@kate Yay! Here’s mine:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N2ncbna_hrlN9NX976LxrFGYCm_NV_3_yMoeqSmPOi0/edit?usp=sharing

I still have to go back and fix repetitive language and put some details to rights, but here’s my draft, about the same length as Kate’s. Please tear it apart… and edit away.

Also, I assume for the sake of time, people…[Read more]

Okay guys! *flops down on the floor* It’s done. The current word count is 2,736, so we do need to trim a little if we choose this one, but it’s basically down. 😛

I’m not sure what to think about it, honestly. Neither first person nor comedy are my strengths, so I’m not entirely sure how it turned out. Not to mention the last half hour I was…[Read more]

Yelp. @daeus-lamb posted this on October 1st, meaning it’s due October 14th. Don’t we usually have a draft going by the time the second week rolls around?

I can write something-that’s-not-so-good-but-it’s-still-something by tonight, then turn it out to all of you so we can jump into the editing process.

Or, if someone is reading this who wants…[Read more]

@ethryndal Sorry, I’m not sure I can be of much help. I rarely consider myself “stuck”. Sometimes I don’t want to write a scene, though.

Whenever that happens, I do some serious-soul searching. Why don’t I want to write this scene? Then I ask myself: can I skip this scene? If the answer is Yes, then I skip the scene. If the answer is No, then I d…[Read more]

Aww, you guys are all so nice and sweet!! I already feel at home! This is going to BE SO MUCH FUN!!😀😀😍

@rosemarylouise

So nice to meet you!! Do you have a WIP? What’s it about?

@chalice

Thank you! I feel very welcomed. 😀 I have never read “The Anatomy of Story”, by John Truby, but it sounds really good. I’ll need to check that out! Thanks for…[Read more]

@ethryndal
Thanks for the helpful tip! 🙂 And I think your right sometimes as writers we do get stuck on the big picture, but sometimes it’s the little scenes that really grab our readers like how our characters view something.
Something I tend to do when I am stuck is brainstorming. 🙂 I go for a walk, take a notebook and think out loud, writing…[Read more]

@ethryndal, I am currently stuck in a scene and I think this might help. 🙂 Some times I get stuck in a scene because I’m just writing the things happening, without the POV character’s thoughts on what’s happening. That might be an amateur problem though. 🙂

@ethryndal

Ohhh, this is so good!! I never really thought about this particular problem much, but now that you say that, I bet focusing on the small details could fix a lot of problems I’m dealing with right now in my WIP! 😀 I have a lot of trouble with wanting to write this great, amazing, inspiring scene and when I don’t I get really…[Read more]

@ethryndal

Yay!! Now I know two people! Okay, so this is a lot better than I feared. 😛

I LOVE Lord of the Rings, so we should get along splendidly! 😀😀

Thanks for the advice, I can’t wait to get involved and learn to know some people. 😀

Okay, so for your questions…um…I kinda have a WIP. But I always have at least three stories running…[Read more]

I also struggle with how slowly I write. Sometimes it seems like everybody and their cousin is publishing a new book every year, and here I am, nineteen, with a dozen novels under my belt, still unpublished, taking three years to write one novel and feeling like a crippled tortoise. I wouldn’t say it’s jealousy of others’ successes, but…[Read more]

♪♫Celebrate good times! Come on!♫♪

Or maybe I should sing:

♪♫Everything is Awesome!!!♫♪

High fives, fist-bumps, and awkward hugs all around!

Thank you, @r-j-karas @literatureforthelight @cindy @sesi @Alana Ward (sorry, I don’t know what your tag is) @r-m-archer @ethryndal @m_corinnemusic @gabbyj and @anonymous for all your input on the fi…[Read more]

@ethryndal  @the-fledgling-artist  @lillian-parks03  @itisastarrynight @sarah-inkdragon  Thank you guys SO much for all the advice. I’m SO sorry it took so long to get back to you.

Well, I have gotten considerably better over the past few months, especially with the head size and general proportions. Anything else I need to know?

@r-j-karas Thanks. XD I was going to ask about that.

Last day, guys. I plan on doing some serious editing on it this morning. I would appreciate anyone who could be there with me, or at least keep an eye on it. I’ll be keeping an eye peeled here, but I’ll mostly be on the Google doc. Planning on being there sometime around 10:30 or so.

See you…[Read more]

@ethryndal @cindy @Daeus-lamb @r-j-karas thanks so much guys. You people are amazing. <3

Okay, here it is:

Fish

It’s only a little different from the original.

Let me know what y’all think.

@daeus-lamb @r-m-archer @cindy @kate @r-j-karas @rosemarylouise @gabbyj @germaine-han @julianne @ethryndal @msqueen8 @m_corinnemusic @literatureforthelight @maddiejay @samuel @chalice @sesi

@kate @rosemarylouise Thanks!

I like Dough-boy.

@ethryndal @sesi   :-   Mmm-

Honestly, I had thought of Emeril, but didn’t think it fit the fish or the human very well. I could get over that though, if you guys like it.

@sesi How does it sound fishy?

Also, keep in mind: the title doesn’t have to have the fish’s name in it. Maybe we could foc…[Read more]

@kate @ethryndal

Yessss! It sounds fishy too! 😀
