((@brandon-Miller well, that was a great blackout scene. Not sure I can get close to that, but here we go!))

Peggy’s forehead stuck to the seat in front of her as she felt the plane lurch in a direction it should not be going. All she could hear was the loud thump thump thump against her chest as the air around her seamed to thicken.

((I have chosen a character… for now. If I decide I’d rather use another character at some point, can I take this character out and insert another one? It’s okay if not, just thought I’d check.))

@nuetrobolt sadly, no one critiqued it to my knowledge :-/ But we got it submitted!!

@Brandon-miller Yay!!! I’m so glad we got it submitted! AND I’m so glad that you like it 🙂 I enjoyed getting to share my experience, in a way. Now, to wait!

Just realized the deadline was last night… Did our piece get submitted?

@brandon-miller @daeus-lamb

Draft 3 is posted! I still feel like it needs work (which is good because we still have 4 days). Anyone care to chime in with some new comments/suggestions?

Also, I may not be able to work on this much after Thursday as I have a busy weekend ahead.

@nuetrobolt

Thanks so much for helping out & all the feedback/comments… I’m going to try to get a third draft posted by the end of tomorrow 🙂

Oops, missed Brandon’s comment earlier.

Second draft posted. Still needs lots of work so all help is welcome. Please stop on by whenever you can!

@bill-of-the-hill The document link is here!

((YAY IT’S HERE!!!! Now to choose a character… Also, as a note, I will personally use double parentheses like this to indicate non-story comments, etc. Feel free to join.))

@Brandon-miller Yay! So glad we have more time 🙂 And thanks! Glad to help 🙂

@nuetrobolt Still not 100% sure when the deadline is. Made some more comments and a few minor changes. It might be Monday at midnight, but I would guess not later than that. We should be prepared for Sunday at midnight.

Edit: the last prompt war we had 2 weeks. I was thinking one. If so, maybe we are ahead of schedule?

@nuetrobolt @rillumen

I started a doc and a story of sorts… I can procure something else if need be, but this was what was on my heart tonight.

See the doc here.

Thinking of things that I find beautiful include…..

Nature (specifically flowers, trees, and birds)

We need the “very dramatic setting” to become a frame for the object.

For instance…

The other day, a family friend who has experienced a lot of tragedy in her life this year told me that she has only seen two white doves in person in her…[Read more]

Yay! I love prompt wars 🙂 Starts today, a Monday, so I’m assuming it goes until next Sunday at midnight?

@e_elaine_soup5 Good start… I think we could work with it 🙂

Anyone else have ideas or suggestions?

Here’s a schedule we could go by….

Monday & Tuesday (17th-18th) – Brainstorm. Where do you find beauty in the ordinary? What…[Read more]

WOOHOO new character lounge! I’ll be ready 🙂

Oh, I love this topic! I’ve been exploring the publication realm both as an aspiring author and as a potential career… Now, I don’t know a whole lot yet, but I love learning. Lately, I’ve just been visiting various social media sites/websites for traditionally published authors in genres that I write in to get an idea of what they look like…[Read more]

I think I’ve figured out that I need to find a balance in between… Like become a plantser. I thought I was a pantser, but I just can’t do it for the whole entire draft of a novel… Not right now, anyhow. I love letting the creativity flow, but not knowing certain things about my characters and the world that they live in is holding me back from…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb So glad this exists! I kept wondering when the next word war, etc. would be. Could this schedule be posted under the Word War forum? That may help clear up some confusion going forward… The post could be edited as the schedule changes over time.

Thank you, @Evelyn !! And yes, I did take my profile picture 🙂
