Thanks, @aella ! You write like you’re a fun person to talk to. 🙂

Quite frankly, I haven’t written much at all lately. Maybe I’ll try that wallowing idea. 😉

Really, I feel more motivated just reading your post. Maybe I’ll rediscover “Writer’s Corner” in the morning. 😀

Hey, @clairec , I liked your story. Basing your story on a poem is totally cool and creative. I especially liked the bit about the camera flash. 🙂

I will say though that I’m not certain the first paragraph is entirely necessary to your story. The moment he lost his father, while interesting in itself, frankly confused me as to what the story…[Read more]

Me too, @hannah-krynicki ! Vacation swept me away. I’ve just been so busy! I may have to take a break from the book club for a while and catch up some things … like studies and writing. Writing is good. 🙂

I’ll try to join in this evening, @daeus . I’ve been real busy between vacation and studies … haven’t been doing much reading.

That’s a cool idea, @clairec ! I know what you mean. It’s easy to get caught up in novel reading and neglect more serious stuff. Fiction makes me feel a lot more comfortable than the Bible does. The Bible speaks to me personally, not as an unknown writer, but as its recipient. There’s nothing pretend about that, which is one of the reasons…[Read more]

Hey @hope ! 🙂 “Sign of the Shield” is alright. (It could be better than alright, but since I haven’t read your story it’s a little hard to say how well it goes, but it sounds nice:) What about “Emblazoned”? I just thought of it. Not saying it’s better than “Sign of the Shield,” but it was an idea, so I thought I’d mention it.

“Crowned…[Read more]

Oops, I read your post kinda backwards, @bluejay . I might be able to write at 9:00, but probably not before. I’ll be hanging out with my family. 🙂

That works for me, @bluejay . 🙂 I’ll post when I join, probably around 10:00-10:30

I LOVE, love, love Robin Hood stories! If you need any help reading it when you’re done, @bluejay , you know where to find me. 😀

That’s great, @bluejay ! 🙂 I’m not exactly sure how much, since I did it on paper and I’m actually going to scrap most of it, but I rewrote some of the beginning stuff I’d already written for my novel, made some notes for changes, (because the characters storyline changed some since I wrote it) and mostly figured out how I don’t want it. So, a…[Read more]

Okay, sort of, @bluejay . I can’t actually see you … okay, I’ll go start writing now.

Sweet, @bluejay ! “LET’S DO THIS THING!” (If you haven’t seen Ratatouille you really should) 😉

See you in 15! 🙂

Sweet, @bluejay ! “LET’S DO THIS THING!” (If you haven’t seen Ratatouille you really should) 😉

Hey, who’s up for writing for 15 minutes? Why the short time, you ask? Because I have to get up early tomorrow and I’m really really not looking forward to it. (That is, the getting up part.) 😉 @kate-flournoy , @daeus , @c-c-lane

I’m sure your right about my story theme, (unless it changes in the writing, in which case it’s not your fault but I’ll blame it on you anyway 😉 ) and thanks for breaking it down for me, @daeus . 🙂 I’ve been reading up on what different story writing terms mean lately, since I realized my understanding of them was a little on the hazy side. (I…[Read more]

Thanks for breaking it down for me, @daeus . 🙂 I’ve been reading up on what different story writing terms mean lately, since I realized my understanding of them was a little on the hazy side. (I mean is on the hazy side;) Your post helped me grasp the concept even better. Defining concepts like theme, plot, message, goals, etc., definitely…[Read more]
