oops. Try you agian. @cahndida-serkhaman

Question: (@spradlin, @daeus, @cahndida serkhaman, @jadamae, @sarah-h)
If you were illustrating this for a child, how would you illustrate this verse.

In a land long ago,
When men were all bad,
They stole and they murdered,
Which made the Lord sad.

I obviously don’t want to scare them, with people killing people, but I don’t want to make the…[Read more]

All of these ideas are interesting… hey, you might try combining them @hope. First off, you could have a misinterpreted prophecy regarding the King’s Horn for the whole book, that way everyone thinks that whoever blows it is the one whose enemies will be stricken down. That would keep the tension when E and K are fighting over it, and the…[Read more]

@spradlin Come and check this poem out. What do you think?

*blanches* raspberry!?! How can you eat those? (I can’t eat blackberries either. I do like blueberries and strawberries though.)
Thank you. Now, an illustrator….. (or not! 😛 )

I try to tag you and get it wrong! @daeus Try that instead. 😛

OK. So I’ve been working hard on this poem. I have added some more stanzas in case it does become a book. So the targeted audience is young children. With that in mind what do you think?
I’ll tag you just so you do see it @deaus. 😀

He said,…[Read more]

@anna-brie do you want to start with half an hour with me?

Second the motion, @jadamae. 🙂

Hey, I recognize this! 😉

And…

the bad guy as an ancient pear which doesn’t break.

*strokes chin with faint twinkle in eyes* I’m trying to imagine Keros fighting with an ancient pear that doesn’t break… or better yet, Keros as an ancient pear that doesn’t break. I think I’m failing. *cue hysterical laughter* That was supposed to be has a…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy, Ah! Thank you for clearing that up! I was getting confused between personal character goals and the main story. So now that I think about it, in my WIP the main story goal is to defeat the bad guys, like you said, but the MC’s goal is to find love. The MC is an orphan, and she’s had a pretty bad life so far…so her goal is to…[Read more]

@hope, I’m not sure if this is what you’re thinking, but here’s an idea: when the battle between the MC and the villain is over and the villain’s men find out that their leader is dead, they could just run. That’s usually what happens at the end of battles…the men are really fighting for their leader, and when the leader’s gone, they’ve got no…[Read more]

@daeus HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! And HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA some more. Oh, Daeus you do make me laugh. Next week I’ll probably look different yet again. They do say “A change is as good as a holiday.” Now, I’ve been made to look like Peter Pan, Aladdin and a pirate (all boy roles I may point out!) But I have never been made to look…[Read more]

*looks up obnoxious in dictionary* Oh, so that’s what it means. I wouldn’t have put that to you.
Yes!!! I’m not the only one. Phew, now I don’t feel so bad. Deja vu! I’ve heard that call for Heeeeeeeellp!! so many times.
And how do we fix them: We find what the distraction is and get rid of it. The TV, internet, etc… (Boy that would be hard. 🙁 )

*pauses on the edge* “Breathe deep, Breathe deep.” JUMPS! *Right I’m in. Now let’s go see if I can write something. 😀
Thank you @kate-flournoy.
but the successful writers are the disciplined ones
There is a line in a movie (which @rolena-hatfield should know) which says “If honesty offends me, than I am in most need of it.” Don’t ever stop tells…[Read more]

Well… dive in. 😉

What, that’s not helpful?!? Whazza mazza wis you @bluejay?!?

But really, my best trick is just to start going. Don’t think about how terrible your writing is— don’t think about how awfully your prose is flowing. Just write and write and write until you’re ‘in the zone’. You can always go back and fix the flow later if you…[Read more]
