Jaclyn Fallows’ world has a history of turning upside down.

Like when she was suddenly able to create a small blue flame in the palm of her hand on her eighth birthday.  Or when she started having the same dream about the sister who vanished without a trace two years ago.

But now, at fifteen, Jaclyn is in for the biggest change of her life.  A m…[Read more]

@daeus  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Wow, that flows so much better…I’m gonna rewrite it, using your tips.  🙂

@daughteroftheking My brother says that’s from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Is he right??

@daughteroftheking OOooh! I should have known that!! *facepalm*

@shannon Wow, that’s hard, but I feel like I should know it! 😛 I keep thinking Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, but I know it’s not him.

@dragon-snapper But I do like that movie. 😉

@dragon-snapper No. 😉

@shannon Yes. 😀

@shannon Yeeeahh. That’s the problem about pansting. Along with a lot of other things…but it can be fun! There is funness to it… 😀

And I’m signing out now, having managed to write an extremely impressive 98 words.

@perfectfifths Completely random guess, probably wrong, but is it the Polar Express?

@shannon Pansting is fun–ah those good old days with no plot whatsoever. *contended and at the same time scared sigh*
And I’m writing my current novel, a futuristic utopian. Maybe I entioned this before, but the first ten chapters are never easy for me. It’ll get easier but I have to find my groove first.

@daughteroftheking Have fun hibernating. 😉 And yes, I am! I’m about 12% of the way through (according to Goodreads 😛 ).

@jane-maree You have had to write at least 5,000 words day! I applaud you! *applauds* 😉

*Can’t remember if there was a new quote given so gives one herself*

“Are you a ghost?”
“No. Are you?”

Could be slightly off, but that’s how I remember it. It’s been years since I’ve seen this movie. 🙂

@shannon Well, I was just about to quit for tonight, but I’ll stay if you’re here. Company is nice when writing is not cooperating. 😀 Whatcha up to?

@ingridrd It sounds like a good story! The one thing I’d recommend is cutting. 😉

It doesn’t need to sound like this, but this is to get your gears turning and point out what I think isn’t necessary. Remember, the point of a synopsis is not to explain a story, it is to sell the story. Information is only important when it is necessary. The only…[Read more]

Thanks, @lady-iliara 😀

I actually need to skedaddle myself…farewell!

(And to answer your question @shannon, I am not a “coffee hater” but I don’t drink coffee.  However, I absolutely adore coffee ice cream…especially Haagen Dazs.

Okay, I’m outta here.  😉

@audrey-caylin  Thank you so much!   Those are some great ideas.

@supermonkey42 @shannon @emily @daughteroftheking

Here is the new and (hopefully) improved version.

Fifteen-year-old Jaclyn Fallows’ world has been turned upside down—again.  That is about the only part of her miserable life she can understand.  The rest of it?  Not so much.  Sh…[Read more]

@shannon Howdy, friend!  *shovels ice cream into mouth*  *sighs happily*

@perfectfifths Thanks! It was a lot of crazy writing. 😛

@daughteroftheking *salutes back* I’m also slightly insane… XD

@winter-rose  Substitute is the name.  🙂  I actually just posted the synopsis here if you want to read it.  🙂
