I’m with @kate-flournoy and @daeus. Thanks for the offer, though.

Did you guys know google docs had a chat thingy? Because I didn’t. *scowls* Kate finds pleasure in scaring me half to death. Apparently.

@emma-flournoy Long story short, a random notification appeared on my computer that said Kate had sent me a chat thing and I was like HOW DID SHE FIND ME? I was confused and startled but it was just Kate the…[Read more]

‘Hey, why are you cleaning the fridge?’
Bob slapped his soaking rag down on the floor of the fridge, twisted his head, and glared up at her over his shoulder.
She gave a little grin and shrugged. ‘All right…’

Nuts. Now I want to write a story completely based off of that.

@Holly-Nelson-Gray So many good things said here already!
I’m just gonna add a quick thought, building off of what Kate said.
Balancing dialogue and description is not so much about how much you have of one or the other, but about how you use both in a natural and realistic way. This requires knowing your characters. Who they are and how they…[Read more]

@jess Awesome! Haha. Yeah, it is nice to know people know what they’re talking about 😉 Thanks for sharing!

@emma-flournoy Personal. Check.
Hahaha! Sisterly love. I sooo look forward to following when she does become more active! 😀 (seriously @Kate-Flournoy, I’m excited about this. And I really like your header 😉 )
Yes Rosey’s blog! Blank…[Read more]

*brain explodes* @kate-flournoy

Ugh. I’m supposed to be doing an exam but now you have me wondering how you did that in the first place… @kate-flournoy

*peeks in* @kate-flournoy I agree with Emma.

Also, I swear, Kate, if you ever scare me like that again… *glares*

@brandon-miller There’s a sci-fi month!!! AAAIII!!! I can’t wait!

@holly-nelson-gray Aloha!
Dialogue I think is probably more important than description, though description is definitely important. Dialogue shows how the characters interact with each other, and it can also add a bit of setting as well. As for description, you can have some, just be sure to avoid info-dumps. I always skip those. I read a book…[Read more]

@jadamae Haha! Yes, I know what you mean. “In Which I Fall in Love” isn’t spoilery at all, is it? (I’ve read a book with that exact chapter title.)

@daeus @graciegirl I’m done for now. My mom and I edited a short story, then I entered it into a contest.

Alrighty! Thanks everyone for your wonderful critiques! I have submitted the final draft into the contest, so we’ll see what happens. I’ll know on the 26 whether I’ve won or not. Again, thank you all!

@daeus Hi again. 😀

@Daeus ‘Sup.

@delightinlife Ooh yay! Chocolate! Thank you for the motivation. 😛 This one is harder than my last.

@winter-rose @daeus @that_writer_girl_99 @ethryndal @jess @northerner @anyone
I’ll be writing the sequel to LKD if anyone wants to join me.

Thanks all!
After considering everything you all said, I decided I probably won’t keep them. I mainly just had them before because I don’t know. I had no reason really. They weren’t very good ones anyway.

@anne-of-lothlorien This is great!!! You’re character in Ali is great! Even from the beginning I feel terrible that she has to go through that with her family. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
