Sarah Spradlin

I just realized @faithdk, that my time was out. So you had probably finished. But I still wrote for 45min and completed a poem about birds. It is very cute. (Even if I do say so myself) 😉

Awesome Sarah. Great work!

@spradlin

Yeah, @faithdk. I can join you for a bit. 😀

I’m gonna be writing for about an hour if anyone wants to tag along with me.

@dbhgodreigns
Yeah, that’s definitely better!!! I like the part about the “discordant solo.” Very creative. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Whoops forgot taggy thing @dbhgodreigns

Joshua is writing this because he wants to. I picture him as a bully. Yep, definitely a bully. But if something really bad happens, he is sorry for it immediately.
Thank you. That’s a good letter. I can see I shall have to do some serious thinking about it. 😀

@kate-flournoy, Lovely thoughts! 😉
@daeus, Oh, yeah. I struggle with showing and not telling when I’m writing. A lot. @ingridrd and I were looking through some of our novel chapters after the convention, and we found soooo much telling…Thank God for rough drafts!

@dbhgodreigns, Yes, I see what you’re saying. I completely agree about Tim Shoemaker’s books; they’re awesome!

@zoe-wingfeather, Hmm, those are some interesting points. I’ve never really thought about using smell like that before. And names! Am I the only one who spends 30 hours looking at baby name lists just trying to find the perfect name for the MC? XD Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Chloe!

@gretald
Here’s one: Oliver had an exam coming up; he was nervous.

@bluejay, well, I guess we envy each other! Haha 😉
That is sweet! 😀 Awesome job! See, you’ve written a novelette. So short stories aren’t the only thing you can write. 😉 Seriously, awesome job! 🙂

Thanks @aratrea. I really appreciate it. 😀

YES! YES! YES! and YES!
Ok, clarification: a jumper is what you American’s would call hoodies. *At least, I think* (Actually I had better change that as this is suppose to be an American story.) *the joys of different words which are for the exact same thing* 😉
You shouldn’t loathe letter writing. That’s great fun. 😀 (Alright, confession: I did…[Read more]

Thanks both of you.
(That’s ok @kate-flournoy, I had to ask my family not long ago, “What is Australia Day all about?” “And “What’s the capital of Australia?” *Some Aussie I am*)
