Cloudy started the topic Short Story Idea (May turn into Novella) in the forum 9 years, 5 months ago
So I took a 6-day intensive on taming of the shrew. It ha quickly became my favorite Shakespeare play. So I wrote this blurb that would probably be stuck in the middle of the story somewhere:
The knight ride to the mouth of the cave. The afternoon light fell on him, dappled through the trees. The cave for which he had been seeking for o long…[Read more]

I’m bad with meter. I’m not done with the poetry curicculum and mom lost it like, two years ago. 🙁 But what meter would you suggest? I’ll look it up and try to tweak it. @daeus

I know I need to fix the narration. That’s why it’s in here! Thanks for the input! I’m glad you liked the ending. @jess

@winter-rose you’ll probably be done by the time I can write, but once I finish baking bread this afternoon, (I have to start by 2:00 p.m.) since the weather is spectacular, I’ll be in my favorite spot mapping out my children’s story. 😀

Congrats, Claire! @clairec
Here’s the thing–I’ve only recently started to outline any part of my stories whatsoever, so the outlines for my current WIP are more than a little scatterbrained.
What I find myself doing the most is writing a sort of outline where the plot points are emphasized–that way, I can fill in the blanks and add in the…[Read more]

Everyone here has already asked you a bunch of questions, but who’s your favorite author?
After I finish my AA, I’m going to be a creative writing major, and although I like writing poetry, it doesn’t come easily, so I definitely respect you for that.
Welcome to KP! *flies off to go brainstorm*

Today I reviewed Matthew 6:1-4. It’s funny how when I first memorized that small passage, it took me about half an hour but now it would take me about 10 minutes. Memorizing just gets easier and easier guys!

Tears trace themselves across his face,
His eyes, unmoving, staring into space.His heart feels dead inside him,
His heart turns cold and dim.His heart that once flamed with passion,
Now, is grim and ashen.His soul, though, still flames on,
And brings in him a new dawn.A flame of rage ignites his soul,
And he discovers his newfound…[Read more] -

Are any of you on all poetry? It’s a great free poetry platform. You can see its list of great features on their website, and I highly recommend it. (Also, btw, they offer a paid membership that is $2 ea. month) I recommend it in this area of the forum because you could get several good critiques out of it. And I’ll read whatever you post XD. I’m…[Read more]

@clairec
*confetti and pats you the back and shakes your hand vigorously*
1. How do you write extended outlines? — Usually, I write a three point outline, beginning, middle and end, and off of that I’ll write it chapter by chapter. While I’m doing the three point outline, many ideas for scenes will pop into my head, so I just write them down on…[Read more] -

@ClaireC *slaps you on the back enthusiastically* GO CLAIRE, THAT’S GREAT!!
1. I’m a bit of a recklessly slap out a rough outline and then dive straight on into the writing. It works for me.
2. My outlines usually only take me a month at most when I’m just roughly plotting it out and not going into any huge depth or anything. (For example, I…[Read more] -

@that_writer_girl_99 Heh, no, that wouldn’t end very well. 😛 I’m kinda scratching my head on how I gave that impression. I was just seconding what Gabrielle said:
They helped each other through their struggles. They helped each other grow. They actually had a relationship, if you know what I mean. Not just a you-look-pretty-we-work-well-together…

Kina Lamb replied to the topic The Legend of King Daeus in the forum Short Story Critiques 9 years, 5 months ago
ah, @dragon-snapper, I just had an idea. Daeus loves to sing, he’s always singing, and he sings really well. He loves symphonies, too. Oh, he loves symphonies! (Did I mention he wants to write one of his own?) If you could capture his love of music in your story, it would be really accurate. 😀

Kina Lamb replied to the topic The Legend of King Daeus in the forum Short Story Critiques 9 years, 5 months ago
@dragon-snapper I absolutely cannot believe that I didn’t see this earlier!!! Wow, this is great! Although…. I do have to say that Daeus isn’t like how you pictured him. He really is very kind and not at all controlling or desiring of power… 😀 But I do have to say, the part when “As they marched into the armory, Daeus conldn’t help but say,…[Read more]
