@Perfectfifths (notice I got the f in there 🙂 ) Alas, I haven’t any suggestions, though I may yet so don’t write me off as completely unhelpful. 😉

Though here is something kind of abstract: Light as more of a physical thing than just sun derived. Light as something you can touch and hold, kind of like the memories in Inside Out. Something you…[Read more]

@perfectfifths Phooey, I missed the f in your tag up there, and I didn’t even catch it. XD Do you know what your story’s going to be about yet? Besides light, I mean.

And I hope you don’t mind that I’m being nosy. I always like learning about other peoples writing endeavors. 😉

@perfectfifths Sorry I forgot to get back to you. If you could create a google doc and share it with me, that would be the best. I don’t normally prefer that platform for editing books, but I would in this instance.

@perfectfifths Btw, if you’re allowed to have outside input, I’ll volunteer to beta read. I think I can handle 1,500 words. 😉

@PerfectFifths Go forth and conquer. 🙂

@perfectfifths I have nothing to add to anything that has just been said, other than keep it simple and sweet, but I hope you win!

@PerfectFifths Looks like you’re in good hands. 😀
To your last question though—that sounds like it’d work, as long as you don’t make it too long to begin with and then don’t want to cut so much.

I hope you win. 🙂

@perfectfifths Not particularly. Most all of them are good.

@perfectfifths Yep. She’s pretty sweet. A lot of people around here read her regularly.

@PerfectFifths um… well… what they said. 😛 Thanks guys.
I’ll come back if I think of anything else. 😉

@perfectfifths. I know. It’s pretty sweet.

What @dragon-snapper said. Focus on vivid verbs for writing. Here’re some initial thoughts, @perfectfifths . . .

–The plot will be prime in a super short story.
–Characters have to make choices.
–A short story is like a one-act play or a short film. Every moment escalates the story until you reach the climax at the end.
–Keep dialogue sparse.…[Read more]

@perfectfifths What I would recommend is don’t think of this as if you need to plan a plot. Plot carries the connotation of something big. Just write one scene (i.e. a firefighter rescues a girl from a burning house.) It’s really not that hard to keep one scene short.

The thing then is making the scene meaningful. You can think of this scene as…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper @perfectfifths The quote’s from M.W. Smith in 1889 😀 Even back then people were complaining about vocabulary reduction!

@winter-rose:

Okay. I’ll try and work on the question-asking-ness. 😛

@hannah-krynicki:

Excellent! 😀 Larger text it is, then…
Yeah, texturing is the hardest part for me. I can do lighting pretty well if I’m concentrating on that.. That’s how I got the metallic look. ^_^

@ethryndal:

Okay… It’s just showing the main characters, but maybe,…[Read more]
