I am *sigh* working on the first few chapters of my WIP. It is frustrating because I do want to get some betas soon (since it’s a comedy, I really do need to get objective opinions on whether the humour is working before I proceed any further) but I can’t exactly do that right now. My first chapter is done, my third chapter is……[Read more]

NC Stokes replied to the topic Would You Rather Character Edition in the forum Characters 8 years, 3 months ago
@dekreel Katie would rather be rescued, although she would be realy embarrassed and probably choose not to climb anything for a while anyway. But, it’s going to be essential to the plot for her to be able to climb, so hehe *turns to Katie* Sorry about that, dear.
@jenwriter17 Katie would choose the parachute. She would have no idea how to fly a…[Read more]

Jenna would rather forget who she is, have a perfect life and a terrible past, be portrayed as an animated character, and be loved by all.
Would your character rather have to be rescued from a tree by firefighters, or never be able to climb something again? Jenna would rather be rescued…

@ariella-newheart Katie would rather be loved, Brant would rather be feared, Jasper would rather be loved, and Ogden would rather just continue his anonymous existence. Not being known is kind of the point of moving into the woods and becoming a grumpy hermit. 😛
Would your character rather face their greatest fear or have their worst secret told?

@warrenluther04 Welcome back!! Yeah, I’ll accept you back. AS LONG AS YOU STAY LOYAL! 😉
I think The Kingdom of Pen and the… what do you call that place… what, Embria? Emberland? Um… 😛 Anyway, I think the two should be separate, but still associated with each other. Like frenemies. Maybe. I don’t know.
I like the network of islands idea!

@seekjustice @daughteroftheking You guys are making my heart feel so warm right now!

NC Stokes replied to the topic PRAYER REQUESTS #2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 3 months ago
Writing is an “alone-y” sort of thing. We sit in our caves, or corners, or hidey holes, and turn ideas into worlds and people. We may be surrounded by make-believe characters, but if an innocent bystander were to peek into our writing spaces, they would see a teenager on a laptop (or notebook. Or even phone, I won’t judge.). Just one teenager. But…[Read more]

@alia Coolio. So, who’s been ruling in the royal family’s place?

@gh24682468999Â @dekreel I guess the excuse “I’m doing research” only gets us so far. XD

Piggybacking on what @daughteroftheking said:
You know you are a writer when you wish there was a way to test if a knife or sword is actually stained red after someone stabs somebody… without hurting someone.

NC Stokes replied to the topic Pen Names in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 3 months ago
@jenwriter17 I chose to use a pen name, simply because I don’t want my real name circulating around on the interweb. 🙂 I’ve never published anything, though. If I do, I will use my pen name. For now, I just use it on writerish websites like this one.

Joy replied to the topic Pen Names in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 3 months ago
@jenwriter17Â I suppose it depends on how much you want to protect your identity. Personally, I use a pen name because my real name isn’t common in the USA, so it would be easy to search for on the internet, therefore, more prone to people nosing about my personal information.
But I don’t know how rare your name is. *grins*
That’s all I got. 🙂

You know you’re a writer when you go into the backyard to wave a stick around aggressively, pretending to fight wolves and whatnot. One of my characters fights with a staff. It’s RESERCH. I’m being PROFESSIONAL. Not just having way too much fun. RESERCH, I tell you.

@alia Well, why did she kidnap the princess in the first place? Was she the one who put the sleeping spell on the royal family?

@ingridrd Hello! I finished reading Substitute Wednesday, but I’m just now giving you the critiques. Oops. Because I can’t make comments, I just typed up my critiques. Please forgive me if I sound harsh. I tried to critique it like a book I didn’t know the author of and didn’t know anything about.

Sorry this is such a late response! I was in Tennessee for a week with limited internet access. Anyway, THANK YOU so very much for your comments and taking the time to read my story! And you were most definitely not too harsh. I needed some critical feedback. 🙂 Thanks again!
Glad to be of service! I enjoyed reading it.
