@pookiemonster um yes, every day.  Especially during the semester (WHICH IS ALMOST OVER!).

Alright everybody, straighten up here.  Staff Member in the house.  *realizes I’m a staff member too* Oh, nvm.  We all good here, at ease.

If I remember correctly, @rolena-hatfield, back in the old KP days you were in charge of the forum and I was the one sneaking around trying to start a revolution without getting janitor duty.  Oh how the mig…[Read more]

@ashlyvye, I do try.  Literally my job.  😉

@Kayla-Joy  Glad to have you on board!  And wow, a lot 1s here.  That speaks well of our future.  😀

@ashlyvye It’s about a castle under siege that sends this little dude out to spread word and gather help.  But tbh, he went so many places and did so many things it really needed to be like 50,000 words at least.

Yeah well I’m OYAN’s biggest advocate, so just send your Mom my way if you want convincing help.  (On a more real note, if you or her have questions about the curriculum, feel free to shoot me an email at thewoodlandquill@gmail.com.)

Oh, wow.  That is… a lot of books.

(Actually, I know OYAN advocates bigger than me… but there are just a lot of us.)

@pookiemonster

Wow, that is a lot.  Yeah, you’ve got lots of setting work to do.  Can’t wait to hear more about it!

Welcome, @skredder!

I also hated writing when I was young.  Mom had a writing curriculum (which shall remain nameless) that I hated a lot.  Then one day someone in our church decided to put on a writing class and Mom made me go and I was all ‘NONONONONONONO’ until the end of the first day when I was like “YESYESYESYESYES.”  he made us do a Sh…[Read more]

nonononono

Tell your mom I said that.

OYAN is literally geared toward 15-18-year-olds and is an amazing curriculum.  I’d never know half the writing stuff I do am today without it.  11/10 would recommend. (I did it the first time when I was 13…)

Oh, Scarlet Pimpernil.  Look, another book on my list.  Cool.

Lots of rel…[Read more]

I haven’t heard of her, but I googled and her stuff looks really good.  Also, she’s got a great resource sheet for writers!  (Of course, SE has one of those too… but now you can have more than one!  😀 )

@anne-of-lothlorien

Hey!  I guess I do know you, but I thought you were from OYAN.  Oh well, I’ll just blame my brain’s organizations and stuff.  Let’s stick with what-what bc I don’t even know what it means but I love it anyway.  Yay extroverts!  There appear to be more of them here that in most writing communities, and that’s exci…[Read more]

@missfaeriekiss Don’t change the tag.  When we were looking at applications I was like “Anyone who spells it Faerie and not Fairy is obviously awesome.”

@pookiemonster First off, let’s establish that your avatar is amazing.  Star Wars needs a spin off rn.  But other than that, glad to have you!  And yes, once we’ve dominated the world we will lit…[Read more]

Oh wow cool, there’s a question if I’d ever seen one.  Thanks for asking, @missfaeriekaiti

The answer is YES.

First off, I wanted writers who I thought were taking writing seriously.  Even if they don’t want it to be a profession or anything, they wanted to do it well and were willing to put the effort into it.

Second, I wanted people who w…[Read more]

Tutoring not allowed.

Fabulous.  And hey, with five pages on my introduction topic, at least I get to feel famous.

Hey Ash!

You know me now, I guess.  (So you’ll become a 3 before you know it.)  I appreciate your backyard/book pledge.  Nice to know my position is secure… for now.  Also, you have no idea how long I debated whether I should go with “bc “or “because”, but ended up deciding to strike a casual tone.  Good choice, I guess.

Wow, 12? Oh wait…[Read more]
