  • Okay, seriously though. Why is it ?! and not !?...? I like the way !? looks better than ?!.

    I just looked it up. Apparently it's because you are mainly asking a question that you are just saying loudly.

  • How should I rewrite this sentence for my NaNo?
    Everyone on the table except for Kelly and Greg burst into a roar of chaotic shouts.

    1) The whole table burst into a cacophony of chaotic shouts, all except for Kelly and Greg.
    2) Everyone at the lunch table burst into roars of chaotic screaming, except for Kelly and Greg.

    Or should I combine the two?

  • All these reposts of the YWS birthday thing is simultaneously making me feel really old and really young.

  • Okay, seriously though. Why is it ?! and not !?...? I like the way !? looks better than ?!.


    Quillfeather um... I always do it !?

    spottedpebble Yeah, but which editing gods decided it in the first place? I would like to use both interchangeably.

    What I'm saying is that the grammatically correct way is ?!, but I wish it was !?.

  • I feel like my first chapter of my NaNo story is way too long. (I'm still writing it.) It's giving away basically all the plot.

    Of course, I'm a pantser who usually reorganizes chapters and sections in those chapters pretty much every week, so I should cut myself some slack. I'll reorganize everything when I have the first draft completely written. (Or if something just really isn't working so I have to swap some stuff around.)


    Snoink I don't know if this makes you feel better, but my first chapter in one of my novels is like... just under 17k words, so um. Your chapter is probably just fine, haha.

    Just keep writing! :)

    EllieMae what is your 16 personality type?

    spottedpebble Oh yeah, I forgot to say. On all sites it's INFJ, one one of them specifically it's the Advocate, on another one it's the Advisor.

  • I'm done with the NaNo, done with the NaNo, uh uh.

    At least for today. It's not hard since my end goal is only a word count of 10,000, not 50,000.

    Now I can finally sleeeeeeeep!!! (Although it's not even that late. I'm just tired. ;P)

    spottedpebble I can't, sadly 'cause this is a school computer so writer feeds are blocked.

    Thanks for yelling at me though! I should be able to crank out the right amount of words now.
