Hope Ann replied to the topic Plot help please! in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 10 years ago
The book sounds interesting, though everyone has pretty much beat me to what I’d say… Experiments of some kind which are why the kids have the abilities they have. If you connect the abilities to one thing, that might be easier…have you read Michael Vey? The writing in some of the last books is awful, but the story itself is pretty good,…[Read more]

Hey, @Mark-Kamibaya welcome back!! It would be a poor welcome indeed if someone attacked you now… XD
I do see what you’re saying, and to some extent I agree. For the most part, however, we aren’t talking about scene-by-scene summaries. In @Daeus‘s case, it was several chapters summarizing a character’s childhood. (At least I assume that’s what…[Read more]

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Plot help please! in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 10 years ago
Shucks, @Jess. 😉
Maybe the parents got taken by the government because they went outside the city boundaries for some (important to them, but illegal nonetheless) reason?
And then perhaps the kids want to change the government because if it’s oppressive enough to imprison people simply for leaving a city (though the fact that those people are…[Read more]

@sarah-h. I can only assume you’re referring to my long silence! 🙂 If so, I was just taking some time off last week, as I had an audition coming up which I had to prepare for. It’s over now, though. 🙂

hmm, I echo @bluejay, Love writing it, but can’t critique it. I got here a little late to join the party, but I agree with just about everything everyone else has said. Nice poem! @overcomer

What do you guys think about blogs? Do any of you have blogs?
I’ve been sorta considering creating one … only I’m not entirely sure what it would be about …

Maybe the fact that their parents are missing has something to with their powers being looked down upon? Maybe the parents were once part of some government experiment to create enhanced peacekeepers that shut down due to complications. Maybe the effects of that experiment affected the kids … or maybe the kids were the experiment and none of…[Read more]

Sure thing, @jess ! 🙂
I did alright … I discovered that most of my poem stinks and that editing is going to be harder than even I anticipated, but … that’s writing for ya. 😉

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years ago
That worked out, actually, @jess . I had a few things to do myself. Are you ready to start now?

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years ago
Awesome, @jess ! You ready to start in 10 minutes, and write for about 30 minutes?

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years ago
Does anybody want to write in 15 minutes? (I have a few things to do first)

*shakes head* Promotion accepted, I guess.
The other day I posted a picture on twitter of my feet…I’d traced my veins I could see with a felted pen (I had a novella to rework and didn’t want to do it. It was only natural to turn my pen elsewhere) and got a reply ‘when you pick up a pen to write, but it’s all in vein’. I’m still not sure what I…[Read more]

@sarah-h I’m going to stop now. I wrote 447 words (I think.) 🙂 But I’ve run out of ideas. I was writing 100 words stories which were fun, though.

@spradlin‘s answer to everything, “Submit it” 🙂 *Grins*
I love writing poetry @overcomer, but I’m terrible at critiquing it. 🙁 Sorry. -
