@dragon-Snapper *cackles* It’s called condescension, darling, and I’m quite good at it. *pats your head**nimbly dodges any and all attempts at melting*
Let’s take this moment to appreciate the fact that the role of “Chosen One” is one of the biggest cliches in modern fantasy, right up there with the Dread Bearded Mentors.
*cough* Just sayin’…

A+ gif usage. It almost makes up for your lowly status as Official Honey Lamb and Darling Child. @dragon-snapper

@Dragon-Snapper, if my only legacy was to get the entire world calling you kid, then it was still worth it.

Thanks @kate-flournoy and @dekreel! Good advice. 😀 Theme… that’s what I was missing. Thanks Kate! @Dekreel, those are some good things to consider! Thanks!
@kate-flournoy I can’t wait to see you (and @emma-flournoy and the rest of the family) tonight! 😀

Hi y’all!
I’ve got a question for you:
In what order do you write your stories?
Figure out the plot then start writing it? Or is there another step?
As some of you may know, my WIP is a children’s book about my great-grandpa’s story in the Armenian genocide. Grandpa was just here so we sat down, pulled out the manuscripts great-grandpa left…[Read more]

Aaaaaand look at that, @Sam-Kowal summed up everything I said first. Wish I’d seen that before I gave the spew. XD

@Shannon Ooooooooh boy. I’m probably not the most qualified to say anything on this subject, as I’ve had horrible struggles with my own characters, but… here goes anyway.
Like you, I’ve never had much luck with character questionnaires. And I think maybe the reason for that is because answering a bunch of black-and-white questions with equally…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy WAIT, HOW DID I NOT KNOW DUNSTAN GETS HIS OWN BOOK? That’s cool.
And honestly, Victorious doesn’t bother me too much. Granted, it’s not the kind of title that smacks you in the heart, but neither is it grating, like, say, Finding Freedom! or something horribly cliche like that. If you do end up keeping that title, I wouldn’t…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy *dies* This is great. I’ve been waiting for your very thorough say so, and child, let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint.
Considering I’m not trying to market my synopsis yet, I think I’m just going to go with the first, slightly longer one (with your suggestions applied, of course, because I like them), and deal with the length…[Read more]

Okay, peeps, how’s this?
It is a well-accepted fact in the province of Reed that Fairy Godmothers do exist. You might even have one, if you meet all the requirements to be a Distressed Personage, or your father pays enough money. And if you’re lucky — really, truly lucky — you might be one of those rare few who are chosen at random to recei…[Read more]

Heeeey…
So, I kinda wrote a synopsis for my outlined novel. (Yes, I haven’t even started writing the dumb thing yet, but I need a synopsis for… REASONS. *solemn nod* Plus, they’re handy things to have lying around. I’ll change what I have to when the book is finished. So.)
Having never written a synopsis (or anything even remotely resembling a sy…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper *dashes in, late to the party, as usual* This, my friend, is why you’re my friend. That was beautiful.
Happy late Thanksgiving y’all, and may we never forget to rejoice in God for the blessings he has given us.

@Seekjustice I have literally no clue what this conversation is about, but I have been summoned from the great depths of the… deep… and I feel it my duty to make my opinions on this subject clear:
Legolas is awesome.
Elves, in general, are awesome.
That is the beginning and end of the discussion. Thus says the official KP elf.
