Random social stranger at a random social function: “Oh, you write books? Cool! What’s your book about?”
Me, randomly trying to function socially: *stilted grin and shivering, nervous laugh* “Here, let me… let me…” *digs out notebook with a triumphant flourish* “I wrote it down!”

@kate-flournoy And now it’s working. Weird. But I’ll still take that chocolate.
Oh yeah. I would love it if someone said something — not “What’s your book about?” — to “Here’s my email so you can send me the book.” XD But of course…I’d rather not give my email to random strangers.
No thanks.
Yeah. Definitely need more practice. “Hi, mirror.…[Read more]

@that_writer_Girl_99 XD Sorry. I haven’t been on in a while… My brain must be losing its automatic tags.

@Dragon-Snapper ugh I am so sorry. I have no idea why it does that to you. *offers you conciliatory chocolate*
Yeah… trying to pitch your book on the spur of the moment is torture. Especially if the person is just trying to make conversation and you can tell they really don’t care. And then you walk away from the encounter and think of a dozen…[Read more]

@valtmy Welcome to KP! 😀
@sam-kowal ‘s right. But worry not, I’ve tried to instigate a rebellion myself. XD Even though I’m the one who made @daeus king.
Anyway, randomness aside; I’m Dragon Snapper. Most people here just call me Snapper though, cause why would you have to write down Dragon Snapper EVERY SINGLE TIME. XD
Glad to see another…[Read more]

Okay, sorry about that ‘k’. It was the only thing I could type in before the strange link sent me to @kate-flournoy‘s website. XD
Anyway…
This is a hilarious topic, because yeah, people do kind of look at you strange when you say you’re a writer. “Ah…”
And they ask what your book is about. But the book your writing is a sequel, so you…[Read more]

@mariposa XD Now I have a combination of “Shiny” “Rumor Weed” “Cheeseburger” “The Pirates who don’t do anything” and “Hairbrush” stuck in my head.
Not cool.

Hey guys!
So, I’m just going to say it…. writing’s been hard lately. I just started another novel–10,000 words through– but as I write, I really have to force myself to keep going. I try to write well, of course, but I feel almost disconnected from my book. I can write as fast as I used to if I force myself to, if I really really try, but I…[Read more]

@jenwriter17Â my most memorable and embarrassing writerly moment will always be the time I had to explain to the chiropractor that my hip was out of place because I slipped on our hardwood floor choreographing a fight scene… he was very nice about it, but the startled, slightly skeptical sidelong look he gave me, and the funny little laugh,…[Read more]

@rochellaine Sounds awesome! Is it set in today’s times?
I would love to read it! 😀

@jenwriter17 I like that kind of moss too, but I’m talking about Spanish Moss, which is totally different, and even more cool. It’s a kind of moss that grows on the branches of trees and hangs down beautifully and mysteriously.

Sounds interesting! I’ve read a few similar to this, but I like where this is going 😀

I’ll definitely check it out when I’m done here!
(Ha, I know all about long rambling, that’s me all the time…Usually concerning something I either love or hate).
Time travel indeed! I was once listening to an American pastor on a podcast who left America on a flight to Australia and completely skipped over his birthday (I think…[Read more]

@seekjustice Finally finished that post. It was really hard, because I’ve never written a synopsis for this particular book before, and I don’t usually figure out the entire plot before I write, but just a general idea. But anyway, it’s there, so if you’d like to see about it, go ahead. 🙂
(I do actually have more plans than what I wrote in th…[Read more]

This doesn’t have a name yet, but it is supposed to be a contemporary novel set in the American West with a plot similar to the old Westerns. This is not a book blurb, just an explanation of what it’s about.
Chara (Sh-ah-ra) Doran visits her uncle and aunt in Nevada. She is a five-foot-tall nineteen-year-old who is self-conscious about her s…[Read more]
