Pretty horses! Thanks for sharing!

Cute story; I'm glad you used them! I need to get them out again... (Sorry about all the typos in my last post, everyone! I must have been quite distracted!)

I took a set on our recent family vacation to Disneyland. I had thought we could use them on the airplane or at the hotel in the evenings; the kids like creative writing as much as I do. Well, we didn't actually write much, but we used them while standing in the long lines at Disneyland. We...

Good: - I won (5th year running!) -I love my story this year, so will be working on it more in the coming months. -the site was better able to handle the crowds. Bad: -Even though this is my fifth Nano, this one is still a mess! Not as bad as some years, I am more organized than in...

Well, on the OLL sites I am Ladypamela. Here, of course, I am LadyPamela. I have to keep it simple so I don't get confused! :)

Thanks for bringing that article over for us! Two of my favorite authors, definitely on the rise in the fantasy genre.

When I read anything by Brandon Sanderson I usually think 'now why didn't I think of that?' He's great! His magic systems and creatures are truly unique, and I love Vin and her gang. My only tiny criticism is that Vin's character development is at times a tad transparent. I also loved...

Just saw this. Thank you for your kind wishes! I'm a mom of four awesome kids, and it was a great day. I love being a mom!

Tigana and Lions of Al-Rassan are two of my favorites. In fact I am reading Lions right now, rereading actually. Keep going, Phil! It's an amazing story. So is Tigana. So well written, and interesting story concepts. GGK is an amazing author, and not talked about much on the fantasy boards...

Previous: Jane Eyre by Bronte Current: The Name of the Wind by Rothfuss (loving the story device!) Upcoming: Not sure yet. I don't think I'll read Wise Man's Fear yet. Maybe... Book III of song of Ice and Fire. I'm working my through that series again in anticipation of Dance With Dragons...

Welcome back! I too have been an infrequent visitor/poster this month. It's good to be back, isn't it?

Ok, so it's clear to me by now that I won't make it to 50k this month. I've been distracted by stuff, not sure where to begin, too picky for word choice, etc. All the stuff that writing for Nano cures us of! But I (finally) have found the right way to tell the story. So I am hopeful to continue...

I love these quotes! I relate to the one by Terry Pratchett, who needs 10-20k to get into the current story. I tell myself this over and over as I muddle and hem and haw over the beginning when I really need to just plow through until the story begins to write itself. I also think of the first...

Umm, not a lot of science, actually, in my current WIP. Just regular people in a secondary world, with cool creatures that don't exist here (griffins and dragons!). I am toying with the idea of my FMC discovering latent powers of some sort, but I haven't worked out the details. Oh, yeah, and I...

Anyone still cranking away? I'm having a challenge meeting the challenge! I want to write meaningful prose, so I slow down, and yet if I go too slow, there is no progress! Balance, balance... :-) I decided to take a step back and work on my synopsis today. My novel is complex, with a lot of...
