Mallory O'Bier started the topic Editing Advice (Poem) in the forum Poetry Critiques 9 years, 7 months ago
Hey, 🙂
So, I have this poem from last year that I know needs some work, (ahem, a lot) but before I hacked it to pieces I thought I would share it first and see what y’all think.
Does it make any sense? Do you have any suggestions? Any ideas? Give me your harshest criticism! Hahaha! 😉 (Seriously, please do! And tell me if it’s terrible!…[Read more]

BlueJay posted an update 9 years, 7 months ago
I have got BIG news. (No I didn’t just get engaged.) I entered a writing competition a few months ago and the presentation for the prizes was last night. I had just moved out of the 14-18yrs, so I was against adults. *nervous gulp* But here are the results.
Adult short story – Anna’s Savanna – 1st place

@Julia-R
My grandparents live in Michigan, and my mom and dad went to Mackinac Island for their anniversary one year (I’m @ingridrd‘s sister 😉 ). I personally have never been there, but I’d love to go sometime. 🙂
Awesome choices for Disney characters! Rey and Rapunzel are both great characters.
Ooo, I love watercolor and acrylics, too! I’m…[Read more] -

@Christi-eaton: I’d love to see your work! I’m not the best at shading but I’m pretty good at copying pictures. I’ll have to post a few of my paintings and sketches. As far as Disneland food goes, have you ever had a Dole Whip from the Tiki Juice Bar in Adventureland? According to the Internet, they are amazing.

Greta replied to the topic How naming affects characterization in the forum Characters 9 years, 7 months ago
@anna-brie
Great topic, Anna! Thanks for bringing it up. 🙂 I absolutely love making up character names and learning the meanings behind the names!
I think a villain’s name usually contains hard sounds (as @ingridrd said). I don’t know if that’s because it makes the villains sound harsher and harder or for some other reason, but it seems that…[Read more] -

Snapper started the topic Why We Do This in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 8 months ago
Hey, everyone!
I was just thinking about writing (granted, I’m always thinking about writing, but that’s beside the point). Why do we do it? Why do we want to put a bunch of words onto a page; make remixes of the Dictionary? What motivates us?
Writer’s Block, in my opinion, is just lack of motivation, so, I was thinking that each of us writers…[Read more] -

Wow!! Way to go, @Bluejay! Great work! Congratulations! So proud of you. 😀
@kate-flournoy Oh, thanks. 🙂 I was so shocked when it happened. 😀
Wow, @bluejay , that’s awesome! 😀
I hope we get to read some of this stuff …
@overcomer *taps side of nose* You might… *mysterious grin* 😀
And thanks. 🙂
That’s fantastic and super exciting! Congratulations! I love the fact that we have amazing KeePers who are sharing their stories. Great work! 🙂 🙂 🙂
From stories shared, we learn. 🙂 @christi-eaton I should go in for quote making. 😛
You totally should @bluejay 🙂 Who knows I may have to use some of your stuff. I love quotes, and accidentally stumbling across good ones 🙂
Sweet @bluejay! 🙂
😉 @daeus Totally (please tell me that you’ve seen Finding Nemo.)
@bluejay I have. What does that have to do with this?
@daeus How can you have watched it and still not know? *faints* Think, man, think. @julia-r Do you know?
Uum, I really don’t know. It’s been several years.
Oh okay. I’ll tell you. Actually, I’ll give you a hint. Think turtles. 🙂
Yup. Welcome to the EAC! Loved the little cameo in Finding Dory.
I got it! 😀
@christi-eaton & @julia-r Yay! You got it. 🙂
@bluejay– Awesome! That’s so cool! Writing competitions scare me. Way to be brave!
@julia-r Writing competitions can be scary. I felt sick as we were driving over. But it is a great reward for all the hard work put into story writing.
Congratulations! That’s really exciting. You keep writing those stories, and someday you’ll make a difference in the world.
@anna-brie I hope to make a difference one day. My younger sister wants to publish a set of stories about a cat called Chaos, that I’ve written, so maybe one day….
Woo Hoo! Way to go, @bluejay
@clairec Thank you. 🙂
Congratulations, @bluejay!!!!!! That is so exciting!
@hope I still can’t believe that it’s happened!!!!!!! Thanks.
@dragon-snapper Finding writing competitions is definitely hard. I only know one or two.
*grins* No worries. *takes one of the ice creams and sits licking it happily*
@dragon-snapper For some reason your comment has disappeared. 🙁 Did you want to write a new one? 😉
*sniffs pitifully* It doesn’t like me!!! Wahhh!
Anyways, I said something about finding KP in my search for writing competitions, and Congratulations!
@dragon-snapper I think it was partly my fault. Did you “reply” to the comment I sent to Hope. Cause I found a spelling error in my message, after you had posted, and so I deleted it and made a new message and it probably took yours too. You can go to you history if you wanted to find out what you said.
DUDETTE!!!! THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!! *high fives all around* SERIOUSLY AWESOME JOB! I am so proud of you! 😀 😀 😀
*returns high five* Ah, thanks Sarah. 😀 😀 😀
Oh, wow @bluejay! That’s awesome! Much applause! 😀
🙂 😀 🙂 😀 🙂 😀 🙂 😀 Thank you. 🙂 😀 🙂 😀 🙂 😀 🙂 😀 🙂
Yay!!! That’s so exciting! I would’ve been so nervous to go up against adults. Good for you! 🙂 Would you mind posting Chaos and The Drummer Boy? I’d sure like to read them. 🙂
@sarah-h I was nervous. Extremely nervous. I only expected a highly commended. I will definitely let you read Chaos and The Drummer Boy. I shall send them to @spradlin for publishing. (Only with Chaos, it’s a series of stories which if you read number 3. (which this one is) it won’t make much sense. I shall have to send in 1 & 2.
@bluejay Great! I can’t wait to read them! 🙂
Hey, hey! @bluejay That’s awesome! 😀 😀 😀 😀 CONGRATULATIONS. <3
Thanks @gretald
So happy for you, @bluejay! Congratulations!
@ingridrd 🙂 😀 🙂 😀 Thanks.
You rock, dude! (How’s that for a Finding Nemo reference. 😛 )
You won ALL the categories??!!
@BlueJay
Sweet…..Totally! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 There were more categories, but those four were the ones I entered. 🙂
So you won all four of the ones you entered!!
That is just…wow.
@emma-flournoy I only got an encouragement award for one of the categories. 🙂
Oh whoops…it says that. 😛
But still!
Wow–that’s awesome @bluejay! Congrats!!!
Thanks @aratrea 🙂
@jadamae Thank you. Well, I thought people might get a bit confused as we had just been told BIG news and then I said I had BIG news. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Aw @winter-rose Thank you.
You guys are all so awesome. 🙂
