@Catwing oooh that’s really cool!!

@Catwing Yes @Jess-Penrose is doing NaNo. 🙂

@Winter-Rose I am NaNoing also! I got 8k on the first day, and I’m hoping to get up to 15k by the end of day two, but we shall see…

@daughteroftheking @jane-maree @perfectfifths Yeah, he’s got a serious gift. 😀

@supermonkey42 Welcome to KP!
Good taste. Rogue One is my favorite Star Wars movie. 😉
One must-read book recommendation not on your list? HAPPY YOU ASKED. Les Miserables, of course. Since you love TCoMC, I’m pretty confident you’d like Les Mis too. Same-ish sort of historical fiction classic thingy, but I like it better (and I liked CoMC a lot).…[Read more]

@daeus What everyone else said. 😀 Maybe just a sliiigghtly textured or darker background, but it already looks good.

@Emma-Flournoy oooh that’s really cool!

@Lady-iliara WELCOME! I’m an ENFJ too, dominantly at least. With some strong ISFJ tendencies. Have fun reading through all the old topics. I’m sure you won’t get bored. 😀

@Shannon @daeus @kate-flournoy I know we have at least one more ENTP, @bethanysinkyroses. 😉

@Ethryndal They already said it all. 😛 Most of the stuff I think of are the fairy-things/kind old-wise-sage-wizard-godmother people that always help out, and the amazing wonderfulness that always happens to the poor abused heroine eventually, just because she’s so wonderful, not because she worked for it or anything, and talking animals and…[Read more]

@Dekreel nice! You’ve done a great job with this. *thumbs up*
And congrats on your guess, I am indeed a mild whovian. xD

@supermonkey42 WELCOME WELCOME. *shakes your hand enthusiastically* I’m glad you’ve found your way to this part of the internet. 😀

Yay for Star Wars fans! Which is your favourite of the films?

@Ethryndal I guess I automatically assume that the guy will get the girl (or the girl will get the guy, whatever) so it would be a sort of unique twist to make it that they didn’t end up together in the end.

Personally I love it when fairy tale retellings are done in completely different genres. Like a steampunk beauty and the beast or a sci fi…[Read more]

@Daeus it’s pretty cool! You could make the shadows a little heavier which would be a very subtle ominous layer, or add a little shading to the white around the whole picture. Not sure though.

@Christi-Eaton I really need to read something by that Peterson guy sometime… Or both of them, as the case may be. What’s A.S. Peterson’s A name? But Andrew Peterson, author of the W. Saga, is the guy with all the great songs, right?

@Dekreel I don’t really have problems in this quarter because I’m very good at just ignoring all my horrible mistakes in a first draft. And I also enjoy rewriting the full novel because it’s fun seeing the massive improvement in it. xD But still, I have friends who struggle with this. Three things you can try:

1: (as Kate said) write in…[Read more]

@Kballen so exciting that you’re doing NaNo!! (I am too.) Like the others have said, having an outline is very helpful, and so is having a group of encouraging buddies who can spur you on in writing. That was one of the things that helped me most. 🙂
K.M. Weiland has a bunch of great advice on NaNo (here’s a link if you want to check it out).

@dekreel *grabs and shakes you like a rag-doll* YES YES YES. YAY YAY YAY. You will like it better hereafter. SO. MUCH. MORE. And I know how good it is already, even only halfway through. You just wait. The length is so worth it. *pumps your hand insanely* You just wait.

Also, I’ve read Night by Elie Wiesel. It’s so sad, but it’s a good one.
