Fishcake: chuck23 - the book is called Twenty Master Plots by Ronald b Tobias.
    Chuck23: I may have to check it out... -
    sibhus: Hey, Fishcake I love your quote, ha, ha, ha. -


Fishcake: My characters in my novel do stuff that is out of control!!!! Good thing or not so good thing?!!!!
    nor84: It depends, Fishcake. Sometimes they can improve the story, but when they don't their creator has to grab them, give them a shake, and say "Back to work, and this time do it the way I told you to." -
    Fishcake: Thanks Nor84. I think I will have to do that!!! -


Fishcake: Read a book about creating plots and stories, very helpful and interesting.
    Chuck23: What book did you read? I am always looking for good books on writing. -


Fishcake: The novel is looking good and exciting!!! Am glad I persisted!


Fishcake: Concerned about my novel! Am at a halfway point and getting bored! HELP! Need inspiration!


Fishcake: The novel is looking good now! Phew!!!! It is like (how I imagine!)expecting a baby. Maybe that can be a short story!!


Fishcake: Am at the stage I dreaded with my novel! I am not liking it as much as I did when I started it!!! Changes in mind!
    R. J. Stewart: All authors are the same. Even when complete, there will always be changes. That's why there are sequels, becaue a work is never truly finished for a writer. -


Fishcake: I am on chapter 12 of my novel!!! Managed to do lots while on holiday!

Fishcake: Can anyone explain how I use a Member Cent Pump? Whenever I try to use any of mine, it only tells me I can buy one. I already have 3 and all I want to do is to use it!!
    redrider6612: You have to buy a base certificate first. Go to your portfolio and choose the story, click "Promote This". Buy a certificate (I prefer the Treasure Chest) and use it. When the box pops up saying you promoted the piece, there will be an option to "Raise It"--click that and you will be able to use your MCPs. -
    Cairylee: I am very grateful for the score you gave me. I am glad that you liked it so well. It really made my day. So best wishes and look forward to conversing with you in the future. Cairy -
    fairy77: You are very talented and are putting much effort into your craft.Well done!beth -


Fishcake: Check out the wonderful graphics by Angelheart. Beautiful and colourful. The one I chose really suited the story I put it with.
    ladybird: I adore Angelhearts artwork. I use it often when story type permits -
    Fishcake: We both have good - no EXCELLENT taste! -
