@rochellaine Wow. That is amazing. The level of dedication it took to find all those screenshots is honestly impressive.

@jess-penrose Hmm… I like the idea, but my concern is that the message is too obvious. When I first read the focusing question, the answer of “everyone” is the first answer that sprung to my mind, and generally speaking you want to avoid focusing questions that have obvious answers. I think there’s the potential with some alternate answers,…[Read more]

@rochellaine Wow. So true. We’re actually going to do that again in the next video. xD

You all mind if I share some of these on my social media? @dekreel @epicaddie2 @daughter-of-the-king

Wow; this is amazing. I want to install a “like” button on the forum just so I can “like” all these images. xD But the “I can’t believe someone bought a KaPeeFer shirt,” the “you know when someone’s lying to you,” and the “spoiler” memes are so good in addition to that “when someone reads your old book” one (and pretty much all the others). That…[Read more]

Oh wow. This may just be my new favorite thing.

Hey @amily-huddleston! Welcome to the site. 🙂 We love the work that Brett & Jaquelle are doing over at Y-Dubs! How many words are you into your current WIP?

@jenwriter17 Shoot me an email (josiahdegraaf@kingdompen.org) and I can do that manually for you. 🙂

@Daeus everything looks great. 🙂

@Daeus *raises hand*

@dekreel I love the Canterbury Tales. I studied a number of the tales in college and have taught different stories from it in my English classes. I do need to second @sleepwalkingmk, though, and say that you need to be careful about which you read since some are pretty raunchy. I’d be happy to give you recommendations on which to read or which to…[Read more]

Random social stranger at a random social function: “Oh, you write books? Cool! What’s your book about?”

Me, randomly trying to function socially: *stilted grin and shivering, nervous laugh* “Here, let me… let me…” *digs out notebook with a triumphant flourish* “I wrote it down!”

XD

@Dragon-snapper

@Dragon-Snapper ugh I am so sorry. I have no idea why it does that to you. *offers you conciliatory chocolate*

Yeah… trying to pitch your book on the spur of the moment is torture. Especially if the person is just trying to make conversation and you can tell they really don’t care. And then you walk away from the encounter and think of a dozen…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  my most memorable and embarrassing writerly moment will always be the time I had to explain to the chiropractor that my hip was out of place because I slipped on our hardwood floor choreographing a fight scene… he was very nice about it, but the startled, slightly skeptical sidelong look he gave me, and the funny little laugh,…[Read more]

@valtmy Ah; nice. Now that you mention it, I did see the first two(?) seasons of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Not familiar with the others but may need to check them out when I have time!

Hey @valtmy! Welcome to the forum. 🙂 What animes do you watch? I haven’t watched much, but really like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood & Death Note (the original, not the Netflix travesty).

@Bella-D *salutes* Happy to be of service! 🙂

@Bella-D it would appear I have been summoned. Thank you @daeus.  🙂

Let me see… there are a number of potential answers to this question. The one that ended up being the answer for me isn’t so much about changing the side of the character that is reserved, brooding, and unresponsive, but about developing a second side to balance it— the one…[Read more]

@kaya-young Nice list! Austen is one of my all-time favorites.

Welcome to the forum @kaya-young! I was homeschooled myself from Kindergarten through high school. Afraid I’m not familiar with Jeff Bridges. :/ What other authors do you enjoy?

Hey @aviantrail–welcome to the site! Love that Wodehouse quote in your signature! Are those short stories fan-fictions for Homer’s Odyssey, or something different?
