@jess-penrose I actually disappeared right after you did, and am now just back myself. 😉

My brother said his opinion is that since Uncle Bill is a figment of my imagination and therefore is a part of me, he knows what I know, so he knows that he’s been there two weeks.  But, my brother also said that since I control my imagination, Uncle Bill…[Read more]

@jess-penrose Do you think that storybook time feels the same as real time?  Because in the book Uncle Bill has only been over the cliff for three or four hours.  Does he know that he’s really been stuck there for two weeks, or does he just sleep in unknowing blackness whenever I stop writing?  Okay, after reading what I just wrote I think I’m go…[Read more]

@jess-penrose Well, I just sent an email confirming the schedule of a book signing event at a bookstore… *quakes in nervousness*

Now I’ll be getting back to writing, and attempt to finally rescue my character Uncle Bill. (He’s been stuck fallen off a cliff for at least two weeks! 😮 )

Do you know who my favorite impulsive character is? …[Read more]

@jess-penrose Hi!  How is your writing going?

Anyone want to join me in writing? @seekjustice @jess-penrose @catwing @alia

@jess-penrose No, you haven’t told me about passive voice yet. 🙂

@seekjustice That’s good to know I’m not alone. 😀

@rochellaine

Farewell 🙁

@jess-penrose

I should probably get lunch too. Bye!

@rochellaine

Farewell 🙁

@jess-penrose

How’s your writing going?

@catwing Goodnight!

@seekjustice @jess-penrose I’m actually going to say goodbye now too.  I don’t know if I’ll be back tonight, but probably not.  So goodnight!

@jess-penrose

Ah no, I don’t think she did. It was fun anyway though!

@jess-penrose 🙂

@catwing I have trouble with showing not telling as well, so much of my editing involves fixing it! You are not alone in this struggle!

@Rochellaine i don’t think we were supposed to, but Jess did and I liked my last line so I did too!

I hope your confusion lessens some time soon 🙂

@seekjustice Yes…Someday. 😛  Of course I thank you!  But my fingers are feeling confused right now, since they don’t know where to go.

@jess-penrose Oh, are we supposed to give our last lines?  I’ve never done that before.  But mine was kind of weird… “With a quick shove, Chara managed to stand up, and then toppled…”  😉 😀

@jess-penrose Yeah, I have trouble showing, not telling. 🙁
Maybe after I go through all these and get the revised doc to you. I’m revising it in a different doc. 🙂
Just wondering, did you think I needed to develop the characters more?

@rochellaine @seekjustice I have to go to bed. Good night.

@jess-penrose

My last line was:

above the din came Errol’s voice, but I could not distinguish his words from the rest of the chaos.

your last line is very interesting too 😉

@Rochellaine

Sorry, you’ll thank me one day though (or maybe not)

@jess-penrose Okay.  That was the absolute worst performance I have ever given in a word war!  I got 203 words written, which I believe is half of my lowest score ever!

@seekjustice I am going to blame you. 😉  After all that horrible slashing and cutting you did to my story I hardly know where I am anymore! 😛

@jess-penrose @rochellaine

Me too! I got 375. How’d you guys go?

@jess-penrose @rochellaine

Ten minutes, sounds good!

@jess-penrose @seekjustice Ending at :26 works for me.

@jess-penrose

Yeah, mate 😉
