Accurate.

Daeus has close to 4000 posts in this forum. O.o

@bethanysinkyroses That’s great. 100% with you about books that make you think instead of doing the thinking for you.

Haha–we do need to remedy that. 😉 Have you ever read Death of Ivan Ilyich or Pride and Prejudice?

@jess-penrose So first off, let me just say that the mess you’re facing is the mess I face nearly every time I write a novel. Plotting out the theme in your head is great to start with, but whenever story ideas meet the actual page, chaos is going to happen. xD

I wouldn’t recommend re-starting it. Instead, what you want to do is take your current…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper We actually have three Chosen Ones on this forum, once the other two bother to show up to the party. 😉

@Daeus I had a moment’s pause, as I noted, because I thought it was a little long, but after that split second I had no problem with it.

@Ethryndal got it. *tries not to eye Galadriel too weirdly* I, however, am past midlife crises, being already dead.

… Galadriel is chanting like an ewok.

@Ethryndal I think you broke me.

*dying scream* NOW I HAVE THE EWOK CHANT STUCK IN MY HEAD!!
*SOBS*

(Well… that makes me happy then. 😉 NOT THAT I KNOW MORE. That I was able to help you with it. 😛 )

@Ethryndal *chokes* Your ‘writing master’?? *coughs**wipes eyes* S-sorry. I just… always assumed that was sort of a joke…? 😛

@Overcomer oh good. *grins* I like giving people chills.

@Overcomer *glances around cautiously**whispers* here. Have a link. It’s not running yet but I have it up and a few things on it, and if I don’t give it to you know I’m gonna forget. 😛

@Overcomer nice! Share it with us once you have it running. 🙂

@That_Writer_Girl_99 thank you. That means a lot. 😉

@Overcomer I know! I’ve missed you. 🙂
That sounds like a great book, and that is an excellent thought. I have a grand total of two colleagues (@Daeus @Hope) but we have strengths and weaknesses that balance each other out, so we can all learn from each other and teach each other in different ways. You’re right; those partnerships are crucial.

@Daeus thank you. Good thoughtful answer. Believe it or not I actually hadn’t thought about it one way or the other; doing long term or not, but now that I have, it’s a definite yes. I never really set my heart to do anything unless I’m going to do it long term anyway. 😉 If it was just for promoting myself— yep, website. But since I feel like I…[Read more]

@bethanysinkyroses That’s awesome–are there any specific books that come in mind that changed you that you’re open to sharing?

@bethanysinkyroses Fantastic. As much as I do love hitting people with peppermint sticks, an alternate approach seems wiser. 😉
