It all depends. Are you going 3rd person omniscient or 3rd person limited? Omniscient is more removed, so I’d go with Mr. and Mrs. on that one, whereas 3rd person limited is… well… limited. A close cousin of 1st person. So Mom and Dad if that one.

I think I’ll have to relate with @ivy-rose. My reading speed greatly depends on the book as well. I read way faster when it’s something I enjoy, and I guess that would make sense because you’re more interested to what happens next (obviously). Sorry about your theory, @Daeus 😛 Still, it was a good one…very well thought out. 🙂 …and just…[Read more]

So how should I use this forum? Do you all use it to ask for critiques or ideas or what? 🙂

Well, my brother (reading snail) picks up on the nuances pretty well. But he’s nothing close to being a writer. 😛

The giant boy loomed over the two terrified, shaking, green frogs as they huddled on their last remaining lilypad. An evil smile stretched across his face and his hand tightened on the jar he held as he came in closer.
The smaller frog, unable to look, buried his face against his brother, who stood tall, making a falling attempt at…[Read more]

Yes! You are definitely not alone when it comes to structuring, believe me! 😉

Aw, well did they taste good at least? Haha… We’ve just started milking one of our goats today. It’s been so long since we’ve had goat milk, so I’m excited 🙂

I actually read too fast. I pick up all the details and everything, but I usually want books to last longer than I make them by reading so fast. I have to rein myself in and be sparing, usually. XD My family nickname is “the reading cheetah”. My brother and sister were dubbed the reading snail and moose, respectively.

Welcome to Kingdom Pen, Cahndida! 😀 Always nice to have a new face. And OYANers have quite a bit of a headstart on understanding the KP insanity, so you’re in a good spot. 😛

Oh… I know what sort of a scene you’re talking about. Let’s see. Hope had some good stuff. I’d say, probably uncovering some previously unknown back-reason that the villain has been running with might be a good thing. Maybe study a few book/movie scenes where a similar thing happens?

@faithdk, we have 3 sheep (we had 6, but one died and two became food…) 🙂

@cahndida-serkhaman, Hello! It’s nice to meet you. Welcome to Kingdom Pen!

That’s awesome; I love singing, too! 😉

I read relatively fast…a least compared to my sisters. I don’t know if I read fast compared to the rest of the world. 😛

@bluejay, yeah, I’m the same way. I read fast in my head, but when I’m reading aloud, I always have to slow down. 😉

Greetings 😀

We did have 8 goats (two baby bucks were sold this morning)… so now it’s only 6. And I think we have 7 chickens. Sheep, huh? They sound fun! 🙂 And don’t worry.. ha-ha. (when we started with our goats we didn’t know what we were doing either 😉 ) So, how many sheep do you have then?
@sarah-h
Thank you. 🙂 As far as structure goes, to…[Read more]
