March 22, 2018 at 8:42 pm #68236@rochellaine I’m going to get to writing now. Are you up for word war?

March 22, 2018 at 8:46 pm #68237@seekjustice Hey, I was just thinking of something. I think it’s a really good idea, but I’m not sure if you’ll agree. 🙂
Why don’t you keep the origami story at the length it is, entering it in the other competition, and then tweak a section of Stars into a short story to enter in the more restricted length competition? Since it’s not published yet, it should still fit in the guidelines, right? I was thinking something like the “love scene” chapter between Quillon and Sapphire, since that has a lot of good elements of a short story, and (I just reread it to check) has enough back story in it to still make sense without the rest of the book, since she tells him her whole backstory in that one. It’s got the sweetness, the laughs, and the philosophy that it needs to make a good short story, in my opinion.
What do you think? 😀
@dragon-snapper Um, okay, though you’ll crush me worse than you did Sam! ;D"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
March 22, 2018 at 8:51 pm #68238Actually, that is a brilliant plan. I don’t want to “cut off the toes and hair” of Origami Cranes just to squeeze it into the comp, but I possibly could do that. I’ll have a go a little bit later (I’ve got to go into town today, but hopefully I’ll be around at my usual time). Thanks for the idea!

March 22, 2018 at 8:54 pm #68239@rochellaine And I posted and for some reason it didn’t show up…
XD But the point is to get more writing than usual done. Does 35 minutes sound good?

March 22, 2018 at 9:00 pm #68241@dragon-snapper I think you meant to go until 9:30, but I took too long to respond for it to be 35 minutes anymore. Want to just cut it off at that time? I’ll start writing after I post this.
@seekjustice *whispers* Is there a possibility of Carousel appearing anywhere in that trip to town? 😀 See you later!"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
March 22, 2018 at 9:13 pm #68242Very possibly. *raises eyebrows mysteriously* *vanishes*

March 22, 2018 at 9:16 pm #68243@seekjustice Yep, 9:30. 😀

March 22, 2018 at 9:33 pm #68244@dragon-snapper Times up now, and I am amazed at myself. I actually wrote 969 words! That’s nearly twice as much as I did yesterday against Sam! 😀 I guess I got to a really easy part to write.
How much did you get done?

March 22, 2018 at 9:33 pm #68245@rochellaine Yep, 9:30. 😀

March 22, 2018 at 9:35 pm #68246Why did that repost??? Weird. Anyway, that’s awesome! 😀 And the more we do these, the faster they get! I wrote 1372. 🙂 I had a slower scene today.
See you around!

March 22, 2018 at 9:39 pm #68247@dragon-snapper I guess it reposted because you tagged Seekjustice the first time? I thought you just realized that and did it again tagging me?
Or are you talking about something else?
Thanks for doing this with me! It’s going to make my writing go a lot faster. You’re leaving now? See you later!

March 22, 2018 at 10:07 pm #68258@dragon-snapper You live in Virgina?! Have you gone to Chincoteague???
I’m not writing right now…IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
March 22, 2018 at 10:37 pm #68263@catwing @rochellaine @seekjustice @jenwriter17 @aislinn-mollisong @ariella-newheart @dragon-snapper @kaya-young @anyone…
I’m writing!
*resumes attempt to get my characters to do something…*
You can pronounce it however you want.
March 22, 2018 at 10:47 pm #68267@dekreel I’ll probably be on in about a half an hour. Right now I’m going to tell my sister the entire plot of my western and get her advice ( @kaya-young don’t you wish you were her? 😀 ) and then we’ll do Family Worship, then I’ll be back. You’ll still be here then, won’t you?
