@Daeus okay. Till nine.

Yup. That.

@kate-flournoy

What, was that a reference to the Robert Frost poem? 🙂 Uh-oh.

@Hannah-C that’s really cool. 🙂 I’m the only writer in my family besides my mom (she used to write and publish poetry)…and it gets a little lonely because none of my friends are writers either. I’m glad there’s a place where I get to discuss things with other writers who understand. Y’all are awesome! 😉

*smiles bleakly* Good advice @Daeus. I guess I will.

And I have begun to despair of that. :/ If one title fits in one regard it almost certainly won’t in another; that or it sounds off, or is too dry, or too melodramatic…

Oh well. I guess I’ll just have to keep trying. *brave, watery smile*

@Daeus AAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!!!! *pounds head against wall, squeezes eyes shut and growls in frustration* I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. I can’t believe I didn’t recognize the cadence and realize it wasn’t an original idea. Urrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh…

*sigh* Thanks for pointing it out.

Hey guys @Daeus @Hope @Jadamae @Gretald @Bluejay @Emma-Flournoy @anyone-else-who-was-on-this-topic, what do you think of the title ‘The Way Not Taken’? I know, I know, it’s not one word, but I kinda like it just the same. I’d forgotten about it until today, when a friend brought it up in a letter that I’d been considering that as a title. What do…[Read more]

Oh wow @Hannah-C! You are blessed! That is so awesome! 😀

@Daeus that would be lovely, thank you. It won’t be ready any time soon— possibly not even until next year. It depends on how good I get at this whole rewriting thing in the meantime. 😉

Yes, everyone’s projects sound fascinating. Isn’t it strange to think what a perfectly writer-oriented community we have here? I mean, for my part, I…[Read more]

@Daeus I am anything but un-extreme. 😉 Fact is, when I wrote that, I had literally zero clue that it wasn’t going to be a standalone book. Now there are ten more books to follow it. So first of all I need to make it so it leads into its sequel, and secondly— well— the whole thing stinks. I know, I know— extreme. But it does. Compared to the…[Read more]

Editing my WIP, and then *takes deep breath* I have finally decided to start rewriting my WIP’s prequel. Which I should have done the moment I finished it two years ago. It needs it. Majorly. 😛
I’m also planning to do a bit of work on a retelling of Snow White called The Mirror— just a novella, but fun nonetheless. @Hope got me hooked on…[Read more]

@gretald heehee… 😉 Thanks for the votes. I’m still wavering on the fence, actually. :/ I’ll figure it out one of these days.

@Hope I don’t know about Bible Verses, but one I really like is:

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing. ~ Benjamin Franklin

I also really like this one:

A professional writer is an amateur who didn’t quit. ~ Richard Bach

@Emma-flournoy Hey! Welcome to Kingdom Pen!
You’re related to Kate Flournoy, the Forum Superhero? *jaw drops to the floor*

Wow, I’m gone for one week, and I come back to 6 pages of discussion! SIX PAGES, people!!! 😛
In all seriousness, I really like Reckless and Uncharted, @kate-flournoy. I think I like Uncharted a little better. I don’t know; it just sounds cool. 😉
@Emma-flournoy and @Kate-flournoy *in British accent* Your…exchanges have been most…[Read more]

Oh this sounds cool. 🙂 Well, I don’t have much planned this summer, but I will probably spend a lot of time editing some stories and writing in my WIP. But I also need to do a lot of research for it.

It is fascinating @Hope, I’ll give it that. 😉 One favorite quote (can’t remember who said it) is

‘There’s nothing difficult about writing. You just sit down at a typewriter and bleed.’

As far as I’m concerned, that’s pretty accurate. 😛

*wracks brains for other awesome quotes lurking just beyond reach* I know they’re there somewhere… I’ll…[Read more]
