ClaireC posted an update 9 years, 5 months ago
Current Status – boring my mother as I tell her the entire plot of my book, (over several days) complete with names, backstory, ghosts, lies, truths, Thing-your-character-wants, Thing-your-character-needs, plot twists, etc. The whole load. She’s very patient. I’m finding it very useful to verbalize all my ideas, making sure everything makes sense.…[Read more]

@overcomer I think I’ve got enough of a twist to it. But I’ve written a couple of better summarys or burbs. I need to make something halfway in between the two.
Some tales might be better left alone…
When Aydel realized she could actually be the long lost daughter of a lord, she decides to use that position to bring help for the people in the…[Read more]

Jackets are amazing! I feel going on adventures whenever I’m wearing one.
Sure, I’ll make one on September 22, the day summer officially ends (sadly). It shall be done. *bows and walks away ominously*

@overcomer
Falls my favorite season as well. I love the weather, but its not cold enough to have to wear poofy coats that makes my hair staticky and then it flies everywhere. 🙂
Ooh, I like that idea! Maybe we should make an Awesome Winter Writing Club for those who want to make goals for finishing their books as well. -

@Julia-r Ah, you found it! Welcome to the writers’ corner, where writers from all over the world find a time when they write at the exact same time to avoid distraction. So, say I asked you to write for an hour, we would write for an hour then meet back here to touch base, see how many words we wrote and compare. It’s more of an accountability…[Read more]

Woah. *holds onto computer desk to keep from fainting* What is going on here? It looks awesome, but, like most people, I don’t have time to read all 54 pages of forum to find out. @dragon-snapper ? @bluejay ? @overcomer ? @clairec ? @daeus ? @jess ?

… Um, @overcomer, I appear to be in the same state that you are. That is so weird… and I meant that in I’ve started school up and stuff. So it’s almost over.
I’ll do it for the seven days of summer we have left. 🙂 My WIP is a fantasy based in a world known as Spondorium. I started it two and a half months ago, almost three, and am on Chapter…[Read more] -

I’m in VA as well. I don’t know if you saw the poem I wrote, the Awareness of Grace, but I’m pretty sure it says I live in Virginia. Huh. Figures. 😉 -

@overcomer I’m writing a little bit more but I’m getting up for a quick break cause I was writing before we started at 10:15. My legs are going to sleep!

@overcomer How’d you do? I wrote 1,009 words. I’m pretty excited cause I have’t been able to write for about two months! Thanks for writing with me!

@overcomer @bluejay Sorry, sorry. I know that dragon’s can be creepy from time to time. :l I’ll have to do a picture prompt sometime. I’ve never tried one, but being a visual learner, it might work well. It’s just TOO funny! See ya!
@jess Sorry, but it’s 9 and too much screens hurt my head.
@bluejay I love it! It’s perfect. 🙂 😀 -

@anna-brie, sorry forgot the ‘@’ symbol in front of your name!
@clairec Thanks for the reminder. I’m sure I don’t thank Mommy enough for all that she does for us. I’ve begun to realize that she doesn’t have such a thing as free time; we 5 children take it all up. It’s hard for me to imagine making a sacrifice like that, every day, all my life like she has, and I really appreciate her. Three cheers for…[Read more]
@sarah-h. I call my parents Mummy and Daddy, but when I’m talking to other people, I generally say Mum and Dad.
@clairec It’s so true! My “mum” (I’m American, so I spell it “mom,” but I like the sound of “mum” more, for some reason… 😛 ) does so much for me, and I often take it for granted. 😉 Glad you’re able to sort out your plot and everything!
@gretald, Thanks! 🙂
