Wow… that is a hard life. 😛 One of my characters used to be like that… no wait, there still are some.

(Of course! Once I edit those, but I’ll probably want people who’ve already read the first book. @dekreel You too)

@igridrd AAAAAAGH ITS PERFECT!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

@dekreel You can draw her too! I’d love to see what you think she looks like.

Thank you, @warrioroftherealm! That’s really helpful!

(Confession: I am “fascinated with swords” [see signature] but am actually rather a noob at swordfighting.)

@Dekreel basically what has already been said. I struggle with this too. Especially recently. I found an author whose skill in my chosen genre is so crazily far beyond my own I don’t dare dream I’ll ever reach it.

And much as I hate to admit this, that thought drives me absolutely bonkers.

It’s not that I’m jealous of him, just that I loathe…[Read more]

@dekreel God’s writing a story right here, right now.

When I’ve doubted and struggled (which happens all the time), the only where I can turn is to my favorite (and, tbh, sometimes least favorite) author and say, “I trust you to write this story till its final, marvelous end.”

Now that I’ve done the popular thing and given the best advice I can…[Read more]

@dekreel This topic is two years old, back when Sarah was still with us.

Hello! I’m back to this wonderful pointy topic!

I finally got swords in my novel! Well….they’re practice blunts, but I got to write the word “sword” so I’m pretty happy.

But I don’t know how to teach someone to use it. Has anyone ever written a scene where your MC is taught to use a sword? Because I am rather clueless.

@daeus @warrioroftherealm

@daeus this sounds fun! I would like to do this…but I’d probably just end up fainting and being incoherent about the awesomeness instead of actually analyzing. I do that sometimes. 😉

@supermonkey42 Can’t remember exactly. It was either lack of involvement or I didn’t have enough time.

@rochellaine aw, I can’t join you this time! will you be on Monday?

@notawriter Steal anything you want. I didn’t make them up, anyway! (Uh….most of them.)

Oya, KaPeeFers! I’m WRITING!

Hopefully.

If I don’t get distracted.

Which I probably will.

Oh well.

@sam-kowal @dragon-snapper @ariella-newheart @dekreel @ingridrd

@dragon-snapper I honestly think it’s perfect. I want to write emotions like that!

But I understand why you might be concerned about an overload of cold cloudy grayness. (I can’t seem to get enough of that in…but then again, I’m not to the gray parts yet….anyway.)

I’ll take some examples from my Aislinn Mollisong: Hero! roleplay for this,…[Read more]

Hello, KeePers and KaPeeFers! So I’ve been…uh….okay, I’ve been stalking this topic. But now I am posting in this art-filled topic!

And yes, there is a reason.

I would like it if someone drew my MC Amber. She has dark brown hair that goes down to her waist and is just the slightest bit wavy. Her eyes are golden/amber-colored, she is rather…[Read more]

Oh, one more question. Do you prefer the ending lines:

“Awestruck to see that in dark the lights dance”

or

“Awestruck to see that in night the lights dance”

???

Thanks everyone! @emma-flournoy @ariella-newheart @rochellaine

I think I’ve got it now. I’ll come back to this a few months from now to see if I can make any small improvements, but I think it’s generally solid. 😀

@daeus Thankee. *bows* Well, I tried incorporating small ‘good’ things and it’s been a lot let dismal lately. I think I just let Ike gnaw on dismal’ness’ for too long. XD

@sarah-anson I really like the italicized bit you said there. *nods* I agree. Thanks!

@rochellaine oh yeah, if you could PM it…. I had a spelling error I tried correct then it didn’t repost… And it took me 20 minutes to type since I was using the phone. Yes I do have it saved on my non internet laptop. 😉

Also consider your self tagged to. 😄

@warrioroftherealm *salutes* Awesome!
