@overcomer Yep. I’ll be writing that as soon as I can get the time away from editing my other works.

@Overcomer Wrote three chapters out of intended five. Not much, but I’ve been doing a lot of editing and that’s been coming along pretty well. I think I also rewrote my novelette.

*best creepy Cheshire cat grin* Oh, you can’t help that. We’re all mad here.

@Overcomer *hem* @Dragon-Snapper is a she. 😛
My summer… eh… it went okay. I never did get around to the Snow White novella, and I’m still editing my WIP… but I’m actually pretty happy with what I’ve accomplished, especially considering summer is the busiest time of year for our family. I’m confident that my WIP is actually going to be…[Read more]

On second thought, @ZCPeterson, the last line would probably be better as
The realms He holds safe in the palms of His hands. 🙂

@ZCPeterson welcome! Another poet! We can always use more poets around here. The world can never have enough of poetry. 😉
And don’t worry; most of the forumers were stalkers long before they ever actually got involved. *winks* I think that’s because most writers are introverts. *grins*
So glad to be able to welcome you to the… uh… um… the…[Read more]

@zcpeterson first of all, I really love this poem. I love the idea of building a poem off a piece of scripture, and you executed it very well. I may have to try this… 😀

The only thing that really needs work is what @Daeus said about the meter. For instance, take the first verse:

Who among you can number the stars
Who can count every small…

@Anne-of-Lothlorien…
*ahem* First of all, your quote should have been:
‘”It’s an assonance.”
“What’s an…”
“Oh for pity’s sake don’t ask him what an ass-y-thingamy is! He’s only longing to be asked. Say nothing and perhaps he’ll go away.”‘

And then…
‘Most boys at this would have either flared up or gone out, but Eustace did neither. He just…[Read more]

@zcpeterson My general impression is that it could use a consistent meter.

@julia-r The only way I think you can do it is with a link. Do you (or someone in your family) have a social media account or a website?

Well, since Facebook already knows these things, I may as well reveal to you all that I’m 18. Birthday is May 26. Enjoy your knowledge of these top not so secret things.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien I’m seventeen and my birthday is March 24. 😀

@anne-of-lothlorien Actually, it never even crossed my mind that she learned it way too fast. Maybe it would have peeved me if I had thought of it, but since I didn’t, I guess I’ll just imagine I’m still innocent and remain content.

Aha! I was wondering when you’d show up. (moderators notice stalkers). Glad you finally poked your head above water. Drowning certainly isn’t recommended.

There’s lots of stuff to do on the forum. For instance…
If you make a big writing discovery, share it so we can all know about it too
Brainstorm with others about your story…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien I’ll fill in for you.

Will do.

@anne-swiftblade Happy Birthday!!!

@bluejay Seems like you did a pretty good job with the huge limitations of trying to fit all those words in there. One thing to note is that the lines:
“His words must be erroneously
They definitely weren’t symmetrically”
are not grammatically correct because of their -ly endings.

As far as improvement, because of your limitations, I think your b…[Read more]

@ClaireC with pleasure. 🙂
