@mariposa  I love to draw!  That does not mean that I am good at it, however.  🙂  I also enjoy painting!

Here’s an *awful* one I wrote for a novella I’ve started…

Finnegan “the Mistake” Lane has learned to expect the insults and bullying from his own sister—and in some cases, his parents.  What he doesn’t expect is to get kicked out of the house and sent to live with a crazy aunt he doesn’t know whose home people are afraid to set foot in.

@dekreel  My w-weaknesses as a writer?  *pulls out 100-foot-long list*  Let’s see here.

I care too much about what other people think.  I have a tendency to view myself as not good enough in relation to writing.

@winter-rose  Praying that God will continue to guide you…!  🙂

@mariposa  That’s fantastic!  *stares in awe*

@inkling-for-christ  First off, great job!  And congratulations on being brave enough to want feedback.  Now for my suggestions…*rubs hands together*

Okay, this may come as a shock to you, but my first thought was “delete the entire first chapter”.  It seems sort of unnecessary and a lot of it just dumps info instead of showing.  (Sorry, tryi…[Read more]

@salome01w4g  YESSS!!!!  Praise the Lord!

@dragon-snapper  Not too shabby, my friend.  😉  In other words, it’s really good.  I loooove the collage.  Nice work.  *high five*

@perfectfifths   The Fellowship of the Ring…I think Pippin says it.  😉

@salome01w4g  That’s rough…praying for you, friend!

@shannon and @dekreel

*eyes cookies and milk*  Shucks.  I can’t right now…though the refreshments look delicious.  Have fun!

@daughteroftheking  *shakes finger*  Not yet.  Don’t be naughty.

I like your new profile picture! 😉

@emma-flournoy  Thanks, girl! 😉

@daughteroftheking  Of course!  When it’s finished, of course.  I’m actually pretty close to done!  🙂 🙂 🙂

@dekreel  Oooooo….ahhhhhh.  😉

@shannon  I don’t know about you, but when I first think of a character, I think of a face/name…and something about them that is weird.  That really helps to get the creative juices flowing a little bit.

When you are actually writing characters, don’t.  Make.  Them.  Perfect.  Make them real.  Make them relatable.  Give them a problem and/or…[Read more]

@dekreel  That’s great news!  Congratulations!  *shakes your hand vigorously*

(And I must echo @dragon-snapper‘s question because I am just as curious…don’t feel obligated to put me into the story but…maybe?)

@dragon-snapper  You got mine.  That one was kinda easy.  😉

I’ve got one.

“We need a plan of attack!”

“I have a plan: attack!”

@dekreel  Thanks!
