@Bluejay Unfortunately, with school starting and everything, I’m going to have to sit this one out. 🙁 And you’ll do great as the club manager, so don’t worry. 😉

@bluejay Yay!!! Golden Star!

Sorry. That’s to @daeus

Another series that I love is called Redwall. It’s fantasy, action, medieval, and for an older age range. Yes, all the characters are woodland animals, but I think it would be a good read for what you’re doing.
There are a lot of Redwall books (23 or so I believe) and there is a vague order, however you need only read one. They do well as a one…[Read more]

I heard the word fantasy…
*Deep calming breaths*
@Daeus I definitely recommend The Two Princesses of Bamarre along side @Christi-eaton and @Bluejay.
And the Wingfeather Saga is amazing.

As for a procedure… well Fantasy is my main writing focus. (I love all the possibilities that come with this genre!) However I am what some call a “Seat of…[Read more]

@daeus ‘You were wise to seek help from the world most deadly weapon. It’s me.’ Golden star to whoever gets that quote. 🙂 I’m looking at you @bluejay.
A procedure…we-ell.
1. World-building. First thing you’re gonna do is make a map of the world you want. Then, you make a profile on each country including major cities and places that have to…[Read more]

@bluejay I wrote 272 words. Not as much as I would have liked, but I did make it to chapter 16. Considering I started the novel only two months ago, that’s pretty good. *looks at chairs and phone, decides to be nice and not melt them*

@clairec: Tbh, that premise probably isn’t enticing enough to make me really want to read a story. I’m a bit confused about what the main plot is and how her service as a nurse connects to destroying the contents of a secret safe. Is this a spy thriller, action adventure, gritty war story, [insert-other-genres-here]? A good premise should be…[Read more]

@Daeus That’s awesome! I’d definitely recommend Lord of the Rings. It’s some of the best fantasy out there. 🙂 Or, if you didn’t want to read the whole series as it’s pretty long, you could read The Hobbit. The Wingfeather Saga is also great fantasy.

@daeus, I see you made it out of that computer alive. 🙂
@kate-flournoy I didn’t do so great, but then again, I was majorly distracted. Grand Total of 91 words. Oy.
@bluejay, did you want to keep writing. I’ll be writing for fifteen more minutes or so, till nine thirty EST>

@jess Aw, it doesn’t sound bad. That actually really inspires me. Thank you. 😀 🙂

Is it too late to join, my friends? @daeus @kate-flournoy

Wow! You guys respond quickly! @lightningmouse, you hit one of the main points why I write. To write what doesn’t exist. Sure, I’m probably not writing about a story with cyberpunk technology, but if something doesn’t exist, it needs to me made.
I heard it once said, “If there a book you want to read, and it hasn’t been written yet, write it.”…[Read more]

Sweet! Sounds good @Lightningmouse

I can’t put my finger on why I write. I agree 100% with @Adry-grace, @Hope-ann, @Daeus, and all the rest of you.

@dragon-snapper
If I didn’t write, my mind would explode with all my ideas. I heard a quote by Ernest Hemingway saying, “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
That’s really all writing is to me. It’s pouring my heart onto paper.
My goal with my writing is to glorify God. Even if I’m never published, I hope…[Read more]
