I updated my Google Doc with what I currently have of Chapter 3 @kate-flournoy

I’m actually going to run errands with my mom at the moment, but let’s just say that the character Matthias decided to be in this chapter is very similar to how I thought Blake was going to be, so I might have to change Blake a bit…

I completely get the feeling- both the hardship of watching your mom struggle and how sometimes there’s nothing you can do except not add to the burden. I will definitely be praying.

@Winter-Rose @Daeus *poofs in* I know, I’m never here at this time. But technically I’m critique reading at the moment. And doing a bit of songwriting as well. (Shhhh it’s not past midnight yet xD)

@That_Writer_Girl_99 well I’m here now. XD *folds hands primly**ahem* You had a question?

@That_writer_girl_99 *jumps in late AGAIN to respond to something that happened four pages ago* Yup, Sarcastic Elf. That’s me. Summed up and wrapped in glittery perfection in two incredibly awesome words. *bows*

@dragon-snapper I’m always going to call them Shorty Stories from now on. XD

Now. The first few paragraphs, though I didn’t really find confusing, needed a little more development. They’re just sitting by the window at midnight?! How about you make mention that Jack had woken Daniel up or something? Also, it seems like you had trouble remembering…[Read more]

“No.” It couldn’t be that. The…

Well, I don’t really know about many contests myself that you could enter (though I heard of an annual short story writing contest awhile ago I forgot most of the stuff about it. I’ll get back to you when I find it 🙂 ), but I’d advise looking in official places for them (college websites, Writer’s Digest magazine (…[Read more]

@perfectfifths *falls off chair and chokes laughing* I’m an elf, okay? This Galaxy stuff is beyond me.

Thanks! Looks cool. I think I’ll submit something, maybe 🙂

@Dragon-snapper The only writing contest I ever knew about was Patrick Henry College’s “A Call to Pens”, but they’re not doing it this year, so…sorry. I know I’m not helpful.

*snickers* I am one with the 4th, the 4th is with me. May the 4th be with you all!!!

Goodbye! @audrey-caylin

I’m still around for a half-hour or so.

@Lady_Erin For future reference, Josiah’s tag is actually @aratrea.

Welp! I can agree with…whoever said it–this is the strangest introductory forum I’ve ever seen. I wish I could tell you that it isn’t always like this. But it is.

Sometimes, it’s worse.

Got it. Very cool. @audrey-caylin

*sips chocolate shake thoughtfully* *resumes typing*

Sounds really intriguing, though! Plenty of opportunities for plot twists and that kind of thing. @audrey-caylin

So…the character who was your protagonist has turned into the antagonist? How’d that happen?

*reluctant sigh* I know you’re right, but I’m going to have to get used to writing that way.

Are you still on? I know we’ve covered a lot today–benefits of being done with school on my end: I’m online a lot–but now that I’m actually writing, I have a question about a character.
