Daeus Lamb

@bama-rose Don’t worry about it. We all learned something new, which is great 😀

@daeus-lamb I’m going to sleep over here, so here is the draft as final as I can get it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12GYU8Kcy0Iv6D6ZFs2E39JjkKOFFFIPC8alipiZfx5s/edit

If anyone sees grammar or wording problems, please just go ahead and edit the document…[Read more]

Thank you all for your thoughts!

@jane-maree Yes, it currently is a cliffhanger ending… I’ll keep in mind the point about having his POV slowly phase out though 😉

@Josiah heh, well, he is known for being sarcastic and stealing the hearts of several beta readers 😛 I may end up adding his scenes in once I write the actual book, but…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb Thank you for the update!

@daeus-lamb @noahlitle @cassandraia @eden-anderson @germaine-han

Does anybody know where to put en dashes, em dashes and hyphens? And does it matter? I’m having trouble understanding it when I research it….

@daeus-lamb

I know it’s kind of late, but I just thought I’d pop in and say that I don’t like the nested comments idea. But this is the only forum I’ve been a part of, so take that with a grain of salt, I guess.

I was about to post a new topic, but went to look for a similar question first…. While I haven’t read all of the comments yet, the guys seem to have given some great input!

I saw that @daeus-lamb said, “I sometimes see girls write who write passive guys who don’t seem to have strong yearnings or goals, but, while this might stem partly from th…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb I love that you brought this up. I can’t particularly think of anything from literature, but @eden-anderson is right about porn and sexual abuse being taboo in churches and only now starting to be talked about. I would add mental illnesses to that list, particularly depression. I’ve heard way too many Christians (and used to believe…[Read more]

@literatureforthelight

I agree with @bama-rose ‘s comments. Everything looked good. The only thing I would change is the actual writing – the sentence choices. You seem to tell a bit here and there.

Another thing that I would kind of like to change (this is totally up to you, don’t be afraid to say no) is the order we get the story in. With your…[Read more]

Here’s Draft 1! Obviously it’s still a long way from being coherent, but I just want to show this to you all and see what you think.

1. Does the setting/background make sense? Have I appeared to stereotype any culture?
2. Is the conflict between the characters…

@daeus-lamb Oh okay, thanks for getting back to me.

@daeus-lamb

Wow, awesome article! This was so interesting! And I loved all the examples…it helped make everything so much easier to understand!

Thanks for sharing. 👍

@daeus-lamb When will Apprentice Island be an official guild? with a little badge and everything:)

Sorry for being off for so long. Yesterday, I couldn’t access the forum thread (or any forum thread) but it seems to be back on today. I went ahead and did some prewriting, though.

So what I have right now is a story about a figure skater, who’s story has been about switching coaches and working his way through all the new struggles to finally l…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb this is awesome! Thanks for this list! I, too, pretty much only show the culture by the swears…or I view them as just expressions that people say, but I suppose they’re probably taken as swears…. I’ll have to think about different kinds of things people say besides just swears/expressions of surprise.

@daeus-lamb Okay. Thanks. I hope I get to meet you in person there.

I joined the Facebook group and found someone else who was looking for a roommate. Thanks for responding.

@r-m-archer @daeus-lamb Thanks!

@noahlitle Okay, I’m glad I understood the concept. I see what you mean, that it would be comparing two events, in the past and the present. My concern about being complicated mostly has to do with how we choose to format this, because I don’t want to confuse the reader with alternating clips in the present and then snippets of flashback. The idea…[Read more]
