@perfectfifths I have nothing to add to anything that has just been said, other than keep it simple and sweet, but I hope you win!

@PerfectFifths Looks like you’re in good hands. 😀
To your last question though—that sounds like it’d work, as long as you don’t make it too long to begin with and then don’t want to cut so much.

I hope you win. 🙂

@GabrielleMassman I haven’t read that. *despairing expression* So many good books to read and not enough time! But I’ll remember it. 🙂

I haven’t seen the musical, or any of the movies (yet, at least). But I’ll take your word for it. 😉
And I love that moment too. Combeferre is so sweet, and that was so sad.

@Overcomer @ClaireC I’ll sure be praying for both of you. I know how hard it is to play an instrument in front of lots of people.

@perfectfifths Not particularly. Most all of them are good.

@kate-flournoy No smoke? That was anti-climatic 🙁 😀

@daeus Coolies; I should probably check out her blog more. Any posts you recommend reading in particular?

@kate-flournoy No smoke? That was anti-climatic 🙁 😀

@perfectfifths Yep. She’s pretty sweet. A lot of people around here read her regularly.

@PerfectFifths um… well… what they said. 😛 Thanks guys.
I’ll come back if I think of anything else. 😉

@daeus Oh, and the blogger is a Christian. Bonus! I always love finding Christian writers – it’s a wonderful mix, isn’t it? 😀

@perfectfifths. I know. It’s pretty sweet.

@daeus Wow, that article on Boba Fett was, wow 😀 I never realised before you can develop so much character with one line/thought/action/look. Thanks for that!

@dragon-snapper (Having just seen the BFG, your name sounds like something he would say 😉 ) Yes, I have gotten the advice of keeping minimum description, etc, that is something I will keep in mind as I write.

@kate-flournoy *waves away smoke* *cough cough* I look forward to it!

@daeus Ah, I hadn’t thought of that before, writing a scene rather…[Read more]

@perfectfifths What I would recommend is don’t think of this as if you need to plan a plot. Plot carries the connotation of something big. Just write one scene (i.e. a firefighter rescues a girl from a burning house.) It’s really not that hard to keep one scene short.

The thing then is making the scene meaningful. You can think of this scene as…[Read more]

I shall return. Never fear. *disappears in a poof of smoke*

@perfectfifths

Um…Well, I can honestly say that I don’t know too much about writing short stories, especially not 1,500 word short ones. Yeah, that definitely is crazy. Probably why there is a reward in the first place. 😛 I had to write a short story once that was only 1000 words, and I managed to keep it down to 900. I really just wrote down whatever came…[Read more]
