@Winter-Rose Yeah, that makes sense… 🙁

Hi guys! So, I’m trying to teach myself to sing. Do you guys know where I should start?

@Mark-Kamibaya my apologies. 😉 I was also operating on a low battery when I wrote that, so it’s probably not as clear as it could have been.
You got it though. And you’re right, I didn’t realize that was what you’re saying, and if that’s the case there’s no debate, because I totally agree. 😛

In the beginning, I sided with the belief that cliches are . . . well, the devil. Then, I defined a cliche as anything so overused it…[Read more]

Yay! This is gonna start some (lively) discussions.

@kate-flournoy I admit I was confused by your response. A little worried but more confused. @that_writer_girl_99 gave a popular explanation. Then, @graciegirl clarified it for me a little more. But I’m still quite confused (maybe it’s because I lack sleep, but whatevs).

Signing off. @audrey-caylin @jane-maree

It’s a long story that mostly involves eating at strange hours and arriving home from Orlando rather late. @audrey-caylin

Yep! Ah, dinner. I’m currently eating pancakes. At 9:30pm. @audrey-caylin

Yay! Good job! See you ’round. @winter-rose

Heh… @winter-rose

Yeah. That. @winter-rose *blushes* One day, I’ll get this whole story structure thing straight.

I very much enjoyed it. The first movie was very similar to the first book in the series.

I’m working on leading up to the first plot-point. What did you call it, Gabby? A key…something? @winter-rose
