@supermonkey42 Bye!  Thanks for joining me!

Anyone else still here?

@supermonkey42 Changing from third person to first person in the middle of a story is not the same as changing the name of one of your characters.  That means MAJOR editing work! 😀  You’ve seriously done that?

I have written from several secondary male characters POVs, but never had one as the main character yet.  I’m going to have to learn how…[Read more]

@supermonkey I guess you could call it semi-dystopian?  Or just simply futuristic?

First person or third person?  Is your protagonist a boy or a girl? 😀  I like asking questions.

@jenwriter17 I hope so! 🙂 But I’m never sure.

@supermonkey42 I wrote a book like that once.  It was supposed to be a time travel story, but focusing on the different cultures of the time periods, rather than the science of time travel.  The time travel element ended up taking over the book more than I intended…so it’s technically sci-fi now.  😀  But I set the contemporary parts in 202…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 Cool!  What genre?

I’m doing a his-fic short story I’ve had started for a while, but got discouraged from when I lost about a thousand words.  I was listening to a song today that reminded me of it, so I decided to try again. 🙂

Hellooooo…I’m writing!  Anyone around?

@seekjustice @dekreel @supermonkey42 @jenwriter17 @anyone-else

@ethryndal  Have you done mine yet?

Here’s Hannah’s post:

And now I present you: Potato Squash Pudding. (I also present you my shame and the disgrace of all my authoress dignity. 😬😂)

@catwing @rochellaine

Potatoes and Squash, a farmer’s delight
A field he grew and harvested in plenty
And without a clue to his plight!
Alas, a poor farmer’s wife, what is she to do with all this…

@daeus Thankee. *bows* Well, I tried incorporating small ‘good’ things and it’s been a lot let dismal lately. I think I just let Ike gnaw on dismal’ness’ for too long. XD

@sarah-anson I really like the italicized bit you said there. *nods* I agree. Thanks!

@rochellaine oh yeah, if you could PM it…. I had a spelling error I tried correct then it didn’t repost… And it took me 20 minutes to type since I was using the phone. Yes I do have it saved on my non internet laptop. 😉

Also consider your self tagged to. 😄

@anne-of-lothlorien  AHH those are great!

Waaaaait, did you copy mine? XD

Can someone please tag me with a topic, too?  I haven’t been tagged yet.  Just because I started the topic with a sample poem that doesn’t mean I don’t want to be tagged…

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

@salome01w4g I read your poem in my email and it’s great!  Hilarious story!

But…it’s not showing up here anymore. 🙁  Do you need me to copy it from my email and post it for you, or do you have it saved somewhere else?  (I’m pretty sure you have it saved somewhere else, since this is an actual piece of writing rather than a quickly-typed po…[Read more]

@daeus Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner.  I am usually only around here in the morning and evening…so anyway…

This version is much smoother.  In answer to your comments:

Stanza two; “Most comely he smiled” is better, because otherwise we try to drag “and” out into two beats.  The reason for this is probably that almost all – if not al…[Read more]

@skredder  I’ve seen that movie! Unfortunately I’m pretty sure it’s her last name

@ingridrd  Yes it’s a girl. … Can Peregrine be a girl’s name?

@rochellaine  That’s funny — I was JUST on that site! Unfortunately I didn’t find names I like :-/

@anne-of-lothlorien Oh, I love that!  The faces and captions are all perfect.
