      @hgm_barnes18, I’m sorry for not responding sooner. I thought Story Embers was shut down, then put back up again. I’m honestly not sure anymore. I have an account here and on Kingdom Pen, but I’ve been trying to get rid of accounts I don’t use at all or much. I’m thinking this one is more active, but I’m not sure anyone is around anymore.

      Thanks for the compliment. 🙂

      HAPPY WRITING!!

        How do I change a group discussion name?

          So a few weeks ago I saw someone comment about being a plantser – a mix of the two. What do you think? I agree wholeheartedly.

          HAPPY WRITING!!

            I am thinking I will start a new “group discussion” for each story. Or would that be a problem? I’ll understand if it is. (Have I asked this before? It seems familiar, somehow.)

            HAPPY WRITING!!

              I pray you can figure out what needs to happen, and do it.

              As do I, @wordsmith

                I thought we could quote by selecting part of someone’s “speech”, but I’m having to copy & paste instead.

                Anywho, I hope some of this helps. Immensely!!

                HAPPY WRITING!!

                  @myclipboardismyviolin

                  You said: You get like 2 pages into one plot idea, then your brain gets attached to another idea and you want to do that one. And that is almost exactly right.

                  HAPPY WRITING!!

                    @MyClipboardIsMyViolin, I will be reading and rereading what you said above. I don’t know if you posted more than once because I’ve been so bad about being here and paid so little attention. That’ll change, but I’ll read what you wrote because it may very well help.

                    HAPPY WRITING!!

                      My next attempt will be watercolors. Maybe I’ll have more success with those.

                        I also forgot to paint the blue sky first so I wouldn’t have to “go around” the flowers with the blue paint.

                          This is with acrylics. I left too much water on the paint brush. :(

                            Thank you both, @deeprun and @taylorclogston. I’ll keep at it. I should have more than enough time to explore YouTube videos (at the very least) in the coming weeks.

                              You could be right. I don’t know, though. And in order for you to be sure of what you’re saying I’d have to share photos of my paintings. IMO, they’re worse than Picasso.

                              @deeprun

                              Never. Not that I can recall, at least. I had health issues at 18 that put life “on hold” for several years and I only started wanting to be artistic in the last couple. I’ve tried drawing and believe me there’s no such ability in my fingers.

                              HAPPY WRITING!!

                                How do I shut this “discussion” down?

                                  This looks so exciting! I can hardly wait to start writing!  Hopefully I’ll be doing more of it here. Though I admit I started using another site that’s been pretty cool so far.

                                  HAPPY WRITING!!
