I have another question, @reaganramm . I feel like I’ve asked this before, but I don’t remember. Do I include my bio with a submission as an attachment or within the body of the email itself?

@rolena-hatfield, My siblings and I make up lots of “games,” where we play the characters in the story. One of these “games” was about prince and princess siblings, who lived locked up in a room in their own castle. Their parents (the king and the queen) had gone on a trip, and the siblings had been receiving letters from the parents. One day,…[Read more]

Haha… lovely topic @rolena-hatfield. I don’t know that I have any just rolling-on-the-floor-laughing hilarious, but one I had that is probably copyrighted 😉 is a world where everyone is born with a particular gemstone that belongs to them, and the properties of that gemstone leak over into the person’s personality. For instance, if your stone…[Read more]

BlueJay replied to the topic Anna's Savanna by BlueJay in the forum Short Story Critiques 10 years, 5 months ago
@anna-brie I just realized that you and my main character have the same name. *Anna* And I go and call it boring. I just have to let you know, that is nothing against your name or you. In fact I think that Anna is a great name; (Actually the first name of one of my favorite actresses) but I needed something to rhyme with Savanna.

Ok. That’s great @daeus. I’m writing and still have 15 minutes left if you want to tag along. Or we can extend it today, since we were a bit late starting. You call. (I’ll still be writing)

@kate-flournoy Of course I like your donkey. *so cute* and I love your sheep too. His wool looks really curly, which is great. And I love Joseph too, and the colours, and EVERYTHING!!! Great job Kate. 😀 😉

You know you’re a writer when you visit the US Air Force Museum and spend your entire time wandering around reading the plaques about the pilots instead of looking at the airplanes. 😛

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Staying Interested in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 5 months ago
Yes @anna-brie and @hannah-c and @faithdk, don’t be too hard on yourselves starting out. Don’t be afraid to acknowledge your mistakes, but don’t be afraid to keep writing either. The only way to write better is to keep writing, no matter how terrible your first attempts are.
Seriously guys, my first attempts… heh-heh… to call them junk would…[Read more]

@bluejay you seem to be an animal lover— do you like my donkey? 😉 😉 😀

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Painting in the forum Art 10 years, 5 months ago
Yes, that was one of the reasons I dropped watercolor for oils and acrylics. It took for-ev-er to get enough layers to make shadows and textures realistic. So glad you like the painting @David! 😀 Here, let’s see if I can get another one…

This one is a classic example of the difficulties of doing vibrant watercolors— notice how streaked and…[Read more] -

@anna-brie, I feel like that too sometimes. I think you should just go for it! Do the best you can and see what the end result is. Also, I don’t know if you have this problem but I do: Don’t edit your story too much when your just writing the first draft. Sometimes I have to catch myself from doing that. It’s as if I’m trying to improve something…[Read more]

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Pencil/ charcoal drawing and shading in the forum Art 10 years, 5 months ago
People. Beyond a doubt, people, which is odd, since I have trouble drawing them as well as I can draw some things. But what’s so fun about people is that no two are alike— I love trying to capture their personalities in paint almost as much as I love trying to capture them in words.
I do love humor, as well, though I seem to be better at…[Read more] - Load More
