@bluejay Is it a thinking cat? Might it have got another pet that could help it escape to form a plot with her?

@DAEUS NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! NOT THAT AGAIN!!!! WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU DOING TOUCHING THE PAPER? AFRAID I WOULDN’T GIVE IT BACK TO YOU OR SOMETHING???

AAAAAHH! My hand! Watch where you slam things @kate-flournoy.

Heeheehee… nice @hannah-c. Very nice. Very happy to be of service. 😀

Ahem… because I’m picky, let me improve on your second example a bit…

“Guru approved!” Kate slammed the stamp down on the paper, grimacing as a nearby inkwell skittered across the table with the impact and crashed to the floor.’

Hm… is it an old house? The cat could slip down a loose grate into the basement and worm its way out from there… or it could squeeze through a mouse hole (a large one, obviously! 😛 ). Or maybe there was a hole in the screen door, and the outer door wasn’t shut properly… Or it could find its way up into the attic and somehow wriggle out a…[Read more]

Good example @hannah-c. Kate’s approval showed us a little about her, but her stamping showed us more.

@vanna Well, I’m actually on the third to last chapter. I’m hoping I can finish it and give it the first round of editing by sometime in July then tidy it up some more and hopefully get it published before the end of the year.

The complicated plot has been – well, complicated, but it can be good to stretch yourself.

@Daeus drat. I thought I was going to be the first in human history to be teleported through the internet.

@kate-flournoy No, I think it only works if you press command T. Try getting a mac.

*stares contemplatively at post, drops eyes to keyboard* Hm… let’s see… *tentatively presses Ctrl, squeezes eyes shut and jabs T with index finger*

Am I teleported yet???!

@Daeus

Will be writing for about an hour. Tag me if you can join in.

@vanna Yeah, I just wish all my characters could be that unique. The books called Edwin Brook – That’s my MC’s name. It’s got a deep plot. I probably bit off more than I could chew when I started, but I think I can handle it now.

@the-happy-bookaholic What in the world is forum shiping? Don’t tell me technology is now allowing teleportation via the-the internet?

@the-happy-bookaholic I’m not one hundred percent sure I quite got what you meant there, but it made me laugh so hard… 😀

And now that you mention it, she did use speaker tags quite well. Good for her— do I see a future authoress??? 🙂

Oh, and it’s interesting too, because the girl he rescued also changed as soon as he arrived on the scene. Before, she had been a bit vague and I had doubts whether she might end up as a cliche. She seemed too quiet at times, but after Drake appeared, I saw that she was strong willed as well as perceptive as well as somewhat meek (which is an…[Read more]

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

@kate-flournoy Well, what it means is that if you take a little time in between your writing bursts to make sure what you are about to write is trim, lean, and mean, you will save yourself a lot of time in the long run, though you will have to take some pauses in between your writing.

In the original fencing…[Read more]

*stares at post with puzzled frown*

Wait.

What? 😛

@Daeus

@kate-flournoy Well, that’s the point. Smooth is fast.

Now for me, nothing’s fast, but at least I’m faster than I could be by being slower.
