Mallory O'Bier started the topic Editing Advice (Poem) in the forum Poetry Critiques 8 years, 2 months ago
Hey, 🙂
So, I have this poem from last year that I know needs some work, (ahem, a lot) but before I hacked it to pieces I thought I would share it first and see what y’all think.
Does it make any sense? Do you have any suggestions? Any ideas? Give me your harshest criticism! Hahaha! 😉 (Seriously, please do! And tell me if it’s terrible!…[Read more]

BlueJay posted an update 8 years, 2 months ago
I have got BIG news. (No I didn’t just get engaged.) I entered a writing competition a few months ago and the presentation for the prizes was last night. I had just moved out of the 14-18yrs, so I was against adults. *nervous gulp* But here are the results.
Adult short story – Anna’s Savanna – 1st place
Adult poetry – I’m proud to be Australian -…[Read more]-
Wow!! Way to go, @Bluejay! Great work! Congratulations! So proud of you. 😀
-
@kate-flournoy Oh, thanks. 🙂 I was so shocked when it happened. 😀
-
Wow, @bluejay , that’s awesome! 😀
-
I hope we get to read some of this stuff …
-
@overcomer *taps side of nose* You might… *mysterious grin* 😀
And thanks. 🙂

That’s fantastic and super exciting! Congratulations! I love the fact that we have amazing KeePers who are sharing their stories. Great work! 🙂 🙂 🙂

From stories shared, we learn. 🙂 @christi-eaton I should go in for quote making. 😛

You totally should @bluejay 🙂 Who knows I may have to use some of your stuff. I love quotes, and accidentally stumbling across good ones 🙂

Sweet @bluejay! 🙂
-
😉 @daeus Totally (please tell me that you’ve seen Finding Nemo.)
-
@bluejay I have. What does that have to do with this?
-
I got it! 😀
-
@christi-eaton & @julia-r Yay! You got it. 🙂
-
-
-
-
@bluejay– Awesome! That’s so cool! Writing competitions scare me. Way to be brave!
-
@julia-r Writing competitions can be scary. I felt sick as we were driving over. But it is a great reward for all the hard work put into story writing.
-
-
Congratulations! That’s really exciting. You keep writing those stories, and someday you’ll make a difference in the world.
-
@anna-brie I hope to make a difference one day. My younger sister wants to publish a set of stories about a cat called Chaos, that I’ve written, so maybe one day….
-
-
Woo Hoo! Way to go, @bluejay
-
@clairec Thank you. 🙂
-
-
Congratulations, @bluejay!!!!!! That is so exciting!
-
@hope I still can’t believe that it’s happened!!!!!!! Thanks.
-
-
@dragon-snapper Finding writing competitions is definitely hard. I only know one or two.
*grins* No worries. *takes one of the ice creams and sits licking it happily*-
@dragon-snapper For some reason your comment has disappeared. 🙁 Did you want to write a new one? 😉
-
*sniffs pitifully* It doesn’t like me!!! Wahhh!
Anyways, I said something about finding KP in my search for writing competitions, and Congratulations!-
@dragon-snapper I think it was partly my fault. Did you “reply” to the comment I sent to Hope. Cause I found a spelling error in my message, after you had posted, and so I deleted it and made a new message and it probably took yours too. You can go to you history if you wanted to find out what you said.

DUDETTE!!!! THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!! *high fives all around* SERIOUSLY AWESOME JOB! I am so proud of you! 😀 😀 😀

*returns high five* Ah, thanks Sarah. 😀 😀 😀

Oh, wow @bluejay! That’s awesome! Much applause! 😀

🙂 😀 🙂 😀 🙂 😀 🙂 😀 Thank you. 🙂 😀 🙂 😀 🙂 😀 🙂 😀 🙂
-
Yay!!! That’s so exciting! I would’ve been so nervous to go up against adults. Good for you! 🙂 Would you mind posting Chaos and The Drummer Boy? I’d sure like to read them. 🙂
-
@sarah-h I was nervous. Extremely nervous. I only expected a highly commended. I will definitely let you read Chaos and The Drummer Boy. I shall send them to @spradlin for publishing. (Only with Chaos, it’s a series of stories which if you read number 3. (which this one is) it won’t make much sense. I shall have to send in 1 & 2.
-
@bluejay Great! I can’t wait to read them! 🙂

@Christi-eaton: I’d love to see your work! I’m not the best at shading but I’m pretty good at copying pictures. I’ll have to post a few of my paintings and sketches. As far as Disneland food goes, have you ever had a Dole Whip from the Tiki Juice Bar in Adventureland? According to the Internet, they are amazing.

Welcome, @julia-r! It’s awesome that you like to draw and paint. Me too! My parents went to Mackinac Island for their 20 year anniversary last year. I’ve heard it’s beautiful. 🙂 Anyway, hi!
@christi-eaton Yeah, the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland is one of the best. 😉

@Christi-eaton: SOOOOO jealous! I have never been to a Disney Park! (*bursts into sobs*) I might just have to wait for my honeymoon. What is your favorite ride/attraction/park food? I’ll try to post some of my sketches sometime. Btw, did you draw your profile pic? It’s awesome!

Thanks @gretald, @hope, @christi-eaton. I’m writing the script for a home-school dinner theater production that we are putting on. Someone asked if I could write the scene (from a tv show) and I am happy to do so. 🙂

I heard the word fantasy…
*Deep calming breaths*
@Daeus I definitely recommend The Two Princesses of Bamarre along side @Christi-eaton and @Bluejay.
And the Wingfeather Saga is amazing.As for a procedure… well Fantasy is my main writing focus. (I love all the possibilities that come with this genre!) However I am what some call a “Seat of…[Read more]

Snapper started the topic Why We Do This in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
Hey, everyone!
I was just thinking about writing (granted, I’m always thinking about writing, but that’s beside the point). Why do we do it? Why do we want to put a bunch of words onto a page; make remixes of the Dictionary? What motivates us?
Writer’s Block, in my opinion, is just lack of motivation, so, I was thinking that each of us writers…[Read more] -
