@filewriterbase13x Yay! I’ll try to get to this Monday or Tuesday 🙂

@filewriterbase13x It’s not that I didn’t like Madelyn. I just found Frederick especially interesting. 🙂 Sorry if I’m being too critical…the story is good.

Ah, cool. I was wondering about that a bit, but I haven’t seen many typos. Part Four made me anxious for the next one.

*creeps into forum* I have a couple more prompts. *rubs hands together*

“I’m tougher than I look.”

“Good, because you look like a kitten with the heart of a marshmallow.”

In the future, everyone wears glasses that allow them to see warnings the government issues about people. You’re in a bookstore one night when you glance at a shy-looking…[Read more]

@ashlyvye I was recently talking about POVs with my fellow writer friend (Hi, @princessfoo ! *waves*) and something she pointed out about multiple POVs is that one is often more interesting than the other. So, the question is, is Macx’s POV more interesting to readers than Haylie’s? Will they wish you would switch back to Haylie’s more often, or…[Read more]

@catwing XD

@filewriterbase13x That’s a nice start to a story. Here’s my honest critique.

1) I would almost say it’s too detailed. Let me explain: in chapter 1 there’s a lot of backstory and explaining of the MC’s past. To me it kind of bogged down the story. I would suggest telling some of it but saving other parts for later. It would also increase…[Read more]

Second degree burns. Fun  😉

Do not apply lotions, ointment or fats to the burn for starters, just so we have that out of the way.

Do  not remove any clothing or jewellery stuck to the burn either.

Holding a burn under running water is the best way to treat it. If there isn’t any running water, pouring water over the wound will d…[Read more]

@Rochellaine

Okay, I can see that. We don’t have to argue about it 😛 You’re probably right, so I’ll have a look at it and work out how to change it. After all, it’s only one sentence, not a whole chapter thing 😀

@skredder

I’m going to post it once I’ve eaten lunch 🙂

I often work on short stories between working on novels, I find it lots of fun trying to condense a story into so few words (most of my short stories are under 2000 words)

They’re great for experimenting too!

@Rochellaine

Yep I got your comment. I’ll have to reread the section though. I…[Read more]

@skredder Oh, cool! I love writing short stories! Do you write many?

I’m wading through my novel, trying to get to the end of Part 2!

@skredder I’m on,  but I’m about to go for lunch. What project are you working on?

@rochellaine

Okay, see you seen 😀

Okay, I am tired.

@rochellaine

Okay, see you seen 😀

@catwing bye! (I’ll probably hear it soon)

@rochellaine

Um…no…not really. it’s bad news, but it hasn’t freaked me out…not yet anyway. No I hadn’t heard yet.

Well, we do. I mean, my dad does, and we just listen and nod and pretend we understand what he’s talking about.

@rochellaine

Wow. And Australia is concerned about cheating in cricket. That literally tells you all you need to know about our esteemed country.

I’ll be praying though. (Except, when will our world learn that world wars solve very little)

@rochellaine

Oh yay! I just got back too. I was having an intense, no-internet writing period 😀

Um, no? Australia is currently absorbed in the Commonwealth games, football season and the fact that the Australian cricket team is a cheating disgrace and I haven’t heard anything else for weeks. What’s happened?

@catwing

Just don’t get distracted 😛

@rochellaine

Yeah, I’ll probably be on later. I’m hoping to spend most of today writing, since it’s Saturday here  and I have no other commitments at the moment!

@catwing

That’s great, I love gif searching and do it way too much!

@catwing

Cool! How’s it going?

@rochellaine @skredder @catwing @jess-penrose

Anyone around? I think I’m in need of a word warring partner 😀
