Emma Flournoy

Hi all. I had a rough day today. Feeling very discouraged. I struggle with low self-confidence and grapple with loneliness. A lot. And struggle with introverted-exhaustion (I’m constantly around people) and a bit of depression as well.

All in all, I’m very overwhelmed at the moment, so I could use some prayer. I feel like God is calling me to…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy I want to learn all the fiddling styles…Irish, English, Texas swing, Cajun, Spanish, etc. Basically I just love folk music, period. 😛 The crunching sound is a result of a softer bow, as well as really digging into the strings close(ish) to the frog. Another fun thing to try when playing quicker tunes is holding the bow about…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy *facepalm* Literally four comments up from where I asked. That’s just embarrassing. XD

@kate-flournoy I totally misspelled your name. Oops. *sheepish grin* I will sing pretty much anything as well; my taste in music ranges from admirably tasteful and cultured to embarrassingly okay with on-trend pop. 😛 I draw the line if it’s a song with one annoying phrase repeated over and over, or one with enough percussion to totally hide…[Read more]

Just letting you all know, that I have gotten your replies, and love them all!
I will get back to you if I have time, but for now know that your responses are appreciated. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 :)…[Read more]

*watches as thread deflates like a balloon*
Ahem…I found the answer to all our music-writing problems! It is Musescore. What every music composer needs. I’ve only been using it for a few…[Read more]

@f5a8c3e92 Phooey, I missed the critiquing party. And @Emma-Flournoy, with her wonderful thoroughness, has pretty much read my mind on the subject of the second draft. XD So, yeah. Good job.

Oh, one thing: That first part, when Halle’s running from bad guys, and then wakes up in a castle. That confused me just a litte. Was running from bad guys a…[Read more]

Even though the topic has totally derailed, I’m still going to be contrary and pop in with a sentence about what was happening two pages ago.

Yay, @Kate-Flournoy and @Emma-Flournoy, that’s great! *explosions of glitter* 😀 Hey, what song did you do?

That’s amazing. I’m so glad it went well! @kate-flournoy

You sing? @emma-flournoy plays violin? You have an older sister named Elizabeth? Cool, cool, and cool. (I’ve always wanted to play violin…)

If you remember a while back, I requested prayer for the Easter offertory I and my sisters were going to play/sing for our church. I don’t remember who all responded (@Daeus @Ethryndal @ClaireC possibly?) but I just wanted to let you know that everything went off really well. I was incredibly nervous but it didn’t affect my voice at all, which is…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Sawyer is the only one at the door (I’ll try and make that clearer). The word is definitely ‘prised’. Good points. Yeah, I need to get rid of those habits… 😛

Thank you so much @emma-flournoy Nope, I’m actally not sure. Sorry! My personality leans toward being more introverted. But, once I know someone super well, I’m not shy at all. 😉

@emma-flournoy @kate-flournoy @daeus @winter-rose @that_writer_girl_99 @jane-maree Here is the FULL Prologue and Chapter 1. I didn’t actually provide the entire of Chapter 1 before. Tell me what you think.
Prologue
Halle’s heart raced. They’re coming. They’re coming for me. Her hair flew out behind her, blending with the browns and greens of the a…[Read more]

@daeus @emma-flournoy @winter-rose @kate-flournoy @jane-maree The entirety of the Prologue and Chapter 1 (I didn’t actually give you guys the whole of Chapter 1 to begin with):
Prologue
Halle’s heart raced. They’re coming. They’re coming for me. Her hair flew out behind her, blending with the browns and greens of the autumn forest. She leapt over…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Good point. ‘She leapt over the fence and cried out in pain as her hair caught in the wire’s deadly barbs. Grunting with frustration, she drew her knife and with one quick slash, the tangled orange mass was left behind.’
True about the muttering… Weird. In my actual document, I don’t have a comma after ‘Aunt’. Must’ve been a typo.
