Ooops… Um, write this moment: All that remains of earth’s ravaged population is now living inside an enormous glass dome to protect itself from the hostile wasteland remaining. One day, a dusty handprint appears on the outside of the glass.

@kate-flournoy Woooaahh! Slow down there girl, I’ve still got two chapters more to go and a scene left in this one. It’s going kinda slow because it’s dealing with basically the culmination of everything, which is a little tricky as I’m sure you know. Who knows how many revisions this part will need.

@kate-flournoy It seemed pretty authentic overall. What’s you’re writing prompt by the way?

*sigh* @Hope

I need a flashing button on my keyboard that blares the words ‘DO NOT FORGET TAG’ at me every time I make a post.

@bluejay yay!! Seems pretty good to me… 😉

@Daeus awesome. Finished the book yet?

I like it! 😀 Only thing I would look out for is adjectives in the first sentence— I am so one to talk, but thrilling and inspiring are pretty similar so I would cut one or the other.

@kate-flournoy @bluejay 662 words written. Fairly good for my rate.

@Daeus @bluejay 904 words, which I consider pretty good for editing. What did you guys get?

@bluejay yes, roughly. 🙂

@kate-flournoy Sounds good.

@Daeus @bluejay me too! Till 9:30?

‘The girl was just sitting there— legs dangling over the edge of the bridge, slumped dejectedly beneath the weight of a soggy black hoodie.
Cobalt scratched his nose. Not the safest of places to sit. Maybe she was lost. Tugging lightly on his draggled, jewel-toned scarf, he got up from his bench and crossed to her side of the bridge. “Hey,” he…[Read more]

@adry_grace Well, first of all, I don’t think risking one’s life is wrong. I do however thing that it could be a devaluing of one’s life. For instance, if I risk almost certain death to rescue a famous painting, that painting had better have some phenomenal value (and I don’t mean monetary or sentimental value). The Mona Lisa is worth millions,…[Read more]

Hey @bluejay. Good news. If you’re still available, I actually can write tonight.

“I’d like to propose a bill” ZAP! (No you were told to) “That would reduce government size” ZAP! (I one branch and increase it in ten) “I’ve talked this over with my party” ZAP! (K street) “And I think” ZAP! (Ha! Fat chance of that!) “That this will be of benefit to the entire nation. Allow me to lay out the benefits of this bill. It would”
ZAP!…[Read more]

Yes, @Adry_Grace! Very good point.

A few quick things I love about this short— one, the body language is amazing.
Two, the structure is perfect. We open with a bored musician obviously waiting for someone to come along and make his effort worthwhile— something instantly wanted. Enter little girl with coin; want becomes must have. The stakes…[Read more]

‘One… two… three… my tongue lolled nervously out between my jaws, and I crouched lower in the gutter. Not a very nice place to be, granted… but I was desperate.
There it was. Right across the street. Taunting me. Drawing me on to my certain demise.
I whined deep in my throat, choking on my tongue and slapping it up juicily around my teeth.…[Read more]

@Hope phewfk… that would just kill me.

Good example from Lysbeth— I hadn’t remembered that. And I agree one hundred percent with your conclusions.

Which sadly means this topic is nearing its demise.

Noooooo!!!!!! Someone do something! *hysterical panting* I don’t want to stop talking about deep things!!!
