@anne-of-lothlorien Just so you know, only twins with the same gender will be identical. So you are correct in having your twins different, but people shouldn’t picture them the same if they know the facts. 🙂 This is an interesting story btw. 🙂

@bluejay Yep, I’m here! You couldn’t see me because of the smoke. 😛
Now, back to business.

*appears in a cloud of smoke* Are you around @dragon-snapper? *cough, cough* A lot of smoke…hmm…Dragon, come out of your hiding place. *brandishes…swor…um…pen in the air. We have work to do.

Ooh, if the door’s not going to be in the main library you may as well put it in the cellar @Anne-of-Lothlorien.

@dragon-snapper I was…and I will be…just as soon as I’ve finished one more job. I’ll be back. *disappears with a swish of her cape* 🙂

@bluejay Now I’ll ask you… Are you still writing? 😛

@daeus Are you still writing?
Anyone else, I’m writing now if you want to join me. No time at the moment. 🙂

@mark-kamibaya Yay! You got it. It’s from Davy Crockett when Major Norton is trying to find him and Davy’s in the middle of grinning down a bear. The Major wrecks his concentration and he had to kill the bear the old fashioned way. 🙂

Okay everyone, I really gotta concentrate here, so if you wanna do this writing thing, that would be suuuuuper. I’ll write whatever though.

What I do for short story inspiration is wait until I’m out in public and pick a person to watch. WATCH HER SLASH HIM HARD! AS LONG AS YOU CAN! write down everything about them, characteristics, how they walk/talk/eat/breathe facial quirks, funky styles, personality. Then, go home, and start with them saying one of your favorite one liners, and…[Read more]

I DID IT!!!!!
That’s the first time I’ve been able to figure out a link.
Yay me!
But these ‘Movies as told by Emojis’ are so cute. They’ve done Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Frozen, Tangled, Star Wars 7… adorable and so funny.

Star Wars 7 as told by Emojis

Since the only star wars I’ve seen is 7, I have no idea who Mace Windu, Sidious or whoever are, so don’t ask me @julia-r

@kate-flournoy That is heart-breaking! I realized that after I watched it for the second time. He was supposed to be strong in the dark side and was, but used up so much of his endurance with the Force, and will, and emotion,…[Read more]

Yes, I decided to go with a omniscient, narrator sort of voice throughout the book, but who knows how that will work. Here’s a bit more, and yes this is wordy @daeus, but I sort of did that on purpose, and sort of not.

Now, I hope you know that twins mustn’t always look alike, and in fact most times are quite different, so please do not suppose…[Read more]

Well first, the biggest thing to keep in mind is that short stories are short… which is obvious, but one problem you can face is to try to fit a complex plot into a short story. Just don’t do that. Short stories should usually only have one scene. If they have more than one, the scenes should be short and the plot still not very complex. Some…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield @kate-flournoy, I was actually thinking of starting based on a solid theme and try to get the ball rolling from there. 🙂 Great thoughts!

@zoe-wingfeather, I’ll have to look into some dialogue prompts. They are fun to read. 😉

@Christi-Eaton
Like Chloe said, I find Pinterest to be pretty inspiring.
But also like Kate said, I love to pick a theme and the story usually develops from there. (She’s right about Proverbs being packed with good story starters!)
Other than that, I have a drawer full of ideas I’ve written down over the years for just the time when inspiration…[Read more]

Guys, mine was from a Christmas movie called Emmett Otter’s Jugband Christmas. It’s a cute sappy feel-good puppet movie. There’s animals, that sing. And they’re puppets. So like muppets, but I like it better. Anyone seen it?

@gretald You should read the alternate ending zoe wrote. Link further up on page.

@christi-eaton I have heard that!!!!! I’m excited! But please tell me the fat guy with the two black patches on his eyes in not Podo? Please? I like the other characters, but that Podo is horrible!

@Christi-Eaton actually I only ever write short stories if I have a really interesting concept that bears exploring but I don’t know if I could make a whole novel out of it. I write short stories as little allegorical pictures, I guess you could say. A lot of my short story ideas come from reading Proverbs, actually. 😛 The way I approach most of…[Read more]
