Corissa Maiden of Praise started the topic Sherlock Holmes in the forum 8 years, 1 month ago
Ah, this looks like the right place for this. @BlueJay 😀
So, who out there has read Sherlock Holmes and loved him? Or, dare I say it, hated him? *gasps* If you do hate him, please tell me why, because aside from a few swear words 😛 I thought they were some of the best stories I’ve ever read. In one of the books, Sir Doyle did something that…[Read more]

I’m interested in a few beta readers for a story called “The Golden Conch” Do I have a few volunteers?

Corissa Maiden of Praise replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
@BlueJay Sounds like a blast! 😀
Hey, this may sound like a completely random question (maybe because it is :P) But have you ever read any Sherlock Holmes? I recently decided to read them, and (aside from a few swear words 😛 ) I was blown away by how wonderful they were. *disclaimer: it’s generally Americans swearing. I assure you that this is…[Read more]

Gather, fellow knights and warriors of this realm!
@Overcomer and I had an idea a little bit ago for the fall. Because summer is now over, (yay–Fall!) that means that The Awesome Summer Writing Club is no longer summery. So, without further ado, I will begin a new topic with the same principal.

Corissa Maiden of Praise replied to the topic You know you are a writer when… in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
@hope I kind of have a reputation for crazy dreams… and for loving the most dangerous ones. 🙂
I (recently) slept in a 3 1/2 by 4 1/2 tent with one thin blanket and my oldest pillow to see what tight confinement would feel like. 😉 I’m blaming that on being a writer. I needed the experience. 😀
Although it paid off in dream-land too, since I…[Read more]

Corissa Maiden of Praise replied to the topic You know you are a writer when… in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
You know you’re a writer when you decide something specific should happen to the characters you’ve been reading about, and then you finish all the stories and it doesn’t… so you dream about it instead. 🙂
Sherlock Holmes, anyone?

Corissa Maiden of Praise replied to the topic MBTI in the forum Characters 8 years, 1 month ago
MBTI is fun… and confusing. 😉
I’ve taken the test a couple of times. I’m kind of both an ENTP and an ENTJ. I’m not sure which one is stronger. I’m barely extrovert thought; some days I’m quite certain I would be introvert. 😛 😉

Corissa Maiden of Praise started the topic Take Thou Mine Hand in the forum Poetry 8 years, 1 month ago
I used to write poetry quite a bit. Not that any of it was any good, but… I was published once. (I don’t know whether any of you receive Clubhouse magazine or not, but that’s where it was.)

And a big thank you to all the people who brainstormed for me. I know some of you didn’t make it here before I cleared the topic, but I have figured out what to do. Grazie. 🙂

You are most welcome, friend! 🙂 Glad you got it figured out. Happy writing!
-
@spradlin 🙂 *whispers* It’s ready for beta readers now. Psst, @daeus are you interested in reading “the Golden Conch”?
How many people should I send it to in at once?-
@bluejay Yes, I am interested, but I’m a little swamped right now. I’m beta reading two other novels and Kate might send me the second piece of hers any time. Would it be alright if I postpone for a month?
-
LOL! Wish I had time to do the thing. SUBMIT IT WHEN YOU’RE DONE THOUGH! cuz that’s the cool thing to do. xD
-
When it’s done, it will be coming your way. But I hope you have patience cause I have a feeling it might be some time… XD

Haha! Not a problem! Can’t wait to see it. 🙂

@Bluejay I’d love to, but unfortunately I’m way to busy right now to take on any extra projects. Keep me on the list though. 😉 Perhaps a later draft…

@hope No, you’re not wrong. It is a sea shell. I feel as if I need to find one and experiment with it. 😉

It would have to be a pretty thin sea shell to break when dropped on a wood floor. I have small ones and they’re pretty tough, though if it were stepped on… But a large one wouldn’t be stepped on, and if it’s large then it’s probably thick so if it broke, it might just break in half…?

Can you give it a comparison @hope?
-
Rather than just a high tinkling or cracking sound, but like the sound of glass or a branch?
-
*winces* *rubs forehead* Let’s see…
I’m assuming it’s not an egg, or else it would just give a mushy splat. (Though I may be wrong…tell me if I am.) The problem is I’ve never actually heard a shell breaking, but if I were to take a guess I might compare a shell breaking to brittle crunch, the shattering of thin glass, or the cracking of a stone…

So, (here in Virginia, anyway,) it is the (gasp!) last day of Summer! (Or maybe it’s tomorrow. We’ll stretch it into two days for extra effect) 😉 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?

Me! Me! Pick me! *calms down* Please? (you can get my email securely from @hope)
If @hope is alright with that, we can go through her, or you can send your email address to @spradlin and I’ll take it from there.
@BlueJay Okay, either way works for me… what’s @spradlin‘s email?
kingdompenmag@gmail.com 🙂 So send her your email address and she can forward it on to me.
@BlueJay Done! I can’t wait to read it! 🙂
(Also FYI I’m signing off for now… *see* you tomorrow… or later *today* if I get up before you go to bed. 😉 )
@corissa-maiden-of-praise You’ll have to be up before 6 (for you) to do that. And I’ll be watching a movie with my family so I wouldn’t be able to write anyway. 🙂
Did I hear someone say, “beta readers?” That’s sounds like fun! What do I do?
@overcomer Happy doing what I just suggested to @corissa-maiden-of-praise?
I’ll give it a shot. 🙂 @spradlin should have my email since we’ve written back and forth a few times over K.P. stuff.
You got it!
@overcomer That’s probably the best way. @spradlin Can you send it to me?
Thanks, @spradlin ! 🙂
I can. I shouldn’t be too busy to read something short next month.
@anna-brie I have your email so I can send you the story. (as for short, it is 15 pages long) 🙂
@bluejay Me too!!! 🙂 I’ll post my email and then delete it, so it will only show up in your notifications. At least, I hope it works that way. 🙂
@bluejay I’m afraid I can’t beta read it this month. *scowls while looking over scheduled* I’ve probably too many projects going as it is… Not that I care, but my brain is warning me against accepting another one at this point so I should wait…
