Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic The (Awesome) Summer Writing Club! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
So, (here in Virginia, anyway,) it is the (gasp!) last day of Summer! In honor of this momentous occasion, this dramatic changing of the seasons, I was wondering you would all post an update on how you’re doing with your writing projects?
How did your Summer (or honorary Summer) go? 🙂

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?

Well for those of you who don’t know today is @anne-swiftblade‘s aka Sarah van den Ham’s 16th birthday! I figured we should all celebrate this wonderful day of her birth. So throw around those hearty huzzah’s, @daeus you can supply us with all the cookies and ice cream and we’ll have a jolly good time. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

BlueJay started the topic Types of Poetry in the forum Poetry 8 years, 2 months ago
Okay, so I’m starting to explore poetry and the different types. The ones I have discovered, I have loved, but I’m sure that there are plenty more out there.
So this is where you can put every type of poetry. (with an example would be good).
Let me tag a few people to get this going:

Sorry guys. I’m being terribly slack. So we should be on the next two chapters. So I need a suggestion.
Does we…
1. Just do two chapters a week and plow our way through it?
Or…
2.Do we have a week in between for reading the next two chapters?People, it’s up to you. @graciekry @his-instrument @jess @clairec @the-happy-bookaholic @dragon-snapp…[Read more]

Mark Kamibaya started the topic Structure and Character Arcs in the forum Characters 8 years, 2 months ago
So I’ve always wanted to know the answer to this question: What is everyone’s favorite type of structure and character arc? I’m talking about the Bell Curve, the Save the Cat! beats, the Hero’s Journey, the multiple act structure, the Three Act Structure (there are endless variations on this one, but I’m talking about the classic one), and there…[Read more]

Snapper replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
@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]

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*
@bluejay
*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.
