Quitting your job was nice? Must not have been a good job…

I start college classes on Monday, but I’ve actually already been doing college work, so…I’m excited.

Today I went shopping for some new clothes, and that’s…pretty much it. I’ve had a slow summer. Except for a few major highlights. @winter-rose

I’m re-writing Prison. Which sounds harsher than it is. I’m just…re-writing it to focus on individual issues with the characters. Now that I have a better understanding of who they are.

@dragon-snapper

Do it. I’d read it.

Just the idea of writing about a writer seems so interesting. @seekjustice

Nnuuuuu! *crumples to the floor in a heap of tears*

Just kidding. Dragons don’t sit on chairs. Neither do caped superheroes. I am both. 🙂

@dragon-snapper

What are you working on?

Yep! @dragon-snapper

Gabby! Thanks for responding.

Next time you’re going to disappear on me, let me know first! *grins* How have you been?
@winter-rose

Uh-oh @seekjustice, sounds like you’re computer is trying to sabotage your writing. Better do something…

I’m editing until 8:00. @graciegirl @josiahdeboer @daughteroftheking @jane-maree

@daeus Any clues as to what happened to @seekjustice‘s comment?

Oops @daughteroftheking @josiahdeboer I’ve been offline for quite a while. Sorry…

I can tell you, even though we’ve never met and we don’t really talk much on KP, that I understand where you’re coming from with this last question. And before we get into the mushy-gushy stuff, here’s a couple of hard questions/statements.

–writing is not for the faint of heart.

It’s hard. It puts you in uncomfortable places. It tears you to…[Read more]

Hi @joy!

I’ll answer your questions just like Snapper did.

1. Choosing a theme can be tricky. During the early chapters of my current WIP, I had one theme, but it’s different now that I’ve gotten further into the story. That being said, I think it comes down to a couple different things.

–the message you want to share in your story.
Do…[Read more]

How does it end? @emily

HA! *grins*

I despise outlining. Writing to me is about freedom, and outlining…well, outlining and I just don’t get along. But I’ve come to terms with that and it’s okay.

Here’s what I’d do. Take out a piece of notebook paper. Grab a pen. And write the story down. All of it, every detail. Even if you know for a fact that a detail is minute…[Read more]

Haha, I’ve done this before. Sometimes all you need is a goal. What’s your story trying to say? What message are you trying to get across to your readers? Writing with those questions in mind can add a lot of depth to your story.

Yeah. I don’t have anywhere to put it outside of KP, so it would stay within this realm. @dragon-Snapper

Welcome @majerot KP is great and I’m sure you’re gonna love it here. 😉

Have you ever tried writing stories?

@salome01w4g

A few thoughts: Editing is a natural part of writing. It’s necessary. Sometimes it’s annoying, and sometimes it’s hard, but it’s a necessary part of our craft. Fear not. It will be better in the end.

On remembering details: Write it down. All of it. Write it down, even if you know it’ll change later. Write it down in order to…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I’m not stealing your idea, don’t worry. But yeah. On another thread. Probably.

@northerner Haha, cool. I can work with that.

@ethryndal …wow. That’s… how much BBC tv do you watch, anyway? *snorts* I can work with that.
