Anne of Lothlorien

@That_Writer_Girl_99 oooh— cool flashback! I love it. *grins* Good job.

@Holly-Nelson-Gray yeah… what they said. 😉

This may be a somewhat random tangent of this topic, but I’ve found that a lot of times body language can be used to replace dialogue and automatically include more description. Instead of ‘Hey, why are you cleaning the fridge?’
‘Because it’s dirty and needs cleaning and I’m disgusted about it, that’s…[Read more]

@brandon-miller There’s a sci-fi month!!! AAAIII!!! I can’t wait!

@holly-nelson-gray Aloha!
Dialogue I think is probably more important than description, though description is definitely important. Dialogue shows how the characters interact with each other, and it can also add a bit of setting as well. As for description, you can have some, just be sure to avoid info-dumps. I always skip those. I read a book…[Read more]

@jadamae Haha! Yes, I know what you mean. “In Which I Fall in Love” isn’t spoilery at all, is it? (I’ve read a book with that exact chapter title.)

@daeus @graciegirl I’m done for now. My mom and I edited a short story, then I entered it into a contest.

Alrighty! Thanks everyone for your wonderful critiques! I have submitted the final draft into the contest, so we’ll see what happens. I’ll know on the 26 whether I’ve won or not. Again, thank you all!

@daeus Hi again. 😀

@Daeus ‘Sup.

@rolena-hatfield

I too like the philosophical musings and such. I tend to gravitate towards blogs with a lot of personality too. But I’m mostly there for writing and such. I enjoy the odd short story because I like to see that the people know what they’re talking about when it comes to writing. 😉

And everyone has said all the author blogs I…[Read more]

@delightinlife Ooh yay! Chocolate! Thank you for the motivation. 😛 This one is harder than my last.

I’ll be writing the sequel to LKD if anyone wants to join me.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 welp, I am now. 😛 Did you have a question?

@Rachelle yes, some. Though mostly physical drawing… how much are those programs, do you know?

@Rachelle yes, some. Though mostly physical drawing… how much are those programs, do you know?

Thanks all!
After considering everything you all said, I decided I probably won’t keep them. I mainly just had them before because I don’t know. I had no reason really. They weren’t very good ones anyway.

@anne-of-lothlorien This is great!!! You’re character in Ali is great! Even from the beginning I feel terrible that she has to go through that with her family. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

@graciegirl Same! I’ve got to work on my English assignment now, but just had to say something.

@winter-rose I’m done for now. I made some edits to my short story.

Hi guys! The story is due in a few days, (the 16th), though I want to turn it in by tomorrow. 😛 Anything I’m missing from this revised draft? (The editors said I should work more on character, so if you see anything that might be able to make it deeper, let me know.) Thanks!
