I have been summoned! Hurray! A whole new party! I love parties! *Runs out of exclamations and pouts for a second to think of some more* Me! Me! Me! Whatever it is, I’m in! Seriously, though, a book club sounds fantastic. What do I do? =O

I wish, @daeus . Fiction would be easier! No, I’m writing something informational for a website. I’ve never really done anything like this before, so I’m a bit intimidated by it. :/

Golly, all of y’alls’ projects sound way more fun than mine! @kate-flournoy , @rolena-hatfield

What’s everybody working on now? I’m tackling a new Nemesis with flagging zeal …

My sentiments exactly, @hope ! 🙂

That is very interesting, @kate-flournoy , and a good point as well. Romance should actually advance the plot and add to the story but it needn’t do so in a way that is over obvious.

There was a romance in a movie I saw once that failed to really advance the plot or add to the story. The movie needed to have either more romance or have none in…[Read more]

That is important to remember, @bluejay . Everybody is different, which is something I need to remind myself when it comes to romance because not every guy is going to be charmingly eloquent about his feelings. (Sometimes my writing can be too poetic …)

Some say so much more by saying hardly anything at all, and still others speak for…[Read more]

That’s a good point, @daeus . I agree with you there.

I have one story idea for a romance, and I’ve got characters, some dialogue, plot twists, even a portion of the ending figured out, but the theme is missing. Why does it all happen? What is the inciting event that reveals the heart of my story, the “big Why” that gives purpose to all of…[Read more]

What do you guys think about romance side-plots?

You see, I think that forcing romance on poor, unsuspecting characters is hardly fair, so I never (well, hardly ever) plan a romance for my stories.

I just write, and sometimes the characters are just somehow made for each other and create the romance without any help from me. (Sort of;)…[Read more]

I just replied to a writing prompt from this awesome topic. Seriously fun. I’d never have thought of writing a story about a bee. So much fun!

“Buzzz . . .” Sighed Freel, as he dove from his perch on The Hive. He was being sent with the hunting party again. “Whyz won’t myz bozz promote meezz?” He thought disconsolately.

It wasn’t that hunting was so bad, but anybody, who was a bee, who was anybody, craved the job of guarding The Treasury of The Hive.

Freel landed, his feelers…[Read more]

Aa! You changed your profile pic! You aren’t who I thought you were, @lightningmouse

I don’t blame you. This new guy isn’t the real Spiderman at all, but an imposter! 😉

Looks like I’m gonna hafta write me own superheroes . . .
