Sounds like an awesome idea. Not sure I’ll have a heap of time, but hey, who knows. Count me in.

@Daeus hm, okay… ‘is cheerful, tugs on sleeve-cuffs; fascinating’?

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Characterization study in the forum Characters 10 years, 2 months ago
@Daeus ah… I get it. Wow, this is going to be so fun. I don’t know how steadily I’ll be able to do this, but I’ll definitely jot down anything I can.
Just to make sure I actually do get it, say someone walks in the door. I notice that they’re always tugging on their sleeve-cuffs, so I jot down ‘Tugs on sleeve-cuffs; fascinating’? Is that it?

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Word Lists in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
Hm… this does sound like an interesting challenge. But unfortunately I probably wouldn’t be able to do it— I write only in the evenings and all day Saturday, and I have an eleven book series and a steampunk/scifi and several other novels to write before I’m twenty… 😛 Actually the goal is write before I’m married, which to the best of my…[Read more]

Wow, this sounds fun! I do this mentally anyway, but I’m sure I could find a notebook somewhere… and since our cabin business brings different people to our door every day, I’m all set! 😀 I don’t know how often I’ll remember to make physical note of it, but I’ll try.
Just to be clear, we can take any personality/personality trait we find and…[Read more]

I have an idea and as it is for you guys, I thought I’d found out if anyone is for it before I start. My sister does this spelling book, were she has a list of twenty words. As one of her projects she has to write something (generally a paragraph or two) using as many words as possible. The words are pretty random and sometimes impossible to work…[Read more]

Yes it is, @winter-rose . It’s actually the only podcast I listen to. Feel free to recommend others if you know of any good ones, although I honestly doubt that any could be as good as his. 🙂
I sorta draw dragons. That is, my main character in the novel I’m writing is a dragon, and I wanted to be real descriptive in my writing so I thought it…[Read more]

I’m glad you liked it, @kate-flournoy . 🙂 I almost didn’t post it because I thought it might be too weird … and I kinda cheated because the prompt reminded me of an idea I had had before for a Sci Fi story so, I really just wrote a new scene based on it. The leaves were my favorite part. 😀

@Overcomer oooh I want the rest of the story. I love how you used the leaves— masterful use of imagery there.

The last, precious days of Summer were slipping by only too fast for me. I could no longer ignore the fact that the grass was growing browner and the leafy greenness of the trees duller with every passing day, and I tried hard not to think about school as I pedaled swiftly on my way to the library.
I had just reached Penny Street when a wind…[Read more]

@Winter-Rose that is awesome! And now you feel like crashing, right? 😉

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic The (Awesome) Summer Writing Club! in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
Thanks, @winter-rose . 🙂 It’s coming together. There isn’t a lot of organizing left to do, really, it’s just time-consuming. It’s kinda like treasure hunting, only a little more tedious.
Good luck getting unlost. 😉

@daeus, @kate-flournoy Yay! Now I know how to grow mushrooms. But there’s even an easier way. Let the weather do it. Sun + rain = mushroom. And big ones too. 🙂
