@seekjustice Oh, haha.  I’ve done that, too.  Going back through old notes/writings and just thinking, “How could I have forgotten this?!” (That happened with my Daughter of Judas book.  I forgot about it for a long time and was really excited when I reread the beginning.) 😛

Their last name is Doran.  Chara Doran, and she has a single bro…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha, it’s currently 81 degrees Fahrenheit here, but I remember winter well and can definitely sympathize! 😉  My favorite morning song has lyrics which you might appreciate:

“Oh it’s nice to get up in the mornin’ when the sun begins to shine
At four or five or six o’clock in the good old summertime,
But when the snow is snowin’ and…[Read more]

@seekjustice Good afternoon!  Things is grand! 😀

I’m editing/writing my western, working on a short story, and waiting for my brother to edit my blog post so I can (finally) publish it.

What’s cookin’ in Australia?

@ingridrd Ooo! She looks awesome!

*draws out briefcase of collages* I made this one for the MC of a short story I’m writing (slowly), Abilene. I didn’t find any pictures that looked exactly like her, but this one is close enough.

@jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira @alia Anyone writing?

@seekjustice Tagging you even though it’s really early because I think I’ll be on for a while, and so might still be on when you get here. 😉

@kaya-young  THANK YOU!  And I love that seal…  🙂 🙂 🙂

I will post more parts after I get a few more people to read it.

Here’s another one I made for a character from my Superhero WIP…she’s one of my favorite characters, though I don’t yet know her as well as some of the others.  🙂

@jenwriter17  I know this a late response, but I have had this same “issue” (if you can call it that).  🙂  It has bothered me that I can’t get past a certain number of words for a story.  What I’ve come to realize is that I just need to write what is necessary.  If my story is finished in 30,000 words, so be it!  And the next round of editi…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  OH, gotcha!  I totally get it.  Thanks for your willingness.  🙂

There is some shuffling, then more silence.

“Brek, what—?”

The door bursts open.

@ariel-ashira Well, this isn’t really something I think about a whole lot because I tend to have a good grip on my characters so I just always do what feels right for them and it pretty much turns out. I guess though personally, if I had a brother I thought was dead show up alive I would probably rush him and hug him.

@alia @bekreations  *beam*  Thanks for bringin’ this back, guys!  I don’t know what to add, but…  🙂  *thumbs up*

@ariella-newheart  Why thank you.  🙂  And I love your version of Aspen!!!

@daughteroftheking
Kay would rather relive it.
She refuses to tell me what it was though…

Alexandria Evergreen (Alex) would rather talk about it.
Sneaking to the Northern part of Evergreen forest.

@sarah-Anson
Kay would sit in the cell with her worst enemy, Alice, and hope she doesn’t go insane. She doesn’t want someone she likes to hate her…[Read more]

@sarah-Anson I agree with @skredder @gh24682468999 @ariel-Ashira . Interview your character, write him in a different scene, flesh out your character.
But in edition something you could do for fun (though it will probably help) is to make a collage for him. I had to figure out somethings when I made my collages. Also got me excited about my book. 😋

@ariella-newheart Thanks! I’ll try it out.

@ariella-newheart Thanks! Yes, they are. The middle is Smaug and Bilbo… Bilbo with a katana, anyways. (Don’t ask me. It just happened.)

@jenwriter17 Yeah, what Kate said is huge. If you have part 2 of my Show Don’t Tell Course, I have a whole lesson on live scenes there, but basically a live scene is the literary version of a camera taking in everything that’s happening in a scene. No time is skipped. An overview is like when someone tells you what happened at their birthday…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 heh… I’ve got the opposite problem. 😛

*scratches head* I would say probably the number one thing that makes my novels so ridiculously long is the crazy amount of time I spend really delving into the layers of chemistry in live scenes. I try to do all live scenes if I possibly can (no summaries, no overviews, no generalizations)…[Read more]
