@libby :OOOOOOOO YES!! Yay! I’ll definitely be a beta! xD And oh wow, I completely forgot about the fact that NaNoWriMo is coming up, wowzers. Maybe I should give it a go too. *thinking emoji*

@libby, yay!!! NaNoWriMo is a lot of fun, and great motivation to write an entire novel or 50k words on a procjet.

@libby No problem! I was wondering, so I added that to the total. 🙂

Ok, guys! I counted up all the word counts I could get ahold of and added my own. In…[Read more]

@libby It’s not so much that particular ones bothered me so much as adverbs are really tricky to use in general. I think it was… maybe Dan Wells? on Writing Excuses said adverbs are an inherently lossy format. You’re relying on your reader to have a mental shorthand for whatever you’re saying. The tradeoff for less powerful language is saving…[Read more]

@libby Absolutely! c: And oh my wordie, I understand about life being busy. xDD A bit of encouragement; you can do it, whatever it is that you may be doing, because it’s Christ who gives you strength. *clap* *clap* *clap*

@libby Thank you! That was helpful! (And sorry for the delayed response I was out of town.)

And @h-jones Aww, that poem is so pretty! I love it!! <3

This one I wrote a couple years ago. I’ve revised it some since then but it is still one of my personal favorites. . . “The Almighty”

@libby, I think we all tend to use adverbs too much. I myself do.  I used to use an infinite amount until I learned to use stronger verbs. I’m not anywhere near perfection yet. Strange thing is, people tend to notice the mistakes in others’ works and not their own.

And, yes. That quote is encouraging.

Hey friends! Last chance to turn in your final word count. 🙂 If you don’t get the chance today, I’ll go by the most recent count you posted and use that.

Thanks for participating, guys! 😀

@libby You’re more than welcome! 🙂 Oooh, Sergio has a backstory!? *gasp* Ya know, this is the sort of tale I think I’d be interested in reading. If you ever do more with it, I’d be happy to be a beta. *thumbs up*

Personally, I like the word “cell,” but yeah it really is all up to you. xD

Also, @taylorclogston has a lot of amazing advice that…[Read more]

@libby Haha!! I love it. Poem collaboration by Libby and H. Jones. Dandelions!

Dandelions

Dandelions are sweet,
Dandelions are fun;
They take showers in the rain,
And dry off in the sun.

Dandelions are pretty
But you will soon regret
If you bring one up to sniff–
Itchy eyes are all you’ll get!

Perfection. We should write a poetry book. xD 😀

Ok friends! Time to turn in your word count! 😀 I loved seeing you guys post your count…[Read more]

@libby, here are adverbs that I noticed that might could be changed.

patting lightly–tapping

wearily struggled–maybe you could show us he’s weary

breathing heavily–gasping for breath, taking long breaths, etc

abruptly stopped–halted

breathed laboriously–again maybe show us its laborsome.

I will say that this story was really good and…[Read more]

@libby Ah! Yes! Thank you, fellow poet. 🙂 Your praise and critique are both great! Thank you specifically for the tidbit about the “and” – I hadn’t noticed that. And I’m so glad you liked it!! 🙂

@libby, wow!! An amazing story!!! And I can’t believe you wrote a story so short!!! That’s like sooooooo hard!!!! I loved the description you used and the way you described some of the speech as dripping. The only thing I noticed was a few adverbs, but I’m not sure they could be deleted without changing the meaning. This was a great story!!!
