@seekjustice I have a scene I want to do, but I have to start out the scene – you know, explain what’s going on, and stuff like that.  I just can’t figure out how to start it out, even though the next parts will be easy and fun.

I think I’m going to just write the scene starting in the middle, and then go back and connect it later.

When I first…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, my horrible western that won’t do what I want it to do. 🙁

@seekjustice Love triangles are amazing, but horribly heartbreaking, because I always end up wishing the one who wasn’t satisfied had been the one to get the girl/guy. 🙂

@seekjustice Yes, I’ll be here for a little while longer.

@seekjustice 🙂

When I read in your post that your friend had begged you to get Chessy and Justice together I cringed a bit, because I’m not sure whether I really ship that pairing. 🙂

One reason for that is possibly because she obviously chases him the whole way through and I don’t think that’s ladylike – but then, neither is fighting battles,…[Read more]

@epicaddie2  …What is Young Writer’s Workshop? Is it like KP?

@daughteroftheking  @dragon-snapper  I shall save you!

*ahem…*

Tinky Winky, Dipsy, LaLa, Po!

Teletubbies, Teletubbies, say “EH-OH!”

MWAHAHA!!

@princessfoo

Maybe for the magic tricks you could do something like this:

<insert name>–Porta

For the second one I’d suggest Kore-Porta, but I don’t have any ideas for the other ones o_o

Could you describe the trinkets in more detail?

@seekjustice Oh my goodness.  This is horrible, but horribly funny! 🙂

I was reading lines from a play by W. S. Gilbert (One of my favorite authors) and one of the lines seemed to me to be what your characters from Stars Fill Infinity would say to you…

“When the process of extermination begins, let our deaths be as swift and painless as you c…[Read more]

@seekjustice I read your post!  🙂

@epicaddie2 As much as I would love to join… I’m currently trying to save my coins for other writerly things. (laptops and conferences and retreats) So…I’m going to stick with KP. BUT HAVE A GREAT TIME YONDER!

@princessfoo Thanks for tagging me.  I’m really sorry, but I don’t feel comfortable getting that involved with magic.

The way I usually make up words, though, is to take two words and mash them together, mixing up a few letters and leaving out some others.  I make several combinations until I am happy with the results.

@audrey-caylin @daeus
So… how long do these breaks usually last??

@jenwriter17 I got that reference. 😉

@audrey-caylin Certainly would be nice. XD Laws.

@christi-eaton Jim Weiss does some very enjoyable versions of G. A. Henty’s books.  However, he does edit them to ensure they can be heard by children, which some might think is a good thing, and others a bad thing. 🙂 (I usually prefer the unabridged versions.)

I don’t listen to audiobooks much, but when I do I go to librivox.org for free…[Read more]

@catwing @dekreel thanks!

@bella-d Dark ages = The plague. Dirt floors and poor peasants.  Farming. And medevil.. Elegant rich princesses sitting in castle towers.
And also, stained glass!!! Like, seriously, though. whispers stained glass. And the endless arguments over popes and kings over whos more powerful /rolls eyes.

@emily-d If she still has the characters, thats great!! I would advise paying special attention in creating or developing your antagonist, assuming the protagonist is good atm. I personally am a more character centered writer. So once you have your characters, you have your story. The actual plot to me is just about the internal conflict of the…[Read more]

@dekreel I don’t know that one, but I think I do know the one Louise Fowler posted over a month ago which no one answered…

@perfectfifths, is it Fezzik from The Princess Bride when he and Inigo are trying to find the “Man in Black?”

Anyone know this one?  (We can do books, too, right?)

“He calls me a crow, because my hair is black…”

@supermonkey42  @perfectfifths  @whoever

Bonus points and my undying respect to those of you who can guess these:

Two characters on the telephone:

Character 1: “I’ll be there in an AAAAAAAAAA…!”

Character 2: “In an ‘hour?’ I can’t wait an hour!”

Second quote:
