{Can you tell I've been watching a lot of lord of the rings lately?} So I'm technically not a new member, but I've been absent for such a disastrously long period of time {and obviously missed a lot} so I felt the urge to greet all you amazing writers again. Speaking of lord of the rings, I...

The best movie villain for me is hands down the Joker. Book-wise, Umbridge. God, I think all HP fans hate her with more of a passion than Voldemort

Honestly, as a massive 'Lord of the Rings' fan (of both books and movies), I was thrilled to hear that the Hobbit would soon be a movie. But...it really fell flat for me. I didn't bother with the second film. I was already too enraged and frustrated with the first. But this trailer is so...

Hey, fellow writers! I write organically, whatever that means mostly to stir emotions, and sometimes I find myself using strikethrough, or s t r e t c h i n g out certain words, or, once in a while, writing a paragraph that goes something like this: Is this "acceptable"? Does it turn...

Aw, I love this! Gotta bookmark... thanks for sharing :)

Writing is always an unpredictable mix of fun and stress for me, but either way, I just enjoy writing something. Three things I do to make writing fun... I have a Tumblr blog for breathtaking pictures I find that are relating to what I'm writing (looking at them always gets me excited), music...

I love it, Svrt! Thanks for sharing... Haha, agreed, Joe :D

This is exactly what I needed right now... gotta bookmark this. Thanks for sharing!

Sometimes I use word generators like Serendipity: Country Name Generator or Chaotic Shiny - Writing and RPG-Related Generators . Most of the times, I play around with words in other languages, specifically Welsh and Estonian. Sometimes my mind decides to produce a brilliant name, but that's only...

I agree! The svalchor is also very detailed. Once in a while, I try to sketch out the images I see in my mind, but I can't get much further than strangely shaped relatives of stick figures. This is inspiring, though. :) Thanks for sharing!

The seed for my story was born when I was nine or ten, but since then it has grown so much that it's hardly the same story. -As a little dreamer, I imagined the story with about ten books in the series. I created titles, wrote the back covers, and a year realized how insane that was. -The...

Tumblr, where I keep a collection of pictures related to my novel. Music. And I've favorited inspiring articles about young authors and their success, enough to boost my spirits when I feel like writing has no point.

(Wow, I was just writing about this last night!) I think two things make my story unique -- the setting and the protagonist. Lindmîr is a world with lands that don't just expand, but grow upwards, with layers only the mind can see. So basically, the first layer is what your eyes see, the...

I bought a Nook HD and it was the best purchase I've ever made. I use it every day for much MUCH more than reading. It's sad to see that Nooks aren't doing so well. I love them much more than any Apple product, personally. :cry: Hang in there, Nook... I'll buy a hundred of you if that's what it...
