@sam-kowal If Stan ever becomes famous he is more than welcome to post his quotes here. 🙂

Another quote I love, everyone:

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be.  Now put the foundations under them.”

                                           Henry David Thoreau

I think that’s great for…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I’ve switched between multiple POVs in several of my books and have read many books with multiple POVs.  Most books with multiple POVs that I read were not confusing.  One book was extremely confusing – in fact so confusing that I only read about two chapters because I had no idea what was going on. 🙂

I believe the reason multiple P…[Read more]

@perfectfifths Yes!  Apparently calling someone a crow is not nearly as bad as calling someone “carrots”.  😀

@ingridrd I would hand you virtual blueberries but according to my story, those aren’t satisfying.  😀

@seekjustice A robber who steals parts of walls?  That is hilarious!  It reminds me of Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance who have strict rules about what kind of ships they are allowed to attack honorably. 🙂 Wikipedia article he…[Read more]

@seekjustice Is that the scene where the marriage is interrupted by his wife, and Jane decides to leave?

@sam-kowal Ooh, that puts kind of a big responsibility on us, doesn’t it?

(I actually meant anyone, whether famous or not, so it’s all good. 🙂 )

@ingridrd Do either of these work?

This one                That one

@seekjustice That. Was. Epic.

*accidentally kills someone*

Hahaha!

Love it! And please do.

@jenwriter17 Oh, oh, *whimpers* I can’t tonight.  I’d love to, but I’ve got to go now.

Have fun, and good writing!

@seekjustice Glad you liked it!  Thanks for the suggestions.  I really like Caleb, Tommy, and Peter.

@jenwriter17 Blueberries forever! 😀

Actually I like blueberries a lot, but they aren’t my favorite fruit by any means.  I just was trying to come up with a quick story to tell my baby sister when she needed to be distracted, and out of my mo…[Read more]

@amily-huddleston I am romantic and practical at the same time – if that’s possible. 😀

I agree that relating with characters feels easier in realistic fiction.  I feel like when I read fantasy, even if there is a wonderful character arc and the characters face problems that I should relate to, I say “Well, this is fantasy, so it can’t happen in…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, that’s a hilarious quote!  I don’t know what it’s from, but it reminds me of Captain Kirk’s quote from Star Trek TOS where he says “What does God need with a starship?” to the alien who is pretending to be God to try to get them to give him their ship. 😀  I think I’ve also heard a similar quote somewhere else.

Come on, I gave y…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha! You should totally write author-character conversations and post/publish them along with your books.

@seekjustice I put a link to the Wikipedia article in my previous post.  Redshirts on Star Trek became so famous that they became a trope.  To be a redshirt means that you are brought onto the show for the sole purpose of dying. 🙂 Basically.  Read the article Here.

@jenwriter17 Hahaha!  😀 But sometimes I don’t like it, because I have such a fearful imagination that if the character gets hurt, if I am paying enough attention to the story that part of my body will actually start to hurt.  I have several times had to stop reading to rub my “stubbed” toe or pinch the bridge of my nose to cure my “headache”.

@jenwriter17 *hands you a handkerchief* Thank you!  I feel so sorry for @seekjustice‘s characters.  I believe to be a character in Seekjustice’s book promises about as sure a death as to be a RedShirt on Star Trek, TOS. 🙂

@valtmy Those are great suggestions!  I really like the thought that some people might get irritated with her needing them to be with her all the time.

Her aunt and uncle actually don’t live on a ranch.  They live in a house in the middle of the city. (Las Vegas).  They are medium strong Christians, and very laid-back.  They either don’t have chi…[Read more]

Hi everyone!  I have a children’s picture book I’m planning to publish around the end of this month or the beginning of next month. (I am currently working with an illustrator.)  But though the story is complete, I didn’t pick a name for the protagonist, and I think it would be a smoother read if he had a name.

So here is a document with the s…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 You know you’re a bookworm when you get so engrossed in a book that when a character shrugs, you shrug, and when a character bangs his head, you get a headache.

You know you’re a bookworm if when you were twelve if you were reading your mom had to physically shake you before you could hear her talking. (I trained myself out of that…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Yes, or a book.  My quote is from a popular girls book written about a Canadian island circa 1900…Does that give anyone clues?

@kaya-young That sounds like it came from a movie – but then, I really only watch classic movies, so how would I know? 😀  Is it from Disney?
