• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    ...I won. Goddammit, I won! This is my first time winning, so I'm rather excited. I actually... wrote a story longer than seven chapters! What?! I've gotten so far... and I haven't gotten bored or thought "dear god, this is all wrong must stop writing." I've been motivated for a lot of this...

    I'm so close, I can taste it... just got to today's target plus a bit more. I thought I'd finish, but something in real life happened that actually... pertained to the story in a way and I just didn't feel like writing anymore until really late, so I wrote what I can and now I'm just too damn...

    Caught up! And later on today, I'm going to get well ahead of the bare minimum because I'm an overachiever like that... whew. I think I got over my block I've been having too. Finally figured out where to end this Act and how to write the final few segments of it. I think by the time my NaNo's...

    I'm still trying, but I haven't written anything in three days, aaah. I keep getting these horrible migranes everytime I'm going to write or distracted by Youtube. But today, I will keep writing! Good thing I was ahead already.

    Hiikaru. You've done it again. <3 I'm still doing pretty good! Last night, I forced myself to write two segments. 32,000-ish. Doing a wordwar with someone else, I guess that gave me extra motivation. I'm taking a break now though until 12 AM because I'm all caught up. I got one segment behind...

    My story hasn't had a lot of dialogue so far... mostly in short bursts... so I haven't had much problem. (I mean, the first Act IS called Silence... heh.) But the second Act is starting to get really talky. If I do decide to tag my dialogue (since I tend to be a bit in Jessie's camp sometimes)...

    I swear, I want a mini-Hiikaru too. Or some sort of greeting card that I open and it screams YOU'RE DOING AWESOME KEEP GOING WRITE STUFF in a Hiikaru way. I'm the weirdest editor out there. I've been editing for grammar and sentence structure as well, and I actually went after I finished...

    Ah! Got to 18,000-something. Haven't written today any though; that was from yesterday. I really need to, but I'm not letting myself move on with the story until I go back and re-read all of the segments I have so far and then list some important concepts, locations, character bios, etc so that...

    Ah! I need to GET GOING. Thanks, Hiikaru, for the encouragement! I shall GO GO GO. I would've written more last night, but I was just mentally dead for some reason and had to stop in the middle of the segment because it was a really important and vital scene and I can't just write a scene like...

    I got to around 14,000-something last night, but couldn't post because my mind was too tired at that point to do anything coherent or sensical. Also, TCoD wouldn't load for me. But yeah! I'm so happy, this is the furthest I've ever gotten and I STILL don't feel like giving up and like this story...

    Just got to 11,600 on the dot! Wow. This was a really fun segment to write; not realistic and boring like the last one. It got exciting at the end once more, and epic. The main character got crushed by a giant hand of Darkness and then it ended before you could find out what really happened...

    ...Me too, actually. When I read that. Whoa, your story sounds pretty interesting, actually. And you're not as bad as you say! You've got nice description and certainly sound better than my tripe, ahaha. WHOOO I FAIL AT DESCRIPTION TOO DOUBLE HIGH-FIVE! Yeah. I do this like... every single...

    Ha ha, everyone says that. Blaziking, that is... brilliant. Your story seems just awesome already only from that little excerpt. I love that quote, it made me laugh so hard. XD If anyone ever mistakes me for a man, I will be sure to say that. And in other news... I just got 7696 words. Dayum...

    ...I went NUTS today. NUTS. I wrote two more segments and... am now at 4,861. Dude... wow. I think that I got some big epic inspiration. It just... hit me out of nowhere and I couldn't stop writing. The story is getting really good. I might consider actually showing it somewhere... we'll see.

    I've got 1,015 so far! Would've done more last night, but I was dead tired and my head was being horrible. Too bad that stupid website won't... load for me at all. So I can't actually update it. But I'm getting closer! Finished the first segment too! (I always write my stories with "segments"...

    I'm gonna take another crack at this Nanothing! And hopefully I won't drop out by Week 2. My story probably won't be put anywhere in public; I'm writing it for personal reasons. Haven't really got much of a plan for this story, but I'm pretty good at writing on my feet (according to an old...

    I think I might try this again. I've got loads of free time and really have NO excuse other than laziness if I didn't succeed. There's a story I've been wanting to write for years now and have tried to draft up like several times and never have really written other than a few abandoned rough...
