@Catwing OH, NOW I understand. 😀
Good luck with your writing for the night! (And henceforth and forevermore, naturally.)

@Catwing Oh yes, that makes very good sense. 😀
Well, yeah…not really. I used to write stories. It was BAAAAD. I was young. I excuse myself. 😛 But no, other than the occasional school report/essay, I’m not a writer. Fiction writer. I probably know enough about it to be one, but I’m not. And I don’t really feel sad about it, either. XD I’m…[Read more]

@Catwing Well I ain’t writing, for one thing. *wiggles eyebrows* I be the non-writer here. 😉 Though I do wonder why you tagged me of all people. How interesting. XD

@Joy, praying. 🙂

@CK4always Welcome welcome welcome!

@Shannon That sounds cool…I don’t think we have a mac though. Oh well.
Hey, nice. Hope it works out. 😀

@ck4always Ah. Do you have a google account? If you don’t, you should really get one. If you do, you’re all set. just google “google drive”. It’s an awesome file storage system. From there, click the “new” button and select “document”. Once your document is ready, you can share it by clicking the blue “share” button in the top right of the screen.…[Read more]

@ck4always Yes. A google doc would work best, but you can just post that in the thread. Post it under fiction > novel critiques.

@ck4always Yep.

@CK4always let me know if you decide to and I’ll help you with the tags. They can be a bit tricky, especially for a newbie. 😉

@CK4always if you’re looking for feedback you can certainly post a link to a google doc and ask around for those interested in giving it a read through. Unfortunately I can’t because I’m up to my ears already, 😛 but I’m sure there are several people here who’d love the opportunity.

@CK4always welcome! Do you like music? Do you like psychology? What’s your favorite color?

@ck4always The writer’s corner is an accountability system. Say you want to write for half an hour, but you’re worried you’ll get distracted. You come on here and ask if anyone wants to write with you for half an hour. Knowing that there is someone else dedicated to staying on track for the same amount of time helps you keep from wandering off.

Welcome, @ck4always 🙂

You have now entered the bestistest place on the internet! How’d you find us? Is there a novel you’re working on at the moment?

@Emily Heh, I just bet it’s not easy. 😛

@Shannon Meh…sort of. XD We once downloaded a free sound-recording program but it wasn’t the best quality. It would be fun to try with good quality recording stuff sometime.

@Emily Well that’s great. About the mandolin. 😀 Good teachers are the best thing. I’m mostly self-taught with violin, so I don’t really have experience with teachers. (Except Mom, who taught me piano. She was great. 😀 ) But good teaching is the best.
And I’d imagine fiddling is fun! I like British/Irish/European style fiddling best.

@Shannon…[Read more]

@Shannon Oh I knew I wasn’t the only one (haven’t I seen the blogs), but it’s still nice to find them among people you know/semi-know. 😉
I love it. 😀 I only wish I could fiddle as well. Do you play something?

@Emily NICE. I looooooooove cello; my mom wants to play that someday. And mandolin shouldn’t be too hard to learn as the notation/stringing is the same as violin.

Music for the mood.

That conference talk was great.

I can’t really think of anything more specific than what everyone else said. The biggest thing I think would be the ‘feeling important’ thing; feeling like you’re not just a slot to fill but that the author really cares. And they remember you and things about you. All that awesome connection…[Read more]
