Is this Clara’s Story? I’m pretty sure it is…

I’m working on procrastinating right now, which is going really well thus far . . .
That made me laugh.
One of the things keeping me going as I mull over the climax of my book is the rush of exhilaration I know I’ll get when all the pieces finally sift together. I just wish it would fit together SOON.

Characters just make stories, don’t they, @kate-flournoy ? My characters are like my best friends I haven’t met yet. 🙂

I’m glad. 🙂 @kate-flournoy , that’s one of the things I don’t like about online discussions, etc., it’s so hard to tell whether you’re being annoying or helpful. (Maybe that’s because I am both? Hmm . . .) 😉
Anyway, you’ve given me hope, thanks!
I love poems in stories. 😀
Talk about Deja Vu! That would be cool! I’m sure that if I see…[Read more]

No, it was genuinely helpful @overcomer. Even if I didn’t end up using any of the corrections (which I am— I’ll probably do what you suggested with the shattered shield and snapped bowstring) it makes me step back and look at my work in new ways, which is always good.
Yes, I have written the story— my WIP, actually. Or more like a WIE—…[Read more]

Oh, I’m having plenty of fun, actually! All those character introduction scenes I had a blast with starting out? I get to do ’em all again! 😛 And improve them!
I. Love. Working. With. My. Characters. It’s probably the number one reason why I write. 😀

A poem with a backstory! (Have you written this? It sounds awesome!) This just got better. 🙂
Aw, I love it when my writing makes me cry! It’s those precious few (slightly embarrassing 😉 ) moments that make me feel like a real writer, like I can do this, you know?
I’m never quite sure if my ideas are actually helpful or if people are just…[Read more]

Thanks for joining the club, @kate-flournoy @hope @aella ! It sounds like we’re all stuck working on the nitty gritty, perhaps not-so-fun parts of our projects.

Thanks, @overcomer. 🙂 I really appreciate your meticulousness. 😉 I’ll definitely take all those corrected lines into consideration.
Yes… I had so much fun with this poem, because it was special to one of my main characters. His mother used to sing it to him when he was little— scared of the dark and of thunderstorms. Near the climax of the…[Read more]

Ooh, nice topic! I can just ramble without worrying about whether or not I’m being coherent… COOL!!!
Right now I’m working on mopping up the mess of a beginning my WIP has… or had, would now be a more accurate word. It was really, really, really slow and rambling getting started, so I’m working on streamlining it and pushing it off strong on…[Read more] -

Awesome; so I can just ramble and talk and no one will think it’s strange? 😉 I’m currently working on planning out a battle, with a mixture of prophecies, secret caverns, the epic fight between the good and the bad guy…nothing is coming together yet; or rather it’s coming really slowly. I did get one great idea in the shower last night, but I’m…[Read more]

Aw, you’re welcome, @kate-flournoy ! Thank you, I’m really enjoying it. It’s good practice for editing or evaluating my own poetry. 🙂
I hadn’t intended to do an “in-depth evaluation” originally, but I liked your poem so much, and I found that trying to collect my thoughts about it in a simple reply, especially with all the different versions,…[Read more]
