@that_writer_girl_99 What you don’t know is that they are actually all mine.

I can’t believe we’re still having this conversation…at least two of them are mine! ;p @dragon-snapper @alia

@alia ….. Ah, well, if you’re sharing fingernails, then we’re good. 😛

Oh, hi @cloudy! Thanks for the feedback!
The lack of contractions are something that I’m using to build Kara’s character. She is kinda refined, but that’s because…well, she has her reasons. It’s on purpose, I promise, but I’ll watch out for what you said.
About the length…I haven’t thought about the word count, or which kind of book this…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99, I like what you have so far. Honestly, to me, it sounds like a (long) short story or a novella/novelette. I can see what people are saying about cliches and things, and you have to be careful, but from what I’ve read, so far it seems pretty original. 🙂 I would add, you and @Jess have a habit of saying do not instead od…[Read more]

Okay. Now I know for next time.
How’s things, Kate? All I do is ask you questions about my story. How are things goin with your WIPs and your life? 🙂 @kate-flournoy

Yes. That makes total sense. 😛

Elizabeth replied to the topic Novel Excerpt (Feedback Welcome) in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
Oh, man. Okay.
Yeah! I mean, I’m excited about it. I feel like maybe I should have waited to pick a theme until I knew the characters better. That make sense? @kate-flournoy

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Novel Excerpt (Feedback Welcome) in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
@That_Writer_Girl_99 well, themes can certainly shift. It’s happened to me before. 😛 If you keep having that feeling, don’t be afraid to play around with it and figure out what’s off and whether you can fix it or just want to go with something else.
That’s great!
And no, it’s not. I’m sure this series is going to be awesome too, but what I…[Read more]

Hm. Yes. Okay. *writes this down*
I’m concerned about my theme. When I started the story, Intelligence vs. Ignorance sounded like a good idea, but now that I’ve planned out the characters a bit more, and now that I know them better… I’m not sure the theme would work. These characters–especially Matthias and Kara–are going to struggle with a…[Read more]

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Novel Excerpt (Feedback Welcome) in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
@That_Writer_Girl_99 nope, looks great! I love the different facets of Matthias’ personality. 😀
As for Blake… I really think you want him inside the prison. That brings the battle directly to Kara where she is right now and sets the whole place in an uproar as conflicting beliefs and agendas collide all over about what to do with him. This…[Read more]

So, I said a while back in this topic that I was preparing for a piano exam. Well, it’s happening tomorrow! (12th May, 9:50 AEST) I’m pretty nervous, but am trying to trust the Lord for strength.
Please pray that I will rely on Him and that I would give the glory to Him. 🙂 -

Thank you to everyone who prayed for Heather. She said she was able to answer all the questions. She doesn’t have her results yet, but it thankful it’s over. 😉

@delightinlife
I read your story and so far, to me it looks good. I don’t have a suggestion for a title because honestly, I didn’t quite know what was going on. You dropped me into another world with fighting and everything…That happened way too quickly. I know this is beta and you’re just starting out, but I’d say, write a little more of the…[Read more] -

Cloudy started the topic Short Story Critique in the forum Short Story Critiques 9 years, 4 months ago
Okay, I posted this story quite a while ago on my blog, and I’m starting to write more and more short stories whenever I have writer’s block on my Novellette. So I’ve been thinking about writing a short story collection ebook, and this means I have to get my stories as good as possible. So any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.…[Read more]
