@waterlily I have soooo many books on horse care and training. I’ve been studying natural horsemanship and I’ve gone to a Clinton Anderson clinic.

Yes, I am dying waiting until summer when the season starts. My teacher said some of the clinics we’ll learn how to lunge horses and work them from the ground, so that’ll be great experience for me.…[Read more]

@seekjustice Lol, yeah might not want to yell out how most of the characters end up at the end of the book! That guy will find out for himself one day…..

I didn’t know you ride horses! (or did i?) Do you have a favorite breed?

@seekjustice @perfectfifths Yup, fallen off a horse twice and almost two other times. No broken bones…[Read more]

@seekjustice *gasps* I’ve seen your blog before! Been stalking following it off and on. It looks great!😉

@dekreel Awesome! I like the girl with the hat too.

@sarah-anson This is great! I’ve literally drawn one boy in my whole life and it didn’t turn out boyish enough

@dragon-snapper There are lots of good takes on this here. I agree with them. I’ll just post two other ideas.

1. Take a break, but not from your book. Take a break just to dream about your book. Imagine yourself in scenes. Dream about backstory you’ve never thought of. Just dream.

2. I think writing isn’t always so much about our books as it is…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 That is totally relatable.

I’ll be remembering to pray for you, because this is very similar to what I face, only it’s not a loneliness issue but still a faith issue.

If I could say two things to encourage you, first of all, “In everything give thanks.” Boy, this helps. I think we feel depressed because we feel weak. In thankfulness,…[Read more]

@princessfoo Your WIP sounds cool. I’ve heard the portal thing is a little cliche, but I really like the idea. 😉I’m sure you can turn that cliche on its head and make it unique though👍

@rochellaine OH, SPANISH MOSS!!! Yes, that is gorgeously mysterious!

@princessfoo Heheh, that’s funny. I can totally imagine that happening to me.

@mariposa Yeah I think I’ve gotten the “How you gonna pay the bills?” question at least once.

Funny the mistakes we make in writing…..Thank goodness for editing………i guess. 🤔

@dragon-snapper I feel your pain! Maybe you just need to step away from the novel for a few days and literally not think about it ONE BIT. Then you might feel more refreshed coming back to it. What seems to snap me out of writer’s block pretty consistently is listening to music for the scene I’m stuck on. that really gets me in the mood. Maybe…[Read more]

*gives person business card* “Here. This way I can send you a prompt, civilized introduction to my novel.”

@kate-flournoy

@dekreel See Nick’s face. That’s me. HAHA!

*melts chair*

@dekreel

Here.

“I’m so SHINY!”

“I’m a rumor weed. A tiny little story is all I need…”

“Cause he loves you cheeseburger, with all his heart. And there ain’t nothing ever going to tear you two apart. And if the world totally ran out of cheese, he would get down on his hands and knees. And he would wipe it up for you. WIPE IT UP FOR YOU. CLE…[Read more]

@dekreel

One of these days.

Random social stranger at a random social function: “Oh, you write books? Cool! What’s your book about?”

Me, randomly trying to function socially: *stilted grin and shivering, nervous laugh* “Here, let me… let me…” *digs out notebook with a triumphant flourish* “I wrote it down!”

XD

@Dragon-snapper

@kate-flournoy And now it’s working. Weird. But I’ll still take that chocolate.

Oh yeah. I would love it if someone said something — not “What’s your book about?” — to “Here’s my email so you can send me the book.” XD But of course…I’d rather not give my email to random strangers.

No thanks.

Yeah. Definitely need more practice. “Hi, mirror.…[Read more]

@that_writer_Girl_99 XD Sorry. I haven’t been on in a while… My brain must be losing its automatic tags.

*takes the best of luck and leaves the melted chairs for everyone else*

@Dragon-Snapper ugh I am so sorry. I have no idea why it does that to you. *offers you conciliatory chocolate*

Yeah… trying to pitch your book on the spur of the moment is torture. Especially if the person is just trying to make conversation and you can tell they really don’t care. And then you walk away from the encounter and think of a dozen…[Read more]

@valtmy Welcome to KP! 😀

@sam-kowal ‘s right. But worry not, I’ve tried to instigate a rebellion myself. XD Even though I’m the one who made @daeus king.

Anyway, randomness aside; I’m Dragon Snapper. Most people here just call me Snapper though, cause why would you have to write down Dragon Snapper EVERY SINGLE TIME. XD

Glad to see another…[Read more]

Okay, sorry about that ‘k’. It was the only thing I could type in before the strange link sent me to @kate-flournoy‘s website. XD

Anyway…

This is a hilarious topic, because yeah, people do kind of look at you strange when you say you’re a writer. “Ah…”

And they ask what your book is about. But the book your writing is a sequel, so you…[Read more]
