: Mordor, Sauron, Saruman, Orcs, Trolls, Ring Wraiths. All of these have the ‘r’ in them that you can just roll around on your tongue and make is sound really badguyish.

@his-instrument I’m not really sure I can generalize about that. You might be right, but I wouldn’t be the one to say.

@Daeus no problem. Thanks.

@kate-flournoy. Oh, actually, looks like I have to leave now. Thanks for writing.

@Daeus I’m good with that.

@kate-flournoy How about till 9:15?

@Daeus I got 747 words… do you want to keep going?

@Daeus count me in.
