@bethanysinkyroses that would be @sierra-r and I have forgotten Cindy’s as well. 😛

The first thing that strikes me as I read your summary here is that you’ve focused a lot on symbolism.
That’s a good thing. But it can also be a hindrance. In my experience, when I focus too much on the symbolism of a thing, it comes out one-dimensional as only…[Read more]

Brutally honest post

A four. It’s sprawling and epic and boring. It seems like you want to tackle too many things at once. I wouldn’t worry about weirdness. But if you (personally) believe the story is as you described above, then I think it’ll be too big to handle. You can still keep (probably) all those elements, but if you think that’s what…[Read more]

Only if you make it cliche. Cliche means it’s overdone. It’s something the audience has seen before. It’s predictable. So, sure, go ahead and start with a “cliche” premise.

@seekjustice @jane-maree @salome01w4g We were a lively bunch tonight. 😛 I wrote 339 (ew) and finished editing 1/3 of a chapter! Adios amigos!

Hey people! A good song for writing (in my opinion) is Time by Hans Zimmer –from Inception, an awesome movie (also in my opinion). It starts out very quiet, but it builds! And power!

@jane-maree Just curious…you wouldn’t happen to have some pizza would you? 😀

Annnnd…I am so sorry. Oops…😑

. @reaganramm Good stuff…I keep thinking that I have to go and check Scrivener out as so many people have recommended it. Must do that! 😄
@mariposa. Yes, thank you I will check the Mandisa song out. And I really like all of those songs too! 😆@joy. Great! Especially Youtube: epic free music!!! 😜 And I love medieval music too, though I’ve…[Read more]

@salome01w4g @seekjustice @jane-maree I’m here! Write/edit time!

@winter-rose I blame @xonos-darkgrate‘s profile pic. XD

@emily Yeah, I do. 🙂 I like trying to draw (key-word “trying”) and painting.

@catwing Oh dear. It ate him…

I’ve got to go now. I edited quite a bit. 😀
