Have any of you ever written a first draft of a novel before? If yes, do you have any advice, suggestions, ideas, encouragement to offer me?

You see, it’s like…[Read more]

Anybody up for a late night write? 🙂

@C-C-Lane that’s great! And this topic was Daeus’s idea. 😉

@Daeus yes, scenes and settings can be tricky. Especially learning to use them in coordination with each other. *grimace*

@Daeus @C-C-Lane 1,033 words edited and some outlining smoothed out. What did you guys get?

@C-C-Lane @Daeus room for one more? I’ll be writing until nine.

I don’t think she lacks vulnerability, @daeus . You can see her sensitiveness in chapter two. She seems pretty vulnerable to me then, ‘though she doesn’t complain or whine to them about how she feels or what she’s been through. That would be none of their business since she doesn’t really know them yet.

She’s very British and level-headed.…[Read more]

It’s actually pretty easy, @kate-flournoy. *Tries to explain and fails* *finds quick video instead* Try this. 🙂

And thanks! 🙂

Miss Morton is really the model client. She has small things she can present, even though they don’t make any sense to her. She’s kept notes and letters… And she’s calm. Probably calmer than Watson with his jumbled phrases and mixed up medications. 😉 She has a steadying influence on the story. One fairly calm figure amide the other extremes of…[Read more]

@Overcomer Mjolnir? How in the name of common sense does one even pronounce that? I tried, and it sounds like my mouth is full of sticky rubber. 😛

And yay for hammer-blows of inspiration! Even if they do inspire you to get up at 12:39 in the morning. 😉

Come’on @daeus , that line is totally classic. Of course, I’ve seen it more times than I can count, so I ought to know it by now.

Nice usage, by the way, @kate-flournoy. Made me 🙂

I got some writing done too, but later than you guys, when I really ought to have been asleep and really wasn’t planning to write at all but was suddenly struck…[Read more]

@Daeus Miracle Max’s retort to Inigo when Inigo asked him if he was the miracle worker Prince Humperdink had fired.
Miracle Max has some great lines.

@Daeus ‘Thank you oh so much for bringing up that very painful subject. Why don’t you just go ahead and give me a nice papercut and pour lemon juice on it?’

*hopes you’ve seen The Princess Bride*

@Daeus awesome! I didn’t do too well, but I didn’t do too badly either. 859 words edited and some unnecessary material cut.

I’m doing a lot of that. Cutting unnecessary material, that is. Which is very good. I don’t want my final draft to be 500,435 words. *cringe*

@Daeus okay. Till nine, as usual.

@Daeus oh! Ha— no. I don’t think anything could ever do that. But I do want to get this batch of ideas out of the way at the very least.

I know. *dramatic sigh* I’m such a desperate, dangerous person. 😉

@Daeus @Bluejay I’m writing tonight.

@Daeus what don’t I mean?

And honestly I don’t know. I’m so desperate I’m going to try outlining to see if it’ll speed up the process. 😛
I tend to set myself impossible goals, in case you hadn’t noticed. *hysterical laughter*
