Kelly Lundgren

@kelly-lundgren Cool! Sometimes one of the best ways we can make it a little easier on ourselves is to design our cast of characters with strong contrasts like you did. Each member is just that much easier to remember, and will stick out to our readers more. 🙂

@princess-foo What you described is an excellent way to get into the heads of your c…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren “You know you’re an artist when you complain about not having the right shade of any color pretty much any time you go to fill in any drawing.”

That is so me when I use markers or colored pencils xD

Okey Dokey here’s my piece. It’s short—probably too short to be of much use, and I did use some telling by Jakar saying that she was a peasant, but what I was trying to get at was her reaction to being called a peasant—but here it is. @kelly-lundgren

Jakar locked eyes with mine. “Give me the dragon.”Sydni snuggled deeper into my arms…[Read more]

So… Character Voice.

First, let’s define character voice briefly. This is important because we need to be aware of and distinguish between three different voices here: authorial voice, narrative voice, and character voice.

First, authorial voice is your voice: your humor, your natural patterns of words, your instinctual word choices, and e…[Read more]

New week, new resolve. We’re getting closer and closer to the end of the year, guys. Let’s keep up our motivation to press on, fight well, write better, and keep each other moving.

Last week, I did not get any work done in my WIP (tho I did write some poetry), but I did fulfill my second goal, and I got some more beta-reading done. Pretty…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren I won! *runs around excitedly* *actually goes to go to bed now*

@kelly-lundgren 260 words. 😀
I have to go to bed now. Good night!

@kelly-lundgren Okay. 15 minutes.
I shall go run off to set my timer and see you when we finish. 🙂

@emgc do you want to do another war?

@kelly-lundgren @sarah-narnathron @enu @filewriter @princess-foo @warrenluther04 @sarah-inkdragon @allison-grace Do any of y’all wanna hop in and do some word wars?

@seekjustice @kelly-lundgren @filewriter @sarah-inkdragon @devastate-lasting @enu @sarah-narnathron @warrenluther04 @princess-foo @karthmin @Erekdale-people-doing-nano
So I had an idea that we Ereki can buddy each other on the Nano site so that we can encourage each other. Or something like that. Good idea? 🙂
Of course this is only if you’re…[Read more]

Hail, friends!

We come to another week.

State how your goals went last week, and set new ones for this one! 🙂

My goals were sadly unfulfilled, so I think they will remain the same, with some additions.

1. Get some work done in my WIP!

2. Critique two Ereki pieces in the critique section, and submit part three of my critique pieces for…[Read more]

@emgc Awesome!

@kelly-lundgren @catwing Sure, we can buddy up! I’ll go look for you.   My username is Bree Hammond, jsyk.

@emgc @kelly-lundgren If any of y’all Emberians want to be writing buddies then, I’m on the normal site under this same name, Catwing. I signed up yesterday. Still may need to fill out some of the things. XP

Okay. Wow. All of you guys did amazing. Special shout-out to @seekjustice and @emgc (2,500 a day!?!?!?) for exceeding 10,000 words this week! That’s insane!

I have never produced that much writing in a week. I’m honestly rather jealous. I added a measly 246 words – I wrote a poem, and wasn’t able to do any work on my WIP, either :'(

As for our…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren I’m not sure that I understand the strikethrough text… Enlighten us? 😛
