Yay! I finish planning out the chapters/scenes in my WIP! Phase one complete!

@Daeus oooopssss… *hides face* I’m sorry. I thought you wanted us to actually take the survey. Would it even let you flip pages if you didn’t?

Ok, I made a few changes.

@jess Great!

Btw everyone, if you could refrain from actually filling out the form for the moment. I don’t want to cross pollinate answers in case I make any significant changes to the survey.

@jess Question. What do you mean by: “For me as a writer, I like to see hidden articles that are somewhat based on the book. Or a nonfiction, added book. I like those. (Like how to structure your novel stuff)”?

@jess @jane-maree @daeus @kate-flournoy @graciegirl @r-j-wordsmith @ethryndal @northerner @overcomer @winter-rose And I’m back to planning! If I finish that, then I’ll likely switch to actual writing.

@dragon-snapper Yeah, be mostly mean, but when something’s awesome, it’s good to point it out. Beta-reading is basically editing, only without getting paid. Normally, you aren’t pointing out little things like tiny wording differences and missing commas, but you should point out anything that confuses you, anyways you think the plot or characters…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper easy. Read the book, tell ’em what’s wrong with it. XD

Okay, do try and be civil. But basically, they’re asking you to read it because they want your honest opinion on it. So give your honest opinion.

@Daeus first of all this is an awesome idea. Second of all I answered the questions. Third of all I have not a clue in the world how you possibly missed anything at all possible related to, about, or pertaining to books in general. I’ll let you know if I think of anything though. 😉

@cloudy Cheers! Welcome aboard the bestistest place on the internet.

@Cloudy welcome! *resolves to make sure your reluctance in joining KP doesn’t stick around for long*
I play the piano too. Not very well, but… hey. I do play it. 😉
What’s your favorite genre? Fantasy, I presume? 😀

@cloudy Hi! Hiya! Hello! And Aloha! Great to have you here!
I like drawing too! What do you like to draw and also, what medium do you use? Oh, and if you like to draw people, you should check out our Character Art Exchange thread. Lots of fun there.
And piano! I love the piano! How long have you been playing? I’ve only be playing for maybe six…[Read more]

@rachelle Hey, I remembered to check back on this thread!

I’d be willing to discuss this in more detail. So, if you want, just head over to http://mkami.weebly.com/contact.html and send me a message.

@that_writer_girl_99 I’m jealous now. 😉 Nice catch! Neat story idea there too. How far along are you in the planning process?

@audrey-caylin Could you say that the story explores the potential tension between truth and forgiveness and that much of the story is about showing how these two themes actually connect together at the deepest level?

@hope No… it’s on my reading list and I really hope to get to it at some point!

@audrey-caylin That sounds like a solid plan right there. Weiland’s resources are excellent on that front! And yeah, I definitely find for myself that it generally isn’t till the second or third read that I can really pick up on all the thematic stuff that’s going…[Read more]

@jenali How does this conflict manifest itself thematically? Does the conflict seem to have any effects on the protagonist’s character arc?
