Germaine Han

@germaine-han I’ll collect your word counts at the end of the week. You’ll just need to mark where you start and stop so you know exactly how much you wrote.

For a time, I’m content to sit in watchful silence, observing the arrival of the others. Some take their time to adjust to the quiet atmosphere, taking in the details of their personalized seats with quiet awe while others bring a breeze of energy with them as they enter the room that all but sings with untold stories and answers to questions that…[Read more]

@Gabbyj *blinks**jumps up and fumbles a grin* Hi. You must be…?

@germaine-han take a chair! What does yours look like?

Hey guys, so we do have the winner announced.

@chalice *wipes tear with you*

@m_corinnemusic @germaine-han @literatureforthelight Thanks.

@literatureforthelight It did, but the process was enjoyable, and the effort was worth it.

@rosemarylouise I thought it was you. Thank you for your input.

♪♫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]

@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]

@germaine-han Thanks!

@kate I’m still having a hard time not defending against your suggestions. Do you want the reasons I don’t want to change it?

I hesitate because I don’t want to be fighting against making it better out of pride, thinking it’s all that and a bag of chips.

But I don’t want to betray the voice or, more importantly, the…[Read more]

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 *salutes back*

@r-j-karas *fastclap, confetti, cheering, balloons, candy, and a pinata.* Good work! I did notice that you didn’t say it was a fish at the beginning. I’m glad to hear that was on purpose. No wonder there were so few visuals in the beginning. 😀

@rosemarylouise I’m excited too!

Thanks, @chalice, @samuel, @rosemarylouise, @se…[Read more]

@kate Thanks for all the input, and for volunteering to submit the final draft.

I do think we should try and vote as soon as possible, so we can put as much work into the draft before we submit it.

For those of you who haven’t read them yet:

Fish: Child

Under The Sun

@germaine-han, I like what you said about developing the character in the present rather than the past. I think that’s so important to remember. Some authors do all this fantastic development in character’s backstory but do very little in the present and expect you to like the character based on his past, even though nothing is going on in the pre…[Read more]

So, when I saw the suggestion Noah posted about a fishbowl, my imagination started spinning. I just had to try it, and found it to be tons of fun. 🙂 For me, the best way to learn is just to do it—er, try to do it 😉 Whether my prose is a worthwhile start, only you all can be the judge. Whoever’s rough draft we use, the experience is the point, r…[Read more]

@germaine-han, alright, I clicked the button that said ‘anyone with link can edit’. Hopefully that works. I’m kind of new to using Google Docs. Thanks for bearing with me. 🙂

@germaine-han, he’s not here right now, but I could probably do that. (I’m his sister :)) How do you do it?
