Germaine Han

@kate @germaine-han @chalice @sesi @gabbyj    Thanks for the suggestions and encouragement. I guess the only reason I hesitate is because it kind of feels like cheating. Right now I’m only two or three days from writing the end of the story. At the most. :-j That’s not cheating, is it?

@sesi Yeah, I’ll probably get two or three soundtrack CDs.…[Read more]

I wrote 2,772 words this week. That’s from last Sunday to Friday. Do the words we wrote on Sunday not count? Something you said earlier seemed to imply that.

If so, I wrote 197 words on Sunday. Making the total 2,575.

By the way, I just watched this YouTube video. Y’all need to check it out:

Hey, guys. Here’s the word count for Good or Evil: 2,772 words added.

Total word count for the entire story is up to 11,589.

I think I’m going to buy myself something if I finish the story by the end of the month. What do you guys think, good…[Read more]

@chalice

Tonight if you can…if you can’t, tomorrow is fine too. It’s not super important. 🙂

So what did the rest of ya’ll get?

@eden-anderson lol, that’s how I’m feeling about this topic.

@germaine-han Now that idea of having the sheltered naive — that’s really good. I’ve noticed that ignorant characters are helpful, but now that you mention it specifically plotting an ignorant character into your story world might be helpful.

So it looks like @bama-rose creamed us. 😀 Good work to you and everybody else!

Okay, so if ya’ll want to do another mini-word war on here it started yesterday. Any words written from Monday morning till Sunday count. Like last time just give your word counts some time Sunday. (But since this isn’t official it doesn’t really matter when you do it.…[Read more]

Sorry I’m late guys, I completely forgot about this word war. I had 2,926 words.

I think that makes @bama-rose the winner. Here’s the word counts in order of appearance:

@bama-rose 6,395
@eden-anderson 1,541
@rosemarylouise 1,356
@chalice 448
@kate 1,342
@noahlitle 2,926

I recon that puts me in second place. 😀

Unless @msqueen8, @germaine-han,…[Read more]

@rosemarylouise

Now I don’t feel so bad! 😉

But seriously, life happens and sometimes we just don’t get as much done as we want too. I totally understand. 😀

What did the rest of ya’ll get?

@noahlitle @chalice @msqueen8 @kate @germaine-han @literatureforthelight

Well guys, I really appreciate all this feedback. It looks like the three main topics everyone wants to hear about are theme, plot, and worldbuilding but worldbuilding got the most votes by a small margin. I’m thinking that’s what we’ll go with.

For those of you who write historical fiction, don’t worry! Yes, I’ll probably cover some aspects of…[Read more]

Alright, here’s this week’s word count for Good or Evil: 2,926 words added.

And the entire word count for Good or Evil rewrite is now up to 8,504 words. For those of you who were wondering. That’s almost three thousand words more than the original short story. I would guess I’m about half way through. We’ll see.

Thanks for all y’all’s su…[Read more]

@germaine-han

Yeah, I don’t think my numbers are gonna be high either. But let’s just do our best! 😊

Hey everybody, we are going to do a mini word war on this thread. If you want to participate just write as much as u can and then post your numbers here on Sunday.

We should have planned this earlier in the week…but oh well. 🙂 We will see how it goes.

Any words that you have written since the beginning of November count.

I hope you guys don’t…[Read more]

I stop at the kitchen door. Germaine and Grace nearly run into me.

There’s something I have to see. I poke my head in the kitchen.

It’s large, and spacious. Plenty of counter and cabinet space. An Island.

And, sure enough, a fishbowl with a goldfish sitting on the counter. He swims in a circle, exploring his wonderful world.

I smile and…[Read more]

I stand in silence as Kate finishes reciting her poem.

There is nothing to say.  I have no words. The heart wrenching beauty of her poem claws at my very soul, and I feel tears spring to my eyes.

Beside me, Rachel claps for her. And well she deserves the praise.

Mutely, I hand the tray to Germaine. I have to go…I have to get away. To…[Read more]

Thanks, @germaine-han!
