Her name is Smore. ]]> By: Megan https://kristinavanhoose.com/2015/08/14/getting-to-know-you/comment-page-1/#comment-376 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 16:07:39 +0000 http://kristinavanhoose.com/?p=465#comment-376 I used to write it on paper too, but that was easy to lose, so I started using a word document (pretty hard to lose that)
Sometimes I’ll do that too. I don’t want slow violins when I’m writing an action scene.:)
Kitty…that’s about as creative as Jack for a Jack Russell. Lol:) Kids come up with the funniest things. At least she didn’t get stuck thinking that was her name. What did you end up naming her? ]]> By: sandeept252 https://kristinavanhoose.com/2015/08/14/getting-to-know-you/comment-page-1/#comment-375 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 12:37:58 +0000 http://kristinavanhoose.com/?p=465#comment-375 Exactly, fantasies are difficult to construct. While writing more than one story at a time, I find myself in a crazy situation, so I focus on one to forget the other. This means to re-read and re-write the next time I think of it.
Yes, “Jelly Beans” is not sweet as you might think. It’s a twisted tale. ]]> By: Kristina Van Hoose https://kristinavanhoose.com/2015/08/14/getting-to-know-you/comment-page-1/#comment-374 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 03:28:09 +0000 http://kristinavanhoose.com/?p=465#comment-374 Lol I wasn’t organized enough to type them up in a word document. I wrote them on post its amd random paper though. Lol. I’m thinking I’ll probably self publish too at first. And I listen to soundtracks all the time. It definitely is helpful for writing scenes! In a long scene, I may even place a song on repeat until the scene is complete. And haha. Little kids I suppose aren’t the best at naming things. When I got my cat, my nieces wanted to call her kitty. I kept saying no to it, but until we found out if she was a true stray and free of feline leukemia, I didn’t want to give her a name. They kept calling her kitty while we waited. I was worried she’d get stuck thinking it was her name! Thankfully, it did not. :) ]]> By: Megan https://kristinavanhoose.com/2015/08/14/getting-to-know-you/comment-page-1/#comment-372 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 18:17:51 +0000 http://kristinavanhoose.com/?p=465#comment-372 I have to make myself stop going through the suggested reading list on GoodReads because within two minutes, I have added more books than I can read in a year. All those books just make me so happy!
So, yes I do use GoodReads, but before I found them I used to copy paste any books I wanted to read into a word document. (True nerd for ya!)
I’m glad my one-sentence blog synopsis turned out so well since I did it spur of the moment. Hmm…I’ll have to put it on my blog somewhere to get people intrigued. Thanks for the question! It got my creative juices flowing!
I think I’ll try self publishing for my first book. Partly because I have a feeling my first book will be less than novel length, so self publishing on Amazon would be the best choice. I also want to sidestep the whole heartache of sending your book out to millions of agents or publishers only to receive a million rejection letters. At least for the first book. Maybe knowing that I at least have a book out there (even if it is self published) will help me face the rejection. But who knows…I may change my mind and just go strait for the rejection. Why put off fun times?😉
Thank you! It took me a while to get that trait.:)
Yes! I do the same thing! I have to have something to listen to when I write. It helps me concentrate and gets me feeling the mood of the music, which is great for writing dramatic scenes. I’ve found that listening to movie soundtracks works best for this since the composers are usually targeting a specific emotion.
My Jack Russell’s name is…*drumroll*… Jack! Real creative right? It was kind of my little sister’s idea. I was just glad it wasn’t something like Mr. Squishy or Sweety Pie (Which sometimes she calls him) or something equally bizarre, so I went with it.:) ]]> By: Sarah's Attic of Treasures https://kristinavanhoose.com/2015/08/14/getting-to-know-you/comment-page-1/#comment-370 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 22:02:16 +0000 http://kristinavanhoose.com/?p=465#comment-370 Dressage?
