Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic The (Awesome) Summer Writing Club! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month 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 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?

Well for those of you who don’t know today is @anne-swiftblade‘s aka Sarah van den Ham’s 16th birthday! I figured we should all celebrate this wonderful day of her birth. So throw around those hearty huzzah’s, @daeus you can supply us with all the cookies and ice cream and we’ll have a jolly good time. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

@sarah-h Praying! I’m trying to learn Spanish right now too, and it looks like there’s a couple of other people on here trying to learn as well… maybe we should make a “Spanish Only” topic. That way we can get some extra practice in. 😉
I have a prayer request. Neither of our cars are working right now; we’ve borrowed one from my grandparents…[Read more]

I’ll start.
I’m one of the crew for a Kid’s bible club at our church these school holidays (in Australia)
Among many things, I’m a small group leader, I’m playing Mary Magdalene in our skit (and I have the responsibility of presenting the gospel message in that) and I’m leading the memory verse on the guitar. Please pray that God would give me…[Read more] -

Write your prayer request and tag at least 5 people to pray for you (so someone definitely sees it.) If you’re tagged as a pray-er then add that person’s request to your personal list, and pray faithfully for them. And prayer-requester, don’t forget to notify your pray-ers when your request is answered, even if it’s not answered in the way you…[Read more]

@Daeus – Thank you, and it is very similar. I was actually in Ohio for three weeks in July helping my aunt. Could I have that ice cream? I haven’t had any in two days!
@Dragon Snapper – I might have a spare crown or necklace or two I could give you. Though Robin prefers giving the gold to the poor and ailing, not dragons. But I might be able to…[Read more]

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…

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.
