I like pencil drawings. I don’t draw too much, but the other day I sat down and drew one of my settings from one of my stories. It wasn’t as impressive as in my mind, but I still enjoyed it. 😉

Luke Skywalker sure wasn’t happy about it, @kate-flournoy 😉 I’m glad we’re both crazy.

That chainmail idea is genius, @daeus ! I’ll have to give it a try if any of my characters turn sour on me.

My characters are (generally) a little more grateful. They seem to understand that I am the only one who can make them immortal . . .

Welp, that’s what I get for creating characters with a more dominant nature than my own @Daeus.

The especially bold one I mentioned above is actually somewhat justified, though— I mean, I wouldn’t feel too happy about it either if someone made me lose my hand. 😛

@Daeus it hasn’t gotten quite that bad yet, though I do make sure I have a dagger or two about me when I work with my villains. For the most part the better-natured of my characters stand guard over me against the wilder ones, though that may change when it comes time to write their stories. 😛 They can’t seem to be able to grasp (or else don’t…[Read more]

Sometimes I consider myself to be more of a chronicler than a storyteller, who answers to the rather bossy demands of her characters to write their stories or be haunted forever! (Yep, now you all know how crazy I am.

Um… hellooooooo— that’s ME ALL OVER!

@overcomer, they can be quite bossy can’t they? I’ve even had them threaten me…[Read more]

@david I actually like the sky the way it is. The sky is never one total colour (at least in my opinion) I think it is really good. 😀

Hey @zoe-wingfeather , I’m so glad somebody appreciates me. 😉

I echo this: WHY IS THERE NOT ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY TO DO EVERYTHING AND WRITE!!! (exclamations added) This is my life in a nutshell, complete with nutcracker.

Come on, your novel’s not lame, you just haven’t shed enough sweat and tears over it yet! Put some back into it!…[Read more]

Haha! Yes, you totally belong here, @Aella . My nemesis is weakening. 😉

You’re very brave, @daeus ! Rewriting your whole story is a bold and tough move. I envy your pertinacity.

So true about moms! I told mine what you said, and I think she agreed with you. 😉

You do that, @hope ! Don’t let the awesomeness of your neglected novel go to…[Read more]

I agree with everyone else @overcomer, it’s a great idea.

Oh YES! I can rant. Let me rant, let me rant. *No I shouldn’t* Argh, I gotta. I have just finished writing a novelette, 🙂 *that’s the good part* the bad part is I got to go back through and make it better. At the moment I’m working through a book called “Save the Cat” (If you haven’t read it you should) and well….my story just doesn’t seem to…[Read more]

@overcomer, great idea! 😀 Now I have a place to list all my writing troubles! Ah, yes!

Well, since everyone else is saying what they’re working on… right now I’m trying to figure out a name for a blog I’m thinking of starting. It will be mostly for writing book reviews and the occasional article here and there. Eventually I’d like to post…[Read more]

@overcomer, great idea! 😀 Now I have a place to list all my writing troubles! Ah, yes!

@rolena-hatfield Nothing to do with this topic 😛 But I thought you might like to know that I am now on medication to improve my health. 😀 I hope it will do what it’s meant to. 🙂
(Just thought you would like to know, since you were praying about it.)

…someone behind Gavin and me. And I recognize the voice.
“What are you looking for?”
I turn around. It’s the woman from the room with the long table. She looks angry, like we’ve done something wrong.
“We’re not looking for anything,” says Gavin, glancing at me. I hear a voice in my head—his voice, which is crazy. But I remember that he e…[Read more]

Ooh… that dolphin is gorgeous.

I find that when I work with pencils it’s more to sketch out a rough, quick idea than actually finish a polished piece of art, so most of my pencil drawings are pretty messy with a lot of unnecessary lines just marking out where I want things to go if the drawing ever translates into a painting. But the few…[Read more]
