Grace

@literatureforthelight @ariella-newheart @selah-chelyah @ashira @chalice @everyone-else The funny thing is I’m writing all of these noble and fearless proclamations as I’m listening to the soundtrack of Beyond the Mask. It makes everything sound so much more epic.

Okay, people…I’m new at this so forgive me for being confused and possibly wasting your time. 😛

What does it mean by revising original scenes? I’m working on a short story right now and last night I wrote a bunch, but didn’t finish the complete scene. When I went back and looked at it this morning, I saw a bunch of things I should have added to…[Read more]

Hey all! This is a super short story (800 words) that I’m hoping to submit to the new Havok ezine that split off from Splickety Publishing. Anyhoo, I’d LOVE feedback if ya’ll have a minute to read it quick. 😀

Check it out here

I think it needs a bit more in the way of stronger verbs and unique prose. I think the core is strong enough, just…[Read more]

Great job @kate and @literatureforthelight and everybody else involved. 😀 (I have to say though that Avensbeck deserved the win, I was laughing the whole time I read their entry.)

*coughs sheepishly* I’m gonna pretend I didn’t just show that much disloyalty to New Wessex. *clears throat*

Okay, can somebody explain to me how the scoring system…[Read more]

Hey guys, we did pretty well. Check out the judge’s comments here:

(HUGS ALL AROUND!!!!)

I watch as the others greet this newcomer and her cute-but-pokey little friend, and can’t help but smile, in welcome, and also in joy that Grace noticed her and invited her over.

As she poured out her story, it tugged on my heart. I couldn’t understand it all from experience, but fear and I are old enemies. I did know from experience that…[Read more]

@literatureforthelight well I thought it was due Sunday night, but turns out it’s tonight instead, so we got an extra day. 😀 Thank you all for your suggestions and critique! It was very helpful. I’m proud of us. 😉

I stand still, half-hidden in the shadows. I see them gathered around a great table, laughing and talking…like one big happy family sharing secrets and speaking of things I do not understand. I am an outsider. A spectator when what I desire most is to be a participant.

Their conversation has slowed…but still they do not notice me. I pull…[Read more]

Okay so question number 1#:

How do you know if you are a writer? (it sounds really simplistic, I know)

I’ve struggled with this for a LONG time. First off, there’s like one hundred and one views out there about what makes a writer. I’ve heard and read lots of conflicting views about this: some people say anybody can be a writer, others say it’s…[Read more]

Erf, sorry I haven’t been around, all. Glad I didn’t totally miss it.

I went through the doc and made some comments. Anyone, please let me know if those comments are a good idea or if I’m all wet. @kate – can you review them Monday at all before we submit? 🙂

@daeus-lamb @literatureforthelight @GabbyJ @etc.

I’m gonna retag people since I don’t think my first try worked. @cindy @kate @elizabeth @r-m-archer @literatureforthelight @m_corinnemusic @j-parkhurst @gabbyj @cassandraia @chalice @noahlitle @julianne @germaine-han @maddiejay @sesi @r-j-karas @rosemarylouise @msqueen8 @arrethtrean @eden-anderson @samuel

@kate
@literatureforthelight

Both of your works were amazing and hilarious. Well done!

Okay guys, I won’t be here Saturday or Sunday, so Imma blitz the doc today and see if I can get everything ship-shape. If you have suggestions and I’m not responding, talk ’em over amongst yourselves and go ahead and do what you need to. I trust you. 😉

@Literatureforthelight *salutes* Thanks for being my comrade-in-arms.

@kate @literatureforthelight I’m a little at a loss. I really liked Kate’s overall style and word choices, , however I agree that I liked Grace’s ending. I’m not sure which way to go at this point, but if Kate can fix that tiny oversight of the bullet-proof glass, I’d have to say hers, otherwise Grace’s. I hate to sound harsh or judgmental in any…[Read more]

@literatureforthelight @kate

Bravo! Both were well-written lots of fun 🙂

Grace, I also must applaud your ending–tying in the boy’s search with it too–bravo!

Kate, I think your prose and word-choices add to the humor, and Jason is hilarious, for sure.

*Deep breath* I vote for Kate. (Man, I need to write another rough draft. It’s a bit…[Read more]
