Sounds like a great book, Rosey, even if it does need a rewrite. And let me guess… Cobalt is the one wearing blue… right? How did I ever guess?
I’m in the middle of writing a sequel to my first ‘real’ novel (as in novel I would acknowledge to be mine) and that first novel needs a rewrite too! What a small world it is…

Another thing about…[Read more]

@Ezra—oops. Sorry. I thought the new person’s name was Joy…
Forgive me, Ezra, and forgive me, Joy. Ack! I mean, forgive me, Kate! Or which are you, anyway?

@Daeus— well, it’s good to know I”m not alone. 😛

@David… please don’t be toast. We have too many weird persons around this forum already. 😛

@Rosey— they certainly do steal the spotlight! Denholm is the favorite by majority vote, and nothing I do for my poor real MC will change that. *sigh* Poor darling Harold. Everything conspires against you.
Also those jokers are the kind of characters…[Read more]

Kate, Cobalt is your favorite kind of joker. I love those guys, so I just had to make one. XD

Well… lovely. So’s Denholm. 😀 And good point about the understatements. That can really be effective too.

Glad I was able to be of service, Hannah!

@Daeus— the ghostwriter greets you.

@Ezra— me? N….nooooo… that’s not me. I seem to be the only writer here who was never an OYANer and doesn’t drink coffee. 😛

@Joy— how about you, Joy? Do you drink coffee?

Welcome to KP, David! Join the crazies.

Ooh… what a deep question. Humor is not my strongest point, but I flatter myself I can do it well enough, so I’ll share some tips. Maybe…
Okay, first tip: inside jokes. Often these are driven home by a look or a secret smile or some subtextual passing of information between two characters.
As a quick example, say one of your characters once…[Read more]

Greetings, O Shadow Hawke. Join us. Our joy is immeasurable. We are immensely gratified that such a one as thou hast seen fit to count thyself amongst us… one of us… in madness and the joy of madness mingled together with laughter, that our fellowship may be the fellowship of all things mad and beautiful.

That… was totally weird. I did not…[Read more]

Now why didn’t I think of that?

Another thing to add to this discussion… if you can call it a discussion without any opponents… is that a long conversation, realistically, will wander from one subject to another. Not that it will be rambling, but that one topic will bring up another point that needs discussing, and the conversers (not a word, but who cares) will take…[Read more]

A gentleman by the name of Mark McGuire. He identifies as a platypus. He’ll probably turn up somewhere.

Um…true. That’s true. Yeah. I didn’t think of that. 😛

Hey that’s a good quote, Mark Kamibaya. (Sorry, we have more than one Mark here now) Who said it?
And good point. I like that. That basically sums it up for me.

Whal, ya did a gude job o’ disguising it thar.

Seriously, it fit in seamlessly.

Ah. Thanks anyway. It’s the thought that counts. 😛 Where’d you find the cheat sheet?

Oooh! I love writhe! Actually that probably comes right before citadel on my list. Another good one is snarl— and eon and amorphous and metamorphosis and morph and weepy. Narrow. Strait. Linear. Galactic. Frigid. Squirm. Honor. Humiliation. Anguish. Dizzy. Laughter. Lay (as in poem or song). Riddle. Rune. Glyph. Jagged. Icily. And… are you…[Read more]

Oh and incision. And schism. And chasm.
