@hannah-c dropbox is free unless you get a business account, which is totally unnecessary.

In hopes of the occasional early writer, I thought I’d let you all know that I’ll be at it for about an hour if you’d like to join me.

@Spradlin COOL!!!!!! I was familiar with the concept, but I’d never heard it called that before. Now I know! 😉 Nice work, @Vanna.

@Hope it can work in whatever you want it to. So what if it’s usually considered scifi? Challenge perceptions! Force people to think outside the box! Conquer the world! *shakes fist over head, glowers out over whoever is listening*

Hm, let’s see now. If the Reflection is a reflection, then the real world must be… um… yeah. Physical.…[Read more]

Awesome topic @Hope. My all time favorite writing scripture is Ecclesiastes 12:11:

The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd.

It reminds me not only of the power we wield (and have a responsibility to wield responsibly) but also of Who gave us that power, and ultimately…[Read more]

@Hannah-C I’m so sorry. I think losing a story is even worse than getting rejected. That happened to me once; well, I’d backed-up fairly regularly so I only lost a few chapters but still…it was several days worth of work. And I discovered several other things I’d lost in the computer crash weeks or months later when I went looking for them. ;( I…[Read more]

@Daeus that’s sounding more and more like a very wise idea. 😀

Uum, @kate-flournoy, get a dropbox account.

Oh no, @Hannah-C! That’s awful. I’m so sorry. *weeps in sympathy* Thankfully nothing this dire has ever happened to me. It almost did once— I accidentally hit ctrl-A (highlight) instead of ctrl-S (save) then continued typing before the command had fully gone through… and you know when you highlight something and keep typing, whatever you keep…[Read more]

*Closes eyes. Winces.* Oh, man. I’m so sorry. This happened to me a while ago. I can only suppose there is a good reason for it — somewhere where we maybe can’t see it.

Ever since this happened to me, I’ve been sinking my files to a dropbox account. Dropbox is essentially a cloud storage system. That way, even if every file on your computer…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy *shamelessly share wikipedia article* YE SHALL LEARN TODAY! 😀 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_wall <– Linky. It’s actually a really cool concept basically where the character in the story is aware that nothing is real or interacts with the audience even though they’re supposed to be hidden behind the “fourth wall.”

I’ve got a bit more editing if anyone is interested???????? 🙂 Anyone????

Eh? I don’t know what you’re sorry about. That’s a good overview. I’m gathering that the re-readability factor has much more to do with wit than story line. I guess you could say it’s mainly about good prose and intellectual stuff.

Oh nice 🙂

I got my editing done earlier @daeus. I’m not sure how many words, but I got a short story fixed up. 🙂

Never mind then. I got 895 edited.
