Kate Flournoy

Ramblers are welcome too! 😉

Thanks for joining the club, @kate-flournoy @hope @aella ! It sounds like we’re all stuck working on the nitty gritty, perhaps not-so-fun parts of our projects.

I’m working on procrastinating right now, which is going really well thus far . . . when I’m done, I might take another crack at finishing that…[Read more]

Aw, you’re welcome, @kate-flournoy ! Thank you, I’m really enjoying it. It’s good practice for editing or evaluating my own poetry. 🙂

I hadn’t intended to do an “in-depth evaluation” originally, but I liked your poem so much, and I found that trying to collect my thoughts about it in a simple reply, especially with all the different versions,…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy , that’s so cool! Battle songs rock:) Great minds, huh? Oh yes, my mind is most definitely great 😉

Hey @kate-flournoy ,

So I waited a while (to get a fresh perspective) and then read all of your different versions of the poem again, and, surprisingly, was more struck by the 2nd on the next read. The more rhythmic flow makes it somehow more rereadable, even though it’s less unexpected. I found that I liked something in-between the last two,…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy , I was flattered that you tagged me in this poem-problem-thingy. I didn’t reply sooner because I was (still am) working on some ideas/suggestions for your last poem, and because when I saw the length of this one I panicked . . . but I will read it soon, and let you know what I think:)

The first “note” is up! Check it out and let me know what y’all think! 😉

@kate-flournoy, Lovely thoughts! 😉
@daeus, Oh, yeah. I struggle with showing and not telling when I’m writing. A lot. @ingridrd and I were looking through some of our novel chapters after the convention, and we found soooo much telling…Thank God for rough drafts!

Yes @kate-flournoy! No no POV telling! Bad.

A big part of showing is setting a strong tone. This is never done with statements. It is done with symbols, senses, and subtext. In fact, those should be the main emphasis of any story: symbols, senses, and subtext with senses probably taking the priority.

Smell is very important, but so are sight,…[Read more]

@dbhgodreigns, Yes, I see what you’re saying. I completely agree about Tim Shoemaker’s books; they’re awesome!

We need to get @kate-flournoy and @daeus‘s thoughts on this topic. 😉

Thanks both of you.
(That’s ok @kate-flournoy, I had to ask my family not long ago, “What is Australia Day all about?” “And “What’s the capital of Australia?” *Some Aussie I am*)

@daeus how close is Upper Arlington to Centerburg? or @kate-flournoy 😀

Awesome job, @kate-flournoy! Love it! 😀

I loved the rhythm throughout the whole thing. Really cool. 🙂

@kate-flournoy Very punny. ;D But yeah. Darn. I agree. *continues to think*

@bluejay Ooooo. I like Sticky Notes. 😀 What if I called it “Staccato” and then had the metaphorical explanation of writing notes that stand out/are different? Or something with staccato? Or is it reaching again? xD

@kate-flournoy LOL!

What about “Say Something Noteworthy”?
