@azeline-d These are really cool! LOL I always loved not having to make things rhyme 😆

@azeline-d Yes. XD We have a habit of getting the honorable mention a LOT though, so it’s become a bit of a joke with the guildmasters, and in the guild.

And yes guys! Awesome job! *happy claps*

@j-a-penrose OH MY GOSH WAHT?! WE FINALLY WON?? 😱

GREAT JOB, EVERYONE!! 😄 I wasn’t there as much as I probably should have been for the editing process, but I read it just now, and you all did a fantastic job!!

@steward-of-the-pen @azeline-d

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS!

GUESS WHAT???

WE WOOOON. Not the usual Honorable Mention for a change!  😝

Here is the doc if you want to check them out.

Jane was reeeeally impressed. She was super impressed, particularaly seeing that I sent her a message a day or so before saying, “ACK. THERE’S A WAR AND I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE PARIMIS ARE DOING.”…[Read more]

Guys, I’m so proud of you!

It was really nice to come back from a week of injections, hospital trips, conferences, and essays (legit. It should not be legal to assign teenagers with thirteen essays to do in five days. *dramatic sob*) and to find that you had gotten on with writing, and had done an a.m.a.z.i.n.g job at it. So proud. You guys made…[Read more]

Okay guys, I’m finished! I tried my best, but I’m still not sure if the end brought out the beauty of the hands enough. I put it at the end of the doc (it starts on page four), so please go ahead and edit and suggest away! I tried to keep a lot of the original in it, but I might have missed some good sections, so feel free to add them back in.…[Read more]

Hey everyone!

Okay, I’ve changed it to present tense, but with all the confusing edits on the doc I think it will be easier if I work on finishing the draft in a separate doc. I’ll use what’s already on this doc and add to the ending to flesh out the beauty of the ordinary hands. I may need to rework some sections that are already written so it…[Read more]

@azeline-d @steward-of-the-pen

Good points. I like the idea of the kid carrying the grandmother out.

About to head over to the doc and see what’s going on over there.

@azeline-d @everyone I think we could just change that exchange of dialogue a bit to allow him to carry her out himself. That would probably be the simplest option, rather than introducing another character.

Also, I’m thinking that changing the story to present tense like the aforementioned short story winner did might be a good option. That way…[Read more]

@julia Yay, thanks so much for getting it started!

I think that to be more realistic, the character should help/carry/drag the grandmother out of the building before thinking about her hands. In the adrenaline rush of escaping a fire, I doubt anyone in their right mind would be able to sit and take a trip down memory lane with flames and smoke…[Read more]

Okay guys. So sorry I’ve been gone, been dealing with doctors not believing me about my allergies until it was pretty obvious I was a mess, combined with the end of term rush of writing a ton of essays and music reports. *facepalm* But I’m back now.

I’m agreeing with Grandmother’s hands. Also, seeing that it has to be in a dramatic setting, maybe…[Read more]

Okay, I see what you’re all saying. Good points, good points. *nods sagely*

So we’re going with the grandmother hands then? Someone needs to draft it, soon…I would love to, but I don’t have a clear vision/path for how I would do it…

@ariella-newheart @steward-of-the-pen @julia @azeline-d @everyone

@elisha-starquill @ariella-newheart @azeline-d

That is a good idea, and I hate to bring this up now because we’re so short on time and should start writing very soon, but I’m a little concerned about it. First, writing fiction about Bible characters can be risky because of the potential for misrepresenting the true biblical account, especially…[Read more]

I know this is kind of last minute, but I have a suggestion. I really like the idea of hands, because as Sherlock would say, hands are often ignored, but they tell you a lot about a person. What if, instead of a grandmother’s hands, we did Jesus’ hands? From since he was a baby, to doing carpenter work, to healing people in his ministry, to the…[Read more]

@azeline-d I really like the snippet you wrote about the leaf! The description and word choices are just lovely. And the girl in the snippet reminds me of myself, strangely enough. xD I think the French would be “vous êtes belle, érable.”

@steward-of-the-pen I love the idea of focusing on a grandmother’s hands and her sacrificial service. I’m j…[Read more]

I also really like @azeline-d‘s idea of the elderly patients hands. I was thinking about it some more today, and I had an idea.

What if the story was a string of short scenes, each maybe 1-5 paragraphs long, that shows snippets of things a granddaughter is doing with her grandmother. Each scene would skip a little farther ahead in time, with both…[Read more]

*cartwheels in* HEY GUYS! I’m a bit late, since I closed my email during finals week (it kept distracting me when I was trying to study 😛 ) bUT I’M HERE NOW! YAY!

@azeline-d I love that idea of an elderly patient’s hands. It immediately struck me as something very deep, and as something that could really meet the prompt we have. 🙂

@azeline-d Hey, nice to see you back!

Ooooooh, some interesting ideas there. *nodnod* That’d be very feelsey
