@Dragon-Snapper I’m definitely Sully. 😛

@Dekreel I like what they suggested. 😉

@Dragon-Snapper yeah, just about. XD

@inkling-for-christ whoops, somehow missed this! 😛 Cool.

@Mariposa I think I’m dying. XD XD XD

@Mariposa good heavens, I think I’m dying. XD XD XD

@Xonos-darkgrate what @Daeus and the rest already said, basically, on the general subject.

I did, however, find your excerpt slightly disturbing, which is odd, because I’m not usually disturbed by that kind of stuff. It may have been because it lacked subtlety and I kind of just felt like I had my face shoved in a pool of blood for no reason and…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper YAS. THE MORE VILLAINS THE BETTER.

*coughs* Okay, maybe not always… but personally, since I write sprawlingly epic books with dozens of thematic threads and plotlines apiece, I usually have at least two villains. One is usually the head bad guy, but giving him an evil sidekick doesn’t hurt.

*evil snickering*

Yeah… @Daeus and @Sam-Kowal were right. I’m the wrong person to ask.

@Dragon-snapper

@Dekreel too many ideas and getting too excited and determined about finishing them all and saving the world by Thursday, Friday at the latest. 😛

@winter-rose I am so thrilled for you!!! And overjoyed that you’ll be writing more. And proud of you for taking this scary step. And I can’t wait to see where God takes you. And I’ll be praying for you. 🙂

Much excitement for you!!!

*stares at topic* I swear this thing is rearranging itself as we speak. My reply is now below your post. I have no idea what’s going on. XD

@Winter-rose something odd happened and your post wasn’t here when I got the notification, so my reply is above your post and I accidentally tagged Hannah… 😛 *winces* sorry…

Anyway… THAT’S SO AWESOME!! *tackle hugs* Definitely be praying.

@Xonos-darkgrate ooh, yeah. That’s tougher. I think it could still be done though… ‘I swore silently,’ or ‘Easily half a dozen rather ungentlemanly words jumped to my lips and I just barely bit them back’. It depends a lot on his voice, of course, but I believe it’s possible.

@salome01w4g THAT’S SO AWESOME!! *tackle hugs* Definitely be praying. 😀 😀 😀

@Xonos-darkgrate ah, classic question. 😀

I’m definitely not a fan of sanitizing everything to the point of complete squeaky-cleanness, because it’s dishonest.

That said, I think swearing is unnecessary to say the least. It’s different than other ‘content’ for one. Say, for instance, one of your characters is a harlot. Pretty dark, right? But…[Read more]

Thanks @kate-flournoy and @dekreel! Good advice. 😀 Theme… that’s what I was missing. Thanks Kate! @Dekreel, those are some good things to consider! Thanks!

@kate-flournoy I can’t wait to see you (and @emma-flournoy and the rest of the family) tonight! 😀

@Dekreel ooh, that’s an unusually flattering representation of me waking up. It usually involves rolling over at least five times and eventually tumbling off the bed tangled in my fleecy blanket (with static hair flying all over the place) and then crawling my way still half asleep to my closet while splitting my ears with yawning and trying not…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper congratulations on branching out. 😉

They’ve covered a lot… the only thing new I have to add is pretty small. You mentioned that you’re tired of writing snarky characters and want to try something different, but had no idea how to go about it…

Why do you like snarky characters in the first place? Is it because they come easy…[Read more]
