@crazywriter,

Nope, not dead, but still busy. XD I’m thinking I’m going to have to split up edits for your chapter again… *growls at Life*

So… What’s the plan now?

Also, sorry I’ve not been on here a lot. I’ve been busy.

@crazywriter,

Ok, let’s get this ball rolling! I’m trying to do this in a Google Docs like format by striking through things I think should be removed and putting my suggestions in bold and comments in italics. Let me know if it didn’t make sense, and feel free to reject any and all suggestions. 😉

@crazywriter,

I hath not forgottenest thou. XD I’m trying to find time to read this all in one go, which is challenging. I’m working on it, though! 😀

@crazywriter,

Kind of, yes. The idea is that you work on a project you already have or something else to try and get words in. You sprint (that is, say “I’m going to write from this time to this time” and invite other writers to write with you at the same time) and when your sprint is finished, you check your wordcount and then submit that to be…[Read more]

@crazywriter,

OOH!! Over here we mostly get dry, powdery snow that’s best for using as a cushion when you fall of your sled. XD And 1-2 inches is AWESOME!!

@rose-colored-fancy,

*waves and officially invites you into the convo* XD

AND YOU WROTE OVER 30K IN ONE WEEK!?!?! CONGRATS!!! I knew you sprinted a lot, but… that’s a LOT. XD

Right,…

Imagine NaNo on more competitive steroids.

The only correct description. I participated for the second time this year and I wrote over 30k because I’m stupidly competitive. It really makes you write like nothing else does and the teams are awesome.

Right, Joelle? #…[Read more]

@crazywriter,

HEY COOLNESS!!! Snow in Arkansas isn’t something you get a lot. XDDD Is it a lot, or only like a dusting?

Uh, a few weeks ago we got six or seven inches, which is a rarity, but none since them. It’s still melting, though.

@crazywriter,

Ooh, you should do it next year. It’s a week-long contest between two teams to see which team can write the most words and for the most minutes. I think this year we had over 500 young writers on my team, if that gives you any clue as to the scale of things. It’s really hectic but also really worth it. Imagine NaNo on more…[Read more]

AAAHHHHH I’M SORRY I’M STILL ALIVE I PROMISE!!!!!!!!!! Lol I’m sooo busy right now that I honestly forgot SE existed and then I was like waiiiit a sec… XD

I will try not to disappear for that long again… Although I’m prolly gonna disappear for short periods of time because school. Oh well…

@crazywriter,

No problem.

It’s been kinda rough, but not as bad as I expected. What about you? Are you guys doing Crazy Writing Week?

Happy 2022!!!!

@crazywriter,

Same here. Halfway done, though!

I have a great-uncle who served in Vietnam; I don’t see him anymore because he lives on the East Coast. But I remember meeting him once when I was a kid. He seemed quiet, maybe depressed, and smelled of tobacco. My mom said he was once a very happy, out-going and fun uncle; but the war changed him drastically and never really spoke…[Read more]

@crazywriter

Merry Christmas! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I haven’t done an in-depth study of the Vietnam War, nor of what happened to our soldiers when they returned. I do think, though, that the war was a tragedy and it’s sad that we had to see something similar happen in the middle east.

@crazywriter This is beautiful! The cadence is really good. Sometimes rhymed poems sound really forced and choppy, but this reads very naturally with a good rhythm that isn’t distracting. The only critique I would have is the last line, but I’d be being nitpicky.  The sentence structure is switched around to fit the rhyme, so it sounds a teeny…[Read more]

It’s called the Master’s university. It’s in California.

@crazywriter @joelle-stone

RIGHT???? It still feels like the beginning of November to me for some reason…

@crazywriter @joelle-stone

Haha whhhatt’sss this about a heated debate??? *runs quickly over to the debates thread*

@denali-christianson

*whispers* I think they’ve all gone mad from frying their brains over hot button topics….

You know, I’ve never thought much on food taxonomy until today… lol.
