I got about 979 while you wrote with me. I had started earlier and so I end with a grand total of 1440. Can’t wait to read the ‘youknowwhat’ 🙂 Thank you for writing with me. I’m glad we were able to do so. @sarah-h

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise Yah…it’s a work in progress. 😀
What, you weren’t one of those whose parents just threw you in the pool as a baby and there you learned? 😛 Heh. I’ve never actually known any of those, but I’ve heard it. I’m not sure it’s true. 😉

@kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy Ah, I see. Well… maybe someday you’ll have the opportunity to fix that. Really, once you get used to it it’s quite fun. 😀

And I’ve been swimming for as long as I can remember. I think my earliest swimming memory was when I was… I don’t know, 4? Something like that. 😉 😀

Well, had spinal problems. Theoretically those have been fixed. *shrug* I’ve got unfigurable head problems still in the figuring process though, so that could be a factor. *’nother shrug*

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise @Emma-Flournoy also has spinal problems, so I’m sure that doesn’t help either.

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise Nah, not the life jacket. I don’t use one of those any more. I can swim well enough to not drown, but it’s more floundering. 😛 It hurts my chest most, and my stomach and my head, and makes me feel too out of breath.
Don’t be sorry, I’m all for suggestions on how to enjoy it more. I want so much to do it better. 🙂 I…[Read more]

Yes, I bring my score up to 2464. What was the word score that I should have been by the end of the week? @anyone

@mark-kamibaya Well, I’m used to being the director for the plays I write, so that explains some of my comments. 😛

And I wasn’t talking about explaining EVERYTHING with dialogue; basically, I meant that a lot of times background information that may not be said in real-life since the people already know what’s going on will oftentimes somehow…[Read more]

@winter-rose Phew. What a time of writing. I’m getting a bit stuck so I’m going to stop now and have lunch. Hopefully I’ll be able to figure out how to bring everything I want about in my story later.
Btw I got 1316 words written. How about you?

One more thing @emma-flournoy: how does swimming hurt? Is it the actual swimming, or the life-jacket? (sorry, but swimming is one of my favorite things, so I like to try and help other people enjoy it too… 😉 )

@dragon-snapper (this is a quickie cuz I’m running short on time. I’ll be back . . . 🙂 )

I’ve written a few scripts (for the stage) and reading movie scripts is a favorite hobby of mine. That’s about all the qualifications I have. So here goes . . .

First, learn the format. Scripts have a specific format (stage and movie have different…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Basically what @kate-flournoy and @daeus said is how I feel. I’m constantly thinking about who’s going to approve of what, and I know as I write certain things that some people simply aren’t going to like it. I have so many friends with so many diverse opinions that I really think it would be impossible to please everyone, so I…[Read more]

I guess just remember (with writing) it will probably be at least a month before they figure out you didn’t take their advice, and then you probably will have forgotten about the whole thing by then and they may have too.
@Daeus Ha! That’s da spirit. 😀

And then too, just… just… you gotta do that stuff. Put on a devil-may-care face and assum…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy Meh, I know. Not complicated. You’re probably right, as usual. (Just kidding, I know you’re right. You always have to do what you know is best, even if you can’t have everyone agree. Now. I will stop distracting you. I am terribly sorry for my inconsideration. Please, write.)

Oh and @Anne-of-Lothlorien, @Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise, I think @SleepwalkingMK is right—is it Morgan? That’s my four year old brother’s name. 😀

@Bluejay well I think I did know that you were a singer, but I would have known anyway because only a singer would say that. And yes, I am a singer too. 😉

@Emma-Flournoy yeah, I guess you just have to accept that you can’t please everybody. I’m used to it by now. Maybe I did struggle with it starting out; I don’t remember. But ultimately you know what’s best for your work, and you choose the opinions that help most, and that’s your responsibility as a writer.

It’s really not all that complicated,…[Read more]

Spoken like a true singer.

@kate-flournoy I can’t tell if that is because you know I am a singer or not. Well, just so you know…I am a singer. What about you?
