Re: New Moderator Welcome: Ink!
Danke! Already I feel the vast moderatorial power going to my head. Just itching to delete people. Don't think you will have to wait long. I think GRILMLITPAR is just screaming for you to reveal your power. I don't think I would be the only one glad to see him/her evicted along with his/her sex vid...

Re: What are you reading now?
Just finished Hush, Hush (loved it) and am reading The Heretic's Daughter. Next up is Wake. No way! I just finished Hush, Hush yesterday! (I also loved it) That's funny. CV Ok, so this may already be common knowledge, but... did you know... that Nathan and Becca Fitzpatrick (Hush Hush) share the sa...

Re: Excertp from nameless novel.
Hey Crystal, Just thought I would let you know I am with EG on this one. I also think that her scars would still be newish to her after only 3 months (especially if she has been unconscious and incoherent for much of that time). Maybe (and lonly maybe) you could clarify this part, but it is only jus...

Re: How many of you write while tipsy?
I think the danger of this is that it becomes a crutch, an "I need this to write". I think it's better to depend on yourself. Trust yourself. Write enough and those inhibitions will naturally fall away. That drinking slope can be slippery indeed... Yep that would be my worry too. I mean a...

Re: Sam said vs. said Sam
I don't think there are any rules. I have read both (mixed up) in many books. But for some reason (and I don't know why) I prefer Sam said. Maybe it is because I see said Sam in kids books more often than adult. Just use whatever flows best.

Book discussions
I am currently halfway through reading The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold (which I found in the YA section) - and thoroughly enjoying it. My only reservation with this book is the assumption that it is a YA novel. The narrator is 14, so I am assuming that kids as young as 11 or 12 might read it. The b...

Sharing plot ideas that you couldn't/wouldn't write yourself
I don't know how the topic came up, but last night we had a conversation about conjoined twins. And it occurred to me that that might make an interesting legal story (one twin desperately wants to be separated while the other resists due to the very real possibility of one or both of them dying as a...

Re: Excertp - REVELATION: The Book of Angel.
Thanks Brom, Ermo and Cas. I'll certainly be working on setting, sense of time and character descriptions during my edits. I thought I might include my original preface to give a little background. This has been cut and I am in the process of trying to weave into the story. PREFACE Sunshine Estate i...

Re: New Moderator Welcome: Ink!
Hey, I'm blushing. Damn that pale Irish skin. OMG he's an Irishman! I'll never forget one day after work about 17 years ago. I was about 21 and unattached (with a killer figure and not bad looking either - oh how things change). Anyway I was walking to my car, and a young Irish gentleman was approa...

Re: Finding an unforgettable (and hopefully unused) title...
I haven't written my book yet. I've just been plotting for months, but I have a title I love. Hopefully I won't go crazy and make some drastic change in the plot that makes my perfect title irrelevant. (Oh goodness. Why must I be so unpredictable?) Anyway, my title's changed three times. I would ha...

Re: Just for fun: What movie stars would be best for your MS?
Who hasn't obsessed over the casting for their novel? Hell I even have the music, opening and closing credit scenes and the locations. So for my 16-yr-old amnesiac MC - Angel, the choice is either Dekota Fanning or Anna-Sophia Robb (first choice I think). http://api.ning.com/files/NsfLnaFys0kgU52eC7...
