ClaireC posted an update 10 years ago
Current Status – boring my mother as I tell her the entire plot of my book, (over several days) complete with names, backstory, ghosts, lies, truths, Thing-your-character-wants, Thing-your-character-needs, plot twists, etc. The whole load. She’s very patient. I’m finding it very useful to verbalize all my ideas, making sure everything makes sense.…[Read more]

@anna-brie, sorry forgot the ‘@’ symbol in front of your name!

@clairec Thanks for the reminder. I’m sure I don’t thank Mommy enough for all that she does for us. I’ve begun to realize that she doesn’t have such a thing as free time; we 5 children take it all up. It’s hard for me to imagine making a sacrifice like that, every day, all my life like she has, and I really appreciate her. Three cheers for…[Read more]

@sarah-h. I call my parents Mummy and Daddy, but when I’m talking to other people, I generally say Mum and Dad.

@clairec It’s so true! My “mum” (I’m American, so I spell it “mom,” but I like the sound of “mum” more, for some reason… 😛 ) does so much for me, and I often take it for granted. 😉 Glad you’re able to sort out your plot and everything!

@gretald, Thanks! 🙂

@gideon-sowdon, That’s okay, It took me forever to figure out! Just click on the profile of the person you want to reply to (their name in blue under their profile picture) and when you get to their page, there’s two names, one above their picture, and one on the right of their picture. The one on the right of their picture has a little ‘@’ sign…[Read more]

@gideon-sowdon It’s very simple. Let’s use yours as an example. So click on your profile picture and you can see what your tag is @gideon-sowdon. Click on mine and it is @bluejay. Not everyone has their tag as their name. As in, Greta is her name, @gretald is her tag. Does that make sense? You’ll start to memorize them the more you use them.…[Read more]

Jackets are amazing! I feel going on adventures whenever I’m wearing one.
Sure, I’ll make one on September 22, the day summer officially ends (sadly). It shall be done. *bows and walks away ominously*

@overcomer
Falls my favorite season as well. I love the weather, but its not cold enough to have to wear poofy coats that makes my hair staticky and then it flies everywhere. 🙂
Ooh, I like that idea! Maybe we should make an Awesome Winter Writing Club for those who want to make goals for finishing their books as well. -
Snapper replied to the topic Structure and Character Arcs in the forum Characters 10 years ago
Whenever I plot a story, I first make a 3 point disaster structure. 1. Beginning–what causes the story to start 2. Middle–the major turning point in the story, like the top of a triangle 3. Resolution–the final battle or the secret revealed.
After I have a general picture of what I want to do, I do it chapter by chapter, with the scenes of the…[Read more] -

Whoo hoo! another Aussie! Welcome brother-of-@anna-brie, @gideon-sowdon! I’m from Brisbane! 🙂

I have to agree with @anna-brie. But as @sarah-h said, I’ve never really heard of any others.

BlueJay replied to the topic Bible Challenge in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years ago
@sarah-h No pantomimes are not silent. At least the ones we did weren’t. I’m not sure why they are called that rather than plays or musicals. I do know that in a Peter Pan pantomime Peter is always played by a girl. Don’t know why that either. 🙂
