@Kina-Lamb eeep yes. 😀 I really like the secret agent/undercover mission concept so it’s been really fun to play with. The thing I’m trying out to make it more unique (hopefully?) if having the secret agent character still in the middle of his training, so when he accidentally ends up in the middle of a situation (that a full agent would consider…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Hey, at least that means you’ve been making progress! *high-five.* It’s been five years since I wrote my first story, and yes, just ouch. : ) I don’t think I would still be writing, though, if it wasn’t for the two girls that first read my story. At that time, I was enthusiastic about it. They simply read it, smiled, and said it…[Read more]

I have absolutely no idea what I’m really doing. I don’t know why but I got really super stuck on this. So I may have done it completely wrong. *flops*

Dystopian/futuristic setting. Very (very) loose Robin Hood retelling. Positive Character Arc. I guess Will’s external goal is pretty much the same as his thematic development/goal, both of which…[Read more]

@jane-maree yay! Somebody else has a secret agent in their story!!! Yipee!!! I was kind of skeptical about my agent, because the only stories I’ve ever read with a secret agent in them were kind of cheesy with so many stock characters, and I didn’t want that to happen to my story. It’s encouraging to know that it can be done. Thanks!

@kina-lamb
Fiction! Yes, for fiction! Nonfiction is alright, I suppose, but I’d still prefer fiction. So much more exciting, and there are no rules. Hehee. 😛
I’ve only been writing for about three years, but when I look back at the second short story that kicked it off, I shudder. Just…ouch.
I haven’t heard of those, actually. I’ll have to…[Read more]

@Kina-Lamb one character travels around through a lot of different countries, so has picked up on a lot of languages. The other is training as a secret agent so had to learn a lot of them so he could fit in during his missions.
I know some French. But my sister knows more.

@jane-maree what is the situation your characters are in so that they speak several languages? Do you know any French?

@Kina-Lamb yep. ^-^ I have several characters that can speak multiple languages so having at least a vague knowledge of the language really helps.

@I-J-Anderson oooh… I want to try Angelique. Actually in all honesty I want to try all of them, :’D but I doubt if I’ll have time and I want to leave some awesome ones for the others. 😉

@jane-maree that’s really neat! I’ve thought about writing a story with some Spanish in it, too. It’d be a lot of fun, wouldn’t it?

@Kina-lamb I started Spanish last year. Because I needed to learn a foreign language for school work and I was uttering sick of French + I always thought Spanish was cool + lots of people speak Spanish + I’ve always had a thing for Spain + I want to write a Spanish character who slips into Spanish whenever he’s annoyed or scared because it just…[Read more]

@jane-maree That’s a good one! I’ll be paying closer attention to the movie credits from now on.

@christi-eaton Thanks so much! By all means, get your brother on board! Is he a writer? I guess you see I already friended (or is it befriended) you. : )

Wow, that’s really neat! @jane-maree y @graciegirl may I ask why you both started learning Spanish? I love to hear people’s stories.

Eso es excelente, @jane-maree! Wow, there’s two! How long have you been learning Spanish? How do you learn it?

@kina-lamb GOODNESS I literally came across ‘Fluencia’ yesterday!!

@graciegirl oops, didn’t tag you correctly.

@gracie-girl Okay, confession time. I did have to look up aprendo. But otherwise, I understood you without google translate! To answer you, I will have to speak ingles because I’m feeling too lazy right now to reach for the mouse and look up how to say ‘excited’ in español. I have been learning Spanish for about half of a year, but I’ve been…[Read more]
