@ethryndal I do believe I have a better chance with the Home Life one. I didn’t feel the one I entered for Bunyan was my best work, due to all the limits they set. I’m actually going to rewrite the story, though, as a full-length novella, at least (we’ll see where it goes) because the idea was great, but it was written a bit weak.

Haha, nope,…[Read more]

@Perfectfifths Bummer. 🙁 Well, if it’s any consolation, apparently authors hold this kind of thing up as a badge of honor. It motivate them to better themselves, and when they do succeed, they can look back on how far they’ve come. 😀 We’ll all hope for the next one.

And I’m with Emma. Even though it’s not your real name, I still do a double…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Haha, thanks 😀 Hey, wanna know a secret? Louise Fowler still isn’t my real name 😉 XD

Ah, okay, @Daeus. That’s understandable. *salutes* Catch you another time!

Sorry, @jane-maree, but I’m actually going to leave early. I realized the part I was editing needs to be restructured and I’m deciding to tackle it tomorrow. Hope your writing goes well.

@Daeus *bursts out laughing* Well then. XD You should be set to edit/write lots of words!! 😛

Yikes, @jane-maree, I think I’ve eaten enough motivational pizza already to get me to the moon.

@Daeus I’m on. *waves and settles down with pizza to share if anyone wants it*

@that_writer_girl_99 @graciegirl @winger-rose @dragon-snapper @jane-maree Anyone writing tonight? I’m going till 9 or 9:30.

@Graciegirl *cackles until something gets stuck in her throat* Ahem. Yes. They’re fun. I love being shocked out of my seat. But I absolutely hate it when authors make you love a character, and THEN he turns out to be the villain, so I think there’s a very tiny (and complicated) space of grey that these types of villains must fit into; they can’t…[Read more]

@graciegirl Another cool villain is Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 @winter-rose @graciegirl @dragon-snapper @jess I’m going to be editing for about an hour.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 yep. You do what you need to. 🙂

@Ethryndal NOOOOOOOOO NOW IT’S GONNA BE STUCK WITH ME!!! *runs out of the room clutching her head and screaming*

@Kate-Flournoy *cue creepy music* “Qu’est-ce qui passe ici si tard…”

@GracieGirl dah! I missed this and now everyone’s said everything! *heartbroken sobbing*

Well… a few villains to add to the list… (Besides Kylo Ren. Don’t start me. Really).
Chauvelin, from The Scarlet Pimpernel. Totally evil, but somehow very human, and you gotta admire his dedication even if you hate his cause. He keeps trying even though…[Read more]

The flying ball suddenly pops midair, letting loose an explosion of glitter. It falls to the ground, a silver arrow stuck in it’s limp folds of leather. Ethryndal steps out of the shadows, looking down her long elven nose. “Silly mortals,” she sniffs. “They run around like headless chickens and throw balls and tea at each other.” Glancing…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 ehhhh… there is no hard and fast rule. The nearest thing I can give you to a rule is this tip: don’t repeat impressions you’ve already made. (Something else I had to learn the hard way. ;P)
For example, don’t mention in one place that someone is confused, then mention it again later. Writing is all about change. If it hasn’t…[Read more]
