Yup, I fully agree with the different parts of one body but all working together and no part is any better than another!

And ya, it’s true that although I’m dropping novel writing, I can still be of help to others, and I believe there are other poets on here that I could share ideas with and such. Granted, my poems…[Read more]

@erynne

Aww, thanks. 🙂 I feel sorta like it really is a family now (@obrian-of-the-surface-world) with you guys telling me not to go. Haha

Lol, I love how you say ‘writing life’ and ‘life life’, because I totally know what you mean. 😉 They’re sorta separate worlds for me too, haha.

But ya, I was just gonna leave because of the reasons I gave…[Read more]

@obrian-of-the-surface-world

That was pretty encouraging to hear. 🙂 I may stay now because of it, but I’ll explain my situation a bit more so you understand why I was intending to leave.

I enjoy writing, I really do, but I’ve realized over the past two months that writing is not something I want to pursue with a great deal of time because it’s…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

It certainly is, and thank you. 🙂

Well good for you for stepping out and trying. Sometimes that’s not always easy, but while it doesn’t always turn out well, when it does it’s well worth the uncertainty at first.

@rose-colored-fancy

Haha, you are welcome for the unintentional idea and I hope it works out! I often just number my titles, which I like as well, but titles are fun sometimes.

#ForeshadowingIsTheBest 😛 🙂

Very true!

@rose-colored-fancy

It does, though if we’re being truly fair, we wouldn’t have stories to write if it wasn’t for life. 😉 But ya, I get what you mean. It’s okay though, because I’m a little worn out right now and need a bit of a break anyway, so needing to pause writing right now is actually good for me.

You’re welcome! 🙂 It’s always nice to…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

No problem! I like answering when I can. 🙂

Agreed!!! I’ve always loved how unique the book and chapter titles are and have even thought about making my titles similar, since I love them so much. xD I might, but who knows…

Yup, foreshadowing adds a lot to a story that you just can’t get any other way. *sighs contentedly,…[Read more]

I was planning on joining NaNoWriMo this year, but I changed my mind and I’m not planning on it anymore do to some different life stuff I need to focus on. Which sadly means not spending as much time on side things, like writing. I’ll still write, but I’m not sure how much I’ll be doing in the next little while.

But in answer to your un-asked…[Read more]

I haven’t personally written in first person-past tense, but I know I’ve read a few books at least with that POV and I enjoyed them. I can’t think of them in the moment, but I know I’ve read some before.

One of the things I enjoy the most about that POV is how the MC (or narrator, basically), can foreshadow and leave hints here and there about…[Read more]

Hey Rose!

I couldn’t help noticing the title and thinking “sounds like it should be from the Mysterious Benedict Society”, and voila! you mentioned it yourself! xD Those books are so good.

But after seeing that catching title, let me finish reading what this was about in the first place… xP

@michelle

Sure thing! I only wrote the first draft so far and it’s pretty bad, so I can get back with you after I write the second draft.Though I’m not sure when that will be, since I just started working on a new story for a break and to learn more about the main things in storytelling, like plotting everything out first, character arcs, and so…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920

Oh, that sounds cool! It is rather difficult trying to put your own story into six words though, or it was for me anyway. I was like “there’s so much to it that I can’t just do six words!” 😛 Haha

@michelle

Ya, it’s a nice post to come back into the community with. 🙂 Nice to meet you too! *waves back* I’m actually not sure how…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920 Sounds cool, but I think I’ll skip.

@rose-colored-fancy

I know, same! It was fun writing them.

I know, the one about Josh is really sad, but the idea isn’t mine. I got it from a book I recently read, called The Brotherhood by Jerry B Jenkins. It was really good, though sad.

Haha, you caught me! I wasn’t going to do it since I…[Read more]

@michelle

No problem! It was fun.

By the way, how do you know my mom likes you? 😉 Haha
