@emma-flournoy @ethryndal Thanks, guys! 😀 Normally I wouldn’t go for this since it’s such a small word limit, and I struggled to try one that had 1,7500 (2,500 more words than this) but the prize is… extremely generous and I do have something that I actually need it for. 🙂

@kate-flournoy No smoke? That was anti-climatic 🙁 😀
@daeus Coolies; I should probably check out her blog more. Any posts you recommend reading in particular?

@daeus Oh, and the blogger is a Christian. Bonus! I always love finding Christian writers – it’s a wonderful mix, isn’t it? 😀

@daeus Wow, that article on Boba Fett was, wow 😀 I never realised before you can develop so much character with one line/thought/action/look. Thanks for that!

@dragon-snapper (Having just seen the BFG, your name sounds like something he would say 😉 ) Yes, I have gotten the advice of keeping minimum description, etc, that is something I will keep in mind as I write.
@kate-flournoy *waves away smoke* *cough cough* I look forward to it!
@daeus Ah, I hadn’t thought of that before, writing a scene rather…[Read more]

Hi, all!
I wasn’t sure whether to post this in Short Stories or here, so… Yeah. Anyways.
I am wanting to enter a competition that’s here in Australia, and one of the requirements is for it to be no more than 1,500 words. Normally I’d say that’s crazy, however the prize has encouraged me to try the challenge.
I’ve written a short story before,…[Read more]

Thanks, @sierra-r , @emma-flournoy , @winter-rose , @ethryndal , @jess and @clairec . Your prayers mean so much to me.
Also, I just decided that I’m going to play my guitar at his funeral on Saturday, and I’m pretty nervous because I’m a beginner and I’ve never done anything like this before, so if you could pray that I’ll have courage and play…[Read more]

Louise Fowler replied to the topic Hear Ye, Hear Ye!! *excited peasants step forth* 😛 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
@sierra I have no idea, but that reminds me of something; I found an online app that you can paste your writing into and it’ll show you words that are passive voice, rather than active, complicated words that have simpler ones of the same meaning, and sentences that are hard and difficult to read (so, two levels) So I did that, and was shocked to…[Read more]

Louise Fowler replied to the topic Size of a Writer's Vocabulary in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
I got an estimated 21,900 words. To be honest, I thought I’d do quite well (I am a wordy person) 😛 but I was surprised how many words there were that I didn’t know! Anyways, that was an interesting test to take; thanks for sharing, Sierra 😀
