My assorted thoughts on this piece:
-As I said in my critique, the humor in this story is great and is still great this time around. Thumbs up from me for that.
-I second most of what other people have already said about the debit card and ticks.
-I really liked the parallels you were drawing between Anna and Savanna in terms of the spectrum…[Read more] -

XD Well, it was short. XD Definitely a noble effort on the part of all. 😀

I agree! 😀 Thanks for all of y’all’s help! You probably won’t want to look at the blog (or if you do, try not to be terribly disappointed) for a few days, ‘cuz I still have to wrangle the theme into submission and get some stuff up there. xD

Well, ladies and gentlemen, after many metaphorical tangents it has been created: https://notecardsblog.wordpress.com/. It’s like not developed at all, but the official title is “Notecards” thanks to @bluejay 😀

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic A letter for my story in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 1 month ago
The fact that he doesn’t hear whether or not she’s dead or alive before this letter, and doesn’t even try to find out, strikes me as odd, but I guess I could see a bully-type character being too embarrassed to do that and such. Anyways, onto the actual request, I’m going to try to put myself in the position of this character. Assuming that he…[Read more]

@faithdk – I have to give Kate credit for that one, if I’m remembering correctly.

What about “To Whom It May Concern”?! It’s got grammar nerd in it, a note writing type thing in it, and it’s clearly directed at the blog viewer. Maybe not too far fetched metaphorical?

Sarah Spradlin replied to the topic HALP! (Blog Titles Are Literally the Worst) in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 1 month ago
Maybe not staccato.. xD I am also open to going back to square one. Or we could call it “ILiterallyCannotTitle” and move on. xD

Sarah Spradlin replied to the topic HALP! (Blog Titles Are Literally the Worst) in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 1 month ago
LOL. It’s like a piece of the metaphor is missing. So, basically we’ve got the note part with just staccato–something that is set apart. What about Sharing Staccatos? The Staccatoed Storyteller? *beats head against the wall*

I still feel like there’s something missing… not sure what. >__< The struggle.

@writefury — Oooo! Or Staccatoed Notes?

Sarah Spradlin replied to the topic HALP! (Blog Titles Are Literally the Worst) in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 1 month ago
I like to pretend I can sometimes. xD I’m sure you’d put me to shame. 😉 What about “Speaking in Staccatos”? Or do just Staccato? Or do you have any ideas involving staccatos? xD I’m kinda thinking along the lines of ____ Staccatos, so maybe an adjective or a verb. Or something. xD Clearly I’m horrible at decision making.

Yes! That helps a lot! This reads like a ballad that a bard would sing in a tavern. 😀 I love it!

@kate-flournoy Very punny. ;D But yeah. Darn. I agree. *continues to think*
@bluejay Ooooo. I like Sticky Notes. 😀 What if I called it “Staccato” and then had the metaphorical explanation of writing notes that stand out/are different? Or something with staccato? Or is it reaching again? xD

@kate-flournoy LOL!
What about “Say Something Noteworthy”?

@daeus “Hey, ya know KPrs looks a lot like keepers. Maybe we could be the KPrs of the realm of the pen. Sounds like an order of warrior monks. We could all wear hoodies and swords and walk around saying “grace, peace, and high word counts to you my brother”.” All I’m gonna say is this is beautiful and it should be a thing. xD

@kate-flournoy LOL! Yeah, I kinda figured as much.
Ooooooooo. I really like “Noteworthy Musings.” Definitely getting closer. 😀 It has a pun. I am a huge proponent of puns. xD
