@alia Of course I’ll be praying!

@jenwriter17 *blushes* Goodness!  Thank you. 🙂

@gh24682468999 I write structured poetry.  Daeus did too, but he’s not here anymore.  (He’s one of those traitors that snuck off to join the enemy at Story Embers. 😛 )  I’m horrible at giving advice, but I would guess reading a lot of good poetry would help.  I write mostly comic poems, so I don’…[Read more]

@kaya-young I’m at the moment sort of experimenting with poetry once in a while. I like to write beautiful, graceful free verse rather than structured stanzas, although I do enjoy poems with structure as well.

Some great poetry tips I’ve heard include using imagery/metaphors as much as you can and aiming to make the piece beautiful.

Does anybody…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I enjoy it, mostly because I often manage to find character pictures on it :D. But I get so distracted as well. (Whoops)

And yep, I understand all those random first sentences that you scribble down and find randomly? They’d make great prompts though.

*breaths a sigh of relief* I’ll practise, I promise. and it would be super cool…[Read more]

@seekjustice I never understand pinterest. 😀  I look at stuff on it once in a while, but not often.

I edit, and edit, and edit, too. 😛  But I do it with everything. All those little “first chapter” bits that I write when I have an idea, but not the time to complete it?  I go through them all and edit once in a while, whenever I am looking fo…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I don’t know…Personally, I love Pinterest even though its…super distracting!

Editing takes me forever. When I’m doing a first draft, I literally just write, I don’t edit at all, so it takes only a few weeks. But editing…I agonise over every single word. Everything has to be better. I become obsessed and spiral into madness.…[Read more]

@seekjustice Is it strange that I don’t have a pinterest account? 😉

Haha, well, that’s the way I feel with my western.  I was wondering if maybe we’re opposites when it comes to writing and editing?  It takes me forever to write even a little, but I can edit pretty quickly, (as you might remember from the time I rewrote that passage of the w…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Exactly right. Now I’m looking at Jen’s pinterest and choking on laughter 😀

It’s coming along well. (Translation of that being: I’ve edited 3,000 out of 103,000 words. Yeah, hopefully you’ll be able to read it before you’re…too old.)

@seekjustice Yup, yup!  That’s what happens.  You go on vacation, then you need a vacation from the vacation! 🙂

How is Stars coming along?  Is it nearly done? (Translation: Will I get to read it again soon?)

@rochellaine

Well, at least your working on something. 😀

It was really good, I liked it a lot. But I’m still exhausted!

@seekjustice And I’m working on, guess what? My western! 😛  Of course.

Did you have fun at camp?

@rochellaine

Well, I’m editing Stars then. I’ve definitely been doing that all afternoon 😛

@seekjustice Oh, I wish I could.  😛  But I’m afraid that doesn’t really count.  Unless…are you thinking deeply over them in order to get ideas for how to improve your writing? 😉

@rochellaine

Hey, yes! I am…at least…if you count watching silly YouTube videos as actually working.

@seekjustice I’m in bed, but I’m also starving, so if I convince myself to get up and find a midnight snack, I’ll be up for a while, and if not, I’ll fall asleep on you, but anyway, Hi!  Are you here now?

@kaya-young aw thanks 😊 I just followed you and @ariel-ashira too!

@kaya-young I literally know nothing about poetry 😜 But I do know that my favorite poems have come from @rochellaine 😉

@rochellaine

I am back, but I can’t get distracted just now 🙁 I’ll be on at my usual time though.

@seekjustice Are you back?  You said you’d be back on Tuesday/Monday.  Missed you!

@jenwriter17 Okay, goodbye. I once lived at a house for ten years before moving, so I get where you’re coming from. 🙁

@ariel-ashira Yes, I’m going to add that.  I have just written the intro paragraph so far.  I was asking for suggestions as to what else I should put in, but I had thought of that already.  Don’t worry. 🙂  (I don’t think I’l…[Read more]
