*hangs head* Yes ma’am… *salutes*

Snapper, you are one intimidating Dragon. Almost more so than @kate-flournoy

@graciegirl I may or may not have used your famous “zikers” phrase in a conversation with my sister the other day. She looked at me like I was crazy.

I too am a Star Wars fan. @dragon-snapper

Happy Star Wars day, all. May the 4th be with you all! @perfectfifths @kateflournoy @daeus

I agree wholeheartedly. @winter-rose

Well…it’s actually a tad complicated. See, I’ve been writing for a long time, but all of my previous works were just for fun, and what’s more, they were nothing like the story I’m working on now.
Most of them were written without an outline, and are consequently collecting dust in my metaphorical Vault of…[Read more]

Aha. Well. On the bright side, at least you can draw. Some of us *coughs* are still in the trees and abstracts stage. @kate-flournoy

Erm, I’m working on re-constructing the part of the third chapter you read earlier? I’m actually happy with how it’s turning out.

But Mom, they started fighting firrrst! *voice rises in a petulant whine*

@dragon-snapper

Lol @kate-flournoy Any progress on Matthias?

I may or may not have stolen a couple of the drawings for the Warden and another take on Kara.

Thanks, Gabby. (People call you Gabby, right?)

I should be fine right now, but after I finish this chapter, I’m going to have to take a serious look at my plot ideas. Right now, everything I’ve come up with is in a garbled mess. @winter-rose

Nothing is wrong with it. The problem is me.

It’ll be okay. I just have to get all my ideas down. It would help if I could figure out what the plot is… @winter-rose

My WIP is still a baby…I’m writing the third chapter. Maybe.

Um, my WIP isn’t being cooperative. At all. @winter-rose

What are you working on? @winter-rose

I’m here. @winter-rose

Okay. So…instead of showing her thoughts, show her actions, emotions, and thoughts simultaneously. Easy as pie.

Why do we say that anyway? Pie is actually very complicated?

@kate-flournoy

Now I’m hungry.

Well, to be honest, I didn’t know what was happening. It seemed rather vague. I wasn’t sure why the two boys were outside their house, or why they were afraid of going back in.

Maybe, since you have a few words left, you could tweak it a bit to explain what’s going on? @dragon-snapper

Wow! This is actually pretty neat, Snapper!

Admittedly, I didn’t know what was going on for the first part of the story, but the final paragraphs really tied everything together. Birds. I LOL-ed.

I like the different forms of alliteration here. Your descriptions were very crisp and clear; I could easily visualize what was happening.

I don’t…[Read more]

I have no words @kate-flournoy Thank you.

I’m signing off. @daeus

Yeah. I did.

That’s great, Kate, but it isn’t me. I didn’t write that, and I don’t think I can right now. I’m not that good.

I get the point you’re trying to make, though. @kate-flournoy

Chapter Three:
As I walk briskly down the hall, the lights above me dim. The flickering bulbs cast an eerie, ominous splash of ashy gray on the pale walls. My footsteps are the only sound I hear.
Clip, thump, clip, thump, clip, thump.
“Is he insane?!”
Well. That escalated quickly.
The sudden shout makes my heart leap into my chest, and…[Read more]

I need help. *glances wearily at the novel excerpt forum so we don’t disturb @daeus*
