@sam-kowal Thanks!  As you probably know by now, I took a look at the doc.  It actually helped a lot as an explanation of what I need to fix.

I definitely can’t use your examples – because his voice totally changes in them from my version of his voice. 🙂  But I consider that a good thing because otherwise I’d feel like you had written it in…[Read more]

@ingridrd Last night I lost about 500 words of a short story when my computer failed. 🙁  For some reason it didn’t even autosave.  So now I’m trying to remember what I had written and re-write it.

@ingridrd Hello yourself.  What type of world-building?

@ingridrd Okay, I’m here.  Maybe now I’ll have the courage to rewrite those 500 words I lost last night.

@bella-d I think the first way people learn to make relationships is when someone else forces them out of their shell into a relationship.  I know this may seem cliche, but I think the reason it works so well in fiction is because it is like that in real life.  I have seen traumatized and withdrawn people who opened up after a lot of patience a…[Read more]

@seekjustice I just remembered: We have a friend who wrote a really successful series and got it published by a publishing company instead of self-publishing.  He says that he has a lot of trouble with that because when he goes to conferences and such to sell his books and do book-signings, he has to actually get permission and buy the books f…[Read more]

@kaya-young I actually haven’t seen the movie, but I’m sure if I did I’d like the book better.  I have a standard rule which usually is correct, that if the book was written first, it’s better than the movie, and if the movie was made first, it’s better than the book. 🙂  However, once I found out that in the movie Charlotte was voiced by Debbie R…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well the kids series is just simple, clean, adventure stories for about ages 8-14.  Four brothers and sisters go underground, in the mountains, to Florida, and solve a few mysteries. 😉  I’ve gotten really good reviews on them since I published the first two in 2014.

The novel is a time travel book I finished in 2016 but we’ve had a…[Read more]

@seekjustice By the way, have you ever published a book before?  I’ve published 7 so far, though none as grand as yours.  6 books in a kids series and a 300 page novel.  No real themes to speak of.  But just wondering what your publishing experience is.

@seekjustice Or the fact that they’re staying up til 2 discussing it with you?  🙂  I’m in the US on the East Coast.

@seekjustice I’m glad I didn’t lose it after all.  Whew!  At least now I only have one thing to rewrite. 🙂

Oh Hooray!  I found it!  It disappeared for a little while, but clicking back into “history” I was able to salvage it. 🙂  Here it is:

@seekjustice That’s a little hard to answer, actually, since I come from the same viewpoint and am automatically reading it assuming she did something wrong, and interpreting what’s written to read that she did so…[Read more]

@seekjustice Can the same thing happen twice in one night?!!!  I just wrote a really long response to your questions and lost it all!  I’ll try to rewrite it if I decide I have the patience. 🙂

@seekjustice Thanks, I tried that, but it’s really gone.  🙁 Oh well.

@kaya-young Welcome!  Did you possibly get your topic title, (Salutations,) from Charlotte’s Web?

@waterlily *tearfully accepts sympathy* *cheers up* Maybe!  I hope so.  I remember the gist of what I wrote, so I’ll go from there.  I guess 500 words doesn’t seem like a whole lot in novel terms, but it was for a short story, so a whole page missing is probably about an eighth of the whole thing.

Somebody sympathize with me, please!  I just found out I lost probably five hundred words that weren’t autosaved when my computer died!  🙁  I was really stupid not to save it every five minutes, but it’s too late now, and it’s all gone.
