Hello, Mallory!! I guess I should introduce myself. I’m Esther: a volleyball-playing, violin-squeaking, dog-obsessed, homeschooled, God-loving, amateur writer!!
As for the short answer to your question: Great!!
Now for the long answer:
It looks like you haven’t been active for a while. I’ll tell ya, lots of new people have joined since…[Read more] -
Faith Q. started the topic Y'all help me storm my brain!!!! in the forum Plotting 2 years, 7 months ago
Okay, y’all, I need a brainstorming partner… or two… or as many as I can find, haha…
It’ll actually be for two separate projects. One is a middle-grade contemporary novel, and the other is a YA fantasy. If you’re up for helping me brainstorm, either (or both!) need work, so anyone who can, pretty much? I’ll give the tags here, and then put…[Read more]

Faith Q. started the topic Me idea in the forum Plotting 2 years, 7 months ago
Okay, so last night I got this amazing idea. At least I think it sounds amazing. But my problem is, it also sounds a bit cliche.
The problem is, I don’t get out much. Honestly, I’m pretty picky about what I read, so modern secular works are very rarely added to the list, and I am pretty clueless about what’s actually on the shelves. I know I…[Read more]

Libby replied to the topic Does anyone write rap lyrics/rap music? in the forum Music 2 years, 8 months ago
@overcomer Hey, Mallory! First off, it’s nice to meet you. You have a lovely profile picture 🙂 Second, I’ve done a bit of rap-writing/spoken word before, though I haven’t written one for… years, I guess. And I love listening to certain artists who use rap (I’m a bit partial to spoken word in particular).
What do you like to rap about?

Kathleen replied to the topic What's Your Favorite Relationship Type in Fiction? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 9 months ago
Yuh, sibling relationships ftw. When is a story not better with a sibling, or sibling-like relationship?
Since it’s your favorite, how many sibling duos have you written, and do you have a favorite one you’ve written?
Yeah, there definitely is something special with brother friendships.
Maybe because it’s rarer…[Read more]

Hi! I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Tráhia the Minstrel, here on the forum.
Yeah, I think those are some of the reasons I like writing bromances too.
Nice to meet you!

Kathleen replied to the topic TOPIC OF THE WEEK – Who is the best villain in any book/movie of all time? in the forum Start HERE 4 years, 6 months ago
I know it’s so hard to choose!
I like your perspective of how Sauron, though he wasn’t physically present throughout the story, he was mentally present throughout the trilogy. By constantly tempting anyone near with The Ring. He may not have been charging at the front his army trying to stop Frodo from is mission, but he was in…[Read more]

Ahem. I don’t know if any of you will recognize me (or are even still here) but I’m back….
I can’t tell you all how happy I am to be back here, even though KP isn’t running anymore.

OH MY GOODNESS! @bluejay How have you been?? 😀

Hiiiii! Glad you’re back!! Maybe you should go re-introduce yourself on the forum and those who still frequent this place can meet you! 😀 I’m not much on here anymore unless I’m specificially in a conversation with someone, but I think there’s a dozen or so people who still hang out.
And no doubt they could use a doctor. ;P
-
@perfectfifths I’m well. I’ve missed being here with you guys. Life is about to get crazy, but I’m really hoping that I’ll be able to get writing well and truly back into my life.
@emma-flournoy That’s a good idea. It will give me a feel for who is around and introduce myself to the new people. Oh wait, I’m the new person. 🙂 LOL
-
@bluejay It’s good to see you back. I’m one of the few that haven’t gone over to Story Embers (I’m signed up for their newsletter and read their articles, but I don’t use the forums). So you’ve not been writing much lately?
-
@perfectfifths Yay!
No, not much. Still working on the Golden Conch. I’ve semi started the sequel to it. And I wrote a short story recently, but over the past two years, no not much. 🙁-
@bluejay
Oh yes, I’ve been wondering about that. You left about the time I sent you my feedback/edits and I never heard from you about that. XD I’m sorry to hear that. I know I have times where I’d been writing less, but it’s usually been weeks at most and this year I’ve written fairly consistently. But we all go through dry spells.Are you doing…[Read more]

@perfectfifths
Yes, that was right. I’d be happy to send it through in the near future so you can read all the changes. (I believe it will be quite different since you’ve read it.)
Yes, we do. But I’m hoping that it’s going to pour with rain now. 🙂 And end the drought.
No, I’m not doing that. I don’t want pressure when I write atm, just need…[Read more] -
@bluejay
I’d love to. How do you want to send it? My email I think has changed since then, but I still have yours, assuming it hasn’t.That would be wonderful! 😀
That sounds like a good plan. Last year I used NaNo to kickstart myself into writing consistently again (and I won it!), and this year I haven’t once felt terribly stressed or…[Read more]

@Daeus OK.
@Overcomer If you see an Elizabeth Flournoy on your doc then, that’s me, using one of my sisters’ account because I don’t have one. Just so you’re warned, it’s not an intruding bot or anything. 😉 And since it’s technically yours first, if you want I can wait to beta-read it ’til you’ve already done so, ’cause that’d be totally fine. I…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic W.I.P. Lounge Club (Writers Only!) in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years ago
@overcomer I think there are two reasons to know your target audience.
First, so you don’t write the wrong book. For instance, if I know I want to write for seminal-Christians aged 30-45 who are in the military, that will keep me from writing a children’s fairy tale. Knowing your target audience also helps you maintain a core unity between all…[Read more]

Hey, @overcomer! I am a complete stranger who stumbled upon the lounge… I’m guessing this is a lot like the Writer’s Corner? 🙂

*crawls out of a hidden drain, dripping wet and covered in seaweed* SO… hey. It’s me. I actually don’t have a revolutionary writing concept to share today. Or advice to ask for. I’m starting this topic for a much more mundane reason.

@aislinn-mollisong I’ll bear it in mind… Although, the plots for these can be nitpicky. It’s actually quite hard to get everything I want in there. But…I will try. 😀 - Load More
Hi, Esther! Thanks, I appreciate the welcome! 😊 I’m glad to hear the forum is so active these days. Volleyball is cool! What position do you play? I was homeschooled too. I have a variety of hobbies, but right now I’m into archery (total beginner), watercolor painting, and walking. And I like all kinds of animals, but maybe cats the most (because…[Read more]
I play setter! Though that may change since I may be joining a new team this year. Idk yet. 🤷🏻♀️
Ooooh! Archery sounds cool!! We went to this place for my brother’s birthday in where you shoot arrows (in a variety of archery games), but obviously they are foam on the end. I was terrible at it. 😂
Watercolor painting is really neat!! I’ve done it…[Read more]
Only the nice ones. I agree with you there! How are you doing these days?
I’m doing pretty good!! School’s over, so that’s really nice. XD And summer break’s been fun. 😊 I’m going to be participating in some really fun things in June and July and I’m really excited. 😄 Plus I have a summer job, so that’s been fun. 😉
What about you?
I’m doing good! I’m working a lot between my jobs as a photographer’s assistant and a clerk at the library, and writing in between. I’m working on finishing a draft of my WIP within the next three months and getting my blog up. I’ve been writing some poetry and song lyrics too. I’m also trying to do and learn as many new things as possible because…[Read more]
Ooooh, that sounds like fun!! 😄
When you start up your blog you’ll have to let me know! 😊
Sure! 🙂
