@zcpeterson
Well hello and welcome (officially) to the bestistest place on the internet! 🙂 What are some of your favorite books? POETRY! Yes. I like poetry. 🙂 I think I remember one of your poems that was posted on the website. It was a really good poem, I remember. 🙂
@kate-flournoy Congratulations on your fantabulous word masterpiece.…[Read more] -

You know you’re a writer when you decide something specific should happen to the characters you’ve been reading about, and then you finish all the stories and it doesn’t… so you dream about it instead. 🙂
Sherlock Holmes, anyone?

Corissa Maiden of Praise replied to the topic MBTI in the forum Characters 10 years ago
MBTI is fun… and confusing. 😉
I’ve taken the test a couple of times. I’m kind of both an ENTP and an ENTJ. I’m not sure which one is stronger. I’m barely extrovert thought; some days I’m quite certain I would be introvert. 😛 😉

I used to write poetry quite a bit. Not that any of it was any good, but… I was published once. (I don’t know whether any of you receive Clubhouse magazine or not, but that’s where it was.)

@ZCPeterson, please don’t be scared. We’re all perfectly harmless, I assure you. (well, except for our various collections of sharp and very deadly weapons… but we can’t use those over the internet, so you should be safe. 😉 )
@BlueJay I think you know perfectly well what I mean. 😉

Well, @kate-flournoy, uh …
I haven’t finished a draft of my novel yet, but I’m still writing it, as well as editing another poem.
It’s not exactly the results I was looking for, but I’m pretty happy with it. I’ve had writer’s block. I beat it. I’ve had doubts. They are gone. (ish) I am still writing, and that is what matters. 🙂

@BlueJay Oh, come doctor; I thought you always knew you were working in the loony bin. Or the funny farm, whichever you prefer. *imitates @kate-flournoy‘s evil grin*
And… I may have been faking the tummy ache for dramatic effect. (or is it affect? Those two have always bothered me…) 😉 But thank you for the cool cloth! It felt wonderful!

@kate-flournoy That’s fantabulous that you made up a new word. *giggles*

Need a bit of help here. Now I don’t want to say too much because of spoilers, but HELP!
*ahem, ahem. What noise comes to your mind when you think of a shell (reasonably big) breaking and falling onto a wooden floor?
But you have to make sure that your audience doesn’t know what has happened?
@kate-flournoy @faithdk @emma-flournoy @christi-eaton @d…[Read more]-
Like shattering glass, perhaps with a duller ring to it as the wood would absorb a lot of the sound and the shell is hollow, besides.
@Bluejay-
Hmmmm… I’d have to agree with Kate. It doesn’t quite have the tinkling resonance you’d expect from glass (because I have dropped many a glass in my days). Almost like what I’d imagine a pot shattering would sound like, if you want to use a comparison.
-
You’re not the only one to drop glasses. *I managed to drop a jar of Vegemite once. It was rather a mess*
Yes, I’m wanting a comparison. Originally I had, “the sound of a thousand stones falling to the ground.” But I don’t think it would shatter like that or make that sound.
-
-
-
Well, it also depends on the type of wood floor it is. Is it actual, solid wood? (unfortunately this seems to be becoming rarer, at least in my area) Or is it laminate wood floor? The sound would be different if it is.
-
Oh yes, and just to clarify, it breaks after it hits the wood floor, right? The way you worded it kind of suggested it breaks before hitting… *grins mischievously*
-
-
*grins back* Shhh…it breaks before it hits the ground. It is the good old solid wooden floor. @corissa-maiden-of-praise.
-
@BlueJay Well, that changes things. *ponders* Perhaps… well, how does it break then? We must take that into account if we are to accurately describe the sound. 😉
-
@corissa-maiden-of-praise You’re prying! You just want to know what happens don’t you??? 😉 *suspicious stare* It gets whacked on someone’s head. *A hard head* 🙂 *sniggers*

Goodness, this sounds terribly exciting. I can’t wait to read it! 🙂

@bluejay, Ahhh! This is a really hard question. I honestly can’t think of anything except what everyone else has already said, so, um, yeah! 🙂
-
Thanks @winter-rose That was what I was thinking too, but I wasn’t sure that a clay jar fitted as an example, so I reworded it and I ‘think’ I’ve got it.
@corissa-maiden-of-praise Glad you think so. One day…-
@BlueJay Whenever anything is cracked over someone’s head, you can generally count on the story being exciting. 😀

@bluejay, sounds like you’ve got it already, but I agree with the others—like pottery, just a little clearer and harder.

*Boohoo.* I haven’t seen that movie, but I can guess….. Number three of Narnia. I’ve only seen the first two. Three is in waiting. I’m dying to watch it. *falls to the floor sobbing her heart out.*

You are most welcome, friend! 🙂 Glad you got it figured out. Happy writing!
@spradlin 🙂 *whispers* It’s ready for beta readers now. Psst, @daeus are you interested in reading “the Golden Conch”?
How many people should I send it to in at once?
@bluejay Yes, I am interested, but I’m a little swamped right now. I’m beta reading two other novels and Kate might send me the second piece of hers any time. Would it be alright if I postpone for a month?
Sure. @daeus
Btw I’m not sure you ever saw this so I’m posting it again, is this a haiku poem?
Soft kittens are cute
Fun to hold and to play with
Be very gentle.
🙂
@bluejay Yep.
Oh good. My youngest sister had to write one for school. She’ll be pleased to know that it was right. 🙂
LOL! Wish I had time to do the thing. SUBMIT IT WHEN YOU’RE DONE THOUGH! cuz that’s the cool thing to do. xD
When it’s done, it will be coming your way. But I hope you have patience cause I have a feeling it might be some time… XD
Haha! Not a problem! Can’t wait to see it. 🙂
@Bluejay I’d love to, but unfortunately I’m way to busy right now to take on any extra projects. Keep me on the list though. 😉 Perhaps a later draft…
