Love the combination of goofy v.s. serious answers. 😛

I’m not sure if it’s still active on Twitter or not. I read about it second-hand.

And if y’all want my goofy answer: For backwards-facing passengers on subway things who need something to distract themselves from motion sickness.

And Kate…I’m cracking up. My first default response to any unexpected situation, especially embarrassing or dangerous, is to laugh. The second is to think, “Oh, cool. Brain, let’s take notes.”

Ha! Love it, Daeus.

Oooh, good question. I’d like to know others’ opinions, too. 🙂

“The pen is mightier than the sword…” “…But I really like swords.” RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER.

Okay. You’re officially awesome.

Yes, yes we should.

And I had to go look in the “followers” tab since I have notifications turned off for people I don’t follow. 😛 Found you! I kind of quote everyone and everything on Pinterest these days…sometimes I forget to ask first. Whoops. Hehe, glad you don’t mind!

Ugh, it always gets rid of the link. Let’s modify it a bit then: http://www.pinterest(dot)com/pin/492229434252014260/

I don’t drink coffee either. 🙂

I hope you don’t mind, I quoted you on Pinterest.

This is my favorite part: “a people who will watch quietly/as the world, in all its glory and depravity/spins out of control/and still believe/it’s worth saving.”

I’m kind of terrible at critiquing poetry, since I don’t really know what I’m doing there. But yeah, the line breaks feel a little choppy at times. Could just be me though.

Love the message. 🙂

Seconding what the others said about a little color or something, as it is somewhat of a plain design.

And I like the “A Poem” poem! 🙂

Ezra, you’ve got some interesting points, there.

I used to only write in first person until a couple months ago. Now I tend to prefer third for short stories (I’m not sure why, it just always seems to happen that way) and first for novels. However, my WIP has changed a lot since I wrote the first draft years ago with my two MCs and their POVs…[Read more]

Also, when you have a cloak that you made for a movie and you really want to wear it to church sometime (though I don’t know how much that longing actually has to do with being a writer).

Hehe…I’ve done that. But the cloak wasn’t for a movie, it was just…for no reason. Granted, I wore it to church during VBS week (medieval theme) so it d…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when your mom asks you if there is anything fun you want to do tonight and you decide it would be best to read your book like you have been doing every night, and then when she asks you if there is anything else, you suggest she help you with your editing.

YES. Yes, yes, yes…I should absolutely do that sometime.

You know you’re a writer if you would give even a moment’s serious consideration to dressing up in full costume and going out just to see how many people looked at you funny.

I’ve considered wearing my colonial dress to church, if that counts. 😛 (Haven’t done it though.)

My 10 year old brother seems to be my agent. He’s constantly sayin…

Agreed that thumb drives are annoying and hard to remember to use.

I write on Google Docs, which saves automatically every few seconds and is stored “in the cloud,” so that’s basically all I do as far as back up goes. It’s free, and I can access it anywhere, so that works for me! (I actually started using it when our family got a couple of old…[Read more]

Hi Ivy! Nice to meet you. 🙂 Your book sounds interesting!

And Hope, indie publishing means publishing by yourself–“indie” is kind of short for “independent” (self publishing).

Jada, I know how you feel. I think in the past year I hit a place where I’ve learned so much about writing without practicing it as I go that my writing feels woefully inadequate compared with my knowledge. And so I’ve had a hard time pressing on and writing a rough draft (or even my complete rewrite of a story, which isn’t quite the same as a…[Read more]
