@kate-flournoy The concept of themes is actually quite new to me, so any advice you have for me is welcome.

That’s an awesome description of Kara. If I could draw, I probably would have tried to sketch out her features, but I can’t…unfortunately.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like the theme you liked the best, intelligence vs.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Oddly enough, I didn’t realize that any of the issues you listed above could be considered incorrect–thanks for pointing those out!

But as for my critical side. If you feel as if I am melting your work, please tell me. I don’t want to be too mean.

Oh, please. One of the reasons I joined KP was so I could eventually get c…[Read more]

@f5a8c3e92 But that’s just it–the Elementals know they’re freaks, but the are scared of their powers. They’re being forced to think that the prison is the best thing for them–that they would be worse off outside as opposed to the safety of the prison walls.

I know you can’t see it in this little snippet, but Kara doesn’t want to leave. Before…[Read more]

I’ve had several people tell me the story sounds cliche, but I’m not sure how… @f5a8c3e92

Good… 🙂

Um, I posted an excerpt to the novel I’m working on if you want to read it… @dragon-snapper

Pleasetell me that’s a joke. @dragon-snapper

Hullabaloo indeed. @theliterarycrusader

Sorry…I tend to be rather vague when I’m thinking about other things. Just know your response really helped me. @daeus

Erm, quick question– just out of curiosity, how did you and @kate-flournoy picture Kara? Like, her hair color and all that? I don’t have a good picture of her in my head.

@kate-flournoy I agree. It’s got a lot of potential to be wibbly-wobbly and twisty-turny in a lot of fun places. (That’s a reference you probably won’t understand, lol)

Oh, themes… I’m still figuring a lot of that myself, unfortunately, but off the top of my head…

–the influence of media on society
–loneliness
–dealing with…[Read more]

@daeus That’s a good thing, right? Thanks, I think…

Oops, you’ve discovered my secret–I really didn’t want to start writing just yet, but the words came anyway…

Lots of good ideas here, thanks! I definitely think I’ll be able to dig into some of what you’ve suggested.

Ugh, don’t worry, I’m not going in that direction with the elementals.…[Read more]

Ooh, yes, definitely. @kate-flournoy

Here’s a handful of the ideas I have so far:

–The prisoners believe that they are “privileged” with the ability to live in the prison. They also believe that their powers are a curse.

–The world outside of the prison is wartorn. Its been through a lot, seen a lot of destructive things–the elementals…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I know that the plot definitely seems cliche now, and I’ve sensed that myself, so I’m trying to figure out a way to expand it so that it isn’t the same as the stories circulating through society nowadays. Not that that’s an easy thing to do… *sighs*

Done, and done, now to sit back and wait… @kate-flournoy

*coughs* Forgot to tag you @kate-flournoy

Well, this is my first time posting any of my writing on here, so I may or may not have a valid reason to be nervous… @kate-flournoy

Ugh, okay. Be right back… @kate-flournoy

Can you tell I’m not excited for this? Lol…

@kate-flournoy @daeus @dragon-snapper @aratrea @ethryndal @f5a8c3e92 I’m playing with the idea of posting the prologue and first chapter of my WIP on here for some feedback… *cringes nervously* If anyone’s interested, just respond to this…

Every personality type has their strong points and their weaknesses, no worries. Figuring out which is which can be hard. @f5a8c3e92

That aside…your profile picture was actually the wallpaper on my phone for quite some time. I love it!
