*gasps* So much productivity everyone! Woohoo!

Yessssss I loved that one. Honestly they were all pretty great, though the ‘choose your own’ story kinda confused me. *bounces* The sheer amount of talent everywhere, though!

GUYS! HONORABLE MENTION! *happy screaming* THREE CHEERS FOR @LITERATUREFORTHELIGHT!

@literatureforthelight Grace I love it! It has a great aura about it and the 2nd person is seamless. Props to you because 2nd person is something I cannot write to save my life. 😛

I added in a few suggestions, mostly word-choice, show-don’t-tell stuff, and I did have a little bit of a hard time figuring out what was going on at the beginning (I…[Read more]

@emma-starr it has a beautiful simplicity that makes it extremely powerful. The one thing I would change is add one more line to the end. It ends rather abruptly as it is, but something like ‘saying goodbye’ or ‘finding you in the dark’ or something equally melancholy but emotionally satisfying could smooth it out very well.

@eden-anderson lifetime supply of life-chocolate comin’ up. XD

*sits in the life-closet and dolefully munches chocolate* Come on in. Nice and cozy in here.

Ugh, tags… @gabriellepollack

@eden-anderson what @gabrielle-pollack said. 😉

Another thing is to realize that ‘success’ is relative. If you set yourself a goal for the goal’s sake, you’re going to get there and realize it’s not enough. There will always be another level of ‘perfection’ you can strive for— someone else to please, some critic’s good opinion to win. I’ve…[Read more]

@eden-anderson I know exactly what you mean. It’s hard to find a logical balance between relying on the people around you for encouragement and support and pressing on without it, especially when you’re emotionally involved.

All my life I’ve tended to take things too personally, so reminding myself that perceived ‘neglect’ from others probably…[Read more]

I… may actually get some stuff written this week. Here’s hoping. 😀

Yessssssss.

For once I don’t have anything to add to the discussion. XD

@gabriellepollack I’m on it!
