@dekreel I’m just about to join you (most likely), but give me just a moment. 😀

@jenwriter17

Like @audrey-caylin said, the biggest thing you can do to build your base and bring people to your blog is comment and build relationships with other bloggers. I’ve had to do that myself.

Unexpected… Actually, the main thing that I didn’t expect was how much I’ve enjoyed it. There’s not much that I haven’t liked so far. But you…[Read more]

@rochellaine AH! I love the plotline. I really want to know what happens. Like really. Write more now.

The only things I think you need to do is add some paragraph breaks–those make it easier to read. And try to use the word ‘so’ less. It’s alright to use it with this guys style, but a bit less would be better.

It’s also a bit fast-paced. If…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I haven’t really read modern dystopia, but I do get the impression that it has lost something it used to have. Namely, all the early dystopias were prophesies. The authors looked at the culture around them and, knowing what they did of mankind, civilization, and technology, they constructed a model of the future that they thought was…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Ha. I actually have a KP Cinema video about cliches in dystopian novels coming out sometime this month. xD So a lot of my “advice” would be in there. I wouldn’t say oppressive governments are cliched because they’re required for that genre, but I would recommend studying classic dystopias like Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New…[Read more]

lol
A heartless queen of hearts. Haha!

@pickupyourpenandwrite That makes sense; I’ve been there as well in the past. Do you have a clear idea on what parts of your story you need to improve on?

@sleepwalkingmk Huh. I’m not seeing anything in spam, so I’m not sure what happened on that front. :/

Either way, I like the tension between the character’s plot and thematic goals there. I’m a bit unsure, however, from what you’ve said if your plot goal is really the plot goal of your story. It seems like the protagonist stops trying to achieve…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum, @pickupyourpenandwrite! Glad you joined us. 🙂 Great work in passing the 50,000 word mark with your latest novel! Do you have a revision plan in place yet for the work?

@warrenluther04 I know for a fact that I REALLY WANT TO READ IT. *cough* As for posting it… Well, it depends on how long it is …

…

How long is it?

@emma-flournoy You know what, it’s no trouble. Have your own doc.

@pickupyourpenandwrite HI!

Yes, the other person we have from England is @theacornman unless I’m wrong. And I am never wrong.

Anywho, back to introduction. *shakes hand wildly* hi hi and doubly hi! Cozy crime sounds interesting–and funny. 😀 What’s your favorite music group?

@perfectfifths @dekreel @notawriter @catwing

Ike would rather…

Be painted by a realistic artist–that way his eyes wouldn’t be so big.

Tree, so that no one would sit on him.

Sky-diving, cause at least he can still breath without having to use an oxygen tank.

Learn an instrument, because only servants do cooking. (And Louise, Ike…[Read more]

@warrenluther04 Posting fan fiction is fine so long as you label it fan fiction.

@warrenluther04 Here he is! What do you think?

Cole Avis:

As for your fanfiction, I think it might be okay to post it so long as you credit that it’s based off the Star Wars Universe. 😀 If you still have concerns, I’d ask @aratrea or @daeus about that.

@warrioroftherealm

Caspin root.

Glaggun…

Hossrot root…

Letlest…

?? Any of those work?

@emma-flournoy Sure. You can share Mallory’s doc if you want. 🙂

@itisastarrynight I think one big thing that makes flashbacks seem cheesy is when the chapter before the flashback ends with something like, “he remembered the time thirteen years ago when blakedy blank blank…” If you can avoid that, it should really help.
