Well, I’m gonna have to jump out at :13. I wrote 314 in a short story for @gracie-j writing prompt contest. 🙂 Last line:

And when I persisted, he grudgingly sent me here, saying if I found some gem, he would crown me king.

@lydia-s

Awesome, then I’ll join at :50

@lewilliams Yeah, I get that. I’ve been trying to read more, too!!! Alrighty, *rubs hands together eagerly* I’m always down for giving out awesome recs. I don’t know if any of this will interest you, since I’m normally a loner in the books I enjoy. XD But I just recently read Fawkes by Nadine Brandes and Dust by Kara Swanson and they were SO…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Are you still going?

@relia I’d choose to have another job as well, either as a dog trainer or a speech pathologist. I love writing, but it could never be more of a side job for me. I’m a hands on person and I would need to be out in the world in order to actually write good things.

@kathleenramm

That is so incredibly cute! And I think we need a sequel to that short story about the janitor 😛

Occasionally little things I’ve experienced make it into stories of mine, but one thing that happened actually made it into the work I am possibly most proud of, a short story I wrote a few years back. Essentially, my family had lunch…[Read more]

@relia I’m not British, so if there’s any Britishers on here, please feel free to tell me I’m an idiot.

Anyway, I’m Australian and we tend to swear a lot and very similarly to British people, for obvious reasons. “Bl**dy” (censoring because I don’t know everyone on here’s personal views on certain words), h**l and d*mn are all pretty “low level”…[Read more]

@nanisnook

Yeah, I get what you mean. Almost anything can be easier or harder depending on the situation.

Have you ever based characters on other people in your life?

@seekjustice

I hope you have better days soon.  You’re in my prayers.  Congratulations on the job offer!  That’s wonderful! 😀  I keep feeling it’s kind of weird that we’re all grown up now… 😛  do you?

I’m doing great.  Settling in well to married life. 🙂  It has been strange living so far away from my family now, but they visit pretty…[Read more]

@nanisnook

I usually force myself to keep going through the scene. Usually all it needs is a few hundred more words and then I’m writing freely again. Having said that, in one of my last WIPs I got really stuck at a large portion and completely skipped four or five chapters and just kept going. It depends on what works for you really.…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Welcome back! I’ve not been very active here myself, but if you’re hanging around again, that’s more motivation for me too 😀

I’m drowning. It’s been more stressful lately since I’m being scheduled for a transfer (where to is not known yet). There’s no end to work, but hopefully things will look up after that.

I’m continuing to…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hello! I’m having an absolutely horrible day and just seeing your little username pop up in my emails has made it a little better.

I’m doing…well, ok, but I’ve definitely been better. However, my job is going really well, abd I’ve just been offered a permanent position which is absolutely amazing! My dogs are good! Unfortunately a…[Read more]

@nanisnook

Well, most of the time I just push right through it, but if a scene’s coming up and I don’t know what’s gonna happen AND I just don’t feel like writing it, I’ll just put: something really cool happens and move on. I’ve only ever done that once, tho, so it’s no a super common thing for me. 😉

@ariel-f

Camille can make you spill all your secrets and publish them? Woah, she’s on a another level. Not necessarily a higher one but definitely a different one. XD

@nanisnook

It’s cool how you modeled Tess after yourself! It would be very interesting going to brunch with someone very similar to yourself.

Just a bit curious, do you find it…[Read more]

@gracie-j

So cool! I’m a bit caught up in the throws of my novel, but I can’t wait to read all the winners!

@faith-q

Hi! Welcome to the forum! I’m Kathleen and it’s awesome to have you!

Seven siblings! I’m not too far behind with six. Though, at the moment it kinda feels like I only have three since the rest moved out. XD

It’s so cool that your learning three languages! My sister sister is fluent in Korean and Japanese, so she really inspires me to…[Read more]

@iluvhim18 These are GREAT!!!!!!!😄😆 I love them!!!!!!! I’ll try to get into the swing of writing again so I can post last lines. 😉

@gracie-j Awesome!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!! 😀 I’m excited to start writing!!!!!!! No problem! 😉 I’m the same way!!! It’s like I remember people’s names, but I forget their tag/username.😂

@ribbonash You’re welcome, girl!!!<3
