Aha. Hello!

*grins* I can almost see your train of thought chugging along as you posted this.
Yes, the guy Kara killed is a Catastrophe–not that she and Ava know that. He’s an Earth Catastrophe, and the way he looks in my head is rather…jarring. He does look more like a monster than a human being, so there’s that.

I’ve decided that I’m…[Read more]

@graciegirl Someone who’s not graduating yet either! Yay for that! I’m finishing up my sophomore year too, and I say to all the graduates from the bottom of my heart, YAY FOR YOU. *unleashes the crazy tornadoes of glitter* I wish it was me.

But I ain’t going to college. *shakes head firmly* Sorry. 🙂

@graciegirl Wait a sec, you’re only in 10th grade? *sits down* Um. Okay. I was somehow convinced you were graduating like me and Kate. Oops.

College…isn’t as scary as it seems. Trust me. You’re gonna be fine. Be excited! After all, it’s only the gateway to the rest of your life, right?

Kate…yes. Yes. Yes. Algebra. Gross.

Um…not to be annoying or anything, but could you possibly pop over to the google docs and read chapter 3? @kate-flournoy

Is it just me, or have the forums been quieter as of late?

Anyway, I’ll be on and off writing and planning throughout the day if anyone wants to join me.

@winter-rose @dragon-snapper @kate-flournoy @ethryndal @jess @daeus

Yeah, it’s fine, Emma.

And honestly…I have tried. My family takes my ambitions seriously. They respect the fact that I want to have a career as a writer. They’re supportive that way, but when it comes to everything else…my writing doesn’t get the time of day. It’s frustrating.

Maybe you should start a waiting list for your beta-reading @emm…[Read more]

I’m graduating high school this year, but I also have my first year of college completed thanks to Dual-Enrollment. I’m thrilled to finally be starting college, but a little sad to leave my younger high-school friends behind. I’m going to school at home, though. (Go Bulls!)

Oh, goodness…advice. Honestly, a lot of what I could say, @aratrea…[Read more]

I believe both @michael-stanton and myself graduated from college this year. 😀 The biggest thing I learned during my time at college wasn’t related to academics at all but was on the more personal level of what it means to live with a focus on pleasing God rather than other people around me. Still have a bunch I need to learn on that front, but…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield I wasn’t going to say anything because everyone’s already said it, but I just realized I DO have something to add. Like everyone else, I like personal stuff, BUT if the personal stuff isn’t interesting, they’ve lost me. I hate it when people’s blogs are basically just the long version of a grandmother’s facebook post. There has to…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy You on?

@that_writer_girl_99 @emma-flournoy @kate-flournoy Oh yes, Kate’s done that to me too. *shudders* I was staring blankly at my document and feeling discouragement seep through me, when all of a sudden this little window popped up and (I swear, in the creepiest voice imaginable) said, “Hello, Sarah.” I thought the computer KNEW MY NAME and was…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy It’s no big deal, but I just wanted someone with a different perspective to read what I have of my WIP–and by different perspective, I mean someone who’ll read the story for what it is, focus on plot and characters instead of grammar and structure.

I’d ask my family, but they don’t take my writing seriously.

Hey, Emma, can you do me a favor? @emma-flournoy

Ah…siblings…sometimes I wish mine would just let me be wrong lol. @emma-flournoy @kate-flournoy

@BethanySinkyRoses Definitely agree with everyone else. Another thing I thought of is that in trying to teach or encourage your audience in any way, you need them to be able to identify with your characters, & they can’t do that if your characters are perfect. Make sense?

Also, I really like @kate-flournoy‘s point. Showing the real life struggle…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 okie dokie cool. 😀

@jane-maree I’ll be on until 10:15EST

Hi! @dragon-snapper

@That_Writer_Girl_99 thank you. <3 *accepts gratefully*

Ew…numbers…keep them away from me! @jane-maree *sends you hugs and support*
