@emily-d I don’t think I’ve listened to Celtic Women. I just have one Irish music CD.

I heard the Newsboys once in the God’s Not Dead movie (seen it?), and I really liked them.

@skredder Haha!  Do we realize what being writers does to us?  “She’s torn.  She has come to care for those she once saw as only nightmares of her past.”  We talk in “book blurb” language!  🙂

I found the same thing happening to me when I first started going to law school.  After a year, my speech changed drastically, and I started saying strang…[Read more]

@notawriter Cool.  What type of person do you think Jana Neader is, though?  Is it a hero or heroine, or a sidekick or mentor?  I think it could sound kind of forbidding and be a “dark lord” or something, but could also be sweet and sympathetic.  🙂

@dekreel Those are cool names!  I like Airow, Dae, and Adric a lot!  I was kind of thinking for t…[Read more]

@daeus I’ve heard that people distrust emails with photos, but since I’m an artist and a large portion of my future email list would revolve around art, I’m not sure that would work. As you and Jane Maree suggested, I can always play around until I figure out what works for me and my subscribers. 🙂

…….That was weird……..

TAKE TWO! *claps clapperboard*

Thanks @rochellaine!  I might actually use some of those for my novella! (assuming I ever get back to it……)

Anyway, can I drop in some names, too?

Girls (I got these from a book, mostly)

• Airow
• Aine
• Altair
• Ashe
• Vekka
• Cleo
• Dae
• Dove
• Elke
• Fae
• Faune
• Ginger

@anne-of-lothlorien I actually thought about doing Aberdeen comics for subscribers, but I hadn’t decided for sure.

Oh, I will definitely let you know when my email list is up and running. 🙂 I’m hoping sometime in March or April.

Thanks for your advice, Anne!!! 🙂

@aratrea  Yep, @rochellaine is right! Outside of the topic, before Rochellaine posted, it SAID I posted recently, but my post is gone!

Spam?! Hmmm, that makes sense, actually. It’s happened about three times, and all of those times, I remember that the posts were pretty long. This one was long, too.

If it helps, here is another place where it…[Read more]

@dekreel So that’s what happened! 🙂 I got a notification in my email that you replied to me but when I went to read it I couldn’t find the post!

@aratrea I know it happened to her on my topic Character Name Exchange.

@waterlily That’s great! Which ones do you like best?  I want to know if anyone has the same favorites as I do.

(I actually held back on my favorite of favorites.  I am going to try to use it in one of my own stories, because I love it so much.) 🙂

@gh24682468999

Heh. You tagged me.

Welp, writing short stories is actually really difficult for me. The only thing harder than writing a short story for me is coming up with a character’s name. XD

But I’ll give you what advice I can from the few successful times I’ve written or read short stories.

So, if you do have a big story world, don’t…[Read more]

@waterlily  This does sound like a neat concept! The only thing that doesn’t quite make sense to me is how the seawyrms could have her family crest marked on them? Am I just misunderstanding? Of course, when you go to write this you can definitely explain in better detail. XD

@aratrea Hm, for some reason I thought I’d posted in here. Both my post in the discussion and here somehow aren’t here anymore 😛

I’m not sure I did this right, but here goes.

Theme: Purpose in life/what to live for

Plot goal: To get back home, back to the way it was (the way she wants)

Thematic goal: To help, doing what she can in the…[Read more]

@aella Like what everyone else said, I’d say explain to him story structure in a logical way. Some good ones include Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Monomyth (ignore the movie outline stuff on the link attached) and Blake Snyder’s fifteen “beats” (again, ignoring the film stuff like opening and closing image).

Hero’s…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  Hello again!  😛

I love Irish music too!  Do you like Celtic Women?

I really like Christian Contemporary and Christian Pop.  So, I like a lot of Hillsong and Bethel worship songs.  I also like Lauren Daigle, Britt Nicole, Newsboys, and some of The Afters’ songs.

@dekreel  I really like some of Hollyn’s stuff as well.  And I absolu…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  Hi!  Whoa, whoa, whoooaaa…did you just mention Chuck Black?  He’s one of my favourite authors!   Referring to his latest trilogy, do you mean the Wars of the Realm series?  They are, like, totally epic.  In my top five series 🙂

@livgiordano  Hello!  Sorry I’m late.  I’m homeschooled too.  What do you like learning about in school?  I used to do YWW.  Are you an animal person?  🙂
