Hi, @moriahs. Glad to find another historical fiction lover. I can’t say I love the research, but if I can handle that, it’s one of my favorite genres.

@moriahs Oh, nice. I read Bond’s Crown and Covenant Trilogy, Betrayal, and a couple others when I was still in high school and remember enjoying each of them. Great historical fiction there.

@Daeus yessir. I stopped doing this wonderful thing once I approached (aka got within ten chapters of :’D) the climax and started really having to rethink you-know-who. My typical writing night was too messy to have too much competition or I would have imploded from the double pressure. 😛 Once I get past the chapter I’m on (wherein about eight…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 Ah, yes, the shows that were around when I was little were the good ones. 😛
@daeus I’m signing out now. I wrote about 850 words, not much of it being dialogue, but I think it’s good action, so I’m happy with it.

@that_writer_girl_99 Strangely, yes. I think there was one episode where Emily Elizabeth was throwing a party and her ‘friend’ wanted her to add more pizzazz, and she’d wiggle her fingers fancily whenever she’d say it, and as a little kid, that word stuck out as interesting. 😛

@that_writer_girl_99 I think of Clifford.

By the way, @kate-flournoy, do you still ever write at night?

@daeus Well, that’s always important. Pizzazz. I’ll have to use that word.

@daeus Well, that’s always important. Pizzazz.

@that_writer_girl_99 @dragon-snapper I just want to give it some artistic pizzazz.

@daeus I thought you already had that covered. You know, campaigning?

@that_writer_girl_99 @dragon-snapper I’ll join you. I’ll be plotting. How to take over the world, of course.

@that_writer_girl_99 *pats you on the back* Don’t worry, its very helpful in the end. (or at least, I think it is)

@that_writer_girl_99 For my first novel, I managed not to do so, but now I’m falling into that black hole and being turned into spaghetti. Why can’t words be perfect the first time?

… What did you guys do while I was out? I said no crazy parties! Security shall look out for danger in the form of TV shows.

@that_writer_girl_99 Oh, tell me about it. I am such a perfectionist.

Numero 5. *jaw drops*
@that_writer_girl_99 I should probably do the same.

@f5a8c3e92 Yess that’d be a great idea. I think it would be cool to have a weird daydream and then hold it- it was real?? *nods*

Oh yep, that prologue is good.

@f5a8c3e92 YES. Much better. *thumbs up* Notice how the details ground you.
And I think it would be really cool for that to be part of Maya’s dream. Go for it. 😀

@f5a8c3e92
Okay so I’ve put all my notes and critique points into a google doc (hopefully that works for you). I haven’t finished going through it yet (but I’ll keep going after I post this for you), but as far as I have at the moment I’m quite enjoying it. It had a cool prose style that I’m quite liking. Good job. *thumbs…[Read more]
