@Daeus okay. I got 984 written. I’m trying to slow down and pay attention to the length/spacing of my sentences so they’re an even mix of different lengths. Once I get into the habit it will be easier, but I’m pretty happy with the amount I wrote notwithstanding. 🙂

@Daeus ooh wow, fun! Starting a new project is always exciting. I’m writing now— probably will be until 10:50. You on?

“The pen is mightier than the tomato.”
That’s the best thing I’ve heard in a long time, @Daeus. 😉
And whew, you were up early. Or maybe I was up late… I don’t know. But I can write for about twenty minutes now.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
@Daeus yes sir. Planning on it. Tomato minions may get in the way, but I’m planning on doing as much as I can.

Yoohoo @daeus 20 minutes of writing??

BlueJay replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
No worries. I thought that might be the case. *I’ve just finished breakfast* 😀 @daeus I’ll see about doing it later, but I have no idea what I’ll be doing. So I guess we’ll see.

Numbers; problems. That’s all they ever write in me. Multiplication; addition; subtraction; division. I’m so tired by the end of the day.
Sometimes I end up with a really bad case of chicken pox. Do you know how horrible that is?
I wish they’d write stories in me instead. Battles; romance; westerns; fantasy. How much nicer that would be.

@dragon-snapper Oo I love medieval as a genre. My only problem is that my characters all speak modern day English.
Tell me, do you like flying???? -

@daeus Sorry, missed you again!!!!!!!!! So out of practise and really busy.
However, is there anyone who wants to write now? @overcomer; @jadamae; @daeus; @kate-flournoy; @clairec; @anna-brie; @anyone-else-who-I-haven’t-thought-of -
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic If there's one thing rewriting has taught me… in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
@Daeus good idea. Okay people— so near the beginning of the book I had it so one character would be teaching another to sword-fight. I spent quite a bit of time developing their relationship prior to that— one character is so stubborn he wouldn’t have let the other character teach him if they hadn’t known each other for quite some time. So…[Read more]

Ha. Anything, of course. 😉 No limit.

This thread is for sharing tips about editing and rewriting or handy things we discovered in the process of doing that ourselves.
I shall kick it off because I recently discovered something crucial (with @Daeus‘s help 😉 ). I’m going through the first major edit/rewrite I’ve ever done, so perhaps this is old news to some of you more experienced…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper awesome handle. Is there a story behind that?
Oh yeah— welcome to the Realm of the KeePers of the Kingdom. There are *ahem* a few dragons on this forum, myself included… it would be greatly appreciated if you refrained from doing any… erm… snapping? 😉
Where do you hail from?
Glad to have you here. *salutes* Captain. 😉
