If you’ve got that all down, I bout your story could be too dismal. Problems tend to intensify stories. It’s only stories…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper Is this problem arising in the current story you’re working on, or all of them as a whole? Because child, I’m almost finished reading your book, and I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. If anything, I was going to say that you need to focus more on the emotion, not less. Is this a response from beta-reader feedback, or…[Read more]

Alrighty, guys…
I could use some help on this front. I’ve learned pretty well over the past few months how to show and not tell, but I actually am using that too much.
Don’t get me wrong. Always show over tell, but my problem is that I’m focusing way too much on the emotion. And Ike… Zelaya, they’ve all gone dismal.
How do I refocus my…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper heyyyyy! Thanks so much.
Well I hope it will be. And yes it is about me. I told an older gentleman in our church who is also a writer and he said, “It seems to me a person of your age wouldn’t have much to write about.” LOL
That is awesome! What are you writing? Cool blog, I skimmed through real quick.
Ice cream is awesome.

So to those of you who remember my post about wanting to do a NaNoWriMo thing in either January or February, well January didn’t work out as planned. At the beginning of January we had company and then after that I unexpectedly ended up in the hospital for a while. Yes, I’m fine, doing better every day. But the point is I’m story if you were…[Read more]

@rochellaine Oh, yeah. 😛
I didn’t think so, which is why I stopped at four verses. But now I want to try – it just may take longer.
Hole, thread, cut, sharpen, stone, water, well… Oh, I know, it gets too late to go to the well, so you have to sleep. With what shall I sleep with? With a blanket! There’s a hole in my blanket! XD

@rochellaine One thing about sewing… the thread can never be too long (okay, maybe it can, but better too long than too short). But yes, it is a pun, and I didn’t realise it until you said so. XD I was just making my own version of the song “There’s a Hole in My Bucket.”

You know you’re a writer when you hear about someone else’s experiences and think: “Hey! I can make a character like that!”
All the time. Can’t keep up with it 😛

You know you’re a writer when, as you’re playing solitaire, you’re forming a story idea in your mind about four kingdoms who were scattered apart by enemies, and are forced to cooperate and work together to rebuild them
