Well, @kate-flournoy, uh …
I haven’t finished a draft of my novel yet, but I’m still writing it, as well as editing another poem.
It’s not exactly the results I was looking for, but I’m pretty happy with it. I’ve had writer’s block. I beat it. I’ve had doubts. They are gone. (ish) I am still writing, and that is what matters. 🙂
And I’m…[Read more]

@Overcomer Well, I finished and published Song of the Sword this summer, which was exciting. I also wrote up my third novella for Legends of Light…and now I’m scraping it and rewriting it this fall for reasons. And I’m almost finished editing my fantasy novel, Fidelyon!

Welcome @zcpeterson! What sort of things do you like to write? I enjoy fantasy and futuristic fiction…along with some retold fairy tales. 😉

@overcomer I think I said something crazy like writing 10 short stories. Hmm…in a sense I was probably close as I wrote at least three longer stories plus lots of writing prompt stories. I also got lots of poems written.
So I’m very happy with what I got done. 🙂

@bluejay Ummm…how would a shell breaking on a wooden floor sound? Like an egg shell or a sea shell? I’d think maybe a high tinkling or cracking sound…

@BlueJay *sheepishly brings back chocolate* What, how was I supposed to resist? *returns glare* *snickers* *bursts out laughing* *clutches stomach* Oh, doctor, I think I have a tummy ache! *smirks* 😀
@ZCPeterson, as you can see, we’re all pretty crazy. I’m probably crazy right now mainly because it’s way past my bed-time. 😛 😀

@Overcomer *hem* @Dragon-Snapper is a she. 😛
My summer… eh… it went okay. I never did get around to the Snow White novella, and I’m still editing my WIP… but I’m actually pretty happy with what I’ve accomplished, especially considering summer is the busiest time of year for our family. I’m confident that my WIP is actually going to be…[Read more] -

@kate-flournoy That’s fantabulous that you made up a new word. *giggles*

You see @zcpeterson We are all nuts here. *and naughty, glares at Corissa* -

So, (here in Virginia, anyway,) it is the (gasp!) last day of Summer! (Or maybe it’s tomorrow. We’ll stretch it into two days for extra effect) 😉 In honor of this momentous occasion, this dramatic changing of the seasons, I was wondering if you would all post an update on how you’re doing with your writing projects?

@anne-of-lothlorien That isn’t why I glared! I glared because of all the threats you’ve been making. *repeats glare*
Oh, and it does send an email… to spam. 😉 Actually, I don’t get any other spam, so I haven’t corrected it because it’s easier to have it all in one place. 😉 But you can check you notifications too; it lets you know if you’ve…[Read more]

@ZCPeterson welcome! Another poet! We can always use more poets around here. The world can never have enough of poetry. 😉
And don’t worry; most of the forumers were stalkers long before they ever actually got involved. *winks* I think that’s because most writers are introverts. *grins*

Can you give it a comparison @hope?
Rather than just a high tinkling or cracking sound, but like the sound of glass or a branch?
*winces* *rubs forehead* Let’s see…
I’m assuming it’s not an egg, or else it would just give a mushy splat. (Though I may be wrong…tell me if I am.) The problem is I’ve never actually heard a shell breaking, but if I were to take a guess I might compare a shell breaking to brittle crunch, the shattering of thin glass, or the cracking of a stone…
@hope No, you’re not wrong. It is a sea shell. I feel as if I need to find one and experiment with it. 😉
It would have to be a pretty thin sea shell to break when dropped on a wood floor. I have small ones and they’re pretty tough, though if it were stepped on… But a large one wouldn’t be stepped on, and if it’s large then it’s probably thick so if it broke, it might just break in half…?
