@supermonkey42  *high five* I play cajon for my church youth group on Sundays! I really enjoy it. Yeah, the only instruments I know how to play are the cajon, the piano, the recorder (who can’t play that? lol), and a tiny bit a guitar.

How did I not see this?! Ah, well, we’ve already met. Hello! 🙂

@supermonkey42  You have a cajon?! I love playing cajon! It’s my second favorite instrument (after piano) to play!

@dekreel Okay, I was going to reply to you, but first I forgot and then I was busy, but enough excuses.

Mythbusters!!! Man I knew that sounded familiar.

@supermonkey42 Megamind, when Metroman and Megamind are arguing about the Heat of Revenge and the full, concentration power of the sun!

@supermonkey42 Yes! What’s your quote? (You won, so you quote next)

@supermonkey42 I actually just beta read a novel where it was like this: the MC’s scenes in first person, and then other scenes in 3rd person. It rolled along fine and was very intriguing. So long as the reader knows who’s who, I’d say go for it 🙂

@supermonkey42 Personally, if I were reading that story, it would be less confusing if the third person part was obviously narrated by your main character. If the main character also adds his/her own thoughts during their narration of the story, it help, too (“Bob lunged forward to get the piece of cake, which I think was the stupidest thing he…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin  Thank you so much!   Those are some great ideas.

Here is the new and (hopefully) improved version.

Fifteen-year-old Jaclyn Fallows’ world has been turned upside down—again.  That is about the only part of her miserable life she can understand.  The rest of it?  Not so much.  Sh…[Read more]

@supermonkey42  Thanks for the feedback.  Ugh.  That grammar gets me every time.  🙂  And yeah, I thought about what you said about the whole other world thing, but it doesn’t give too too much away so I’m gonna keep it.  Thanks again!  🙂

@supermonkey42 🙂 hmm

that’s an intriguing idea

I don’t think it would be confusing to readers, as long as they know exactly who’s point of view the scene is coming from. For example, especially the part where the father’s journal is written in 1st person, make it very clear which character is speaking. I have read books that have done this (the…[Read more]

@winter-rose Thanks. 😀

@supermonkey42

I hope you don’t mind free publicity

*crickets* *crickets* What kind of question is that? 😛

Seriously, thanks though. It means a lot to hear you liked the characters because I struggled through a big characterization problem shortly before I wrote this story.

@supermonkey42  It can be confusing if the story isn’t written with good transisions in between 1st and 3rd person. Since the story is mainly in 1st person, I think it should be based upon what the character knows.

When you have a section that’s in 3rd person, you could have the character say, “While I was doing this or while I was at that place…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 I don’t think it would be too confusing as long as the MC doesn’t know what other characters are thinking because…that would be creepy.

@lady-iliara Mmm… 😉

@supermonkey42 Thanks. I thought it had a cool classical ring to it. 😀

@supermonkey42 @silverclaw-bonnetfolly Unfortunately, I don’t think we have any way to do that at the moment. I can bring it up in the staff group page though and see if it can be remedied.

Anybody?

@supermonkey42  @inkling-for-christ  @graciegirl  @emma-flournoy  @that_writer_girl_99  @anyone-else

@supermonkey42 Sorry I missed your comment! Actually that would work – having a book of KP short stories. 😀

Funny… is not my cup of tea. But I’ll try! And of course I’ll have y’all beta-read it 😉 I think @dragon-snapper would be good at adding the humor – considering her LOKD.

@donnieclark I don’t know much about writing with handscreens…or whatever you want to call them, but I’ll tag some people who might possibly be able to help.

@supermonkey42

😀

Yes. I think that might. The general point was conveyed, anyway. We were not apprehended by the anti-rebel force, despite their attempts 😀

@supermonkey42 😀 😀 😀

That is really funny:D

Although, *ahem* are you sure it was raspberries? I mean, they are red. So they do blend in quite well with Stan’s other favorite food…
