@supermonkey42 🙂 hmm

that’s an intriguing idea

I don’t think it would be confusing to readers, as long as they know exactly who’s point of view the scene is coming from. For example, especially the part where the father’s journal is written in 1st person, make it very clear which character is speaking. I have read books that have done this (the…[Read more]

@winter-rose *preaches it*

Yesss. Mechanical pencils are the best. 😉

And I’m going to call it a day too.

It’s a day.

I wrote…ah…oh dear. Not much at all. Not much at all precious.

330.

Ah well, I wrote 2000 earlier, so that’s fine.

My muse must not be speaking now. 🤐

Adios and good luck to college and writing and life, Frodo!

@jess-penrose Lunch? But it’s past dinner. *prepares time travelness suit* 😉

These are mechanical pencils.

(And forgive my Americanness, but what’s a pacer?)

@winter-rose Thanks. 😀

@supermonkey42

I hope you don’t mind free publicity

*crickets* *crickets* What kind of question is that? 😛

Seriously, thanks though. It means a lot to hear you liked the characters because I struggled through a big characterization problem shortly before I wrote this story.

I reached 50,085 on day 27. I did not write yesterday, but I plan on continuing this story (I’d better, I’ve put a lot of work into it!) and trying to write every day again. My friend suggested a word goal for every month might help, and I think that’s a good idea, though something less ambitious than 50,000 all the time, maybe like 30,000. I’ll…[Read more]

@winter-rose I must leave for lunch now, and I won’t be back after that! Fare well!

@dragon-snapper Um… Hang on… Like, a pacer? Is that what you mean?

@jess-penrose Wait, you guys have mechanical pencils in Australia, right?

@winter-rose XD I love them too. So fun. 😀

Yes. Writing is hard —

@winter-rose Yeah. School project blogs aren’t so fun. I just did a whole heap of back poetry… thankfully my posts have improved since! (Or at least,  reeeeeally hope they have! xP)

@dragon-snapper Now that would be handy.

@jess-penrose Never. I use mechanical pencils. Constantly sharp. Never blunt.

@dragon-snapper *Nods* So I see. Does that mean you never have to worry about having a blunt pencil?

@jess-penrose Points are my specialty.

@winter-rose Dragon is good. *nod* Dragon just now reached 10,000 words in new novel. *nod* Writing is difficult sometimes. *nod* I will persevere. *nod*

@dragon-snapper *Tilts head slightly* You may just have a point there.

@winter-rose Yeah. It didn’t help that at the start it was a school task… But now I’m actually writing so I figured I should start using it!

@jess-penrose I’m guessing because you replied that you’re alive. 😉

@winter-rose

@dragon-snapper AH! Right. Okay. Um… I think I’m alive?

@winter-rose *Nods* Hopefully I will be able to stick with it this time!

@jess-penrose Ah. *facesmack* I meant ‘What about you two?’

@dragon-snapper How are two? *Squints in confusion.*

@jess-penrose @winter-rose I’m alive now, but are two?
