@catwing Well, I think what you have inside of the book is certainly part of it. If you write a book that blows people away, then you’ve gone above and beyond what they expected. I’m more interested in things besides your story though. No book can blow every reader away. We need other lines of defense.

@salome01w4g *erm* I’m not quite sure….I’ve never been good at identifying genres.

@daughteroftheking @winter-rose And usually I stay a dragon…just because it’s easier to roam middle earth that way.

@winter-rose Frodo! I’ve not seen you in a while; have you gone to Morder and back again? 😛

@daughteroftheking I’m beta-reading a story for @northerner at the moment.

So folks, let’s see how inventive you are.
I was just at a conference and, in one of the talks, a guy said that whatever you do, you should practice the principle of going the extra mile.
I immediately thought of writing. Immediately after that, I was stumped. How does one go the extra mile in writing?
What people expect is a good story, a…[Read more]

@Mariposa How could you hate mint. D: BUT if finding toothpaste is that much of a problem, just use baking soda. *nodnod* That’s what we use part of the time; baking soda with peppermint oil mixed in, but you could skip the oil. That would taste real good. *grimace*
Also, Thesaurus dinosaurs are a very good kind too.@Northerner Hey, my eyes are…[Read more]

@Joy Yup. 🙂
I can imagine that last one would be slightly freaky…maybe it’s just a tele-marketer though. XD
Good luck with the driving, too. I’m learning to drive as well. -

@Hope Of those I like the first best. I think any version does sound sort of over-dramatic/slightly cheesy, since you asked. *brutally honest grimace* But of those three choices I think the first is best.

@Shannon Ack. When I was little in TX and we were fixing to go somewhere one day, I was wearing sandals and stepped right in a fire ant hill. OWWWWWW. My feet didn’t return to their normal color for awhile. Red welts all over. I don’t like fire ants.
Hopefully the effects for y’all were somewhat neutralized in all that water… 😛 -

Why restrain yourself? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the genre!
Which is why I write it! XD Another type of sci-fi I’d like to write is 10 minutes into the future. 🙂
Yes, I have. They’re pretty good. Although, sometimes I think Cote misuses the word “Coy”… 😛 I haven’t read them all in…[Read more]

@seekjustiace Oh yes, I heard about the Vegemite chocolate. My friend and her mum and brother tried it, and I think they said it was disgusting. It just sounds disgusting.
