@bluejay, Write the next episode of a fairy tale that starts with, “And they lived happily ever after. Oh wait, they didn’t.”

@bluejay, congratulations!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 I know what you mean, every time I finish a story, I wish it could go on and on forever. (That is, until I think of a new idea.)

@overcomer, great tips. I think of all these really good names, and then I forget them when I go to write them. 🙁 I need to start carrying a notebook around.
Is anyone writing later? @bluejay, @graciekry, @clairec, @winter-rose? -

Thanks, @winter-rose , @bluejay ! Glad y’all got so much writing accomplished. 🙂
Names can be difficult. How do you usually come up with them?
I usually try to go with the first (or second) name that pops into my head when I think of the character or place, then stick to and trust my original instinct as much as possible. I don’t usually…[Read more]

Jess replied to the topic Variation for Capture the Flag ideas? in the forum Fantasy 9 years, 8 months ago
@daeus, yeesh, how long would you play for? Granted, I’ve always used to play with friends in our multi-acre, hilly, wooded backyard, and play would last for hours even with the five-minute rule! I do like the technological twist… I’ll see if I can work that in somehow.
@bluejay *waves back at the computer screen* Though I don’t think the…[Read more]

Alright, I’ll join you @bluejay and go for 10 minutes. (I’m taking baby steps) 😉

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic The (Awesome) Summer Writing Club! in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 8 months ago
Honestly, @daeus , it’s the sense of obligation that’s killing me … my muse that is. Accountability does help, but if you don’t want to write … and lately I haven’t. It’s complicated, post-vacation can’t get my mind back on my work stuff.
All excuses, I know, but I think I’ll just do it now. I think I’m finally over it. Thanks for…[Read more]

Jess replied to the topic Variation for Capture the Flag ideas? in the forum Fantasy 9 years, 8 months ago
@bluejay, I found this explanation online… It might be more of an American game! 😉
“Both teams get five minutes to hide their flags. Once the flags are hidden, the game begins. Obviously, in order to win the game, you must capture the other team’s flag and bring it back to your own territory. But if an enemy team member grabs you while you’re…[Read more]

Whoops, sorry @bluejay, didn’t see your post until now

@winter-rose, I don’t know about @bluejay, but I am shooting for around 45 minutes or so.

Sarah Hoven replied to the topic Have you read…? in the forum Book Discussions 9 years, 8 months ago
@bluejay I was finally able to start reading the Billabong series today. The writing style is really neat. The story itself is so simple, and yet so delightful to read. I love old books like that.

Okay, I think I need to stop now @bluejay. I got a good amount done of editing, and wrote a few hundred words. How are you doing? And are you around the same time tomorrow to write? Or anyone else. 🙂

Jess replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 8 months ago
@bluejay, I might edit for forty minutes… I’ll see how much I can handle at one time! 😛 Maybe more, but that’s what I’m shooting for. Enjoy lunch… I’m going to go to bed after editing!

@bluejay, my time? If so yes! I really need to get this done! I was so confused by your post until I realized that the seasons are flipped in the “land down under.” Silly me.

Jess replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 8 months ago
@winter-rose, @bluejay, I am slogging through some editing too. :/ I wrote the first chapter to a book a really long time ago, and it is horrendous! I had no sense of grammar and plot back then… So I didn’t get to much done, I’m just trying to fix mistakes and make it more exciting.

@bluejay. I’m done now. You guys enjoy! 🙂
