What do you all do when you get a new story idea? Or an addition to your story that you think will be awesome! Do you sit at your computer for endless hours, or do you brainstorm on it? Do you jump up and down and shout it on the mountaintops (by that, I mean, tell your siblings how awesome it will be) or do you sit quietly and do an evil chuckle…[Read more]

@the-bean Pretty much. They were all horrified. I’m lucky I have fire-proof scales.

@the-bean Well, actually, I am a dragon myself. I don’t snap the dragons…It’s a long story (sort of) that will remain under wraps. And either way, I can’t get close enough to the other dragons. They don’t like me for turning to the writing side of things. 😀

@kate-flournoy I wrote about a page of notes and found out some interesting things about climate. 😀 Research.
@the-bean @hope I’m still going if either of you are.

@kate-flournoy @the-bean @hope I’ll join you.
p.s. I’m researching and story planning, as well as brainstorming, not exactly writing yet.

Ah, those are stress balls.

@hannah-krynicki
Sorry it’s taken me so long to respond! Life has been crazy. 🙂
Anyway, I can definitely ask my British friends. In the mean time, I’d be happy to try to answer any questions you ask, but if I can’t answer them, I’ll definitely try to hook you up with them. 🙂

Writing tonight?

Okay so I’m very late. Very, VERY late.
But, all the same, I wanted to say WELCOME @ethryndal to the bestistest place on the internet (I have no doubt that you’ve heard that phrase before)! 😉
There will be no judging of insanity here, as we’re all insane, too. 😛 You’re bound to fit in quite well here.
Also, TOLKIEN! YES! TOLKIEN IS…Well,…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm
Sing it to yourself, or someone else. Just like writing, you should read it out loud. Switch words around so they fit the meter you’re singing.

@anne-of-lothlorien @writefury @sleepwalkingMK @his-instrument @ethryndal Oh, first person. For some reason, my writing really only seems successful when I write in that person. Third person is another thing altogether. I find it insanely difficult. I can’t believe I’m asking this but, any tips???

@the-bean I know exactly what you mean.

You know you’re a writer when cutting an onion turns into a tearful drama.

@the-bean I know exactly what you mean.

You know you’re a writer when cutting an onion turns into an epic drama.

@emma-flournoy Yep, I learned it from the map, and spent lots of time studying and practicing it. I have the alphabet memorized now.

@bluejay @kate-flournoy @daeus @jess @winter-rose @overcomer Anybody writing tonight?

@hope AAAAHHHHH!!!! I can’t wait till I get a sword! *my preciouss*

I’ve got 8 of the little things running around the house, so I’m open to whatever questions you have. *bows* Fire away!

@emma-flournoy Actually, I used the Hobbit. The Return of the King version is a more modern version of dwarvish. The Hobbit is the older tongue.
@ethryndal Only the runes. I don’t know how to pronounce anything… but maybe I should learn.

Sorry, forgot to tag you @Anne-of-Lothlorien!

Another book written from the view of a nine to ten year old is To Kill a Mockingbird. It specifically shows the innocence, wisdom, and attitude of a young girl.

Something I find hard to remember is that the littler the child the harder it is to tactfully explain hard subjects, and the older we get the more “foreign” vocabulary we use. For…[Read more]
