@BlueJay Oh, come doctor; I thought you always knew you were working in the loony bin. Or the funny farm, whichever you prefer. *imitates @kate-flournoy‘s evil grin*
And… I may have been faking the tummy ache for dramatic effect. (or is it affect? Those two have always bothered me…) 😉 But thank you for the cool cloth! It felt wonderful!

Well since you returned the chocolate I will sympathetic. Poor @corissa-maiden-of-praise. *rubs a cool cloth on your forehead*

BlueJay replied to the topic The (Awesome) Summer Writing Club! in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years ago
@overcomer I think I said something crazy like writing 10 short stories. Hmm…in a sense I was probably close as I wrote at least three longer stories plus lots of writing prompt stories. I also got lots of poems written.
So I’m very happy with what I got done. 🙂
(And I salute all of you who are about to head into winter. I shall think of you…[Read more] -

@BlueJay *sheepishly brings back chocolate* What, how was I supposed to resist? *returns glare* *snickers* *bursts out laughing* *clutches stomach* Oh, doctor, I think I have a tummy ache! *smirks* 😀
@ZCPeterson, as you can see, we’re all pretty crazy. I’m probably crazy right now mainly because it’s way past my bed-time. 😛 😀

@Overcomer *hem* @Dragon-Snapper is a she. 😛
My summer… eh… it went okay. I never did get around to the Snow White novella, and I’m still editing my WIP… but I’m actually pretty happy with what I’ve accomplished, especially considering summer is the busiest time of year for our family. I’m confident that my WIP is actually going to be…[Read more] -

@kate-flournoy That’s fantabulous that you made up a new word. *giggles*
@corissa-maiden-of-praise If you end up with a tummy ache don’t turn to me.
You see @zcpeterson We are all nuts here. *and naughty, glares at Corissa* -

On second thought, @ZCPeterson, the last line would probably be better as

Welcome, welcome, and thrice welcome @zcpeterson!
(You wouldn’t happen to be in anyway related to Andrew Peterson? He’s one of my favorite authors, so I have to ask. 😉 )

@anne-of-lothlorien That isn’t why I glared! I glared because of all the threats you’ve been making. *repeats glare*
Oh, and it does send an email… to spam. 😉 Actually, I don’t get any other spam, so I haven’t corrected it because it’s easier to have it all in one place. 😉 But you can check you notifications too; it lets you know if you’ve…[Read more]

@ZCPeterson welcome! Another poet! We can always use more poets around here. The world can never have enough of poetry. 😉
And don’t worry; most of the forumers were stalkers long before they ever actually got involved. *winks* I think that’s because most writers are introverts. *grins*
So glad to be able to welcome you to the… uh… um… the…[Read more] -

Need a bit of help here. Now I don’t want to say too much because of spoilers, but HELP!
*ahem, ahem. What noise comes to your mind when you think of a shell (reasonably big) breaking and falling onto a wooden floor?
But you have to make sure that your audience doesn’t know what has happened?
@kate-flournoy @faithdk @emma-flournoy @christi-eaton @d…[Read more]-
Like shattering glass, perhaps with a duller ring to it as the wood would absorb a lot of the sound and the shell is hollow, besides.
@Bluejay-
Hmmmm… I’d have to agree with Kate. It doesn’t quite have the tinkling resonance you’d expect from glass (because I have dropped many a glass in my days). Almost like what I’d imagine a pot shattering would sound like, if you want to use a comparison.
-
You’re not the only one to drop glasses. *I managed to drop a jar of Vegemite once. It was rather a mess*
Yes, I’m wanting a comparison. Originally I had, “the sound of a thousand stones falling to the ground.” But I don’t think it would shatter like that or make that sound.
-
-
-
Well, it also depends on the type of wood floor it is. Is it actual, solid wood? (unfortunately this seems to be becoming rarer, at least in my area) Or is it laminate wood floor? The sound would be different if it is.
-
Oh yes, and just to clarify, it breaks after it hits the wood floor, right? The way you worded it kind of suggested it breaks before hitting… *grins mischievously*
-
-
*grins back* Shhh…it breaks before it hits the ground. It is the good old solid wooden floor. @corissa-maiden-of-praise.
-
@BlueJay Well, that changes things. *ponders* Perhaps… well, how does it break then? We must take that into account if we are to accurately describe the sound. 😉
-
@corissa-maiden-of-praise You’re prying! You just want to know what happens don’t you??? 😉 *suspicious stare* It gets whacked on someone’s head. *A hard head* 🙂 *sniggers*

Goodness, this sounds terribly exciting. I can’t wait to read it! 🙂

@bluejay, Ahhh! This is a really hard question. I honestly can’t think of anything except what everyone else has already said, so, um, yeah! 🙂
-
Thanks @winter-rose That was what I was thinking too, but I wasn’t sure that a clay jar fitted as an example, so I reworded it and I ‘think’ I’ve got it.
@corissa-maiden-of-praise Glad you think so. One day…-
@BlueJay Whenever anything is cracked over someone’s head, you can generally count on the story being exciting. 😀

@bluejay, sounds like you’ve got it already, but I agree with the others—like pottery, just a little clearer and harder.

*Boohoo.* I haven’t seen that movie, but I can guess….. Number three of Narnia. I’ve only seen the first two. Three is in waiting. I’m dying to watch it. *falls to the floor sobbing her heart out.*

@zcpeterson first of all, I really love this poem. I love the idea of building a poem off a piece of scripture, and you executed it very well. I may have to try this… 😀
The only thing that really needs work is what @Daeus said about the meter. For instance, take the first verse:
Who among you can number the stars
Who can count every small… -
