@Emily The part of my brain that is so done with life is strongly suggesting I abandon everything and go live by the ocean and eat chocolate for the rest of my days. However, the sentimental side of my brain loves this book and totally agrees with you. So yeah, thanks. I hope my sanity is recoverable. 😀

(@Emma-Flournoy, this is a banner day. My…[Read more]

And yes sometimes we do imitate Americans but are far more likely to imitate the Russian accent.

Russian accent? That is beyond cool. XD
@theacornman

I am starting to get into a really bad habit of not reading. I kinda need to be kicked for it lol.

I may or may not be guilty of this also. Maybe I should melt my own chair.
@theacornman

@dragon-snapper Yes, I like it too. Unfortunately, I find there’s a movie under that title and two novels. None of them seem popular at all, especially not the novels, but it would still be annoying if they showed up when someone searched for my book. I’m still keeping it in mind because if someone sees the title and goes “ooh”, that’s the most…[Read more]

@daeus Ooh, I like that…although it is a little long. Of course, the title ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ is long too. XD Maybe instead of ‘who’ you could say ‘that’….I don’t know…weird Snapper preferences.

@glitter-ocelot Hi hi hi! Welcome to KP!

Er, yes @josiahdeboer We does want to know the story behind your name??? *glances between the two of you* *shrugs* 😛

I am Dragon Snapper, both a dragon and a Samwise Gamgee and a writer and a lover of sci-fi and fantasy and a million other things.

Anyway, glad to have you here! 😀

@ethryndal Oh yeah. Taking a break from something like that is very good. Not only do you want to prevent yourself from a burnout, but also, it can lead to something even better, like what @mariposa said. I’ve done that multiple times. Planned out a story, begun writing it, then stopped. In fact, I have more than thirty stories in my files that…[Read more]

@Ethryndal do it. I plead horribly guilty of workaholism, but more and more I’ve come to value re-charging and taking a step back for a change of perspective.
I strongly do not recommend trashing the story you have, but I understand where you’re coming from. My current WIP (yeah, that one) has been going for three years and it drives me bonkers…[Read more]

*pops in* DID SOMEONE SAY PERIOD DRAMAS?

Oh hi, @TheAcornMan. Are you new? I didn’t see this til now. Welcome to KP!

@Daeus oooh, that’s more like it. I don’t think that one necessarily (because it gives away the ending) but that’s definitely a whole lot more dynamic and deep.

@kate-flournoy True…

Okay, here’s another one.

“The Man Who Came Back”

@Daeus that does give off some pretty strong Native American vibes, just so you’re aware.

@emma-flournoy Actually, I’ve thought about “To Soar On Eagles”. It doesn’t seem very time travely, but it is a nice title, so I’ll leave it up there as an option.

Let me try to think of some more ideas.

Salutations, @Glitter-Ocelot! You know your MBTI type. I like you already. *grins* Hello, and welcome to the realm of the KeePers of the Pen. I’m an INFP an I write just about anything speculative. Prefer fantasy right now, but really fantasy is such a broad term… eh… nevermind. 😛
Once again, welcome. What’s your favorite book? If you can…[Read more]

@glitter-ocelot Welcome! And thanks for telling us your personality type. You must be brushed up on forum decorum. lol

What got you started in writing?

I like the last one, because that does relate to your book the mos, although I like the wording of ‘The Time of Courage’, or even without the ‘the’ in there.
@daeus

@Emma-Flournoy *scowls* Everything is possible. And everything is connected. So never say never. *scowls harder*
