Adry_Grace replied to the topic Greetings! in the forum Start HERE 8 years, 7 months ago
@Vanna Hear hear! Louisa May Alcott in general needs more recognition, but Little Men specifically. That book makes me cry every. single. time. And yes, that was the one… strange is one word for it. I was rather disgusted by the whole thing.
I love calligraphy. My dad got me “calligraphy pens” for Christmas last year, so I use those after I…[Read more]

@Vanna Yay! Another Little Men fan! I have not read that short story but I will have to look into it.
I think I may have seen it as well… If we saw the same one then: no it was not the greatest adaption… It sticks to the plot but its different somehow. The characters got all messed up in the adaption for one thing. And there were other…[Read more]

Hello @vanna very nice to meet you. *shakes hand eagerly* Sounds like we have a lot in common! I love “A Rose in Bloom.” Louisa May Alcott is one of my favorite authors. I have to ask if you’ve ever read Little Men by the same author? Also since you listed Peter Pan I am going to have to ask you if you have heard of the Starcatchers series? It’s a…[Read more]

@daeus Okay, I should probably quit now anyway. 572 words and about 3/4 of a scene done.

ha @daeus I guess that means I better actually get some words out in a minute. We’ll see how this goes.

@daeus I should be able to write for maybe half an hour.

Thank you so much, that means a lot to me!

Why are the princesses dancing? What are they really doing and what are they trying to hide in their nightly disappearances?
Who wants to find out about where they go, and why?

@kate-flournoy As of now the time period is kind of… nonexistent isn’t the word I’m looking for. Irrelevant, maybe? I would like to give the impression of it happening in that time period and at the same time have a few conveniences for the sake of the story. I’m pretty sure there’s a term for it… Fictional liberties, methinks. Anyway, I had…[Read more]

@hope I’ll be completely honest and say that I was pretty proud of the names when I came up with them… How are you saying them? I say it ee-on I can see what you and @ingridrd mean about Eon’s emotions needing to run deeper. I have a hard time displaying emotions in my writing. Always have. But I shall work on that.
I also agree about Millenia.…[Read more] -

Hello! I was wondering if you could give me some help.
So I suppose I should give some background. This is from my currently unnamed WIP. It’s actually based off the idea of Pangaea. In case you don’t know what that is: its the theory of what the world looked like before the ‘continental drift.’ In the chaos which is erupting as a result of the…[Read more] -

@rolena-hatfield I was under the impression that it was jumping in with two feet (all at once without any forethought) as opposed to first testing the waters. It’s good you have the normal number of feet, if you had any more I would be concerned as well as curious as to how you attained them.

Adry_Grace replied to the topic Little Sailboat Poem in the forum Poetry Critiques 8 years, 7 months ago
@writefury This was amazing!!! The story was so personal and was told in a way that I just wanted to cry for the poor little sailboat when he was abandoned. Never before have I wanted to cry for a sailboat. A first time for everything, I suppose.
There’s one thing that bugs me, as I read through it, the line:
Its adventurous sailing…

@bluejay I didn’t MEAN to fall off the horse. The nervous shock of the moment kinda knocked me off. I’ll do better next time. Yes, I’m all right, a few bruises is all. 🙂
@writefury I LOVE IT. Someone needs to put this on a tshirt.

@writefury Yes… I suppose we are a creepy bunch, but at least we aren’t ashamed of it right? *strikes power pose* And we shall stand proud of our distracted scatter-brained ways and our notebooks filled with notes from our creepering because we are not only creepers but we are WRITERS. *writer flag waves in background* (Do writers have a flag?…[Read more]

@gretald That would be a great English assignment!! I might make that one of my English assignments. (I’m pretty sure I’m allowed to assign myself homework, since I’m homeschooled) An antique shop would be a great place to people watch. I’m gonna have to try that. Usually I just people watch at the library, because I go there regularly anyway.
