@jenwriter17 I’m hoping the pace won’t be too fast, but I understand if you can’t do it. 🙂

@dragongeek @overcomer @naomijackson @martina @toklaham-veruzia @supermonkey42 Awesome! Would you guys like to suggest some books to read? Limit it to two or three so we won’t have too many options to vote on. And make sure your suggested books are PG.…[Read more]

I finally got around to reading my article: http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/emotion-vs-feeling-evoke-readers

1. I love how this writer defines feeling as refined emotion. 🙂 That was a helpful definition to learn.

2. I thought his use of surprise to create emotion was interesting. It makes…[Read more]

@KiraElizabeth Let me ask 🙂 I’m assuming you just give them to me, but let me make sure.

@Sam-kowal I like that one! It’s a good reminder to use other tools to show emotion and not solely rely on telling, internal sensations, or body language (which I tend to do).

I agree that it’s not something to use all the time, but it’s helpful to keep in mind. 🙂

@dragonGeek Yes, you can still join 🙂

@toklaham-veruzia
I don’t think I have heard of it, so you’re probably right.

@naomijackson Congrats on your publication! 😀

@jenwriter17 Bravo for finishing your first draft! 😀

@overcomer Sure :). Are you launching a website soon?

@kiraelizabeth Oooh, that’s a good thing to remember. 🙂

@toklaham-veruzia What book are you reviewing?

@jenwriter17 That’s a good one! 😀 I need to remember to show instead of tell emotion. Telling is just so much easier sometimes. 😛

@kiraelizabeth No, next Monday’s word count does not count. 🙂

@kiraelizabeth That is a fantastic question that I don’t know the answer to. I will ask Daeus. 🙂

@overcomer @jenwriter17 Ok! I’ll let you guys know if we need ya. (I’m editing myself, so I understand the conundrum. I wish there was a way to count it.)

@naomijackson Daeus is going to set up a document where you can submit your word count. 🙂

@Kiraelizabeth That’s really awesome! 😀 Consistency is key.

@toklaham-veruzia Bravo! 😀 *hands you a trophy for reaching your goal* *Throws golden confetti*

@Sam-kowel @kiraelizabeth @toklaham-veruzia How did you guys do on your goals for this week? I managed about 8 or 9 chapters of my WIP and only reached the outline/first draft stage of my articles, so I didn’t quite make my goal. I blame books. 😉

@supermonkey42 There are four. Yup, that one’s hers. 🙂

@sleepwalkingMK Bravo! I really like the contrast. 🙂

@Supermonkey42 Whoa, I liked how you explained where his excitement came from, or else we probably would have thought he was sadistic or something. And I also liked how in the end, you had him open his eyes to what was really going on around him. 🙂 There was a bit of telling in there that I…[Read more]
