@kate-flournoy Yeah, wouldn’t that just be fantastic. I think I’d completely stop editing by my fourth book. It really does give a good feeling of accomplishment. I was kind of impressed with my scene setting actually, but the pacing was bad, and the conversations were bad, and I used too many adverbs, and my opening paragraph was way too boring,…[Read more]

Yep @bluejay that’s good for me!

@bluejay me! I’m in!

@winter-rose Welcome to (I’ll say it, even though @kate-flournoy and @bluejay beat me to it) the bestistest place on the internet. You’re going to love it here. 🙂
Awesome, I love fantasy, too! What are some of your favorite books? (I say “some,” because asking a bookworm to pick one favorite book is like asking a mother to pick a favorite child. XD)

@bluejay that sounds really interesting… now I’ll have to read it!

Thanks @bluejay! This poem looks great guys 😉

@Bluejay Ooo, that sounds like a good book! Maybe I’ll read it this summer (I only say “maybe” because I already have so many other books I want to read this summer. 😉 ).

@Bluejay No, what’s it about?

@his-instrument Hi, Hannah! 😉 So glad you made it on here. 🙂 As @bluejay said, this is the bestiestist place on the internet.

@his-instrument Hey, if you know Greta, you probably live in my state. Go Ohioans!

What story are you working on now?

I actually write a lot of short stories (I also write longer stuff too) and endings is one of my favorite subjects. I should start a new thread on endings. That would be a good topic.

@bluejay. Wow. You beat me. Fair and square.

Oh, good @bluejay. I guess I forgot to do our fifteen-minute thing, but I did get some writing done.

By the way @anyone, I’m planning to write now, so join me if your up for it.

And then we have knightings,
And sparrings with words,
Though sometimes those sparrings
Grow rather absurd.

@bluejay get over here, we’re ruining your topic. 😀

*urgggggghhhh* *facepalm*
Either you deliberately misconstrue my words, or my computer does.

No prizes for guessing which. 😉

Whoops…tag didn’t work. @bluejay

@bluejay I like the topic for the poem! 😉 However, I agree with @Daeus that there isn’t really much rhythm to the poem…I would work on the meter and rhythm a bit and go from there. Great idea for a poem, though! 🙂

I have to agree with Daeus, @bluejay. I definitely like the topic for the poem ( 😉 ) but it’s sort of just…words. The very first thing I noticed, though, it that you switch back and forth between past and present tense. Decide which one to use and keep it throughout the whole thing. That may help you with meter a bit. (Hope this all makes…[Read more]

What exactly is it you’re looking for @bluejay? If you want to bring this thing to perfection, it’s gonna take a lot of work. First of all, there’s not much form to it – just two sets of rhyme and no real meter to speak of.

You can do free verse that doesn’t have these, but then you’ve gotta really use some juicy words in your poem and jam pack…[Read more]
