@northerner @ethryndal I think I’m going to be done now. I wrote 167 words. /Not the best, but better than nothing, I suppose. Thanks!

@ethryndal Writing parts of yourself into your characters is one of the best ways to do that! I really like that alternate method though of using one of your friends as a means of portraying the character. Hadn’t thought of that before, but I may have to try that now!

@ethryndal Nice work! I particularly like 3 and 5 since they’re wrong answers that can seem rather sympathetic at first. Sounds like a great backbone for poetic justice there as well.

@hope Ahh; got ya. Sounds like you may have two different themes going on here. Success would work well as a theme. Another way you could take it if you wanted to stick with the finite ability of man, would be to have a focusing question like this: “Given the finite ability of man, how can man succeed in life?” The answers would then just need to…[Read more]

@northerner Ah, I suspected that was your reason. Ok, well first, I don’t think your genre will change a whole lot. I’m suspect you’re right that there are fewer e-readers there, but there’s still a significant amount. However, that doesn’t affect the issue of hypocrisy much. Well, here’s the question. Why are you against e-readers? If it’s a…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper @Northerner It’s a threesome now.

@northerner Great!

Anyone and everyone else, I’m still going.

@winter-rose Ah, editing.
I finished copying a rough draft of a scene list. Thanks!

@winter-rose I’ll join you!
@daeus @kate-flournoy @jess @aella @ethryndal @anyone else
Are any of you writing tonight as well?

I try to write a tiny part of myself into each of my characters, so I’m not dealing with someone I totally don’t understand. If that isn’t possible, I write someone I’m really close to into my character, and talk with them about how they respond to different issues and such.

@Overcomer Sure thing.

Looks good, @ethryndal

Okay @Aratrea @Daeus, here’s what I came up with.

1. You should only help people if they have something to offer

2. Because of God’s love, we ought to love everyone, even those who don’t deserve it

3. We ought to reach out to those in need because it will make us better people

4. We shouldn’t bother trying to change the world because people…[Read more]

@northerner Basically, yes, though the answer’s not quite so simple.

Let’s say when you initial launch your book, you selling a lot of paperbacks but not many ebooks. I’d first ask, what’s making you sell a lot of paperbacks? Well, you’re probably in bookstores or catalogs where people who buy paper books browse. That might be your only…[Read more]

@Sierra-R To be perfectly honest, I don’t really hate it as much as I sound. There’s just some very twisted part of my nature that appreciates bashing things. 😛 I’m working on it.

@Sierra-R And this is why most people don’t understand Shakespeare. 🙂
