I’m writing!

*crosses fingers* I’d better make progress…

Wow. Guys, I am literally tearing up  X’)

@jane-maree

God doesn’t make mistakes.

So true. It’s easy to take for granted how we’re all masterpieces. Thank you for the reminder!

@that_writer_girl_99

As I was reading your reply, I started praying “Thy will be done.” I shouldn’t expect myself to be something. Who says God will make everything “r…[Read more]

@Dekreel basically what has already been said. I struggle with this too. Especially recently. I found an author whose skill in my chosen genre is so crazily far beyond my own I don’t dare dream I’ll ever reach it.

And much as I hate to admit this, that thought drives me absolutely bonkers.

It’s not that I’m jealous of him, just that I loathe…[Read more]

@dekreel God’s writing a story right here, right now.

When I’ve doubted and struggled (which happens all the time), the only where I can turn is to my favorite (and, tbh, sometimes least favorite) author and say, “I trust you to write this story till its final, marvelous end.”

Now that I’ve done the popular thing and given the best advice I can…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong  YES I WANT TO DRAW EMBER! WOOHOO!

Ahem, sorry. *sheepish grin*  I’d like to give it a shot 😀

Ohh, unless you want Ari to do it…

@daeus  Ahhh, Oops, my bad X’D

Well, it’s still a good idea XD

@supermonkey42  I’m impressed by you going through all of the archives! Do you read every single post?

@dekreel This topic is two years old, back when Sarah was still with us.

@valtmy  Sure! Mind putting it in record/suggest/comment mode for us? 🙂

@daeus  I need to read more! I’m in! Go for it!! 😀

And I agree with @spradlin — a chapter a week. I’m busy

I’m excited for this idea!!

Spradlin — Wait, you’re still here?! I though you left KP! 😀

@aislinn-mollisong

Honestly, from what I’ve seen, it seems better to not directly describe the moves a character is doing in a fight scene, and instead focus on the emotion and feel of it. Allow me to demonstrate:

Original – “John executed a perfect overhand cut, which Xavier quickly blocked with a hanging point.”

And yes, I did just pull two…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 Can’t remember exactly. It was either lack of involvement or I didn’t have enough time.

Oh, one more question. Do you prefer the ending lines:

“Awestruck to see that in dark the lights dance”

or

“Awestruck to see that in night the lights dance”

???

Thanks everyone! @emma-flournoy @ariella-newheart @rochellaine

I think I’ve got it now. I’ll come back to this a few months from now to see if I can make any small improvements, but I think it’s generally solid. 😀

@ethryndal  Have you done mine yet?

@daeus Thankee. *bows* Well, I tried incorporating small ‘good’ things and it’s been a lot let dismal lately. I think I just let Ike gnaw on dismal’ness’ for too long. XD

@sarah-anson I really like the italicized bit you said there. *nods* I agree. Thanks!

@anne-of-lothlorien  AHH those are great!

Waaaaait, did you copy mine? XD

@warrioroftherealm *salutes* Awesome!

@christianna-hellwig @rochellaine @emma-flournoy @that_writer_girl_99

Thanks so much for your suggestions, everyone! Here’s what I have now.

“Oh, stars that remember the firstthings forgotten
How earth and its peoples were early begotten
They looked and beheld through a pane of dark glass
The earth in a swirling, untamable mass
From darkness f…[Read more]

@daeus

Well done sir. The style and feel is very reminiscent of Tolkien (in a good way). #Silmarillion

One of the highlights of my afternoon!
