Hi @joy!

I’ll answer your questions just like Snapper did.

How does it end? @emily

HA! *grins*

I despise outlining. Writing to me is about freedom, and outlining…well, outlining and I just don’t get along. But I’ve come to terms with that and it’s okay.

Here’s what I’d do. Take out a piece of notebook paper. Grab a pen. And write the story down. All of it, every detail. Even if you know for a fact that a detail is minute…[Read more]

Haha, I’ve done this before. Sometimes all you need is a goal. What’s your story trying to say? What message are you trying to get across to your readers? Writing with those questions in mind can add a lot of depth to your story.

Yeah. I don’t have anywhere to put it outside of KP, so it would stay within this realm. @dragon-Snapper

Welcome @majerot KP is great and I’m sure you’re gonna love it here. 😉

Have you ever tried writing stories?

A few thoughts: Editing is a natural part of writing. It’s necessary. Sometimes it’s annoying, and sometimes it’s hard, but it’s a necessary part of our craft. Fear not. It will be better in the end.

On remembering details: Write it down. All of it. Write it down, even if you know it’ll change later. Write it down in order to…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I’m not stealing your idea, don’t worry. But yeah. On another thread. Probably.

@northerner Haha, cool. I can work with that.

@ethryndal …wow. That’s… how much BBC tv do you watch, anyway? *snorts* I can work with that.

@northerner Haha, cool. I can work with that.

@ethrynal …wow. That’s… how much BBC tv do you watch, anyway? *snorts* I can work with that.

@seekjustice Okay, cool. Thanks!

@salome01w4g Awesome. That works!

@graciegirl Haha, yes. You can teleport!

Got it. Thanks! @mariposa

@mariposa Ah, yes, Aberdeen. That’s the dinosaur, right? What species dinosaur is your companion?

@bethanysinkyroses *dies laughing* Yes, if I ever have a question about mushrooms, I shall consult you.

@jane-maree A mimic? That is awesome. Just what I needed.

Mint as in…the flavor? I hate it too. @mariposa

Aha. Good point @shannon

My goodness. I wasn’t expecting to be so moved by your story @seekjustice, it’s very good!

There’s a couple of tiny edits I’d like to suggest, but the document is currently set in “view only”–if you change it so that I can comment, I’ll be able to leave those suggestions on the doc and you can decide for yourself if you want to keep them.…[Read more]

Always interesting indeed.

Zikers, I have a headache…I think that’s enough editing for one day.

Cya, @jane-maree!
