@daeus I’ve had a couple of people read it, and I’m still interested in your offer of beta reading as well, but as for sharing with every one else, I want to wait, is all. So, if I wanted to send it just to you for now, how would I do that?

@i-j-anderson This is a cool idea! I love drawing characters (that doesn’t mean I’m always good at it 😛 Sometimes I get a gem, but it takes a lot of time sometimes) and I would also be interested in seeing what other people’s ideas for my characters would be.

Another thing I’d suggest we could do is after people draw other peoples’ character,…[Read more]

@daues Oh, yes, that would work. Thanks.

But I think I’ll do that after I submit it to the contest. I’ll let you all know when I’m ready 🙂

@ethryndal Thanks, I thought it a relief to to it this way, it means I didn’t have to think of a story and write it in 1,500 words or less – I just had to fix up existing one to be 1,500 words or less.

As for sharing, I’m not exactly sure, but @daeus said putting it in Google docs and sharing the link – though I’m not sure about that, because I…[Read more]

An update for those of you interested – I have mostly gotten the short story written. It’s actually a scene from a pre-existing longer book I wrote last year, which I had fixed and edited a bit to make sense as it’s own short story (removing irrelevant plotpoints, reintroducing the characters, things like that) I had asked the opinion of one of my…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper That’s not from Ratatouille is it?

@clairec Oh, I have some competition, do I? 😛 Here ya go

@dragon-snapper Yeah, I kinda figured I was wrong 😛 Thanks for the clarification – this will be handy for all of us to know! 😀

@daeus @dragon-snapper, yes, having no punctuation there looks right, but, not to question you or anything, Snapper, I think that the “Well” would be capitalised seeing as it’s the beginning of a sentence of dialogue for the character. I could be wrong, but there’s my two cents 😉 😛

@graciegirl Haha, I think it’s one of those things where you either love it or hate it (not that I’ve done a survey or anything…) 😀 😉

@winter-rose An excellent deduction 😉

Here’s one to kickstart this up again…

“Shut up, everyone! Shut up! I’m trying to think!”

@daeus Oh, are you publishing it on Amazon? My friend did that just yesterday.

I think I’ll pass on the email thing, sorry. But I’m still super excited for your publishing! 😀

@daues Oh, are you publishing it on Amazon? My friend did that just yesterday.

I think I’ll pass on the email thing, sorry. But I’m still super excited for your publishing! 😀

@daeus Congratulations on getting it published! That is super-exciting!

*reads synopsis* Ooh, I remember when you posted that before to get help at editing it 😀

I’m just wondering how getting the advanced copy and giving a review would work? 😀

Congrats, again!

@ethryndal I grant you pardon, so long as you commit no such wrong again 😉 I shall play around with ideas and see how it goes – I have a lot of time for this, which is nice 🙂

@ethryndal Ha, I got emailed this time 😉

Heeeeyy… that’s pretty good! I might be able to do something with that! I now remember a little story I read about animals at the beginning of the world, and the world was all in darkness, so the different animals travelled to get the light. It was also like one of those stories that explains why some…[Read more]

@ethryndal No worries there; I saw your comment 🙂

As for what my story’s going to be about, I’m not sure at this point. I started with a small idea about a candle and the different meanings lighting one could have, but I wasn’t feeling. I do have a half-written piece about how and why light and darkness are representatives of good and evil,…[Read more]

@ethryndal All I know is that the closing date is April 19, so I have quite a bit of time. I don’t know when the winner will be announced or anything.

I shall copy-paste the requirements – I am open to any and all suggestions at this point 😀 I just want to point out I don’t believe this is a Christian magazine or contest, so I am going to avoid…[Read more]
