ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm …. I’m not sure if I should tell you that, @daeus . It’s kinda a secret.

I actually do chapter outlines and scene outlines, (nothing fancy, just between 1 word and 2 sentences that remind me and summarize what takes place) usually after I’ve already written them and they are partly finished, just so I know at a glance what takes place in them.

I haven’t written my whole novel yet so I don’t know if this works for me,…[Read more]

I really, really love you guys! 🙂

Seriously, this writing community is the best thing that’s ever happened to me as a writer.

@bluejay, that is helpful. 🙂 And your day sounds awesome! It’s steamy hot here.

@daeus , your question hit the nail on the head for me. When I asked myself that question I discovered that what really makes me so…[Read more]

@Daeus — Okay, never mind then. I was tired last night. 🙂

Since we are seeing Miss Morton through Watson’s eyes, even if she did have some small weakness he (and therefore, we) would probably be blind to it since he’s in love with her.

@bluejay– That sounds like fun. Where I am, it’s over 100 degrees. 🙂
@overcomer – I’ve only written a long short story, but what I learned probably applies to a novel, too. With my story, I had the basic outline in my head, so I sat down and tried to write it in order, starting from the beginning. I kept getting stuck on little things though,…[Read more]

Anybody up for a late night write? 🙂

I don’t think she lacks vulnerability, @daeus . You can see her sensitiveness in chapter two. She seems pretty vulnerable to me then, ‘though she doesn’t complain or whine to them about how she feels or what she’s been through. That would be none of their business since she doesn’t really know them yet.

She’s very British and level-headed.…[Read more]

It’s actually pretty easy, @kate-flournoy. *Tries to explain and fails* *finds quick video instead* Try this. 🙂

And thanks! 🙂

Come’on @daeus , that line is totally classic. Of course, I’ve seen it more times than I can count, so I ought to know it by now.

Nice usage, by the way, @kate-flournoy. Made me 🙂

I got some writing done too, but later than you guys, when I really ought to have been asleep and really wasn’t planning to write at all but was suddenly struck…[Read more]

Yes it is, @winter-rose . It’s actually the only podcast I listen to. Feel free to recommend others if you know of any good ones, although I honestly doubt that any could be as good as his. 🙂

I sorta draw dragons. That is, my main character in the novel I’m writing is a dragon, and I wanted to be real descriptive in my writing so I thought it…[Read more]

I’m glad you liked it, @kate-flournoy . 🙂 I almost didn’t post it because I thought it might be too weird … and I kinda cheated because the prompt reminded me of an idea I had had before for a Sci Fi story so, I really just wrote a new scene based on it. The leaves were my favorite part. 😀
