*pats your head* lil’gracie!
Oh my goodness. I took the ACT and hated it. There was too much math and science. Too much.
And yeah, don’t worry. You still got time. @graciegirl -
Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Thank you, KP! in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
Aww…thanks. 🙂 I wouldn’t say I’m quite a regular reader, ’cause I know a ton about writing even though I don’t do it; more than the average reader does, so I judge things kind of from that perspective too…but, still.
When I’m free…ahh. Somewhere a thousand years from now. XD Well, I will indeed take you up at some point; when I have a big…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 ooooookayyyy… sounds like you have it all down. Was there something you wanted me to help with? Because honestly it sounds like you’ve got it.

Here’s the thing–Tam was taken out of the prison for hurting a guard. She broke the prison rules and was punished for it. Kara knows that, which is why, later in chapter 4 (which is still in the planning stages) she gets confused when she isn’t punished. Her view on the Warden changes when he seemingly shows mercy to her, but didn’t to Tam.…[Read more]

Okey dokey! Good that you’re confident enough to switch themes; go for it. 😉
What are the implications?

Elizabeth replied to the topic Thank you, KP! in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
Well, on a website full of writers, you’re a rare treasure. A regular reader, someone who will judge the story for what it is and report and plot-holes back to us. I think that’s cool, which is why I asked ya.
But I’m happy to take a backseat until you’re free. @emma-flournoy *winks* I’ll wait.

Hm. @ethryndal Mind if I ask why?

@Ethryndal well, me either. No need to apologize. 😉

Aha. Hello!
*grins* I can almost see your train of thought chugging along as you posted this.
Yes, the guy Kara killed is a Catastrophe–not that she and Ava know that. He’s an Earth Catastrophe, and the way he looks in my head is rather…jarring. He does look more like a monster than a human being, so there’s that.I’ve decided that I’m…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 Thanks for your understanding. 😛 *hug*
Hm. Well…hm.
Ha! Interesting. *taps finger on chin* Interesting. I do love beta-reading, it’s just…there’s only so much time. My mom has seriously suggested I hire myself out for it. 😛 Which does sort of interest me…I just…haven’t done anything about it.
I was flattered that…[Read more] -

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Novel Excerpt (Feedback Welcome) in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
@That_Writer_Girl_99 yes! Here I am! I read the chapter already and was just waiting for an opportunity to sit down and talk about it. ;P I’ve snatched a moment so here I am.
It’s really good. I read through the whole thing again and I really like where you’re going with this. The only question I have is whether or not you meant to make the guy…[Read more] -

@graciegirl Wait a sec, you’re only in 10th grade? *sits down* Um. Okay. I was somehow convinced you were graduating like me and Kate. Oops.
College…isn’t as scary as it seems. Trust me. You’re gonna be fine. Be excited! After all, it’s only the gateway to the rest of your life, right?

Kate…yes. Yes. Yes. Algebra. Gross.
Um…not to be annoying or anything, but could you possibly pop over to the google docs and read chapter 3? @kate-flournoy

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic To the End of School *raises glass of Orange Juice* in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
I’m graduating highschool as well. 😀
Erm… advice. Hm. 😛 Okay, maybe not so much advice as encouragement, but for those of you like me who aren’t really stellar in any one area, it does get better. There is an end. You won’t be stuck in the sea of mediocrity forever. My courageous mom somehow managed to drag me through sixteen years of…[Read more] -
Elizabeth replied to the topic Writer's corner #5 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
Is it just me, or have the forums been quieter as of late?
Anyway, I’ll be on and off writing and planning throughout the day if anyone wants to join me.

Elizabeth replied to the topic Thank you, KP! in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
Yeah, it’s fine, Emma.
And honestly…I have tried. My family takes my ambitions seriously. They respect the fact that I want to have a career as a writer. They’re supportive that way, but when it comes to everything else…my writing doesn’t get the time of day. It’s frustrating.
Maybe you should start a waiting list for your beta-reading @emm…[Read more]

I’m graduating high school this year, but I also have my first year of college completed thanks to Dual-Enrollment. I’m thrilled to finally be starting college, but a little sad to leave my younger high-school friends behind. I’m going to school at home, though. (Go Bulls!)
Oh, goodness…advice. Honestly, a lot of what I could say, @aratrea…[Read more]

Hurray! I cannot tell you how happy I am that summer is almost here. *starts dancing*
I will be entering 10th grade in the fall…kinda scary.
Yes, congratulations to all seniors! Go forth and conquer! The world awaits your awesomeness! 😉 -
