Snapper started the topic Fall and Winter Goals: Writing Club in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
Gather, fellow knights and warriors of this realm!
@Overcomer and I had an idea a little bit ago for the fall. Because summer is now over, (yay–Fall!) that means that The Awesome Summer Writing Club is no longer summery. So, without further ado, I will begin a new topic with the same principal.

@anna-brie @anne-of-lothlorien I’ll be praying for you guys. 🙂
@corissa-maiden-of-praise @spradlin Sorry to arrive so late, but I fully concur with the Spanish topic idea. 🙂 -

@clairec @anna-brie Thanks for the warning. Seems like things always go wrong when people try to make something into a formula. Speaking of different ways to get engaged, Haley mentioned in the video that her parents chose betrothal over courtship. Do you know what the difference is? I thought they were the same thing.

So, (here in Virginia, anyway,) it is the (gasp!) last day of Summer! (Or maybe it’s tomorrow. We’ll stretch it into two days for extra effect) 😉 In honor of this momentous occasion, this dramatic changing of the seasons, I was wondering if you would all post an update on how you’re doing with your writing projects?

@anna-brie I’m leaving now. How’d you go?

Need a bit of help here. Now I don’t want to say too much because of spoilers, but HELP!
*ahem, ahem. What noise comes to your mind when you think of a shell (reasonably big) breaking and falling onto a wooden floor?
But you have to make sure that your audience doesn’t know what has happened?
@kate-flournoy @faithdk @emma-flournoy @christi-eaton @d…[Read more]-
Like shattering glass, perhaps with a duller ring to it as the wood would absorb a lot of the sound and the shell is hollow, besides.
@Bluejay-
Hmmmm… I’d have to agree with Kate. It doesn’t quite have the tinkling resonance you’d expect from glass (because I have dropped many a glass in my days). Almost like what I’d imagine a pot shattering would sound like, if you want to use a comparison.
-
You’re not the only one to drop glasses. *I managed to drop a jar of Vegemite once. It was rather a mess*
Yes, I’m wanting a comparison. Originally I had, “the sound of a thousand stones falling to the ground.” But I don’t think it would shatter like that or make that sound.
-
-
-
Well, it also depends on the type of wood floor it is. Is it actual, solid wood? (unfortunately this seems to be becoming rarer, at least in my area) Or is it laminate wood floor? The sound would be different if it is.
-
Oh yes, and just to clarify, it breaks after it hits the wood floor, right? The way you worded it kind of suggested it breaks before hitting… *grins mischievously*
-
-
*grins back* Shhh…it breaks before it hits the ground. It is the good old solid wooden floor. @corissa-maiden-of-praise.
-
@BlueJay Well, that changes things. *ponders* Perhaps… well, how does it break then? We must take that into account if we are to accurately describe the sound. 😉
-
@corissa-maiden-of-praise You’re prying! You just want to know what happens don’t you??? 😉 *suspicious stare* It gets whacked on someone’s head. *A hard head* 🙂 *sniggers*
-
Goodness, this sounds terribly exciting. I can’t wait to read it! 🙂

-
@bluejay, Ahhh! This is a really hard question. I honestly can’t think of anything except what everyone else has already said, so, um, yeah! 🙂
-
Thanks @winter-rose That was what I was thinking too, but I wasn’t sure that a clay jar fitted as an example, so I reworded it and I ‘think’ I’ve got it.
@corissa-maiden-of-praise Glad you think so. One day…-
@BlueJay Whenever anything is cracked over someone’s head, you can generally count on the story being exciting. 😀

-
@bluejay, sounds like you’ve got it already, but I agree with the others—like pottery, just a little clearer and harder.

@bluejay @anna-brie, I’m stopping now. I got 306 words and some outlining done. I got a little distracted and started reading over my previous work, so I’ll call that proofreading! 😛 How are you doing?

BlueJay replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@clairec 🙁
@jess and @anna-brie Technically 45 minutes are up, but I’m going to continue writing. I don’t know how long for, but I’ll tag you when I leave. 🙂 🙂 -
BlueJay replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@jess *pulls up a chair for you.* Sit down and join in. 🙂 *once you get your breath back*
@anna-brie *pulls up second chair for you* Awesome. It’s been awhile since we wrote together. 🙂 -

ClaireC replied to the topic Bible Challenge in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@anna-brie, I agree. My sister is on Revive, a christian ‘Facebook’ that’s associated with the Rebelution (Alex and Brett Harris) and she said that a lot of people had taken ‘I Kissed Dating Goodbye’ too far, making it a formula and not having any room to learn and do things differently. 🙂

You are most welcome, friend! 🙂 Glad you got it figured out. Happy writing!
@spradlin 🙂 *whispers* It’s ready for beta readers now. Psst, @daeus are you interested in reading “the Golden Conch”?
How many people should I send it to in at once?
@bluejay Yes, I am interested, but I’m a little swamped right now. I’m beta reading two other novels and Kate might send me the second piece of hers any time. Would it be alright if I postpone for a month?
Sure. @daeus
Btw I’m not sure you ever saw this so I’m posting it again, is this a haiku poem?
Soft kittens are cute
Fun to hold and to play with
Be very gentle.
🙂
@bluejay Yep.
Oh good. My youngest sister had to write one for school. She’ll be pleased to know that it was right. 🙂
LOL! Wish I had time to do the thing. SUBMIT IT WHEN YOU’RE DONE THOUGH! cuz that’s the cool thing to do. xD
When it’s done, it will be coming your way. But I hope you have patience cause I have a feeling it might be some time… XD
Haha! Not a problem! Can’t wait to see it. 🙂
@Bluejay I’d love to, but unfortunately I’m way to busy right now to take on any extra projects. Keep me on the list though. 😉 Perhaps a later draft…
