@Daeus This is such a cool idea! I’d love to be a part, if I can remember to write characteristics down. 😉

Greta replied to the topic The (Awesome) Summer Writing Club! in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
@overcomer I haven’t finished a novel before, so I can’t help much there. Sorry! However, I know exactly how you feel because I’ve felt the same way. I’ve heard that the hardest part of writing a novel is writing the beginning. I don’t know whether you’re a plan-out-the-entire-novel sort of person or a start-from-scratch sort of person or a…[Read more]

BlueJay replied to the topic The (Awesome) Summer Writing Club! in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
Well, I’ve never written a novel, but I have done a novelette. Basically there is no wrong way and it will get fixed later. 🙂 I feel it’s just like writing a short story so just go for it.
*stares at post*
That wasn’t much help was it??? I’m too tired to think. I have been playing in the snow. 🙂 We have an awesome hill to sled down and we’ve…[Read more] -

Sounds like an awesome idea. Not sure I’ll have a heap of time, but hey, who knows. Count me in.

BlueJay started the topic Word Lists in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
I have an idea and as it is for you guys, I thought I’d found out if anyone is for it before I start. My sister does this spelling book, were she has a list of twenty words. As one of her projects she has to write something (generally a paragraph or two) using as many words as possible. The words are pretty random and sometimes impossible to work…[Read more]

@daeus, @kate-flournoy Yay! Now I know how to grow mushrooms. But there’s even an easier way. Let the weather do it. Sun + rain = mushroom. And big ones too. 🙂

@hannah-krynicki Oh, nice! Have fun on vacation. 🙂

Greta replied to the topic The sign of the four in the forum Book Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
I haven’t read Sign of Four before, but I’m thinking that Watson’s attraction to Mary is entwined with the main story plot somehow, like Sarah said. I also think it serves to contrast Watson’s character and Sherlock Holmes’s character. Watson is much more emotional and open about his emotions, whereas Holmes doesn’t have much emotion at all.…[Read more]

@C-C-Lane It’s great to meet you!
Awesome, I love LOTR, too! I’m reading it for the third time this summer. 🙂 -
Faith Kindred replied to the topic Prose in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
Nice topic! I agree 100% on all your points.
Using adjectives sparingly: When I was little, everyone was always telling me “You need more adjectives,” and “you can never have too many because the more descriptive your writing is, the better.” Wrong! You said it, Kate, there is such a thing as overkill.
But…but, wait. Y-you don’t like…apple…[Read more]

Oh, okay. Thanks @Daeus. I didn’t know about that… Sorry to bring up a stale discussion. 😛

Faith Kindred replied to the topic Aliens, in the forum Sci-Fi 10 years, 2 months ago
@Sarah-h, I agree with you. Although, I wouldn’t say that it’s wrong to create another world that doesn’t have Jesus Christ in it specifically. Now, I do think aliens would be going too far, but I don’t see what’s wrong with creating a world with say dragons or other fantasy creatures in them as long as it includes Christian morals and the idea of…[Read more]

Hey there @C-C-Lane! Medieval fantasy eh? Me too! 😀 I’ve tried learning guitar, but never had much luck with it. It’s a beautiful instrument though. Glad to have you on the forum!
