@dragon-snapper How can I submit feedback for Sector One? I don’t have Word, so I can’t make any Word comments.
😀 It’s great, by the way, for a general two-word piece of feedback -

😀 Ice cream and frozen yogurt actually don’t affect the fire-breathing, because Stan can’t really breathe fire anyway. Plus, Stan’s fire ducts aren’t in his stomach. If they were, it’d be drinking water that dragons would have to worry about…

@bell-d 😀 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!
Stan is thrilled to have you here 😀 (Stan is my orange dragon pal)
It’s cool that you like historical fiction. I like it, too, but I tend not to write it. I write fantasy, although I love history itself 😀

@dekreel XD It’s alright, take your time and write it how you want it. Don’t worry about over-planning things, just write how it comes naturally to you. There’s sort of two main kinds of writers; planners, and discoverers. Planners get everything p…[Read more]

Sam Kowal replied to the topic Which Idea Should I Tackle Next? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 8 months ago
@jenwriter17 😛 Well, of course it all depends on which one you feel like you have most inspiration and ideas to write. Those are some great ideas, though. 3 and 4 are especially interesting-sounding.
I would go for 3 or 4. The futuristic sci-fi of them sounds like a great setting, and there seems to be a lot of space for tough choices and…[Read more]

Snapper replied to the topic Which Idea Should I Tackle Next? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 8 months ago
I love those ideas. All of them.
If you’re looking to pick one though…um… yikes. I was just trying to decide this for myself, actually.
And I’m horrible at making decisions on this stuff.
So throwing my vote, #2 and #3.

Welcome to Kingdom Pen! Ummm… question that no one has thought of yet.
Aha! Do you like mushrooms?

@ethryndal You know, seeing your post just made me realize that I don’t have to write like everyone else, that I can go with my own style and structure. I can’t believe I didn’t realize that until now. *bops forehead* So thank you for saving me!
I am just SO TIRED of over-planning! I just wanna WRITE!
I’ll see what I can do! *nervous…[Read more]

Hmmm…
I like all of them… I’m sort of leaning on #2, the Christian contemporary. It sounds powerful. But I also really like #3 because it just fascinates me how Christianity spreads even in places like that. #4 would make a good short story 🙂
Yeah, #3 🙂

@itisastarrynight *looks in awe of raspberry sunshine*
@inklingforchrist Good question. I honestly don’t know. Every time I start a novel, it’s a big fear of mine that it’s not going to be very long at all. But even if your novels are short, it’s okay. My only suggestion for making books longer is adding in more conflict between characters and…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong 😀 Now, you just need a nice heavy electronic beat to go along with a robot singing XD
Those are actually really neat, though. (Once you disregard the extra text XD) I love when stories have in-world songs and lore, it makes them feel much more rich and solid. And having them as chapter headings is a really good idea 😀

@jenwriter17 The chair melting thing is basically what I do when I’m not happy with something. It’s my forum ‘signature’. 😉

@mnvalentine 😀 That’s interesting
It does all make sense, because I have read some urban fantasy. It’s more…breezy, and simple, in language, I think. Not like some high fantasy, which delves deep into rich language and carefully described scenery. Maybe I’ll try urban sometime 😛

All right, so basically, you can work on it any way you want. If you work on it Google docs, that’s fine. If you work on it for something else, that’s fine too. Once I receive it I’m able to convert it into a Word document. I only said that I don’t do google docs because that’s not exactly how I send it to people.
Does that work?
Yep, that does. I think I’ll use Google Docs, and then you can convert it how you like after that. Can I use the email that you used to send me the original draft to share the doc with you?
Yeah, you could use the doc and then share it with me when you’re done. But as you’re working on it I probably won’t reply to comments. 😉
Okay. I’ll comment on everything I can think of then before I share it with you
😉
*Roars and screams like a sugar addicted baby dragon*
Apparently, I can’t do anything to the Sector One word document. Not even cut and paste out of it. Because I haven’t paid for it… so I guess I can retype the story by hand?
Unless you can type 10,000 words an hour, I’m pretty sure that would be unreasonable.
Let me try to resend it to you…
Or, if you open the email I sent you with the doc, click on the thing (not download) there should be a button somewhere that says ‘open in google docs’. Do you see that anywhere?
Yep, I opened it that way. And it works. Good thinking 😀
@dragon-snapper Yeah, I opened it in Google Docs, and that let me edit it. I haven’t had a ton of time to make comments on it, though. It’s fun to do, though. Shredding, picking apart, and being impressed with another writer’s work is strangely therapeutic 😀 😀 *evil laugh*
When are you looking to have comments in on it?
Actually, I just had an idea. Maybe I can use my precious free trial of Office and get access to at least cutting and pasting, if not uploading
@sam-kowal Did you get it figured out? 😀
