Mallory O'Bier started the topic Editing Advice (Poem) in the forum Poetry Critiques 9 years, 6 months ago
Hey, 🙂
So, I have this poem from last year that I know needs some work, (ahem, a lot) but before I hacked it to pieces I thought I would share it first and see what y’all think.
Does it make any sense? Do you have any suggestions? Any ideas? Give me your harshest criticism! Hahaha! 😉 (Seriously, please do! And tell me if it’s terrible!…[Read more]

BlueJay posted a new activity comment 9 years, 6 months ago
@sarah-h I was nervous. Extremely nervous. I only expected a highly commended. I will definitely let you read Chaos and The Drummer Boy. I shall send them to @spradlin for publishing. (Only with Chaos, it’s a series of stories which if you read number 3. (which this one is) it won’t make much sense. I shall have to send in 1 & 2.

@sarah-h I generally write from 5-6pm (your time, I think). I’ve been a bit slack lately, and sometimes I only do half an hour. But I can also write from 7pm onward if that suits you better. But I’d probably only be able to do that time once a week.

BlueJay posted an update 9 years, 6 months ago
I have got BIG news. (No I didn’t just get engaged.) I entered a writing competition a few months ago and the presentation for the prizes was last night. I had just moved out of the 14-18yrs, so I was against adults. *nervous gulp* But here are the results.
Adult short story – Anna’s Savanna – 1st place
Adult poetry – I’m proud to be Australian -…[Read more]-
Wow!! Way to go, @Bluejay! Great work! Congratulations! So proud of you. 😀
-
@kate-flournoy Oh, thanks. 🙂 I was so shocked when it happened. 😀
-
Wow, @bluejay , that’s awesome! 😀
-
I hope we get to read some of this stuff …
-
@overcomer *taps side of nose* You might… *mysterious grin* 😀
And thanks. 🙂

-
That’s fantastic and super exciting! Congratulations! I love the fact that we have amazing KeePers who are sharing their stories. Great work! 🙂 🙂 🙂
-
From stories shared, we learn. 🙂 @christi-eaton I should go in for quote making. 😛
-
You totally should @bluejay 🙂 Who knows I may have to use some of your stuff. I love quotes, and accidentally stumbling across good ones 🙂
-
-
-
Sweet @bluejay! 🙂
-
😉 @daeus Totally (please tell me that you’ve seen Finding Nemo.)
-
@bluejay I have. What does that have to do with this?
-
I got it! 😀
-
@christi-eaton & @julia-r Yay! You got it. 🙂
-
-
-
-
@bluejay– Awesome! That’s so cool! Writing competitions scare me. Way to be brave!
-
@julia-r Writing competitions can be scary. I felt sick as we were driving over. But it is a great reward for all the hard work put into story writing.
-
-
Congratulations! That’s really exciting. You keep writing those stories, and someday you’ll make a difference in the world.
-
@anna-brie I hope to make a difference one day. My younger sister wants to publish a set of stories about a cat called Chaos, that I’ve written, so maybe one day….
-
-
Woo Hoo! Way to go, @bluejay
-
@clairec Thank you. 🙂
-
-
Congratulations, @bluejay!!!!!! That is so exciting!
-
@hope I still can’t believe that it’s happened!!!!!!! Thanks.
-

@dragon-snapper Finding writing competitions is definitely hard. I only know one or two.
*grins* No worries. *takes one of the ice creams and sits licking it happily*-
@dragon-snapper For some reason your comment has disappeared. 🙁 Did you want to write a new one? 😉
-
*sniffs pitifully* It doesn’t like me!!! Wahhh!
Anyways, I said something about finding KP in my search for writing competitions, and Congratulations!-
@dragon-snapper I think it was partly my fault. Did you “reply” to the comment I sent to Hope. Cause I found a spelling error in my message, after you had posted, and so I deleted it and made a new message and it probably took yours too. You can go to you history if you wanted to find out what you said.

Yay!!! That’s so exciting! I would’ve been so nervous to go up against adults. Good for you! 🙂 Would you mind posting Chaos and The Drummer Boy? I’d sure like to read them. 🙂

@sarah-h I’m better only because I on medication. After October as things run out, we won’t be replacing them, so we’ll find out if we’ve fixed the problem or not.

@Sarah-H
The First Fleet was, well the First Fleet. About a thousand people on 11 ships came out from England to found the colony that was the first European settlement in Australia.We actually do have some some public holidays for things like the Queens birthday, or a show day. They’re basically days most people don’t go to work. Nothing very…[Read more]

@Christi-eaton: SOOOOO jealous! I have never been to a Disney Park! (*bursts into sobs*) I might just have to wait for my honeymoon. What is your favorite ride/attraction/park food? I’ll try to post some of my sketches sometime. Btw, did you draw your profile pic? It’s awesome!

BlueJay replied to the topic Where do you live? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago
@sarah-h Yeah, everyone goes crazy. I really don’t think most people understand what Christmas is about. They just celebrate it because they get presents.
It is my singing teacher’s end of year concert. All her students, (those who want to) singing a song or two that they have learned that year. It’s lots of fun.
We do not have small holidays…[Read more] -

@his-instrument Yes we have spring and autumn. Winter falls in the months of June, July and August. We are expecting snow down to very low levels on Monday. (Your Sunday)
@sarah-h I HATE Halloween too. We (my family) don’t celebrate Christmas or Easter. @anna-brie I think Halloween is rather a big thing in Victoria.
Yes, Australia Day is a big…[Read more] -

Anyone writing now or in a few hours? My book is calling me. I am open any time from now- 3.5 hours from now. (because it is too messy figuring out time zones.) @bluejay, @sarah-h @dragon-snapper, @daeus, @kate-flournoy, @overcomer, @anyone else I missed

Anna Brie replied to the topic Where do you live? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago
@Sarah-H, people have been trying hard for a while to bring Holloween in over here. I don’t think it’s much of a thing yet, but I certainly don’t like shopping so much in the couple of weeks before.
We don’t have any really big holidays apart from Christmas and Easter, but there are a couple. Australia Day id the anniversary of the First Fleet…[Read more] -
BlueJay replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago
@sarah-h I found out from the “where do you live” topic and when it is 11pm in Arizona it is 4pm here. (Just the next day) 🙂 So that will suit me fine on some days. I would probably only be able to write for 45 minutes, as we have tea (supper, I think Americans call it) at 5pm.
I don’t mind if you tag me when you want to write and I’ll let you…[Read more] -

Anna Brie replied to the topic Bible Challenge in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago
@Sarah-h I don’t think I’ll be reading much this coming week. I’m going to attempt going at NaNoWriMo pace with my writing, for one week, to see if I can handle it. But I’m rewriting, so it’s rather different and probably not a very good indicator.

@bluejay Great! I can’t wait to read them! 🙂
