@eden-anderson Thank you. 🙂 The characters are all from the same author – different books – and one, at least, is very, very famous.  She comes from the first time I see the girl. 😉

I’d love to see some of your work someday!  You should post some!

@ashira WOW – AMAZING!!!!!!  You’re crazy good!  By the way, I’m fifteen, too. 😉

@ori-art Your art is superb, too!  I love the baby. 🙂
You play spikeball!?  That’s awesome!  You’re one of the only people I know who actually knows what it is!  I love piano!  And singing!  What sort of things do you play and sing?  Do you have a preference…[Read more]

@ori-art Hi!  I’m so glad you’re here! 🙂 😀
What are your favorite things to do in your freetime?
What sort of things do you like to draw?

@hgm_barnes18 Oh, that makes sense.  Thank you for mentioning that!  I’m so glad you read it – if there’s anything else you have problems with or think could be better, please let me know!

What I meant when I wrote “lucidity” was limpidness and luminousness and brightness, but if that didn’t make sense, is there another word you would s…[Read more]

@i-david Thank you for your feedback!  When I have the time, I will definitely work on that!  Thanks!

@eden-anderson Thanks Eden!

Here’s another “short story” I wrote.

@h-jones Great – that made me laugh!  I love your ideal “right good old poet”.

@evelyn Yeah, I’ve written some hilarious love poetry when I was ten?  Eleven?  It’s not terrible, but it’s not very good. 😉 You want to read it?  It wasn’t about anyone I knew, just a story that I thought up that (I though) was sad and beautiful! 🙂 Hah.  How much…[Read more]

@faith_blum alright.  Thank you for making that clear.  702 is still my word count.  Too bad, got it up to 1,305 last night. 🙁 Hope what I have still helps, though.

Updated word count: 702

@faith_blum wait!  We can still write tonight?  Meaning, Wednesday night?

@eden-anderson I like your quote!  A lot!  Adding it to my collection, if you don’t mind. 😉

@ashira Sadly, I have not.  That’s one of the many books on my reading list, however, which keeps growing longer and longer!  All of my older siblings have read it and tell me it’s an amazing book, so looking forward to reading it.

By the way, have any…[Read more]

@i-david Wow.  Just wow.  Your story hit hard and it hit home.  SO sad.

Here’s one I wrote when I was thirteen.  I’m not a super emotional writer, but here’s what I had then.

More Than A Million Words

When I first came to my office in London, I noticed him. He sat in the market place day after day, same place as always, same position, on his k…[Read more]

@kb-writer Katherine, I’m in earnest here.

Since no one’s mentioned Avensbeck, I’ll be the first.  So we’ve won a couple wars and lost several more…who cares about that.  If you’re the person I think you are, you won’t.  I’m no judge to say which guild’s the best, but I will say that, if you’re looking for a friendly environment where you ca…[Read more]

Hi, here’s what I have.  Sorry it’s not as much as I wanted, but it’s what I have.

645.

@rochellaine I think your thoughts make perfect sense.  I agree that there’s a bit much romance in there.  At the same time, one reason I really like the Emily books is that they portray the confusion and “melodrama” that occurs a lot in our world.  There’s where I disagree with you. 😉 While I definitely don’t love all the romance in those boo…[Read more]

@wisdomofprose

Anne?  How wonderful to meet you!  Please, call me Emily. 😉

Will get back to you as soon as possible!

@selah-chelyah Great quotes.  I love the one about kissing the Rock of Ages, if that makes sense. 😉

@seekjustice Yes, that’s a great quote.  I will definitely try to read that book!

@wisdomofprose Yay!  I’m so glad you’re here!  This quote just hit the right spot: “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What! You t…[Read more]

Hi y’all,
I love reading and writing short stories.  I will get around to @cassie-hartfinh ‘s hopefully sometime soon!  I’ve written some that I am proud of, but those were a little while ago.  I consider writing short stories easier than novels, by the way.  Not sure why, but I novels take a lot more thinking through! 😉

I just wrote this, and now it disappeared!  I hate it when that happens!

Here goes another try!

@selah-chelyah Those last two books are really cool – highly recommended!
Actually, I meant Winfield Scott Hancock, a Union Civil War general.  He was a neat guy.  But I’m glad you like my favorites!
I am working on most of my stories right now, bu…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah GA Henty is awesome!  I…don’t know how many books I’ve read – definitely not all of them.  But my favorites are The Cat of Bubastes, With Lee in Virginia, For the Temple, In the Reign of Terror, and Wolf the Saxon.

What are yours?  How many have you read?

@eden-anderson I enjoy drawing design type things – like adult coloring bo…[Read more]

@silverdragon @evelyn @kb-writer

Thank you for starting a discussion on this.  I’ve wanted to know for a long time the answers to the questions you asked, and I’m excited to learn about other people.

I write poetry often for the same reasons Katherine does.  A lot of the times I process through writing poetry–thoughts, feelings, em…[Read more]
