Have any of you ever written a first draft of a novel before? If yes, do you have any advice, suggestions, ideas, encouragement to offer me?

You see, it’s like…[Read more]

Ok, so by now hopefully you’ve read chapters three and four. If so, it’s time to pick them apart.

I’ll start by…[Read more]

Alright everybody, The Sign Of The Four has begun. By now, you should hopefully have read the first two chapters,…[Read more]

@Daeus Sorry I didn’t respond until now. I was at a drama workshop all day. 🙂

I suggested Sign of Four because it was the only Sherlock Holmes novel haven’t read yet. However, if the people who haven’t read Sherlock Holmes think reading Sign of Four would be confusing as it isn’t the first novel in the series, then let’s read A Study in…[Read more]

Oh, so if you think it does need a poem, can you please help me write one??? Let me tag a few people so they see this.

@daeus , @hannah-c , @hope , @aella , @anna-brie , @kate-flournoy , @faithdk , @gretald , @rolena-hatfield , @writefury , @spradlin , @sarah-h , @winter-rose , @anyone-else-who-cares-to-help

Thanks, @hannah-c ! Good luck to you too.

So far, I’ve written 1,544 words. Writing has been kinda slow since I still need to finish organizing my notes and read over my prewriting before I can really go forward with it, but I should have that finished within the next couple of days.

How are things going with the rest of you and your…[Read more]

Brave goals, @hannah-c ! You go for it. 🙂

@daeus , did you say, “semi-dystopian time travel save the world story.” because, you had me at “time travel,” and possibly even at “semi-dystopian.” Please write it now! 😀 (Warning: That is my crazy excited face, a good sign you should take a break from this forum and ignore all of my future tags if…[Read more]

@Spradlin COOL!!!!!! I was familiar with the concept, but I’d never heard it called that before. Now I know! 😉 Nice work, @Vanna.

@spradlin what’s the fourth wall???

@spradlin Orwell is obviously telling us that bacon bars are intrinsically unamerican.

As far as responses, I don’t know if there is a good example, though I think Boxer means well. He seems to have good principles but is just too easily manipulated by propaganda.

There was another thing I noticed that was writing related. Orwell said in one…[Read more]

Thanks @spradlin. 🙂

@dbhgpdreigns Exactly. I was thinking it sounded like the Hitler Youth, too, but pretty much every totalitarian society begins by brainwashing the kids.

@overcomer I do agree that pigs aren’t the smartest people, but I think Orwell used then as a metaphor; dictators=pigs. I do think that there is a lack of intelligent…[Read more]

@spradlin Great questions once again! I’ve always believed that it is the duty of the writers to remind the people of their country what is true and alert them to potential dangers- basically, to encourage people to think. Author Harriet Beecher Stowe perhaps did more to fight slavery than Lincoln or any other lawmaker. As to an allegory of the…[Read more]

Hmm, it looks like maybe a few people got busy this week and forgot. Busyness is all cool, but if it’s just plain old forgetting, I’m on a mission to remind. Here goes.

@spradlin ahhhhhhhhh… yes. That does make sense. Very much sense. 😉 Thanks for your input. 😀
