@writefury YAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!! *does impromptu jig* 😉

@writefury really!? Wow… I actually thought it was too understated. I should have had him trip over the edge of the sidewalk or something. 😉
I guess it helps that I’ve had a lot of practice working with this character-type before… *sly wink*

@Spradlin COOL!!!!!! I was familiar with the concept, but I’d never heard it called that before. Now I know! 😉 Nice work, @Vanna.

@Hope it can work in whatever you want it to. So what if it’s usually considered scifi? Challenge perceptions! Force people to think outside the box! Conquer the world! *shakes fist over head, glowers out over whoever is listening*

😉

Hm, let’s see now. If the Reflection is a reflection, then the real world must be… um… yeah. Physical.…[Read more]

Awesome topic @Hope. My all time favorite writing scripture is Ecclesiastes 12:11:

The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd.

It reminds me not only of the power we wield (and have a responsibility to wield responsibly) but also of Who gave us that power, and ultimately…[Read more]

@Hannah-C I’m so sorry. I think losing a story is even worse than getting rejected. That happened to me once; well, I’d backed-up fairly regularly so I only lost a few chapters but still…it was several days worth of work. And I discovered several other things I’d lost in the computer crash weeks or months later when I went looking for them. ;( I…[Read more]

@Daeus that’s sounding more and more like a very wise idea. 😀

Oh no, @Hannah-C! That’s awful. I’m so sorry. *weeps in sympathy* Thankfully nothing this dire has ever happened to me. It almost did once— I accidentally hit ctrl-A (highlight) instead of ctrl-S (save) then continued typing before the command had fully gone through… and you know when you highlight something and keep typing, whatever you keep…[Read more]

I’ve got a bit more editing if anyone is interested???????? 🙂 Anyone????

I got my editing done earlier @daeus. I’m not sure how many words, but I got a short story fixed up. 🙂

@Jadamae she’s a bit of a perfectionist… 😉

For me, I think it would be the refreshing simplicity of the style coupled with the strength and complexity of the allegory. There’s always something you didn’t notice before; always something else to remark on and think over. And it doesn’t require say, two weeks of commitment. Like the Count of Monte Cristo would. 😛 It can be read through in a…[Read more]

I’ve got some editing to do if anyone wants to tag along. I’ll be jumping up and down as I have stuff to do, but I’ve got some spare time to write.
@kate-flournoy, @hannah-c, @daeus, @jadamae

Oh and a frowny face is done with : ( 🙁

Sorry @emma-flournoy. Just woken up. *yawn* And yes I did know where the quote came from, but when I logged in I forgot to say. *Me and my great memory* Anyway it comes from the Hobbit and to be more precise it is when Beorn meets the dwarves and Gandalf. 🙂 Am I right?

@Overcomer that’s true. Come to think of it, though I was frightened of scary images (extraterrestrials, bears with huge teeth, sharks, etc.) the one thing that scared me most when my dad read us ‘Scottish Chiefs’, for instance, was Marion’s death. And it didn’t scare me because of the violence itself. It scared me because I couldn’t understand…[Read more]
