Snapper replied to the topic The (Awesome) Summer Writing Club! in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 5 months ago
I think that I did fine. Much better than my first attempt at a novel, that’s for sure. Yesterday, before fall began, I was able to reach chapter twenty of my WIP, which I started sometime near the end of June.

Gather, fellow knights and warriors of this realm!
@Overcomer and I had an idea a little bit ago for the fall. Because summer is now over, (yay–Fall!) that means that The Awesome Summer Writing Club is no longer summery. So, without further ado, I will begin a new topic with the same principal.
We, as writer’s, will (or should, I won’t force…[Read more] -

@overcomer Yep. I’ll be writing that as soon as I can get the time away from editing my other works.

And a big thank you to all the people who brainstormed for me. I know some of you didn’t make it here before I cleared the topic, but I have figured out what to do. Grazie. 🙂

@overcomer Well the second draft of Girl of the Rumours is coming along. Not as quickly as i’d like, but still coming. It turned out that balancing two projects doesn’t work for me. the one took up most of my head space leaving only enough for little bits of planning the other one.
And it’s continuing to make more and more sense as I write. The…[Read more]

@Overcomer Wrote three chapters out of intended five. Not much, but I’ve been doing a lot of editing and that’s been coming along pretty well. I think I also rewrote my novelette.

@Overcomer Well, I finished and published Song of the Sword this summer, which was exciting. I also wrote up my third novella for Legends of Light…and now I’m scraping it and rewriting it this fall for reasons. And I’m almost finished editing my fantasy novel, Fidelyon!

BlueJay replied to the topic The (Awesome) Summer Writing Club! in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 5 months ago
@overcomer I think I said something crazy like writing 10 short stories. Hmm…in a sense I was probably close as I wrote at least three longer stories plus lots of writing prompt stories. I also got lots of poems written.
So I’m very happy with what I got done. 🙂

@Overcomer *hem* @Dragon-Snapper is a she. 😛
My summer… eh… it went okay. I never did get around to the Snow White novella, and I’m still editing my WIP… but I’m actually pretty happy with what I’ve accomplished, especially considering summer is the busiest time of year for our family. I’m confident that my WIP is actually going to be…[Read more] -

Need a bit of help here. Now I don’t want to say too much because of spoilers, but HELP!
*ahem, ahem. What noise comes to your mind when you think of a shell (reasonably big) breaking and falling onto a wooden floor?
But you have to make sure that your audience doesn’t know what has happened?
@kate-flournoy @faithdk @emma-flournoy @christi-eaton @d…[Read more]-
Like shattering glass, perhaps with a duller ring to it as the wood would absorb a lot of the sound and the shell is hollow, besides.
@Bluejay-
Hmmmm… I’d have to agree with Kate. It doesn’t quite have the tinkling resonance you’d expect from glass (because I have dropped many a glass in my days). Almost like what I’d imagine a pot shattering would sound like, if you want to use a comparison.
-
You’re not the only one to drop glasses. *I managed to drop a jar of Vegemite once. It was rather a mess*
Yes, I’m wanting a comparison. Originally I had, “the sound of a thousand stones falling to the ground.” But I don’t think it would shatter like that or make that sound.
-
-
-
Well, it also depends on the type of wood floor it is. Is it actual, solid wood? (unfortunately this seems to be becoming rarer, at least in my area) Or is it laminate wood floor? The sound would be different if it is.
-
Oh yes, and just to clarify, it breaks after it hits the wood floor, right? The way you worded it kind of suggested it breaks before hitting… *grins mischievously*
-
-
*grins back* Shhh…it breaks before it hits the ground. It is the good old solid wooden floor. @corissa-maiden-of-praise.
-
@BlueJay Well, that changes things. *ponders* Perhaps… well, how does it break then? We must take that into account if we are to accurately describe the sound. 😉
-
@corissa-maiden-of-praise You’re prying! You just want to know what happens don’t you??? 😉 *suspicious stare* It gets whacked on someone’s head. *A hard head* 🙂 *sniggers*
-
Goodness, this sounds terribly exciting. I can’t wait to read it! 🙂

-
@bluejay, Ahhh! This is a really hard question. I honestly can’t think of anything except what everyone else has already said, so, um, yeah! 🙂
-
Thanks @winter-rose That was what I was thinking too, but I wasn’t sure that a clay jar fitted as an example, so I reworded it and I ‘think’ I’ve got it.
@corissa-maiden-of-praise Glad you think so. One day…-
@BlueJay Whenever anything is cracked over someone’s head, you can generally count on the story being exciting. 😀

@bluejay, sounds like you’ve got it already, but I agree with the others—like pottery, just a little clearer and harder.

Who’s going to write with me??? (for 45 minutes) -
Jess replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 5 months ago
I will be writing/outlining/staring at the screen for 25 minutes, if anyone wants to join me. @bluejay @overcomer (sorry, I know you just wrote…)

@jess No worries. Yeah, there’s always next time.
@overcomer Gibberish is fine as long as you can understand it. 🙂 -

@overcomer I am working on a poem and nearly finished it. But I have to go now, so it was good timing. What did you do?

@overcomer HAHAHA *going*

@overcomer That sounds awesome. As long as my laptop holds out, I just split water and it splashed it. *throws hand on forehead* Doooooooommmmmmmmmmmm…….. *just kidding* 😛 🙂 😀

You are most welcome, friend! 🙂 Glad you got it figured out. Happy writing!
@spradlin 🙂 *whispers* It’s ready for beta readers now. Psst, @daeus are you interested in reading “the Golden Conch”?
How many people should I send it to in at once?
@bluejay Yes, I am interested, but I’m a little swamped right now. I’m beta reading two other novels and Kate might send me the second piece of hers any time. Would it be alright if I postpone for a month?
Sure. @daeus
Btw I’m not sure you ever saw this so I’m posting it again, is this a haiku poem?
Soft kittens are cute
Fun to hold and to play with
Be very gentle.
🙂
@bluejay Yep.
Oh good. My youngest sister had to write one for school. She’ll be pleased to know that it was right. 🙂
LOL! Wish I had time to do the thing. SUBMIT IT WHEN YOU’RE DONE THOUGH! cuz that’s the cool thing to do. xD
When it’s done, it will be coming your way. But I hope you have patience cause I have a feeling it might be some time… XD
Haha! Not a problem! Can’t wait to see it. 🙂
@Bluejay I’d love to, but unfortunately I’m way to busy right now to take on any extra projects. Keep me on the list though. 😉 Perhaps a later draft…
