@gretald I know, right? We know all these awesome techniques, and some of us *gulp* sound so wise and learned, but there’s such a difference between knowing/talking about something and actually implementing it! 😛

@Daeus wow, okay, yeah, I was thinking more like plot-changing reactions. I totally agree about character minor reactions being important too, but I don’t know if you and I are thinking of the same thing when we say that… would you mind elaborating?

@kate-flournoy Thank you so much for the feedback!!! 🙂 I really appreciate it! Ah, I see what you’re saying about telling vs. showing. I know the difference in my mind, but it’s hard to actually write showing-ly. 😉 I’ll have to go back and edit like crazy. 🙂

@kate-flournoy I like that fancy seal.
Ok, I think you’ve got a point. It really is even more about reaction. I’m not talking about plot though. That is also 99%…[Read more]

You know what, I don’t even know this story… can it be briefly sketched? Or do you know where I could read it?

Awesome! I got 576 words of editing and re-writing done. 🙂 Thanks for writing with me!

All right, thanks for writing with me, @kate-flournoy! I have to stop now. 🙁 Anyway, I got 1001 words written for a short story I just started to write.

Alrighty @gretald. 😉 I’m still with you.

@kate-flournoy, Okay! 🙂 I’m going until 9:45 now. XD

I’m with you all the way, @gretald!

I’m going to go until 9:30. @kate-flournoy

Okie dokie @kate-flournoy 🙂

Hey hey hey @gretald I’m in. 🙂

Hey, I’m going to write for…maybe 20 minutes (until 9:20 am), if anyone wants to join me. 🙂
