J.A.Penrose

@steward-of-the-pen @all-ya’ll-parimi-poets and @j-a-penrose

What if our greeting was a response sort of thing. Like the first person says something like: “May the stars shine brightly over you and may your clocks never stop.” (Bad example I know. xD)

And then the next person would say something in response: “And may your words ever shine like…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Here’s mine. I don’t often write in first person, so any pointers on that would be great 🙂

I glanced over my shoulder at the icy courtyard, my fingers catching on the holes in my hood as I tugged it over my ears. Were they frostbitten yet? They certainly felt like it.

Clenching my teeth, I forced my fingers to grasp the key in my…

@j-a-penrose Haha, well a few weeks ago I was getting really frustrated because I couldn’t figure out what Terut’s backstory was. I started arguing with him, and then somehow he ended up telling me where he came from and all his motivations and the fact that he is Loya’s brother. I had no idea that was coming! It was very, very w…[Read more]

OKAY GUYS.

@cassie-hartfinh @esjohnson My INTJ altar-ego suggests we wait a bit before we start. It hasn’t been quite two days yet, and we still have two weeks. I think it would be best if we did a bit more planning first. *wonders who this person is who’s saying we should plan and what has happened to the real me*

We probably shouldn’t use the…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose I know this is super late, but I really wanted to try this challenge. Here we go!

The first is one of my books that I’ve already written, the second is a vague idea for a plot for my fire moon story. (I’m definitely going to write it someday, now that I have the basic plot line.)

Ashen Blaze

1. Characteristic Moment

The main…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose This sounds great! Can’t wait to hear more!

@j-a-penrose, @esjohnson and I are ready to construct our battle plans!! (Of course, I’ll have to start writing later tonight, Pacific Time. I have work this afternoon.)

I like the ideas. I’m not sure about breaking the 4th dimension though, because I know I did that with my first novel and honestly, that ruined it. But I think doing it in the 1st person, combined with exposing Bryka’s thoughts, will also break the 4th dimension, in a way. I also like the idea of creating new creatures in this world. I feel that…[Read more]

Australia has got some rain! I’m not sure about all parts of Australia, but where I live has got some lovely rain and @j-a-penrose ‘s farm has gotten a great lot as well.

So that’s a great praise point! 😀

@j-a-penrose @cassie-hartfinh @rebecca-w  @ariella-newhart  Hey girls!  I’m here!

Lovin’ these ideas…

I do like Bryka, but what if we had a name meaning “hope” or “hidden”?  And how old should she be?

Sooo exciting!!!

@j-a-penrose What do you think of our story idea? How does the Google Doc writing process work? I haven’t actually seen that part in action yet.

@steward-of-the-pen So you like our basic plotline? I know we came up with it while all the other Parimis were kinda asleep. 😛 As for writing it all out, I don’t know much about how that process goes. Do we submit our idea to @j-a-penrose and then she writes it out? Or do we each do our own version and then decide which is best? Or are we…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Oooh, sounds cool! I like the concept of controlling storms. I’m looking forward to hearing more. How did your last NaNo novel go? I didn’t hear anything about it after July was over.

*races into room on a chorkney shrouded by a cloud of dust* Goodness, guys! You were all busy while I was gone for the weekend!

OH NO! Well, Parimi Alca is not going to lose without a hard fight.

@cassie-hartfinh AH! I love the idea of someone being from a planet with sadness as the only emotion, then having her end up in a new setting with…[Read more]

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

I’m actually going to be the judge of this competition, so I’m not going to be able to help you guys. I have to be able to judge without bias, so you’re going to have to take charge yourself!

Those of you who’ve done this before, help out those who haven’t! And just all have a bunch of fun. Aaand you guys know my personal…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Prose is so fun. I like finding ways to change it for different characters.

   Do we want to write a bizarrely humourous sort of tone?

That would be interesting, indeed. I could definitely help if that’s what we decide on doing.

What sort of character will we use to make a really realistic and unique type of character voice?

We c…[Read more]

AHH! So much awesomeness! I love all the ideas!

@j-a-penrose I’m working on a quick sketch for a map right now. 😀

@e-jo3 Right. I didn’t include that one because I think we’re leaning away from the magical side of things.

@j-a-penrose Thanks for the summary! I’m a bit behind on this thread, having joined recently.

@rebecca-w Welcome!
