*shrugs into huge furry usurper’s cape, swirls it dramatically, scowls at topic and adjusts massive golden crown* Topic— I have come to usurp you.

I guess the most important thing I’ve learned editing my WIP is a little difficult to put into words. The key symptom is over-describing things, but that’s not really the problem. Or rather it is,…[Read more]

@Rolena-hatfield that is lovely! Oh boy, I may take you up on that one… *rubs hands delightedly* Oh, that would be so fun… 😀

@kate-flournoy This topic is officially usurpable.

Signed and sealed, this the year of our lord 2016. (Big fat red seal goes here)

AWESOME TOPIC @DAEUS. I agree one hundred percent with everything you said. Do you mind of I ‘usurp’ 😉 your topic and share some things I’ve learned through editing as well?

@sarah-h You ever read Structuring Your Novel? I bet that would help you. Of course, there are a gazillion books on plot. That’s the only one I’ve read, but it’s pretty good.

Hahahaha… not quite that impressive, I’m afraid. 😉 I will! Thank you for the invitation! 😛 😉

Oh, well there you go! We answered each other. We’ll be trying to do this most every week day, so join in whenever you want

@kate-flournoy Hey hey! Jump right in. How about till 9:15?

@Daeus I am— when do you want to write till?

@bluejay You open tonight?

WELCOME, WELCOME AND THRICE WELCOME, FELLOW WORD-WIELDER! *extends arms dramatically* New additions are always welcome here in the bestistist place on the internet. *glances wryly at previous posts* I see others have preceded me in informing you that this is, in fact, the bestistist place on the internet, but HEY! It can’t hurt you to hear it…[Read more]

Yes @rolena-hatfield, that would be awesome… man… thanks a lot, I so did not need that idea! 😛 Another villain idea for that gem-oriented world would be to have a class of people called ‘hornfels’— a hornfel is what you call a mineral so weathered and beaten that the mineral becomes extremely hard. 😉 Yes, I know; that was a rather obscure…[Read more]

Hi Christi,

So cool that you’re jumping in with us. I like to say this place is really quite bestistest.

So what do you like to write? Short stories, long stories, historical fiction, scifi, fantasy, humor, something even better?

I love Les Mis. You ever listened to the music? Oh, and since it’s also very long and written by a french author,…[Read more]
