*breathes a sigh of relief only to catch it again as I continued reading* @overcomer
I don’t blame your sister for hating them. Oh, that would have been awful!!!! I’m glad she’s ok though. Mine wasn’t that bad. I ended up riding into a prickly bush to miss it *ouch* and made my brother drop the mud pie he was making with my scream. 😛 The snake…[Read more]

I got 234 words written. How’d you go @daeus? It was a bit of a struggle at first but thankfully is becoming much smoother. 😀 *licks ice-cream off spoon. Delicious*

@daeus sorry I’m late. 😀 Yes I’m alive. Glad to hear you are too. Hidey hi ho and a bucket of raspberries??? Hmm…I’ll have ice cream instead.

Haha @kate-flournoy! No, you’re not creepy. Studying people is quite fascinating. 😛

Oh boy! @rolena-hatfield I guess I should brush up and medical terms. *Hunts around for doctoring books; starts reading. Raises eyebrow “I’m really not understanding any of this.”*
I guess I had better stick to easy things such as colds and stomach aches. 😀

Yes @hope, I can definitely see that. Both books were written to make a strong point, not to make you feel good, therefore both plots were highly, highly realistic. If they’d been written just so they could be realistic it wouldn’t have packed as much of a punch, but since they’re realistic to seal the message they’re very powerful.

*ahem*…[Read more]

@gretald @rolena-hatfield YES. That, and trying to read people’s faces. I know, I’m so creepy… but I love trying to guess what people are thinking by studying their expressions.

@rolena-hatfield, yes! Watching and listening to people is great for your writing…and not to mention fun. I’d love to just sit at a coffee shop for a couple hours and watch people coming in and out and listen to their conversations. 🙂

HAHA! @rolena-hatfield. Hmm…that might be bit hard as I don’t live near you. 😀

Oh yikes! @overcomer That’s terrible. Oh those poor baby chicks. *cries loudly*
Hmmmm….I’ve nearly ridden over a snake with a bike when I was very little. *Scary*

Okay guys… I just read Lord of the Flies. A friend gave me a copy— I was a little leery at first (with a title like that, you can’t be too cautious) but having finished it, I highly, highly recommend it.
I don’t think I can say I enjoyed reading it, but it is by far one of the more powerful books I have ever encountered. It made me think a…[Read more]

Don’t panic if your first draft is awful. That’s what editing is for.

Don’t stress about an outline. However, it helps me if I basically know where the story’s going before I begin writing. 🙂

Have a thick skin. 😛

*runs in* I heard the word ‘sick.’ *shakes finger at you, @rolena-hatfield* You shouldn’t eat so many sundaes in one go. It’s not good for you. *shakes head sadly* Pop them into the virtual freezer and eat them slowly. One per week. *writes it on paper and hands it to you.*

Oh wow! You’ve got to send me that when you’ve finished it. It sounds very exciting.

353. I’m working on the fourth Chaos story. 😀 It’s moving along slowly. *sigh* @anna-brie. But at least I was focused because I was writing with you. It really does help. 😀
