@sam-kowal you… you want to read it?

*stares*

Guys. All I told this person… was how ridiculously long my book was. And now he wants to read it.

My life is complete. I have found someone who actually loves enormous books.

*wanders around in a daze for the rest of the week*

XD Well, it will be open for beta-reading sometime this year…[Read more]

@sam-kowal thank you! I know… eleven is a lot. 😛 Believe me, no one knows that better than I do. XD It was originally twelve, but I managed to knock one off, thank goodness.

Eh dear, yes. Brandon Sanderson gives me hope that it can be done… if he can publish that many books, that are that long (the first draft of my WiP was 500,000+ words)…[Read more]

@Shannon XD Sorry… that was mainly aimed at Miss Marvel Geek Elizabeth. 😉 Dr. Connor is basically a giant mutant lizard who lives in the drainage systems of Manhattan. Lovely, no? ;P

@SeekJustice thanks!

@PrincessFoo ehhh… I can neither confirm nor deny any past, present, or future dealings I may have had or will have with people of questionable character. *flips knives, stows them in her belt**pulls black mask over her eyes**smiles**somersaults away down the street*

@seekjustice what mood is the crowd in? The thing about crowds (especially excited, desperate, angry, or otherwise passionate ones) is that it only takes one small stone to make everything start rolling. It only takes one character bold enough to make a move— throw a rock, light a fire, start running— and all the rest will follow. So if you’ve…[Read more]

@PrincessFoo very solid advice so far. I’ve never written a full-on romance novel, but every story I’ve written has had at least one romantic subplot, so I’ve been doing this for a while. 😉

My one piece of advice kind of ties in to what @Daeus said, but takes a little different spin on it. The most intriguing, engaging thing about your…[Read more]

@salome01w4g that just means you get seniority privileges. 😉

@epicaddie2 @That_writer_Girl_99 @Shannon @Emily @LifeofKatie @Ethryndal thanks so much guys. 😀

Sarah, I’m especially glad you think it’s pretty… it ought to be… I only redid it oh… ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES. XD

*coughs* I’m a bit of a perfectionist. Your praise is great validation.

Elizabeth, Sarah, Shannon… I, um… was looking for Dr.…[Read more]

@Daeus once again I’m late to the party… everything looks great. Very professional. Nothing to criticize; good work. 😉

@sam-kowal welcome to KP. 😀 Welcome to Stan too. He should fit right in; we’ve several dragons hanging around this place in various nooks and crannies. 😉

Hey fellow ENFJ! 😉 I am an ENFJ as well, Dragon Snapper, or D.G., if you want, for short. Although people have called me Snapper before. 🙂

So, henchman, what’s your favorite food? (Don’t worry, you’ll graduate soon enough.)

Welcome to KP; I look forward to seeing you around!

@dragon-snapper XD Not that kind of frog. The natural frogs are good. Like Frog and Toad, you know? I like Frog. He’s an ENFJ. Or an INFJ. He’s nice either way. And Josiah the Wiser’s pet isn’t bad.

*cough* I said it because she was speaking French (Bonjour!), and French people are commonly (or were, and maybe just by Brits…) known as Frogs.…[Read more]

@lifeofkatie *eats all the ice cream*

@emma-flournoy I won’t tell Josiah what you said about frogs. *mourns over frogs*

My point is based on a principle I’m going to call Daeus’ principle just to stroke my vanity. This principle states that if you know at a certain point in your story you can get a reaction out of your reader, do not have any of your characters react at that point or the reader will not react. For instance, if you think you can get your rea…

@Ethryndal This place would not be the same if you had not come. Nor all the peeps on it. NOPE. So we can all applaud God with a fury for what He’s put together.

And it’s really great on the writing side of things too. 😛 Because it’s wonderful to know how to write well, and KP sure does brilliantly putting out the learning.

*poke*…[Read more]

@ethryndal First off, I’ve been meaning to say this.

Secondly,

YOU’VE BEEN ON FOR A YEAR?!! A YEAR ALREADY! SWEET!

Oh, and good choice with TSFH! Yeah, there name is awful, but the music is great. So I call them TSFH. Have you heard any Audiomachine songs?

@dragongeek Awesome name. I myself am Dragon Snapper, pleased to meet your confetti-filled acquaintance. 😀

What’s your favorite … um … *tries to think of an original question*

Meh, forget that.

What’s your least favorite book? I personally can’t stand the Incredible Journey. Or, what was that other book? Ah, the Glass Sentence. I also…[Read more]
