Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic The (Awesome) Summer Writing Club! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
So, (here in Virginia, anyway,) it is the (gasp!) last day of Summer! In honor of this momentous occasion, this dramatic changing of the seasons, I was wondering if you would all post an update on how you’re doing with your writing projects?
How did your Summer (or honorary Summer) go? 🙂

Need a bit of help here. Now I don’t want to say too much because of spoilers, but HELP!
*ahem, ahem. What noise comes to your mind when you think of a shell (reasonably big) breaking and falling onto a wooden floor?
But you have to make sure that your audience doesn’t know what has happened?

Sorry guys. I’m being terribly slack. So we should be on the next two chapters. So I need a suggestion.
Does we…
1. Just do two chapters a week and plow our way through it?
Or…
2.Do we have a week in between for reading the next two chapters?People, it’s up to you. @graciekry @his-instrument @jess @clairec @the-happy-bookaholic @dragon-snapp…[Read more]

I have got BIG news. (No I didn’t just get engaged.) I entered a writing competition a few months ago and the presentation for the prizes was last night. I had just moved out of the 14-18yrs, so I was against adults. *nervous gulp* But here are the results.
Adult short story – Anna’s Savanna – 1st place
Adult poetry – I’m proud to be Australian -…[Read more]-
Wow!! Way to go, @Bluejay! Great work! Congratulations! So proud of you. 😀
-
@kate-flournoy Oh, thanks. 🙂 I was so shocked when it happened. 😀
-
Wow, @bluejay , that’s awesome! 😀
-
I hope we get to read some of this stuff …
-
@overcomer *taps side of nose* You might… *mysterious grin* 😀
And thanks. 🙂

-
That’s fantastic and super exciting! Congratulations! I love the fact that we have amazing KeePers who are sharing their stories. Great work! 🙂 🙂 🙂
-
From stories shared, we learn. 🙂 @christi-eaton I should go in for quote making. 😛
-
You totally should @bluejay 🙂 Who knows I may have to use some of your stuff. I love quotes, and accidentally stumbling across good ones 🙂
-
-
-
Sweet @bluejay! 🙂
-
😉 @daeus Totally (please tell me that you’ve seen Finding Nemo.)
-
@bluejay I have. What does that have to do with this?
-
I got it! 😀
-
@christi-eaton & @julia-r Yay! You got it. 🙂
-
-
-
-
@bluejay– Awesome! That’s so cool! Writing competitions scare me. Way to be brave!
-
@julia-r Writing competitions can be scary. I felt sick as we were driving over. But it is a great reward for all the hard work put into story writing.
-
-
Congratulations! That’s really exciting. You keep writing those stories, and someday you’ll make a difference in the world.
-
@anna-brie I hope to make a difference one day. My younger sister wants to publish a set of stories about a cat called Chaos, that I’ve written, so maybe one day….
-
-
Woo Hoo! Way to go, @bluejay
-
@clairec Thank you. 🙂
-
-
Congratulations, @bluejay!!!!!! That is so exciting!

@hope I still can’t believe that it’s happened!!!!!!! Thanks.
-

@dragon-snapper Finding writing competitions is definitely hard. I only know one or two.
*grins* No worries. *takes one of the ice creams and sits licking it happily*-
@dragon-snapper For some reason your comment has disappeared. 🙁 Did you want to write a new one? 😉
-
*sniffs pitifully* It doesn’t like me!!! Wahhh!
Anyways, I said something about finding KP in my search for writing competitions, and Congratulations!-
@dragon-snapper I think it was partly my fault. Did you “reply” to the comment I sent to Hope. Cause I found a spelling error in my message, after you had posted, and so I deleted it and made a new message and it probably took yours too. You can go to you history if you wanted to find out what you said.

Yay!!! That’s so exciting! I would’ve been so nervous to go up against adults. Good for you! 🙂 Would you mind posting Chaos and The Drummer Boy? I’d sure like to read them. 🙂
-
@sarah-h I was nervous. Extremely nervous. I only expected a highly commended. I will definitely let you read Chaos and The Drummer Boy. I shall send them to @spradlin for publishing. (Only with Chaos, it’s a series of stories which if you read number 3. (which this one is) it won’t make much sense. I shall have to send in 1 & 2.

@bluejay Great! I can’t wait to read them! 🙂

Like shattering glass, perhaps with a duller ring to it as the wood would absorb a lot of the sound and the shell is hollow, besides.
@Bluejay
Hmmmm… I’d have to agree with Kate. It doesn’t quite have the tinkling resonance you’d expect from glass (because I have dropped many a glass in my days). Almost like what I’d imagine a pot shattering would sound like, if you want to use a comparison.
You’re not the only one to drop glasses. *I managed to drop a jar of Vegemite once. It was rather a mess*
Yes, I’m wanting a comparison. Originally I had, “the sound of a thousand stones falling to the ground.” But I don’t think it would shatter like that or make that sound.
Well, it also depends on the type of wood floor it is. Is it actual, solid wood? (unfortunately this seems to be becoming rarer, at least in my area) Or is it laminate wood floor? The sound would be different if it is.
Oh yes, and just to clarify, it breaks after it hits the wood floor, right? The way you worded it kind of suggested it breaks before hitting… *grins mischievously*
@bluejay
*grins back* Shhh…it breaks before it hits the ground. It is the good old solid wooden floor. @corissa-maiden-of-praise.
@BlueJay Well, that changes things. *ponders* Perhaps… well, how does it break then? We must take that into account if we are to accurately describe the sound. 😉
@corissa-maiden-of-praise You’re prying! You just want to know what happens don’t you??? 😉 *suspicious stare* It gets whacked on someone’s head. *A hard head* 🙂 *sniggers*
Goodness, this sounds terribly exciting. I can’t wait to read it! 🙂
@bluejay, Ahhh! This is a really hard question. I honestly can’t think of anything except what everyone else has already said, so, um, yeah! 🙂
Thanks @winter-rose That was what I was thinking too, but I wasn’t sure that a clay jar fitted as an example, so I reworded it and I ‘think’ I’ve got it.
@corissa-maiden-of-praise Glad you think so. One day…
@BlueJay Whenever anything is cracked over someone’s head, you can generally count on the story being exciting. 😀
@bluejay, sounds like you’ve got it already, but I agree with the others—like pottery, just a little clearer and harder.
