Lucas: Would your character rather be lost on a strange planet with his/her best friend, or be lost on Earth by his/her self?

Jay: I have no best friend – oh wait! I do! What on Dragamere is ‘Earth’? Is it a strange planet?

Aleck: I’ll take the strange planet.

Malcom Ace: I wouldn’t be lost on Earth for long, after all, I’ve…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 Gosh, yeah that’s hard. If there’s ever anything I can do, let me know.

@anne_the_noob14 Yeah, definitely milder. Just a long process of dealing with something that potentially could get worse, but it’s going to take five years, so woot.

I’m praying for you and your Mum. <3

@anne_the_noob14 I’m actually a jerk, don’t believe the facade.

The newest opening theme for one of my favorite anime (violence, some blood, mild language warning) is called Traitor’s Requiem, and someone made a joke analogizing the title to the phrase “digging your own grave.” And I thought, “Hey that’s pretty sweet I’m gonna stick it in my…[Read more]

Guys, I’m so proud of you!

It was really nice to come back from a week of injections, hospital trips, conferences, and essays (legit. It should not be legal to assign teenagers with thirteen essays to do in five days. *dramatic sob*) and to find that you had gotten on with writing, and had done an a.m.a.z.i.n.g job at it. So proud. You guys made…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 No worries. In this area I’m as much a noob as you are :p You’re not being a nuisance at all. (Nearly) any guild activity is good activity.

@anne_the_noob14

😁

@anne_the_noob14 It’s no trouble at all. I wish you the best with your writing!

@anne_the_noob14 There are two different “summaries” you’ll need for your book. The shorter one’s usually called an elevator pitch, which is the quick thing you tell people so they know what you’re book’s about in a few seconds, and the second is called a blurb, which is what you put on the back of your cover/on your Amazon page.

I’ve…[Read more]

Okay guys, I’m finished! I tried my best, but I’m still not sure if the end brought out the beauty of the hands enough. I put it at the end of the doc (it starts on page four), so please go ahead and edit and suggest away! I tried to keep a lot of the original in it, but I might have missed some good sections, so feel free to add them back in.…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14

Ah! Glad to hear from you. And yes, you have been graced with the actual presence of my dramatic self. *bows with a flourish*

But alas, you have nothing to fear from me in the realm of coffee. Besides, I have no doubt you will come to enjoy it more later in life. Though again, I am possibly incorrect.

Hey everyone!

Okay, I’ve changed it to present tense, but with all the confusing edits on the doc I think it will be easier if I work on finishing the draft in a separate doc. I’ll use what’s already on this doc and add to the ending to flesh out the beauty of the ordinary hands. I may need to rework some sections that are already written so it…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 That’s much better! Especially the last sentence. Goodness, now I want to read this story. Is it the same one you posted about a few months ago?

(Oh, and the wasp fell victim to The Killer Vacuum Cleaner)

@anne_the_noob14 Okay, I would suggest making your summary a little more ambiguous. You state up-front that Kiel and Hazel and their acquaintances overthrow a tyrant king, but that sort of ruins the story by telling the readers that everything will be okay in the end, no matter what happens along the way. Adding an element of mystery raises the…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 One thing I do notice is that your summary gives a lot of spoilers for the book. What will you be using it for? Just an outline for your own purposes, or a hook to get a reader’s attention? Whatever the case, your story sounds cool. It’s like fantasy and sci-fi mashed together.

This is a good point. Inside the burning house probably wouldn’t be the best place to write the reminiscing scene. @j-a-penrose @everyone_else What do you guys think?

And if you agree, how should the MC and grandmother get out? Should we use an older MC who’s able to carry the grandmother out? Should a firefighter intervene? Any other…[Read more]

Okay guys. So sorry I’ve been gone, been dealing with doctors not believing me about my allergies until it was pretty obvious I was a mess, combined with the end of term rush of writing a ton of essays and music reports. *facepalm* But I’m back now.

I’m agreeing with Grandmother’s hands. Also, seeing that it has to be in a dramatic setting, maybe…[Read more]
