Oh dear, sounds rough. I’m praying for your friend.

@rochellaine

Just read your post about the adoption. Will pray for your family and the kids too! Hope it goes well and gets settled soon.

@ariel-ashira

Aww… These poems are so fun and cute.

@ariel-ashira *lights confetti canon* *confetti canon explodes and rains confetti on one and all* Splendid poems!
Overlordish meow… hehehe…

@annaberens *sweeps into room* Many welcomes!!! All your WIPs sound really cool, especially the Beauty and the Beast retelling. I love the names you came up with!!!! They definitely sound like books I would pick up at the library because I’m intrigued by the title. Do you have a favorite kind of music?

@celticcailin Sorry I didn’t respond sooner. I don’t feel comfortable sharing my email (it has my real name in it), but if there’s any other way I can help, please let me know!

@gh24682468999 Yes, I’ve partially writerified my family. *rubs hands together*

Yay for describing everyday life! I love doing that.

@filewriterbase13x Hooray!! I love KP lit!! *streamers rain down on the whole thread* I don’t feel strongly about being a character, but if you need a tiger in it, Reggie volunteers! He’s my guard tiger that protects me from the various hazards of being a writer. He’s a little odd, very involuntary and concise. (that’s how he describes himself,…[Read more]

My rule of thumb is that main characters should be both bright and deep. “Bright” as in they have some qualities that you (and hopefully your readers) find interesting (note: this is not the same as likable or attractive). “Deep” means that these traits come from a source (the characters’ past or background) that should at least be…[Read more]

@celticcailin Hi there! I don’t think we’ve met. *shakes your hand heartily* I don’t write songs, but I do get very into critiquing the ones I listen to. 😛 So, if you want a full rant about what I’ve noticed, I’d be happy to oblige! But I need to go right now, talk to you later!

@juliawrites4christ Thank you! I love creating characters too. It’s fun when they take on a life of their own, even if they get stubborn and decide to change the plot. 😛

@kaya-young

Yep that was the plan. That’s why I introduced plot points such as the other members of the imperial family, the history of the empire, the assassin etc. because they will be relevant to the ‘adventure’ part of things.

But not everything was linking up and making sense. That’s why I have been stuck on this story for a long time and I…[Read more]

@seekjustice Thank you for checking in, my foot is behaving itself! *stern look at foot* I don’t know when I’ll have to have not-quite-surgery on it, but hopefully not for a while, years possibly. It’s up to factors out of my control, but fortunately God is in control. The other foot is almost completely healed now, and I’m back to running around…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Glad you liked it!

My original idea was a sort of Man vs God thing. It draws upon the belief that our lives are ruled by “Fate” that was prevalent in ancient China.

Basically the setting is a story world where “Fate” appears to cause lots of silly love stories to happen and the “Rules” are basically just all the…[Read more]

@mnvalentine

Hmm… yes maybe that will work. I was planning on having a more sweeping epic but maybe a tighter story might suit the premise better. Thanks!

@introvert_girl

Sure no problem.

@skye

Welcome fellow INTJ to the bestistest place on the internet! Hope you enjoy yourself here! 😀

So what are your favourite books?

@rochellaine

Yeah I think I might do that. Thanks!

@juliawrites4christ Welcome!! *bows and sweeps cape dramatically* I love historical fiction. What’s your favorite part of writing?

@mnvalentine

I agree with what everyone else has said. I think the problem has to do with the pacing and the passiveness of the main character. There is a lot of description that slow the story down and much of the information conveyed through dialogue could have easily been summed up in a few lines.

Just some thoughts…
