@Dragon-snapper I’ve recently started up a facebook page too, and I’m just learning the ropes. I normally share all my blog posts on there, and some updates on my WIPs (though I should do that more). I’m thinking of doing a ‘Saturday Snippets’ sort of thing where I share a piece of writing every Saturday, etc.

Other than that, I also second…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper First of all, nice example. 🙂

I don’t think that it’s too dismal by itself. Even a lot of that can be good. It creates tension, you know.

It just takes a little bit of hope to keep the reader on the right track. Simple things too. Depression works because it pretends to be immense. Little, pleasurable, “childish” (quote on…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99  *tackle hugs you*  Love you to bits, my dear.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 My pleasure. XD

@dragon-snapper We’ll I think you’re the first to ever reveal their name after hiding it for a long time. It’s kinda funny too because Danielle has a really soft feel to it which…doesn’t exactly make me think of a dragon. lol. Don’t burn me with a ball of flame, please! I like the name. It starts with a Da, after all. What more could you ask for?

@dragon-snapper *drops jaw* Did you just reveal your…actual name?

@That_writer_girl_99 I’m feeling slightly sentimental like you’re leaving, but you’re celebrating the fact that you’re not leaving. I find that utterly fascinating. Write that down somewhere. Happiness can be sad.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 Yay!!! Congratulations, and may you reap the goodness of KP for many more years. 😉 D’ye remember our first conversation? It was regarding Luke Skywalker and whether or not he’s whiny. XD

@That_Writer_Girl_99 wow… has it really almost been a year? 😛 Time flies.

Hey, I happily take the credit for all those terrible (awesome) things if it means I helped you grow even the tiniest bit. Thank you. I’m glad. Keep going. 😉

@that_writer_girl_99. YAY!!! A whole year! So glad you joined us. 🙂 And it really is wonderful how much you can learn in the bestistest place on the internet! Happy KP-versary!

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’m so so happy that you checked out the ‘too good to be true’ forum. This place wouldn’t be the same without epic people like you to spread some happiness and friendly words of encouragement and advice.

Seriously, girl. You’re amazing. <3

@Dekreel This is great. XD And I agree with @ClaireC, the small installments are nice; makes it easier to read and in one sitting. 😉

@PerfectFifths If you really could cut in perfect fifths that would be quite a feat.

@dekreel  *wild applause*

@dekreel, good work. 🙂 I like the small installments.

@dragon-snapper, uuuuuummmmmmmm.

yeah.

I’m not going to be much help with this, cause I do the same thing.

One of the things I’ve found helpful is, like @daeus said, insert hope. Your characters should be driven by their goals.

Unless your MC is like mine, who is just plain hurting and miserable, and kind of takes it out on everyone else.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper If the problem is just that your story seems too dismal, make sure there’s always an element of hope mixed in with the chaos and strive to focus on your characters’ yearnings/ambitions that drive them forward. If you’ve got that all down, I bout your story could be too dismal. Problems tend to intensify stories. It’s only stories…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper 😀

*when you should be studying for your Philosophy exam but would rather laugh at other Keepers’ insane awesomeness*
Yep. You guys are the greatest. XD

@ariella-newheart  AHHHHHHHH!   I love her so much!  My favorite part is her eyes.  And the dress…absolutely perfect.  🙂
