The fledgling Artist

@jenwriter17 Okay.  Your idea, you first. 😛

@jenwriter17 Okay, but I’m not sure exactly what you mean. 😀  Do you mean one or two sentence sections like SeekJustice did in her last post on An Ordinary Pen?

@rochellaine Thank you!  Yeah, his sister was five when he left, and she hardly remembers him.  Also, because of the traumatizing situation they were in for a while when he was taken away, she has hardly spoken for those two years.  My poor little character!

I find it tons of fun, but also difficult to write these very emotional scenes.  I enj…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 “Course of,” as my little sister used to say. 😉

What about you?  That robot girl?

@ariel-ashira My favorite example of what someone did when seeing someone unexpectedly is the Biblical story of when Peter and Rhoda.  Remember, when Peter knocked on the door after being released from prison and she came to answer the door, she heard him speak and recognized his voice, but she was so excited she forgot to open the door! 😀  So h…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira @jenwriter17 @alia @skredder I’m on here early today.  Is anyone available to join me in writing?

@alia @jenwriter17 @rochellaine I really wish I could be on more, but life won’t allow that yet.  Just thought I’d say it is something to celebrate that poor Uncle Bill has been found! 🙂

Please, though, don’t hesitate to tag me.  I will be on as often as I can!

@alia Am praying for you!

You know you’re a writer when you know how to rob any small to medium bank with little to no risk and yet have no intention on actually robbing said banks.

@alia Of course. I’m praying!

@alia I’m actually not going to be back for another fifteen minutes to half an hour.  So, I’ll tag you when I get back to see if you’re still here.  Bye!

@alia Okay, but first I’ve got to go for a few minutes.  I’ll let you know when I get back.

@jenwriter17 At least it was actually for the story, and not something like “How to do my hair in a 1960s beehive.” 😀  I did need to know what trauma centers were called in other parts of the country, since I only know about the University of Maryland one.  But you’re right.  I should know better than to google anything during a word war.

@alia Well…since @jenwriter17 doesn’t want me to give away spoilers, I can’t really defend myself at this point. 😉  I do attempt to stress my characters out quite often, though I prefer writing lighter stories to the heavy dystopian/fantasy stuff that most of the people here write.  Have you seen any of my western?

@jenwriter17 Whoa!  I was sure I was going to lose because partway through I forgot I was in a word war and decided to google “hospital trauma centers!” 😛  When I realized what I had done I was horrified.

But, I ended up getting either 219 or 227. (I can’t quite remember which sentence I started with.)

@jenwriter17 I just requested access. I may not be able to get to it until Thursday or Friday, though.

@alia     …

What about the second draft? 😉

@jenwriter17 Well, since Alia’s back, how about we do ten minutes with her? 😀

@alia Them?!  I said I was considering killing one of my characters.  I will never come to your “side of things” as you call it when you speak in such ruthless and careless terms of my beloved characters lives.  So there.

@jenwriter17 Great, a word war!  How long this time?

@alia @jenwriter17 I am considering grabbing my characters and running for their lives.
