Kate Flournoy

And *takes deep breath* Here’s the short story.

I’m crazy.
I know that.
My mother shakes her head sadly as she closes the door. The dull click of the lock echoes in my head.
They say it’s for my own good. They say that I’m mad, a lunatic, a delusional fantasist. Locking me in here is supposed to protect me.
But I know the truth…[Read more]

Hi guys! The story is due in a few days, (the 16th), though I want to turn it in by tomorrow. 😛 Anything I’m missing from this revised draft? (The editors said I should work more on character, so if you see anything that might be able to make it deeper, let me know.) Thanks!

Thanks! =D Yeah, I don’t keep this very well updated, but it’s fun to have just to show any improvement. =P

I use Clip Studio Paint (formerly known as Manga Studio) mostly, but occasionally Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. Mostly Clip Studio, though. Do you draw?

@kate-flournoy *has confidence in abilities* Well that makes me happy.

@delightinlife Sometimes when I’m writing short stories, I find that it helps to just forget about word limitations and write how you want. Then, when you’re done, you can go back through and carefully weed out any extraneous words or parts. And it might behoove you to ditch…[Read more]

Er…none of mine. That I’ve previously requested, that is.

And while we’re on that subject…I have this character named Ava Wayne. She’s the sister of Matthias, a character who @kate-flournoy drew for me a few pages ago.

I’ve been picturing her with red hair and hazel eyes. She has sharper facial features than her brother, and she’s always…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy You on?

I’m writing if anyone’s here. @kate-flournoy @dragon-snapper @ethryndal @winter-rose

Kate, if you’re on…I need brainstorming help. If anyone else is willing to help, I’d love to get a fresh voice in my head… *bashes skull against nearest wall*

@delightinlife Muahahaha—*chokes* Ahem. Please keep in mind that I’m not the most experienced writer, and emotions are one of the things I struggle with, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. But I am reading a book about writing emotions, so here’s what I’ve learned from it so far.

First of all, writing your own emotions into Josiah…[Read more]

@winter-rose @that_writer_girl_99 @audrey-caylin @daeus @kate-flournoy @ethryndal @northerner I’m editing if anyone is there.

Hi everyone–
My brother was going to go to a friends’ house today, but in the process of getting his fishing pole ready for the outing, he sliced open his hand. My mom took him to the ER, and he has to get stitches.

My brother just made a travel baseball team for the summer, and we have camps, vacations, and other things that we were planning…[Read more]

Haha. Okay… great. That’s more than I could’ve come with up on my own. Thanks! @daeus @kate-flournoy

Wow. Okay.

Jane Austen, huh? Never read any of her stuff. And I’ve wanted to read “A Tale of Two Cities” for a while now. @kate-flournoy

Spring Writing Goal:
Reach 15k words in my WIP. I don’t think I’ve ever written anything over 10k, so it’s a step.

I also want to read a few “classics”. Anyone have some recommendations?

@daeus @kate-flournoy @graciegirl @dragon-snapper

@daeus @graciegirl @ethryndal @kate-flournoy @that_writer_girl_99 @winter-rose @jess @all of you

Yes! I finished editing the first draft of my book!!!!!

I know, I know…

See, I’m a perfectionist too. I blame it on my being the eldest child in my family. @kate-flournoy

Yeah, and then on the way back my mom was lecturing me about how I can’t conceal my emotions, and she gave me this whole thing…it was rather difficult to listen to, especially because I know she’s right.

Well, that’s life, I guess.

I’m rewriting Chapter 3 of Prison. Nothing really happened, and the conversation with Matthias seemed kinda…[Read more]

I’m rewriting a chapter if anyone’s on.

I’m here to talk if anyone wants to, too. I’m bored…hate editing.
