@catwing I’m on!

@bethanysinkyroses That’s awesome–are there any specific books that come in mind that changed you that you’re open to sharing?

@bethanysinkyroses Fantastic. As much as I do love hitting people with peppermint sticks, an alternate approach seems wiser. 😉

@kate-flournoy If getting a good mentor is possible, I’d definitely seize on the opportunity. Like @his-instrument, I downplayed the importance for a while. Then I found one. And while I currently only have one on the publishing/marketing/business end of things, it’s insanely helpful and is going to help me avoid a lot of pitfalls. If I could find…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Halt’s glaring at me? Uh oh. Please, can you disarm him?

0_o did someone say Interstellar? *vanishes through secret trapdoor under bed ne’er to return* The Gracies is freaked out by that movie, yes they are. Their Dad made the Gracies watch it and now she cannot listen to any Hans Zimmer without shivers.

@Daeus YESS I likey.
*promptly dissolves in a puddle of feelz as she remembers that sorta last line*

@emily-d
My favorite tool is music. Yep. Music. It is that absolute best thing for writing in the world. So inspiring. I think I like music better than the thesaurus and dictionary. Especially epic music. *nods*

@theacornman Ooh, that is a good movie. Love the music! And Tars. Tars is awesome. 😛
@epicaddie2 *warily watches you warily approach Dragon Snapper and do the Hiccup thing* *tries not to melt chair. Ends up sneezing and melting your Ranger’s cloak instead.* Oops. Halt won’t be happy with that, will he?
Wait really? He was your favorite…[Read more]

And @daeus …you probably said what I was going to say except way more organized. Take some of that ice cream.

@emily-d “The Emotion Thesaurus” by Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi (sp?). Really excellent book that gives you all the shortcuts you need to portray emotions effectively through body language and dialogue.

Hey @eleganceismyarrow!

Just so you know, if you can tag me when posting (@aratrea), that will make sure I catch the post. 95% of the time I’ll get notifications w/o it in this forum, but that just makes sure I get the 5% as well. 🙂

Anyways, onto your homework: this is a pretty good starting point for your theme. The Focusing Question is a good…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 @daughteroftheking Licorice?
Ewww….okay. I won’t melt his chair. You’ve got me.
*but not for long*
*turns to cliche side of things*
I’ll be back!

@daeus There’s also, “Who He Was.” Not sure why I thought of that….it could apply to either the MC or the Villain. *more shrugs*

Tagses!

@daeus See above.

Well, with the first one, Time Turns Again, it seems pretty cool, but I like the third one, Time is a Harsh Master…although, I think it might work better as ‘Harsh Master’ instead….*shrugs* Titles.

When you sent me the document you said, “Hi D.G., welcome to my book.” Maybe you should call it ‘My Book’? XD

@epicaddie2 *peeps head in* False Prince? Did someone say the False Prince?

*attacks you with melted chairs and dragonish joy* I LOVE THAT BOOK! *finishes tackling you and lets you stand*
@theacornman Love your profile pic, BTW

@daeus Yes–I forget if I’m using that plugin or a similar one, but I’ll be using something like that on Saturday while I’m working on the changes. 🙂

Update: Web changes have now been finalized for this Saturday, barring any unforeseen difficulties. We’ll be sending out an email later this week, but we’ll be taking the site down Saturday morning and hopefully have the site back up that evening with the new implemented web design.

@kate-flournoy @ethryndal I’ve heard it said once that a book is simply a remix of the dictionary. Les Mis, then, must be the dictionary.

Hey everyone!!! LES MIS IS THE DICTIONARY NOW!
