Finally a place to share this thought!

You know you’re a writer when a random sentence in (insert language) class strikes your fancy, so you write a short story instead of finishing your lesson.

For instance:

(.אנחנו הילדים)

Let’s hope I’m not double posting this…

You know others know you’re a writer, when your dad says in front of the whole church “when my girls hear the word ‘character’, they instantly come up with things like backstory and plot.”

And when you added “character arc, weapon choice, world building” under your breath, you know it’s true.

Did Wyoh just…*blinks*

A few George MacDonald quotes:

“Whatever is capable of aspiring, must be troubled that it may wake and aspire–then troubled still, that it may hold fast, be itself, and aspire still.”

(If you love Sir Gibbie…) “Gien I was a Burnie, wadna I rin!”

“For one moment…she fancied she saw the Lord Himself. Another woman might have made a more…[Read more]

Here’s an assortment of quotes from my WIP IFF.

“So, I smiled and waved as any other highly trained operative would do as they pencil dove from the top of a fifty-thousand story river lodge.”

“Who do you think you are, Spiderman?” Master Pinkerton glared at me over his glasses.

I straightened my collar and shrugged. “Actually I prefer James…[Read more]

Who’s turn is it to RP? I think I went last. =)

@theducktator

Hello there, and welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! I’m Koshka, a writer of middle-grade fantasy and spy-fi (if that’s a word), besides the occasional rambling poem. I was homeschooled as you’ll find most of us Keepers are.

(I have yet to write someone I didn’t like into a book, but I have seriously considered it)

Now for the…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Do you want individual scene ideas, or help coming up with them?

Here’s what I’m sort of doing to come up with scenes. I’m using the Save the Cat notecard system for plotting.

For Act II (fun and games) is basically the characters either “winning” or “losing” as their arc decides. So…

What is the big story point you want this a…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Oof, that is a struggle. I’ll see what I can come up with to (hopefully) help.

I have two mixed playlists that I’ll listen to while daydreaming story building, one for each series. They’re basically a mixed up playlist of songs (and a few sound effects) that somehow connected to a character.

So yeah, I probably should organize those more.

Then I have a playlist of just instrumentals that I’ll listen to when I’m writing…[Read more]

*Strangled gargling gasps*

….

Congratulations. You have successfully destroyed every coherent thought in my head.

All I have to say is, Isaiah is wonderful.

*Sniffle*

@smiley @freed_and_redeemed

She’s so cute! And I do believe pretty much every writer’s google search history is special. XD

And sorry y’all, this one took awhile and is kinda long.

“Yes sir.” I shrugged. What else to say? Of course we understood Leon wished to be left to his own devices. His body language stated he would rather be a he…[Read more]

@smiley

Sure! I can’t wait to meet her.

And yeah, groups usually get too big when there are too many authors, not characters. XD

@smiley Poor Eleanor. You sound like you need ice cream. @freed_and_redeemed

Jayson

“Mornin’.” She nodded to the men and flashed a smile at Eleanor. “Good to meet you too.”

Eleanor gave what could have passed for a smile in Siberia. The jitters melted away from Amanda’s step. I guess she saw something I didn’t, something she understood and…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Ahem.

*Whispers* let’s confuse the living daylights out of them, out of them all, shall we?

@freed_and_redeemed

Also, hehe, what year did you pull Leon and Isaiah from for this RP? Because…

Half Raffe’s family is Israeli, and he has dual citizenship. So, is Raffe a citizen of a country that doesn’t even exist yet, or is he part of a really controversial state?

@Smiley

What time did you say Marek and Elenore are from? Cause…[Read more]

The hall went quiet for a moment but for the quiet patter of footsteps. A quiet patter that was practically shuddered in my head due to its sheer volume, or rather lack thereof. I shrugged to Raffe when he glanced my way and kept a faint smile in position.

Beeeeeep.

Great. I casually slapped a hand over my…[Read more]
