@That_Writer_Girl_99 there’s a button at the top of the document with a word bubble on it, where it shows who’s logged in. Just click it. 😉

Ugh. I’m supposed to be doing an exam but now you have me wondering how you did that in the first place… @kate-flournoy

@That_Writer_Girl_99 *hysterical laughter* It was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

*peeks in* @kate-flournoy I agree with Emma.

Also, I swear, Kate, if you ever scare me like that again… *glares*

@Emma-Flournoy sneaky! XD I wasn’t ready yet…

@Rolena-Hatfield I like a variety of stuff—I wouldn’t like it all to be only on one subject. Not even writing. 😉 I love the philosophical musings sort a ton; the occasional story; and OF COURSE the bloggers whose blogs are personal.
@Ethryndal‘s blog is my current favorite; this is another one but she‘s not very active yet. Finishing school…[Read more]

@Anne-of-Lothlorien This sounds very ignorant, but—what’s a root canal? Is it some sort of tooth thing?
And yeah, I’ll be praying. 😀

@That_Writer_Girl_99 oooh— cool flashback! I love it. *grins* Good job.

@brandon-miller There’s a sci-fi month!!! AAAIII!!! I can’t wait!

@holly-nelson-gray Aloha!
Dialogue I think is probably more important than description, though description is definitely important.

@daeus @graciegirl I’m done for now. My mom and I edited a short story, then I entered it into a contest.

Alrighty! Thanks everyone for your wonderful critiques! I have submitted the final draft into the contest, so we’ll see what happens. I’ll know on the 26 whether I’ve won or not. Again, thank you all!

@daeus Hi again. 😀

@Daeus ‘Sup.

@dragon-snapper Your welcome! 😀

@delightinlife Ooh yay! Chocolate! Thank you for the motivation. 😛 This one is harder than my last.
