The fledgling Artist

@seekjustice Hello again!  Did you have fun?

I thought you had only one sibling? 😉  Or did you only tell me about one?

@jess-penrose Oh, poor, poor Connor! 🙁  My MC just had a panic attack and passed out.  Now she’s better, thankfully.

Here’s a clip from a while back right before she passes out:

As she looked out at the road all she could think of was Hot.  It was so hot.  Suddenly her mind flashed as though she was back on the road, stumbling, gasping, hop…

@jess-penrose Oh, whoops! haha. 😀

Well, I’m having the opposite problem that you have! 🙂  I’m a very slow writer, possibly because I took off two years in which I did basically no writing and only started up again a few months ago, so it’s taking me a while to get back in the swing.  So I set a low goal for Camp NaNo, but I’m still behind a l…[Read more]

@jess-penrose Hello!  How’s your book coming?

@seekjustice I’m back now.  You’re probably not done yet, but I’m tagging you anyway in case. 😉

@jess-penrose Are you writing now?

Oh, I forgot to tag people! 🙂

Let’s see… @jenwriter17 @catwing @dragon-snapper @skredder @alia @ariel-ashira @dekreel (I’m tagging people even if they’re on hiatus because the conferences are in real life, not on KP. 😉

If anyone can tag more people please do so!  Thanks.

@seekjustice Actually, that’s fine, since I’ve got to help my family get ready and pack for a conference we have a ministry booth at tomorrow, so I’ll be back later too.

Have fun, and see you soon!

Oh good. 😉

@jenwriter17 I’m sorry, I disappeared almost immediately after writing that misleading post in order to eat dinner.  So I wasn’t here after all! 🙁 😛  Sorry you’ve got to go!  I hope to see you tomorrow.

@seekjustice HOORAY!!!!  Welcome back!  I certainly missed you, but I got a little more sleep than usual on account of the fact that no one…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I don’t know if you’re still on, but I’m finally here! 🙂

Here is a question.  How can I make my first chapter grab the reader, but also make it relate to the story and make my reader care about my MC?

@jenwriter17 Good idea!  Yes, tag more people please!

@skredder He had really good relationships with his family before he was taken away.  Good point!

@ariel-ashira I do think it depends on the relationships the he had with his family before he left.

@filewriterbase13x The reference is Piglet from Winnie the Pooh. 🙂

@alia Thanks!

@jess-penrose Not so great. 🙁  But right now I’m taking a break to look at Alia’s speech for her.  Maybe when I get back to writing after that it’ll go better.

@alia Goodnight!

@jess-penrose How’s it going?

@alia Sure thing!  Any particular reason you asked me? 😀  (I love the Civil War, but don’t remember if you know that or not…)

@alia It was going really well today, but now I’m suddenly stuck.  Not because I wouldn’t necessarily know what to write, but because I’m feeling a strange apathy.  I need to get excited about it again.  But right now it’s not going anywhere. 🙁
