@faithdk That’s funny. *writes that into word document of future stories to write* Seriously I can already picture it too. 😛

@bluejay, yeah it probably would be. Ooh, I can just picture a super hero cat or something, sliding down the gutter (with a cape!), off to save the universe one good deed at a time! …Sorry, that just sorta popped into my head, talking about cats and gutters and whatnot. 😛

@faithdk thanks for dropping in. 🙂 I think I’ll end up putting a tree in, just because it is a story for children. I might make it a bit easier for a child to visualize.

@bluejay… like this story idea! 🙂 Sorry, I got here a little late, but it sounds good to me! I agree with Kate, the gutter would probably work. But you could still add a tree, or a small shed, or something if you wanted to. Those would still work…

Noooo… not necessarily. I think she could just climb down the gutter.

Awwwwww…..thanks @kate-flournoy you just made my day. *wipes happy tears with a tissue*
Do you think she needs a tree near the house to get down? I know cats can drop and land on their feet, but would it be better for her to climb down? Would that be nicer for a child to hear/read? -

Sounds just peachy to me, @bluejay! Go for it! You know, you’re really doing much better about coming up with creative story ideas. Keep it up! You’re growing. 😀

He does sound quite fun, @Daeus. I love it when nameless minor characters are identified by their specific traits. 🙂

about 90,000 words,
*groans* Oh, the bliss of dealing with such a small word-count! I know, I know, it’s my fault… *sniff* How I would love to write something that short, though! 😛

BlueJay replied to the topic Writer's Corner in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 5 months ago
@daeus Congrats. That’s a great idea. Maybe I should do that too…
@kate-flournoy I know, I’m so relieved to have solved it. Head back to the topic at the missing cats and tell me if my idea would work. (and you too @daeus) -

Ooh wow @Daeus three months, lucky… how long is ‘full-length’ for you?
XD he sounds fun… 🙂 What’s his name? Or does he have a name yet?

With much thinking of myself as a cat 🙂 I have decided that the attic is the best option. So this is how it works.
Matt takes a load of empty boxes to the attic and leaves the door open. Missy, curious cat, enters and when Matt returns he doesn’t see her due to the boxes. He dumps the next load and shuts the door. Missy is trapped. But a small…[Read more] -

@kate-flournoy and @daeus I got lots done. I’m not sure how many words exactly as I have been all over the place in my story but I got it all sorted out. I had some major problems in it. Time was the main issue, but that’s all done. *Very happy*

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Writer's Corner in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 5 months ago
@Daeus 991 words. Did you reach your goal?

*the doctor arrives and groans loudly* @daeus you need to keep your hands away from @kate-flournoy. She gets very into the mood of stamping and slamming things and doesn’t look out for hands on paper.

I’ve one character who was only supposed to be in a scene, as part of background and setting for another character. But as soon as he slammed through the inn door, I knew he’d need a subplot of his own. He developed surprisingly swiftly…I hardly had to plan it. Just figure out how to get him a decent place in the story, which ended up not being…[Read more]
