@jenwriter17  I know this a late response, but I have had this same “issue” (if you can call it that).  🙂  It has bothered me that I can’t get past a certain number of words for a story.  What I’ve come to realize is that I just need to write what is necessary.  If my story is finished in 30,000 words, so be it!  And the next round of editi…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  OH, gotcha!  I totally get it.  Thanks for your willingness.  🙂

There is some shuffling, then more silence.

“Brek, what—?”

The door bursts open.

@ariel-ashira Well, this isn’t really something I think about a whole lot because I tend to have a good grip on my characters so I just always do what feels right for them and it pretty much turns out. I guess though personally, if I had a brother I thought was dead show up alive I would probably rush him and hug him.

@alia @bekreations  *beam*  Thanks for bringin’ this back, guys!  I don’t know what to add, but…  🙂  *thumbs up*

@ariella-newheart  Why thank you.  🙂  And I love your version of Aspen!!!

@jenwriter17 Yeah, what Kate said is huge. If you have part 2 of my Show Don’t Tell Course, I have a whole lesson on live scenes there, but basically a live scene is the literary version of a camera taking in everything that’s happening in a scene.

@notawriter  Oh, I’m so glad you like her!

@sarah-anson  Those are epic!!!  🙂

@catwing  I love those!!!  🙂

@rochellaine Yes, I’ve dearly missed the Corner! I’m just fine. Gonna do some plotting! *rubs hands together*

@seekjustice @rochellaine

*appears suddenly* I am here! For a brief time. If I disappear suddenly, do not be alarmed, that’s just the Wi-Fi kicking off. 😛

@jenwriter I like more of the traditional, not-so-modern sounding music. XD. Well…sometimes I like more popular Christian, but it really depends.

Sarah Sparks!! Oh my gosh. Her Narnia music is so beautiful.

Keith and Kristyn Getty have some pretty good stuff too.

Shane and Shane have some good music as well.

@daeus  Sure thing!  Wow, that’s rough.

Hey friends,

Could you pray for a friend of the family? The dad just died in a car accident, leaving behind a wife and ten or eleven kids. 😢

Oops.  @daughteroftheking

@daugtheroftheking  Oh ho.  Me likey.  😉

@notawriter  I can’t remember if you’re on a hiatus or not, but I thought I’d tag you again just in case you missed this.  🙂
