Anime

A/N: This could show a strong girl final breaking into one of her high school persuers. 

Hey Readers,

Okay so this may seem pointless to some readers but this has been a big help for me. Anime! Yes i'm talking about the cartoon drawing Tv-Shows you find on the Tv, such as: One Piece, Sailor Moon, etc. 

All they may seem pointless to most people but they can help you with writing. 

Anime teaches us how people can move, act and accomplish things in a story line. They show us that a rubber man is possible or how a teenage girl can have the power of the moon. They show us how people show their emotions and that you can't really make some have no feelings at all. Even the toughest of tough people eventually break down and so does your character. At some point they will break and struggle to play the tough character they have portrayed in the story before hand. 

So go and watch Anime and learn the lessons on how to make your character more life like.

Comments and Reviews.

Getting people to comment and review on your work is a hard one.

Some of the problems we occur are: people just say random shit and don't actually read our work, don't receive helpful info, etc. 

So what do we do to get reviews and comments well here are some tips i have for you: 

1) join a website like figment or wattpad where it's in a safe environment where people can't steal your ideas. 

2) Write a forum request asking to do a swap (i read your work and in return you read mine)

3) Ask a family member to proof read your work

4) Send your first to chapters to an editor who will tell you if your ready or not.

5) re-read, re-read, re-read their is always something more you can do to get your readers more interested. 

6) Get out there and ask people. 

You might not make it in the writing world but you might just met some nice people on the way.

Book Clubs Are Not Just Reviewing!

Hey Readers,
Well we all have that little bit of passion about reading but sometimes there is more to a book club then just reviewing and reading books.

Yes, there is more!!

When i joined figment i found daily book clubs that gave you prompts each day for your own work! Also book clubs where they read your short story/novel/poem/etc for free. All you have to do is find a book club that suits you or one you like.

What is in a book club: reading, reviewing, getting ideas, writing your own books, learning you words, expanding your understanding of english, etc.

By just reading a slightly harder book you learn new ways to write and improve your own writing. You can't just write a fabulous book out of no where. So join your local or online book club today!!

Hello Figment!

Have you made the change over? Well i sure have. 

Figment was very welcoming to inkies. They gave us our own private group for previous inkpopers to join, let us keep our reviews, etc. 

Guess what? They even made it easy to find your fellow friends!!

Now i'm not saying figment is as good as inkpop because it's not and it still has a lot of work but it will be. It will probably be even better when it gets it's iphone app, mobile version, getting rid of cut & paste problem and more that they have promised to fix and give. Isn't that exciting!! 

Well if you aren't an ex-inkie (what we call ourselfs now causes there is no inkpop) become a figgie: www.figment.com

Hope to see you all soon.

Inkpop No More

He ye he ye inkpopie is deadie...okay i guess i really need to stop with trying to be cool. 


On the 1st March our dear website inkpop closed down :( many were brought to tears...sobbing in their sadness. To think that this amazing website had brought us to a standard beyond belief and got our work noticed. 


Inkies all over the world are proud to be an inkie. 


Inkpop brought us up. Taught us that are work was worth writing and that if it was super dooper amazing it would be noticed and maybe published. 


However now it shut down, smashed, ka-put and there is nothing we can do about it. 


We've had difficult times such as: lose of badges, new layouts, picks, watchlists, etc, but now it is the worst. It's gone forever. 


In tribute to Inkpop we say one finally "We Love You!" as if we were screaming at one direction as they walked down the red carpet. 

Good luck fellow inkies-G <3
