That, is a very difficult thing to do >.< it's possible, but very frusturating, especially on photobucket...
What site/what-not are you getting the Img code from?

Any general hints on going to semi lit to litterate? I can usually do four paragraphs, but fluff is a key point and as I am doing NaNoWriMo, it would be nice to have help with non fluff kind of stuff :3

there are very few things I would really say are "fluff", especially when you're writing your own story, because it should make sense to you. however, the content should have a point. if you're talking about how this coffee is great and then somehow you end up saying how the red tiles of the coffee shop remind you of the time your character went to the beach...that's probably not necessary, in which case it's just taking up space, and that's what I would say is "fluff'.
however, what's not fluff is stuff such as analyzing the character's emotions and thought processes. that's not fluff at all, that's giving context and insight. and don't be shy about describing surroundings either, because imagery like that isn't fluff either.

good luck with nanowrimo. I'm also doing it this year so I'm in your boat. ^^
the trick with nanowrimo is to just write. don't worry about editing and stuff until after you reach your goal, at which point you can go ahead and fix up places. c:

it should be "an asian to the knee", I think, or something similar. I'd check, but the site is down for me. :C

    I found you both when the site is up. Lotus, did you possibly make a typo when searching for her? I've added both of you as Sparrow55, in case you're wondering. Sorry to bust in ;w;

      hello there! i'm lithe, but feel free to call me whale, cheese, cheep, or cheetah. [yes, it's just a coincidence they all start with "ch". i'm an equestrian. c: i love sherlock, supernatural, doctor who, & so much more. i'm somewhat shy at first, so don't expect me to pm everybody. i love role-playing <3

      this is a temporary signature, so i apologize for the horrid coding. cx i'm hopefully going to be getting a quality one soon!

I'm abandoned. on NaNoWriMo ^^

/hadtointerrupt

As for the whole write until you reach your goal?
Totally failing. They said "tell the inner editor to skedaddle"
And I did and it's not working .-. I'll sit there redrawing and rewording stuff. >_>

Oh well. 312 words so far.

however, i do not actively rp here anymore. i am on AS, under
the username forlorn. if you want to rp, shoot me a pm!

    You can DO it Pie! I wanted to go back and do all this editing junk at first, too. Then I was like, 'screw good writing, I just wanna reach 50 000!'.

    That seemed to work. xD

    I'll add you once the site is up!
