Congratulations @bluejay! That is splendtastic!

I’m praying, @Daeus. I think I can safely say it’s not your writing which at fault. The scene is necessary as an inciting incident and it is tragic, but it isn’t gruesome. If everything written was sunshiny, then there’d not be much to write about…though I suppose hearing a murder in the first chapter could be startling if one wasn’t expecting…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Welcome to the club; people generally think Joy is older than me too. And they are always surprised when I tell them I’m 22. It’s quite fun, really. 😉

Sounds grandtistic, @aella. 😉 My planning is…coming. Kind of. I have the novellet outlined, but the plot of the novella is eluding me right now. I’m working on it though, so hopefully I’ll have a basic outline figured out this week. (though I’ve been telling myself that the past three weeks so we’ll see…)

Welcome @brandon-miller! Ooo, I like Air Force One too. Harrison Ford is a great actor, and I generally like the characters he places. 🙂

For those who guessed my last one, #3 was a lie; I’ve never got lost in mountains. I’ve never even seen real mountains. 🙁

Welcome, @r-e-p …about a week late. *winces* I’m not on here as much as I used to be. And yes! I am not longer the oldest person on here. 😉 I’m 22…I think there are two or three older writers on the forum, but not many. 😀

I love Mr. Smith goes to Washington too, @emma-flournoy. Then there is the Princess Bride. And I love Pixar’s A Bug’s Life. I love most of Pixar’s movies, except Brave and then The Good Dinosaur. That one was just weird. I also really like Epic…the movie with the little forest people and such. Has anyone seen that? So cute.

@christi-eaton Ooo, I love The Ghost of a King! And Sirens too, though I need to watch it more closely because I’ve only caught bits and pieces since I was working while listening to it.

Just one favorite movie? I like a number of movies. Inkheart is one I really like because of the writer’s humor and the whole idea of meeting characters. I really like Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies too because…Middle Earth.

I like TV shows too. Sherlock is one of my favorites, because of all the hints and foreshadowing and yet you…[Read more]

This didn’t happen in my own family, but there was one brother who pulled out a razor and informed his younger brother that it was ‘for getting the hair mom missed’ and then proceeded to cut out chunks of hair. And the family didn’t figure out until the next day…Sunday.

@jess Well, it depends what you mean by terrible. I had a brother drop his spoon in the dirt, then lick it off to get it clean.

I had another brother who cut a branch half way off a tree, then tied a rope to said branch, tied the other end to his bike, and rode as hard as he could. The rope jerked tight, throwing him off his bike, and then he…[Read more]

@aella Well, I’ve not made any for awhile. I made over a hundred awhile back and now I have them on Pinterest and just keep using them. 😉

@aella Yes, I made the prompt collages with pictures from pinterest. 😉

I love Halt, and I really like Gilian and Horace and Will. I don’t care for the books themselves as much as I used to though. There is so much telling and the character’s are fairly one-dimensional. *bites lip* “glances to either side* *loosens dagger and prepares to defend self from outraged lovers of the books* I do like the stories…well, most…[Read more]

I’ve not been posting here, @daeus, @kate-flournoy, @emma-flournoy, but I’ve been following this conversation and enjoying it immensely, even though I only understand half of it. 😉

Blogging is quite fun. I like to blog about the writer’s life (me…because I’m so fascinating), my own works in progress, writing scenes, prompts…about anything I want to do. I blog at https://authorhopeann.com/

@Rebelutoinary I read Do Hard Things when I was younger and I loved it! And I love The Wingfeather Saga! I’ve not read the Ilyon Chronicles yet, though I want to as soon as I can buy the books…

As for bestistest…that is one of those things I hardly know anymore. I think someone made it up and now it’s something of a competition about who can…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper Congratulations! It’s exciting being able to see progress and reach goals. 😀
