That turned out well! Good job, guys.
Hey, we could do this with a short story next…

Oh, of course. Always that. XP

You know you’re a writer when you can’t text without using proper grammar.

Gosh, yes! Heaven knows how many times I’ve done this!

I am a very emotional person. I’ve cried over a lot of books over the last year or so. I can’t remember all of them, but here are the most recent:

1. “Rilla of Ingleside”, L.M. Montgomery. @Jada, that part gets me every time.

2. “The Book Thief”, Markus Zusak. It is a depressing book! I was crying constantly in the reading of it.

3. “Unbroken”,…[Read more]

It’s usually my way of winding down from writing a really tense scene.
It works very well. Though my siblings usually wonder why I’m laughing so hard. XD

Ditto Hope. 🙂
Oh, Mr. Batson’s thing reminded me. You guys need this: http://plot-generator.co.uk/

When your little siblings write fanfics of your books

My sibs don’t do that yet. But they play games and were playing multiple games of acting out my stories. Which was totally adorable.

You know you’re a writer when you have to break up a fight between your siblings of who’s going to play the favorite character. 😛

When your little siblings write fanfics of your books

I’ve not really all out cried at a book before. But the Peleg Chronicles made me tear up at a few moments.
I’ve cried at a couple movies, though. Maybe the visuals get me. 😛

@the happy bookaholic
You know you’re a writer when you feel horrible for misspelling something. 😉

LOVE this poem. o_O Wow. Great job, Sarah!
I don’t have a lot to correct, but there’s one line:

rangers in a world abounding with royals,

It’s a good line, but I just think it could be a little better. The start of “rangers in a world…” could be taken a lot of places, and not all authors write medieval fiction. 😛

Now you know the cause of my username. 😛
@hannah w: I’ll be hosting a giveaway on thursday, too. It must be giveaway week. 😉

Wow. Great job, Kate! You had a great rhythm going throughout the whole thing that was really awesome.
I noticed the same part Daeus did, and I think I know what was my problem there.
You kind of have the beat going like “bum BUM bum BUM bum BUM”. Accentuating every other syllable at a pace you can nod your head to.
It sorta broke at the part:…[Read more]

Once again, thank you all for all the helpful replies!

@Rosey: I suppose switching the characters once in a while would work. There’s just one problem with that. She’s alone a lot of the time in the book. There isn’t one constant character with her. She has friends with her in the beginning and end, but in the middle it’s mostly just her. It’s…[Read more]

Don’t make love just HAPPEN. They should like each other for who they are as people BEFORE jumping into all the love stuff. A lot of books skip the “good friends” phase that is almost always there.
It has to make sense with both your characters and what they’ve been proven to do in certain situations. If it doesn’t you’ll just end up ticking off…[Read more]
