Amy H. replied to Paul Barudin's discussion The not pretty side of trying to get published in the group Writer Nerdfighters!Amy H. replied to Eryn M's discussion Stories(: in the group Writer Nerdfighters!"I always write for myself and others to read. If I managed to FINISH something I'd share it with you. At the moment nothing is finished. T-T"
Amy H. replied to Zoe Sherwhovian's discussion Historical Sci Fi? in the group Writer Nerdfighters!"The idea sounds fun, my concern is the "Short" bit. Generally in short fiction you have little to no space for explanation or development. You also have very little room for multiple scenes (as time travel would mandate at least 2). This…"
Amy H. replied to Kyle Johnson's discussion Looking for Pitch Critique in the group Writer Nerdfighters!"Kyle may I recommend a podcast? Writing excuses is amazing and super helpful. They do a variety of topics from planning, to general writing, to getting over issues, and being publishable. "

5. Re-name George Washington too, unless he is supposed to be the AU equivalent of the US's First President. In general do not borrow important people full names unless you intend the character to…"
Amy H. replied to Kyle Johnson's discussion Looking for Pitch Critique in the group Writer Nerdfighters!"The point of a pitch is to grab your reader into a head lock and have them love you for it. Also it should only HINT at the awesome under parts of the story while laying bare the primary conflict. Pitches also belong under the K.I.S.S.…"
Amy H. replied to Priyanka Gulati's discussion NaNoWriMo 2012 in the group Writer Nerdfighters!"The goal isn't "the perfect draft" its "a draft". Nano explicitly states the goal is to have something written in a month without worrying or being delayed by editing and nitpicking. :) first draftsare often hardest…"
Amy H. replied to Kristi Marie Winters's discussion I need an opinion... in the group Writer Nerdfighters!"It reads really well, in fact it is a great hook. You may want to avoid rambling however. Keep the Author to Reader minimal or you may find it harder to get out.

This room was granderin size than the one before,but grey all the same."
Amy H. replied to Genny Baratta's discussion Finding a suitable title in the group Writer Nerdfighters!"Maybe it will be easier after they are written? I mean I know my names for my chars aren't always the same, and my titles are usually placeholders too until the story is done. Then I can see the whole story and I think names are easier then."
Amy H. replied to David Bayer's discussion Who to vote for in the upcoming election? in the group Political Nerdfighters"I am voting for Obama because most of the stuff he is blamed for (economy) is actually under the control of congress and not the president. We saw a lot of growth after the crash in the bush years when the majority was democrat... all that growth…"

- About Me:
- I'm a international relations nerd.... so um...yeah! When people talk nuclear bombs I'm thinking less of the oh noes, and more of the deterrence practicality. I thought the most interesting thing to happen recently (besides finding nerdfighters) was when the media was let into North Korea and then distracted while the fail missile launch happened elsewhere.
I heard of nerdfighters from my friends at myhogwarts, didn't get it, stumbled upon "crash course world history... eventually back tracked.

Attack of the plot bunnies
I currently have multiple plot bunnies attacking my imagination and distracting me from boring daily life. While normally this is grand, keep in mind that too many plot bunnies to manage means some of the bunnies get neglected and die :( I don't like it when my plot bunnies die. Nor do they it seems as they tend to migrate to other people if I leave them alone too long.
