So, (here in Virginia, anyway,) it is the (gasp!) last day of Summer! In honor of this momentous occasion, this dramatic changing of the seasons, I was wondering you would all post an update on how you’re doing with your writing projects?

How did your Summer (or honorary Summer) go? 🙂

I did alright, @bluejay . I wrote 256 words. Gibberish, mostly, but I enjoyed it. 🙂

Good luck on your poem, and thanks for writing with me. 🙂

Hey, @bluejay , how did you do?

Yay! 😀 Let’s begin, @bluejay . 🙂

(Not, “Yay!” you “split water” on your laptop, but happy to write “Yay!”) 😉

I’m writing, @bluejay . You want to join me for 15 minutes or so?

Happy Birthday, @anne-swiftblade ! I don’t think we’ve been properly introduced, so … nice to meet you. 🙂

Thanks, @clairec , @sarah-h , @anna-brie , @christi-eaton , @daeus , @emma-flournoy , @aella , @bluejay , for your feedback and support! 🙂

I agree with you, @jess ! That sentence wasn’t doing it for me either, but I wanted a second opinion before I did anything, so thanks. 🙂 I’ll try to rework it.

Thanks, @winter-rose . 🙂 I will post it…[Read more]

My sentiments exactly! (Regarding jackets, that is.) That will be nice to have you do it, @dragon-snapper . 🙂 I (almost 😉 ) can’t wait! 🙂

Haha! Don’t be, @clairec . I do the same. 🙂 😉 😀

Yes! Jackets are awesome but puffy coats not so much. 🙂

That’s a great idea, @dragon-snapper . 🙂 Would you like to set it up since it was your idea, or shall I? (Once Fall begins, of course.) 😉

That’s okay, @clairec . I’ve discovered myself that it is just far too time-consuming to make detailed replies when I get multiple responses, so I’m trying a new approach: Thank the majority of commenters as a group (if they’re helpful, and they always are 🙂 ) and only make detailed replies to the comments that require them or that I have…[Read more]

I’m afraid I don’t know very much about story structure, @mark-kamibaya . I know that it exists, and I’ve heard of the 3 Act story structure, but, so far anyway, I haven’t really studied it much …

I love the idea of Rapunzel, and your story sounds interesting, @anna-brie . Kidnapped princesses are a fairly common stereotype. It should be a fun challenge making it fresh for your readers. (If you plan on publishing it.) 🙂

Complicated is definitely cool, @julia-r and @jess . 🙂
