| 8:37 pm | malindalo: | @JohansenNewman I got a mac so I could have scrivener. Yes, it’s true. #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | BenDawe: | RT @debbieohi: @DaphneUn I purposely always end in the middle of a “good bit” in writing so its easier to get back into writing #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | onbeyondwords: | @jeanie_w I’m definitely going to try this… thanks. #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | skodobah: | @srjohannes That’s a great idea! By the chapter. #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | kcclyburn: | @marjorielight Mine too. Last #NaNoWriMo I was going to sleep at four and had to wake up at 8:30. No recommended, like, AT ALL. #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | MillerMosaicLLC: | @JohansenNewman http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.html #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | PattyJMurphy: | RT @EgmontGal @DaphneUn hemingway did that. stopped at a point where he knew what he was going to do next. <Richard Russo, too! #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | heatherwpetty: | I’ll re-read previous pages to get back into the story. And I try not to stop writing at the end of a scene or chapter. #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | stephanieruble: | @skodobah I know! How does everyone keep up? #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | karianneholt: | Anyone find it hard to read fiction while they write? I tend to absorb the tone of what I’m reading. It can muck up my WIP. #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | worldblee: | RT @kcclyburn: Where do people go for critique partners? Twitter? People close to you? #kidlitchat < all of the above + any kids I can get |
| 8:37 pm | gregpincus: | RT @PaulaYoo: @gregpincus #kidlitchat Yes, NaPiBoWriWee was my brainchild. Go here for more details! http://tinyurl.com/yj5oqpw |
| 8:37 pm | debbieohi: | @EgmontGal LOL! #kidlitchatting from the opera! I worship you.  #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | RebeccAgent: | hi all. topic? #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | EKokie: | I would tackle small 1st, too. RT @jamieharrington doing big overhaul edits right now…daunting…did all the little ones 1st #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | dlschubert: | I’m late to the party. What’s the topic? #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | EgmontGal: | I have to go, but @egmontUSA writes with the knowledge and authority of someone who has been in the biz for YEARs. Bye, gang! #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | DDHearn: | @literaticat Interesting that it’s better to take time for good revisions. I thought deadlines so important that I rushed. #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | sarahockler: | Great idea! RT @hipwritermama: warm up: Read most recent chapter out loud to make sure voice is consistent, edit & go forward. #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | stephanieruble: | I think I’m going to try scrivner for #nanowrimo this year. They have a deal and I’ve always wanted to try it. #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | jeanie_w: | @kcclyburn I found a couple of partners in SCBWI. We meet in the Bethesda Barnes and Noble once a month. #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | heidi_stryker: | How often, if ever, have you restarted your writing because you feel like the voice of it is off? #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | marjorielight: | Willing to try any writing exercise that doesn’t involve sweating! #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | literaticat: | @HeidiRKling (Because I got a promotion from ABLit) #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | leewind: | @JillCorcoran PiBoWriWe was Paula’s genius idea – that was 1 new pb draft a day for 7 days! #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | bonnieadamson: | @peg366 I reread–aloud, usually. #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | HeidiRKling: | @literaticat OOOOOOOH AWESOME!!!! Big cyber hugs. Perhaps we’ll celebrate soon over Kirk Burgers. NOM NOM #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | mgbuehrlen: | @karianneholt Um, are you my twin? I can so relate! #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | PattyJMurphy: | @EgmontGal Enjoy the rest of the opera! #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | jamieharrington: | @EKokie but now I am on the bigger edits /scared #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | KateMessner: | Can I just say that I love the fact that @EgmontGal is tweeting from the opera? #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | JohansenNewman: | Thanks so much!! @MillerMosaicLLC http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.html #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | onbeyondwords: | @stephanieruble One of my worst habits is editing before the first draft is finished. Guess it’s my newspaper editor background. #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | crcook: | @DaphneUn that is a great question. Someone gave me that advice, to stop @ good spot. & don’t stop at end of scene or chpt #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | BenDawe: | @dlschubert Writing goals/accountability methods and associated banter #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | debbieohi: | @kcclyburn I found my critique partners on the SCBWI message boards, in the critique group forum. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | peg366: | @bonnieadamson That makes sense. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | crissachappell: | @EKokie Yep. I revise the previous day’s work before starting new. And each chapter gets a word/theme at the top. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | SheviStories: | @PattyJMurphy I do that too. Usually this just means starting the next chapter. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | bonnieadamson: | @paulayoo NaPiBoWriWee was terrific! Got at least fiveiable ideas out of seven . . . #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | MillerMosaicLLC: | @stephanieruble tweetchat.com and I sow down the refresh speed #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | srjohannes: | @KateMessner i know right? how cool is she? what opera is it? #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | MarieDevers: | how i get ready to write: set up laptop, take dog for walk, grab water, sit down and start writing. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | literaticat: | @DDHearn Well what’s the point of making deadline if the finished project isn’t steller? I’d rather have slow & great, myself. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | jeanie_w: | @EgmontGal Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by! #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | jessicaleeander: | @EgmontGal Have a fun rest of the evening #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | mgbuehrlen: | Hmm… I got a trial of Scrivener w/o signing up for NaNo. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | EKokie: | @karianneholt I actually have to read other stuff when writing, but something very different than what I’m working on. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | RebeccAgent: | hmmm not sure what I can contribute to this one #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | HeidiRKling: | @literaticat I found it! I’m so happy for you–you totally deserve it. Congrats!! #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | laurielyoung: | @karianneholt I can only read the style of book I am writing, or else I get confused. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | hipwritermama: | @malindalo @JohansenNewman Scrivener is awesome. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | jlpowers: | I have to go–in the middle of grading student essays–but glad I was able to drop in for half an hour. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | gregpincus: | @KateMessner I’m with you. We’ve had tweeters from many places, but I think that’s the first aria-chatter. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | debbieduncan: | I’ll say it too! RT @KateMessner: Can I just say that I love the fact that @EgmontGal is tweeting from the opera? #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | bonnieadamson: | RT @KateMessner: Can I just say that I love the fact that @EgmontGal is tweeting from the opera?<–This is a milestone. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | worldblee: | For critiques, it’s great to know teachers. Just got a bright HS kid as a test reader that way today. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | jamieharrington: | @crissachappell See, I don’t do that… I don’t name chapters… I wonder if I should #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | mgbuehrlen: | Okay, back hurts waaaaay too much. Gotta go. Until next week! #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | stephanieruble: | @onbeyondwords Sometimes editing as I go helps, but other times it makes me not finish. #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | debbieohi: | @stephanieruble That’s exactly why I’m doing #nanowrimo this year. Experimenting with a new writing method. #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | VictoriaMixon: | I just wrote a post this morning for 16 year old writer Emilee of http://penultimatepage.com/ for NaNoWriMo. #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | emilytastic: | @karianneholt I read so much that I think the variety keeps me from doing that. I’ve heard other people say it affects them tho. #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | DDHearn: | @worldblee Me without a deadline….wonder who’s on twitter or facebook. Oh, I think I’ll poke my FB pet or hatch an egg. #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | crcook: | @kcclyburn I joined a local writers group, also attend SCBWI events to find partners #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | literaticat: | @HeidiRKling Aw thanks, hugs HEIDI. #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | PattyJMurphy: | @mgbuehrlen @EgmontUSA Is it Barber of Seville? #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | dlschubert: | @BenDawe Thanks! I write every day, even weekends. Try for 1-3K at a time. I started latest YA novel 9/20 & am up to almost 50K #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | stephanieruble: | @RebeccAgent We started talking about deadlines from agents/editors or self #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | VictoriaMixon: | She is looking for guest posters. #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | crissachappell: | @onbeyondwords I think that’s a good habit! (from one ex-journalist to another)  #kidlitchat |
| 8:41 pm | sarahockler: | @debbieohi Are you trying to method you blogged about recently… oh no I can’t remember what it’s called!! Argh! #kidlitchat |
| 8:41 pm | kcclyburn: | The thing I love about #NaNoWriMo is that (most of the time) it forces you not to diddle-daddle and get to the point. #kidlitchat |
| 8:41 pm | debbieohi: | @DDHearn But it turns Illustration Friday into more of a portfolio showcase than fun community challenge.  #kidlitchat |
| 8:41 pm | dlschubert: | @literaticat Congrats, again! So happy for you. #kidlitchat |
| 8:41 pm | JohansenNewman: | Thanks much! I’m on it! @hipwritermama “Scrivener is awesome.” #kidlitchat |
| 8:41 pm | emilytastic: | I usually do NaPoWriMo, in April. I’m great at it. I cannot finish NaNoWriMo, though. It’s more than I can handle. #kidlitchat |
| 8:41 pm | EKokie: | …and bathroom line chatter. RT @gregpincus: @KateMessner We’ve had tweeters from many places, but…the first aria-chatter. #kidlitchat |
| 8:41 pm | leewind: | @jamieharrington what’s the character collage technique? #kidlitchat |
| 8:41 pm | sarahockler: | @debbieohi the one where you do little bullets/blurbs and fill them in later #kidlitchat |
| 8:41 pm | jamieharrington: | @Booklorn I emailed the programmer, and he told me that next year we get Scrivener for PC! #kidlitchat |
| 8:41 pm | happybluejess: | Hi everyone. My crit group meets twice a month. Feel like I have to get things done for them. Helps with motivation. #kidlitchat |
| 8:41 pm | jamieharrington: | @jmSapereAude that sounds awesome, but I am the busiest halloweener EVER lol #kidlitchat |
| 8:42 pm | RebeccAgent: | I only give a deadline if it’s needed to motivate a client. They know they are really self-imposed deadlines without consequence #kidlitchat |
| 8:42 pm | HeidiRKling: | @literaticat Now I’m ESPECIALLY bummed we missed that coffee. Well, I’ll see you Friday right? I may be unrecognizable however. #kidlitchat |
| 8:42 pm | stephanieruble: | @DDHearn Me too. No deadline = lots of internet time = no work done! #kidlitchat |
| 8:42 pm | DaphneUn: | @jamieharrington But think of time spent trying to come up w/ a good book title, & multiply that by 20 chaps! Numbering is fine. #kidlitchat |
| 8:42 pm | RebeccAgent: | unlike deadlines from publishers on contracted work #kidlitchat |
| 8:42 pm | debbieohi: | @sarahockler Yes, I’m using the phase drafting method to do prep for #nanowrimo. LOVE it. #kidlitchat |
| 8:42 pm | srjohannes: | i was going to do Nanowrimo but i think i will have to do some revisions so I think Ill have to bow out #kidlitchat |
| 8:42 pm | BenDawe: | @dlschubert Cool. What’s your secret to that level of output? Do you have servants? #kidlitchat |
| 8:42 pm | JennBailey: | @debbieohi Scrivener? I’ve heard such good things. Do you really love it? #kidlitchat |
| 8:42 pm | DDHearn: | @debbieohi Is there a website for watercolor wednesdays and Illustration Fridays? Would like to check them out. #kidlitchat |
| 8:42 pm | MillerMosaicLLC: | @dlschubert How many words do you think your YA novel is going to have? #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | PattyJMurphy: | Do tell:) RT @BenDawe: @dlschubert Cool. Whats your secret to that level of output? Do you have servants? #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | sarahockler: | @debbieohi PHASE drafting – that’s it.  I read your post on it & it sounded promising. #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | srjohannes: | @HeidiRKling are you getting a hair do change? #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | bonnieadamson: | @debbieohi @DDHearn @stephanieruble @jeanie_w We should start a no-cheating, start from scratch challenge–once a month? #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | jamieharrington: | @DaphneUn YES this is why I don’t name chapters. Too much time spent on something so small. #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | EKokie: | @RebeccAgent And how often do you see writers rushing revisions? new writers > seasoned writers? #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | dlschubert: | @BenDawe I’m actually a robot. Shhh! Don’t tell anyone. #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | emilytastic: | @RebeccAgent That’s interesting! I’m definitely the type that works better w/ deadline – my crit partner sets them for me. #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | laurielyoung: | I am trying that too-so far so good! RT @debbieohi: @sarahockler Yes, Im using the phase drafting method #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | sarahockler: | @JennBailey Scrivener is *awesome*! I love it so much. Use it all the time now. #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | HeidiRKling: | @srjohannes You could call it that. #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | debbieohi: | @sarahockler For me, #NaNoWriMo -is- about quality more than quantity. That’s why I’m classified as a NaNoWriMo Rebel. #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | marybrebner: | RT @BenDawe: @dlschubert Cool. Whats your secret to that level of output? Do you have servants? ~Send some my way! lol #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | kcclyburn: | Man, all you Scrivener users are making me want a Macbook again… #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | jamieharrington: | @Booklorn ha who knows, but he was super nice about it! #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | DDHearn: | @EgmontGal Which opera and where. I used to go often when I lived near Lincoln Center in Manhattan. #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | emilytastic: | @JennBailey I’m not entirely sure I would have finished my most recent work without Scrivener. It is heavenly. #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | stephanieruble: | @DDHearn http://www.watercolorwednesdays.blogspot.com/ and http://www.illustrationfriday.com #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | debbieohi: | @bonnieadamson @DDHearn @stephanieruble @jeanie_w OH!!!! I would love that!! (a “from scratch” challenge) #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | dlschubert: | @MillerMosaicLLC Good question. I’m targeting 70-75k. #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | CynthiaCWillis: | Am I the only one that gets panicky when facing a deadline? #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | jamieharrington: | The idea of NaNoWriMo kind of gives me a stomach ache… #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | EgmontUSA: | @dlschubert Aha! All is revealed. #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | RebeccAgent: | well if it’s a deadline I agree on with a client, all the client needs to say is I need more time #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | jeanie_w: | @debbieohi @DDHearn @stephanieruble @BonnieAdamson Oooh, sounds like a fun idea #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | onbeyondwords: | @crissachappell – re editing – Everyone’s always saying – just get it all down and then go back and revise. It’s a little OCD! #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | stephanieruble: | @bonnieadamson great idea for the monthly challenge – I’m in! #kidlitchat |
| 8:44 pm | RebeccAgent: | because I don’t want to see anything rushed for my sake #kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | bonnieadamson: | @debbieohi No #NaNoWriMo for me either–but NaPiBoWriWee was great–am signed up for Tara’s thing, too.#kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | sarahockler: | @debbieohi lol I’m like that, too. Which is why the 2 other times I tried Nano, I didn’t finish. Hoping this year is my year! #kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | RebeccAgent: | the real deadline for me is always really when you think it’s ready #kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | kcclyburn: | @jamieharrington It’s easier than it sounds. Mostly. If you don’t think about it. #kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | DDHearn: | @MillerMosaicLLC What exactly is Scrivener? #kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | HeidiRKling: | @jamieharrington Me too. I know I’d quit after one day. NaNo #kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | ktubb: | Scrivener gets such great reviews – will check it out for sure! Anyone out there find it just isn’t for you? And why? #kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | debbieohi: | @laurielyoung I love phase drafting so far. Hopefully it’ll minimize wasted writing time. #kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | EngridE1: | RT @kcclyburn: Man, all you Scrivener users are making me want a Macbook again… <- I want one :-0 #kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | jennymckmoss: | @CynthiaCWillis I get panicky, but work better (unfortunately) #kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | jessicaleeander: | @emilytastic Do you think the critique deadlines help or hinder your progress? #kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | KateMessner: | My current revision involves moving quite a few scenes around & adding scenes- Scrivener is great for that. #kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | jamieharrington: | @EgmontUSA so what’s more interesting the chat or the opera? #kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | RebeccAgent: | deadlines for the publisher? I’ve definitely seen cramming in those instances #kidlitchat |
| 8:45 pm | leewind: | Thanks all for the lightning round of #kidlitchat! Gotta go read a good night story. |
| 8:45 pm | debbieohi: | @bonnieadamson What’s NaPiBoWriWee? #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | crissachappell: | @onbeyondwords um….I have OCD. It’s a good thing! (guess that’s why I obsessively edit) #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | emilytastic: | @onbeyondwords I agree! I self-edit some when writing, but, esp. on days when I feel blocked, I force myself to just get it out #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | onbeyondwords: | @happybluejess I agree – when I know my critique group is going to meets it feels like a real deadline. #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | bonnieadamson: | RT @jeanie_w: @debbieohi @DDHearn @stephanieruble Let’s work on that–find a place to post, etc. #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | jamieharrington: | @kcclyburn it’s just such a bad month November=Thanksgiving… dealing with inlaws, etc. #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | JohansenNewman: | Sounds like a great idea! @stephanieruble @bonnieadamson great idea for the monthly challenge – I’m in! #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | PattyJMurphy: | @RebeccAgent: A bit before the deadline, yes? #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | yachicka: | Looking forward to the NaNoWriMo insanity to start next week #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | CynthiaCWillis: | @jennymckmoss I think I might envy you for panic motivation. #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | jemills1: | Bummer, must bow out. Thanks for great chat! #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | cherylherbsman: | i just downloaded the trial version of scrivener. haven’t quite figured it out yet. any tips? #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | MillerMosaicLLC: | @DDHearn No idea. You’re better off asking someone who sues it. Sorry. #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | EgmontUSA: | @jamieharrington I’m not at the opera, but maybe @EgmontGal will let us know tomorrow. #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | DDHearn: | @thereadingzone What is write or die? #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | emilytastic: | @jessicaleeander HELP! For sure – if I didn’t have deadlines I would feel like I was just floating out there. #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | sarahockler: | @KateMessner Yes, I particularly love the index card / cork board feature in Scrivener for rearranging scenes. #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | jamieharrington: | @HeidiRKling yeah… I think I could wrote 50k in a month, but I would get scared doing it in a big group like that #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | malindalo: | @ktubb Honestly at first Scrivener seemed kinda so-so, but the more I use it, the more I get it. It makes sense. #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | laurielyoung: | It has really helped me make a better outline. RT @debbieohi: @laurielyoung I love phase drafting so far. #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | crcook: | @jamieharrington Nanowrimo freed me to write crappy first drafts when you find gold in the garbage, that’s heavenly #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | HeidiRKling: | @KateMessner I need to get that me thinks. @sarahockler #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | debbieohi: | @KateMessner I’m also using Scrivener to write the script for my graphic novel. Love the built-in scripting features. #kidlitchat |
| 8:46 pm | dlschubert: | Love it! RT @RebeccAgent the real deadline for me is always really when you think it’s ready #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | kcclyburn: | @jamieharrington I suppose the less obligations you have, the easier it becomes to write. #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | crissachappell: | @KateMessner How does the software help? Why not just save different files for different scenes? #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | jennymckmoss: | @CynthiaCWillis lol – but I don’t *like* the feeling #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | debbieohi: | @sarahockler I’m rooting for you, Sara! #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | stephanieruble: | @RebeccAgent That sounds like a great way to get the best work from your clients. #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | bonnieadamson: | @debbieohi That was Paula Yoo’s challenge last spring: a pb a day for seven days. Intense! #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | debbieduncan: | @KateMessner I need an in-person tutorial for Scrivener! Not time to learn before #NaNoWriMo. #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | sarahockler: | @debbieoh Do you have the phase drafting link handy to post? #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | cherylherbsman: | @malindalo i need a scrivener tutor #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | tehawesomersace: | @jamieharrington That’s why NaNo rocks. NaNo=excuse to ignore in laws! #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | KateMessner: | @sarahockler And you can even color-code the index cards. *swoons* #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | RebeccAgent: | I’ve seen plenty of books delivered to publishers after deadline #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | peg366: | I’m in 3 critique groups, 2 fiction pbs, one nonfiction. One groups does two sub, two rewrites a month. Keeps me accountable. #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | kcclyburn: | @crissachappell That gets long and messy. I’ve done it before. Wasn’t productive. #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | BenDawe: | @laurielyoung Can you link to a ref on “phase drafting?” SOunds cool. #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | DaphneUn: | @RebeccAgent And I’d rather an author take more time than send a later more polished version after I’ve already started reading. #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | jamieharrington: | @Booklorn because it’s tanksgiving, etc. #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | JennBailey: | @debbieohi Can you just use screenwriting format for graphic novels? It was a questioned bandied at SCBWI-IA Nobody knew format #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | marybrebner: | @yachicka Me, too. It’s my first one but I’m looking forward to trying my hand at 50k in 30 days! #kidlitchat |
| 8:47 pm | sarahockler: | @debbieduncan Just do the built-in tutorial on Scrivener – it’s so easy and fast! #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | JohansenNewman: | @sarahockler Do you think Scrivener helps a writer with plotting problems? (me) #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | heidi_stryker: | What’s an alternative to Scrivener for Windows? #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | crcook: | #kidlitchat must prep kiddos for bed. This has been fun! happy chatting! |
| 8:48 pm | debbieohi: | @BonnieAdamson OH! I would love to try that. Is she doing it again next spring? #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | RebeccAgent: | esp. from illustrators who are rarely given enough time from accepted sketches to delivery of final art to paint #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | emilytastic: | @debbieduncan I found the tuturial that came with the program v. thorough and helpful. #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | jamieharrington: | @EgmontUSA lol I always get you egmont folks mixed up! #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | EKokie: | Just switched to Mac in September…need to get scrivener and try it out. #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | jessicaleeander: | @emilytastic They help me too, and it helps to feel a sense of accomplishment #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | debbieohi: | @BonnieAdamson Um, wait. Does that include text AND illos? #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | amybrecountwhit: | I always write notes to myself the day before, so those are kind of my warm up, and I can take right off. #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | jamieharrington: | @tehawesomersace I guess that’s kind of true! #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | DDHearn: | @peg366 I don’t do warm up for PB writing, other than thinking about it. First draft is warm up, in my opinion. #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | bonnieadamson: | @JohansenNewman Cool! We need to find a place to post illos . . . hmm. #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | laurielyoung: | Not necessarily. Procrastination, inertia, ennui, take their toll. @kcclyburn: @jamieharrington #kidlitchat |
| 8:48 pm | PattyJMurphy: | @debbieohi: Is Scrivener available online or in book format ??? #kidlitchat |
| 8:49 pm | MRDunn12: | It is going to be interesting for me to do #nanowrimo this year (1st timer). I am seriously determined (scary word count) #kidlitchat |
| 8:49 pm | crissachappell: | @kcclyburn Really? That’s how I do it. Each scene gets a file, a name, etc. #kidlitchat |
| 8:49 pm | debbieohi: | @JennBailey I researched a ton of graphic novel scripts and adapting regular script format to that. #kidlitchat |
| 8:49 pm | KateMessner: | @crissachappell I think Scrivener provides a more global view & it’s easy to switch back and forth btwn scenes. #kidlitchat |
| 8:49 pm | gregpincus: | @heidi_stryker I think the alternative is to buy a Mac #kidlitchat |
| 8:49 pm | HeidiRKling: | Thanks for the fun chat! The punk-pink princess needs dinner/bath/bed. So long! #kidlitchat |
| 8:49 pm | amybrecountwhit: | Oops, I think I was supposed to say hi first. Hi! #kidlitchat |
| 8:49 pm | HeatherMcCorkle: | #kidlitchat Critique deadlines definately help my progress but I have to be careful and take the time to go over what I edited! |
| 8:49 pm | bonnieadamson: | @debbieohi NaPiBoWriWee was text–but I sneaked in a couple of wordless ideas: storyboard thumbnails. #kidlitchat |
| 8:49 pm | debbieduncan: | @sarahockler @emilytastic I tried that already! Got stuck, gave up (for now). Miss tutorial classes I used to have at work. #kidlitchat |
| 8:50 pm | jessicaleeander: | On the topic of deadlines, I’m going to call it an early night to meet a self-imposed deadline. Goodnight! #kidlitchat |

| 8:50 pm | CynthiaCWillis: | Sneaking out early tonight. . . Happy continued chatting, kidlits! #kidlitchat |
| 8:50 pm | sarahockler: | @JohansenNewman Hmmm I’m not sure if Scrivener helps w plot problems. It helps u see everything easily, lay it out, rearrange #kidlitchat |
| 8:50 pm | emilytastic: | @KateMessner Me too! I switch around between what parts I’m writing, and Scrivener made it way easier to do it. #kidlitchat |
| 8:50 pm | ktubb: | @HeidiRKling Night, Heidi! #kidlitchat |

| 8:50 pm | KateMessner: | Photo of Scrivener’s corkboard feature on my blog about revision: http://kmessner.livejournal.com/126065.html #kidlitchat |
| 8:50 pm | JennBailey: | @debbieohi I have looked at a bunch but there didn’t seem to be a “standard” format for submission, esp. if not an illustrator. #kidlitchat |
| 8:50 pm | jennymckmoss: | A smidgen off-topic: Can you get (:0) affordable short-term housing in NYC? For 1-3 mths? Would this help me revise faster? #kidlitchat |
| 8:50 pm | emilytastic: | @jessicaleeander Nite! See you soon! #kidlitchat |

| 8:50 pm | jamieharrington: | @ShakespeareF it’s just where you make a collage for each character before you get started so you get to know them better #kidlitchat |
| 8:50 pm | stephanieruble: | RT @bonnieadamson @jeanie_w: @debbieohi @DDHearn @JohansenNewman Let’s work on that–find a place to post, etc. Sounds good! #kidlitchat |
| 8:50 pm | kcclyburn: | @crissachappell It takes me forever, and I skip around too much. But that’s just me. #kidlitchat |
| 8:50 pm | debbieohi: | @BonnieAdamson I -so- hope she does it again next year! Would love to try this. #kidlitchat |
| 8:50 pm | sarahockler: | Scrivener has a 30 day free trial, so u could always try it just for Nano. #kidlitchat |
| 8:51 pm | bonnieadamson: | @EngridE1 Really? There’s so much I don’t know about FB! #kidlitchat |

| 8:51 pm | lioncaller: | @gregpincus Starving writers can’t afford Macs. #kidlitchat |
| 8:51 pm | JohansenNewman: | @sarahockler Maybe seeing it that way will help. Something has to! #kidlitchat |
| 8:51 pm | crissachappell: | @kcclyburn Ah! Must be my obsessive brain again. Everybody has their own method/madness. It’s all about what works for you. #kidlitchat |
| 8:51 pm | tehawesomersace: | For PC users, Page Four is supposed to be the alternative to scrivener. #kidlitchat |
| 8:51 pm | PattyJMurphy: | RT @RebeccAgent:…all the client needs to say is I need more time…<–Before the deadline, yes? #kidlitchat |
| 8:51 pm | DaphneUn: | @jennymckmoss Unless you’re coming form somewhere even MORE exciting than NYC, I don’t see how living in NYC would help focus. #kidlitchat |
| 8:52 pm | sarahockler: | I found the phase drafting link @debbieohi tweeted a while back – http://bit.ly/NAczn #kidlitchat |
| 8:52 pm | onbeyondwords: | @happybluejess exactly – it’s great if you have real deadlines and don’t just have to create them – but it’s about discipline. #kidlitchat |
| 8:52 pm | emilytastic: | How long do you take on revision? I can usually revise a couple chapters a day (though I power-revised this week to get er done) #kidlitchat |
| 8:52 pm | heidi_stryker: | @carriebp I downloaded it once and was so confused by it! #kidlitchat |
| 8:52 pm | debbieduncan: | @KateMessner Your Scrivener cork board is so pretty, I want to make my own. #kidlitchat |
| 8:52 pm | JohansenNewman: | @lioncaller Macs are coming down in price…#kidlitchat |
| 8:52 pm | jamieharrington: | @Booklorn ha that’s awesome! #kidlitchat |
| 8:52 pm | yachicka: | Oooo looking at the 30-day free trial for Scrivener – me likey! #kidlitchat |
| 8:52 pm | debbieohi: | @JennBailey No, there’s no one std but the basic principle’s the same. Good ref: “Panel One: Comic Book Scripts By Top Writers” #kidlitchat |
| 8:52 pm | kcclyburn: | From a friend: RT @khattab: @kcclyburn is it okay to use #nanowrimo to write a memoir ya think? #kidlitchat |
| 8:52 pm | JohansenNewman: | @stephanieruble Keep me in the loop. Sounds like fun! #kidlitchat |
| 8:52 pm | DDHearn: | @debbieohi I agree, but I do think illustrators are trying to get their work seen often in many places. #kidlitchat |
| 8:52 pm | sarahockler: | @JohansenNewman possibly! u can also label scenes w keywords, characters, etc. so you can view where they appear, overuse etc. #kidlitchat |
| 8:53 pm | RebeccAgent: | a mac is worth it whatever it may be. #kidlitchat |
| 8:53 pm | jennymckmoss: | @DaphneUn only way for me to tie into topic – but srsly – am interested in possible short-term relocation #kidlitchat |

| 8:53 pm | bonnieadamson: | @debbieohi And, yes–I think that was the idea: NaPiBoWriWee a yearly event. We must ask! #kidlitchat |
| 8:53 pm | onbeyondwords: | @sarahockler – I’d forgotten about the Scrivener free trial – thanks. I might try that. #kidlitchat |
| 8:53 pm | ktubb: | @emilytastic Re: time on revision: depends on the hot mess in which I’m working. some stories take FOR-EVER to revise #kidlitchat |
| 8:53 pm | sandyalonzo: | Has anyone tried Page Four, mentioned here as a pc alternative for Scrivener? #kidlitchat |
| 8:53 pm | debbieohi: | @JennBailey Another good ref: “Writers On Comics Scriptwriting” (pts 1 & 2) #kidlitchat |
| 8:53 pm | bonnieadamson: | @paulayoo Are you going to do NaPiBoWriWee again next year? #kidlitchat |
| 8:53 pm | TaraLazar: | @peg366 Warm up is a lot of thinking once I get a concept worth pursuing. But butt-in-chair is the only way to get it to work. #kidlitchat |
| 8:53 pm | emilytastic: | @sarahockler I need to figure out how to track words in Scrivener. I want to watch my curseword count! #kidlitchat |

| 9:07 pm | gregpincus: | @JohansenNewman The transcripts are here: http://bit.ly/10ndtk #kidlitchat |
| 9:07 pm | bonnieadamson: | Wow. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m all fired up: want to go DRAW something, WRITE something! #kidlitchat |
| 9:07 pm | EgmontUSA: | @JohansenNewman @gregpincus will post them in the coming days. He’s a very speedy dude. #kidlitchat |
| 9:07 pm | PaulaYoo: | RT @BonnieAdamson the challenge is prize enough, Paula! #kidlitchat My dream Bonnie is for published success stories from NaPiBoWriWee! |
| 9:07 pm | arthurslade: | Missed another #kidlitchat ! Next week! Same kidlitchat time. Same kidlitchat channel. |
| 9:08 pm | marjorielight: | Scrivener trial: http://bit.ly/2oygq1 for #NaNoWriMo writers = 50% discount #kidlitchat I’m downloading, how ’bout you? |
| 9:08 pm | onbeyondwords: | @DDHearn @stephanieruble – I’m in if we can put together an illustrator/writer chat. #kidlitchat |
| 9:08 pm | emilytastic: | @PaulaYoo Re: success stories: It will happen! It’s only a matter of time, right? #kidlitchat |
| 9:08 pm | jimhill: | @PaulaYoo Is there a pronunciation guide for the acronym NaPiBoWriWee? #kidlitchat |
| 9:08 pm | stephanieruble: | @DDHearn We could do a chat for picture book writing and illustrating. We could always ask people not here tonight to join in. #kidlitchat |
| 9:08 pm | JohansenNewman: | Thanks much! RT@gregpincus The transcripts are here: http://bit.ly/10ndtk #kidlitchat |
| 9:09 pm | RebeccAgent: | how would the author/illus chat differ from kidlitchat? #kidlitchat |
| 9:09 pm | bonnieadamson: | @PaulaYoo You’ll be the first to know of any success stories!! Well, maybe the second. #kidlitchat |
| 9:09 pm | dlschubert: | @gregpincus @BonnieAdamson Thanks again – you guys really rock. #kidlitchat |
| 9:09 pm | DDHearn: | @stephanieruble Yes, I would try to do it in color. If I can do it at all. Like I said, I’ve had trouble with motivation. #kidlitchat |
| 9:09 pm | fullofstars: | What a great #kidlitchat tonight! It always makes me look forward to Tuesday night. |
| 9:09 pm | PaulaYoo: | RT @emilytastic Re: success stories: It will happen! It’s only a matter of time, right? #kidlitchat Yes, time & perseverance & hard work! |
| 9:09 pm | stephanieruble: | @onbeyondwords I’d like to do an author/illustrator chat, at least once. #kidlitchat |
| 9:09 pm | joiedelire: | @JohansenNewman Did you see the link for the transcript? #kidlitchat |
| 9:09 pm | JohansenNewman: | Me , too! RT@bonnieadamson Wow. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m all fired up: want to go DRAW something, WRITE something! #kidlitchat |
| 9:10 pm | jimhill: | @bonnieadamson I know I want to. Re-thumbnailed my PB last week and need to keep at it. It gets better each time I edit. #kidlitchat |
| 9:10 pm | DDHearn: | @RebeccAgent I think there are different topics involving picture books that might not interest YA and MG writers. #kidlitchat |
| 9:10 pm | stephanieruble: | @RebeccAgent difference would be talking about specifics to those who write and illustrate. Usually the talk is one or other. #kidlitchat |
| 9:10 pm | jeanie_w: | RT @BonnieAdamson: Wow. I’m all fired up: want to go DRAW something WRITE something <– Me too! this has been a very effective #kidlitchat |
| 9:11 pm | PaulaYoo: | RT via @jimhill Pronunciation guide for NaPiBoWriWee? #kidlitchat LOL! I say Nap-ee-boe-wree-wee but others say Nap-ee-boe-wrie-wee! |
| 9:11 pm | RebeccAgent: | well if welcome I’d definitely like to join in the author/illustrator chat. Keep me posted #kidlitchat |
| 9:11 pm | DDHearn: | @stephanieruble Another idea could be to have the topic of #kidlitchat be more PB oriented once in awhile. #kidlitchat |
| 9:11 pm | JohansenNewman: | Maybe more about technical details, dummies, medium? @RebeccAgent how would the author/illus chat differ from kidlitchat? #kidlitchat |
| 9:11 pm | auntieflamingo: | @PaulaYoo When do you plan to follow up with last year’s participants? (I know you’ve been busy) #kidlitchat |
| 9:11 pm | bonnieadamson: | @DDHearn NaPiBoWriWee is Paula Yoo’s pb challenge in May: http://bit.ly/s1ua9 #kidlitchat |
| 9:12 pm | stephanieruble: | RT via @jimhill Pronunciation guide for NaPiBoWriWee? I just say, that cool thing that @PaulaYoo started #kidlitchat |
| 9:12 pm | PaulaYoo: | #kidlitchat Gotta run to dinner, tnx everyone, can’t wait to read full transcript! email paula at paulayoo dot com with any questions. |

| 9:13 pm | DDHearn: | @bonnieadamson Thanks for explaining NaPiBo….. for me. Why is it such a crazy name, though? #kidlitchat |
| 9:13 pm | jimhill: | @PaulaYoo That’ll be a fun convo with my wife. “Hon, got to go Nap-ee-boe-wree-wee” She’ll think I’ve had a stroke & dial 911. #kidlitchat |
| 9:13 pm | JohansenNewman: | Great to have ur input! @RebeccAgent well if welcome I’d definitely like to join in the author/illustrator chat. Keep me posted #kidlitchat |
