@Dragon-Snapper whew… I haven’t written scifi yet, though I’ve got one in the works. And… quite honestly, most of my inspiration for the actual science-y stuff came from studying physical science in my schoolwork. Like… the nature of time. And space. And how gravity is a result of those two, bent. And how stars work… and what gases do what…[Read more]

Finish the second draft of my WIP, run through it one more time, and send it out to beta readers. Also write a novella. (Yes. The same novella I put int the Fall and Winter Writing Goals. *weak chuckle*)

@dragon-snapper Soooo I come from a family that is very sci-fi oriented. (Except for my mom, and younger brothers.) So basically just my dad, but he makes up for everyone else. I recently finished a (messy) first draft of a dystopian/sci-fi.

How to write Sci-fi? Ummm… I don’t know. Just like any other book, but a little different, I…[Read more]

*silently hands out chocolate because there’s nothing else to be done*

@Dragon-Snapper

Wasn’t it marvelously put together on every conceivable level though?

@dragon-snapper
Time to assess. I partially completed my Fall and Winter goal (wrote a first draft,) but my other goals (finish a previous draft, and edit it) kind of were left behind. But I didn’t have reliable internet for a month either, so….

New Goals: Finish two complete drafts by September. (Crazy for me, but it’s summer, so I’ll have…[Read more]

I’m going to be outlining/writing/staring-at-the-screen for an unknown amount of time, if anyone wants to join me 😛
@winter-rose, @dragon-snapper, @overcomer, @r-j-wordsmith, @ethryndal, @anybody who wants to join

@emma-flournoy would Kingdom Pen be ingdomKay enPay?

@emma-flournoy wow, I’m seriously impressed, Emma! Is pig language talking backwards, or was that just someone teasing me?

Thank you so much, @sierra-r! Wow, those pictures are absolutely beautiful! I’m inspired. I think your camera is two models newer than mine, and I love the way they look. 😀 And the way you captured the sunlight is really neat. 😀

@emma-flournoy Wow, pig latin? Are you fluent?

@Aratrea then… hm. So then it’s possible for a character to be more than one of the three types? Because she’s definitely a type one, and yet when you said that I realize she could also be a type two after a fashion. Does that work?

@dragon-snapper thanks! Yes, I love all those too. And Barbara Manatee.

Well you see, I was four years old and was helping Daddy pump the gas. And I got too close. And it got in my eyes. And that’s how it happened. Thankfully it happened only five minutes away from our house, and mama was able to dump a water-bottle full of water into my eyes…[Read more]

I’m going to go with Arianwen again. Her arc mirrors Harold’s, making it a type one. They both follow disillusionment arcs.
Arianwen’s, however, more represents the flip side of Harold’s, because while Harold was particularly disillusioned with the ‘good guys’ and almost considered joining the bad guys, Arianwen, because she was on the wrong side…[Read more]

@Overcomer *grins* I like this. Muchly. The only thing I might say do differently than how you have it is make this the peddler’s story, not the princess’s. By which I mean, take out the intro about the princess who had trouble dancing (hilarious though it is) and just start with the peddler on the road meeting the dancing master. That will give…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Ah, yes, Ear o’ corn and leg o’ lamb are great! I love it when they talk to each other. I also really like Grumpy. “Got any waffles?” What are some of your favorite books?

@graciegirl I looked up HSA. It looks like a great program! I’ll tell my dad about it. I think one of my other friends uses it, though I’m not positive. Wow, 50 minutes three times a week? That’s a lot! *gives you a high-five.*

Yeah, Ahem is pretty funny. I like it when the eagle shouts at them. What are some of your favorite books?

@dragon-snapper What’s WIP? I could get up and cross the room and open the door and walk down the hall and open another door and poke my head in and ask @daeus, but I’m too sleepy to do that right now. 😀

Do you know how to make your whistle high-pitched? I love doing that. I had a tin whistle before I lost it, and I loved playing on it. You…[Read more]

@Jane-Maree yup. Don’t I know it. 😛

@Daeus well, you didn’t read the first draft, thank goodness. SO MUCH SUPERFLUOUS MATERIAL.
