@shannon Pansting is fun–ah those good old days with no plot whatsoever. *contended and at the same time scared sigh*
And I’m writing my current novel, a futuristic utopian. Maybe I entioned this before, but the first ten chapters are never easy for me. It’ll get easier but I have to find my groove first.

@daughteroftheking Have fun hibernating. 😉 And yes, I am! I’m about 12% of the way through (according to Goodreads 😛 ).

@jane-maree You have had to write at least 5,000 words day! I applaud you! *applauds* 😉

*Can’t remember if there was a new quote given so gives one herself*

“Are you a ghost?”
“No. Are you?”

Could be slightly off, but that’s how I remember it. It’s been years since I’ve seen this movie. 🙂

@shannon Well, I was just about to quit for tonight, but I’ll stay if you’re here. Company is nice when writing is not cooperating. 😀 Whatcha up to?

@ingridrd It sounds like a good story! The one thing I’d recommend is cutting. 😉

It doesn’t need to sound like this, but this is to get your gears turning and point out what I think isn’t necessary. Remember, the point of a synopsis is not to explain a story, it is to sell the story. Information is only important when it is necessary. The only…[Read more]

Thanks, @lady-iliara 😀

Wow, it’s been a while since I hung out here in the Lounge.  Today I’ve been thinking about target audiences.  How do writers decide what their target audience is?  How important is it?  If anyone is hanging around and cares to answer or add some thoughts, I’d appreciate the insight.  No need for much seriousness.  Not much serious writing happe…[Read more]

Lazy reader finally gets around to reading sequel. Reads Part 1. Runs off to get ice cream. Returns with Sparkling Apple Cider Float. Continues reading…finishes Float. Decides it is the best thing she’s ever tried in her entire life. Keeps reading…until the part about soy ice cream. Agrees, but is relieved that coconut milk ice cream is not…[Read more]

@Ethryndal *grins* And that is an encouraging thought.

*revives you*

That makes sense. And I kindly forgive your grammar. *benevolent flourish*

This story is going to be so epic.

You know you’re a writer when you’re making a spanish set for quizlet, and realize you been putting the terms in quotation marks. *facepalm*

@sam-kowal @dekreel If we combine Stan’s furniture-tearing and my melting of chairs, we’re going to have a crisis of missing furniture on our hands.

Hey, @rachelle! Haven’t seen you around in a long time.

@winter-rose *preaches it*

Yesss. Mechanical pencils are the best. 😉

And I’m going to call it a day too.

It’s a day.

I wrote…ah…oh dear. Not much at all. Not much at all precious.

330.

Ah well, I wrote 2000 earlier, so that’s fine.

My muse must not be speaking now. 🤐

Adios and good luck to college and writing and life, Frodo!

@jess-penrose Lunch? But it’s past dinner. *prepares time travelness suit* 😉

These are mechanical pencils.
( I claim no right to this picture)
(And forgive my Americanness, but what’s a pacer?)

@winter-rose Thanks. 😀

@supermonkey42

I hope you don’t mind free publicity

*crickets* *crickets* What kind of question is that? 😛

Seriously, thanks though. It means a lot to hear you liked the characters because I struggled through a big characterization problem shortly before I wrote this story.

I reached 50,085 on day 27. I did not write yesterday, but I plan on continuing this story (I’d better, I’ve put a lot of work into it!) and trying to write every day again. My friend suggested a word goal for every month might help, and I think that’s a good idea, though something less ambitious than 50,000 all the time, maybe like 30,000. I’ll…[Read more]

@jess-penrose Wait, you guys have mechanical pencils in Australia, right?

@winter-rose XD I love them too. So fun. 😀

Yes. Writing is hard —

@jess-penrose Never. I use mechanical pencils. Constantly sharp. Never blunt.

@jess-penrose Points are my specialty.
