Thanks, @kate-flournoy! Thanks for replying, I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😀 I might have to use Holt again sometime. This is his only story as of yet. 😛

Yeah, those characters are really fun to write; I just get really annoyed with her in the story. 😛 @kate-flournoy

Greta replied to the topic Character Names in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 8 months ago
Cool @rolena-hatfield! I love the name Miret. 🙂
Thanks! Madam Munch really is quite the character, and she is a bit like a mouse @kate-flournoy. 😛 She’s one of those characters who’s supposed to get you really annoyed, so I’d say she’s probably one of my least favorite characters in the novel.

@kate-flournoy – I love it when Anna recites, but I also like in the 2nd one when Emiline reads it aloud in class. And when she acts in Mary, Queen of Scots too. 😀
But my favourite part in the movie is with the fireworks. We once had a pet lamb in the house (with a nappy on :P) and she had fallen asleep at our feet while we were watching it and…[Read more] -

@bluejay I’m sorry but I just can’t help but jump in! I love Anne of Green Gables. (though I’ve only seen the first and second film). I just watched the first two films with some friends this past weekend. That scene were she acts out The Lady of Shallot poem is one of my favorites! I grew up watching those two movies and actually didn’t…[Read more]

BlueJay replied to the topic Writer's Block. in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 8 months ago
@kate-flournoy – Have you ever seen Anne of Green Gables number one or two? In that movie she repeats from the Lady of Shalott all the time. “Willows whiten, aspens shiver, little breezes dance and shiver.” Or something like that. I have never actually read the entire thing but what is used in Anne is so good. Like the time she nearly drowned…[Read more]

@daeus and @kate-flournoy – You have made me laugh so hard. 😀
Thanks @kate-flournoy for your suggestion. I’ll have a look at changing it.
As to poetry…hmmmmm…I’m actually not one to read poetry. I can never find the rhythm in them. But maybe I should try… 🙂
And cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg *yummy* add stewed apples and cream and voila, magnificent. 😀 -

@kate-flournoy – What do you think of this as a starting?
A single light glowed from a window and cast strange and ghostly shapes on the empty street outside. The constant flickering of the candle light displayed that the person in the room moved about regularly. The footsteps were muffled by a thick rug that warmed the floor. Robes swayed back…[Read more] -

@kate-flournoy – Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
This is one other story idea I have that I haven’t been able to get to work. (have you heard of the nursery rhyme ‘Little Jack Horner?’)
Little Jack Horner was a real boy and lived in the Abbey of Glastonbury during the reign of Henry VIII. The abbot sent the deed of the abbey to the king concealed…[Read more] -
Rolena Hatfield replied to the topic This Poet Would Love Your Critiques in the forum Poetry Critiques 10 years, 8 months ago
Ohhhh. That makes a lot of sense! Thank you both @daeus and @kate-flournoy
Yay! Good I’m learning about poetry!Hmmmm… your trimming of my poem is great Daeus. Mind if I steal a few of your lines?
I’m going to try and reconstruct it and polish it off! -
BlueJay replied to the topic Anna's Savanna by BlueJay in the forum Short Story Critiques 10 years, 8 months ago
@kate-flournoy – How could I forget a description of Savanna? Especially her eyes!!! I’ll add that to the story for sure.
I’ll have a look and see if there is another way to say that line.
With the debit card it’s a bit of a joke in our family. When you get charged you have to pay. So when a rhino charges you (money) you pay him. Does that make a…[Read more] -

@Kate-Flournoy he’s calm, cautious, and not in the least bit afraid to face his enemies. His brother has been his best friend and has constantly looked out for him; basically they’re very close.

@kate-flournoy– Anna and her parents aren’t animals. She goes to Africa (Masai Mara reserve) to stay with her uncle. There she rescues a baby giraffe stuck in the mud (Savanna) and falls in love with her.
I like yours. I really like the “hide away” part. -
BlueJay replied to the topic I need help with a line in my story in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 10 years, 9 months ago
@kate-flournoy – Thanks. That’s a good way to say it for humans but I’m not sure if it works for animals. Here is the other part of the story where it is used.
“Savanna’s not a pet, Anna.”
“Yeah, I know but…”
“No ‘buts’.”
“But I want her to be safe. It’s so dangerous out there. Anything could happen.”
I could feel tears coming to my…[Read more] -

Thanks, @kate-flournoy! 🙂 I love hearing when my stuff has made people laugh.
Yeah, I noticed that was a bit of a problem, too. I’ll see if I can fix it up on that point. I already fixed what my mom noticed. I didn’t mention the fog soon enough before and it was sort of a “and then… fog!” effect. XD -

@kate-flournoy A guinea-pig! Now you tell me. 😉 But then, as the oldest in my family, I’ve been the guinea-pig my whole life; I suppose I’m used to it. I’ll even make sure G doesn’t find out you said such things.
