I am so happy with it! Itβs much stronger, and still very true to the feel you were going for before. I love it!

Hey guys!
Writing outside has been a wonderful experience for me, and I wanted to sell you on the idea. π

Why to write outside
Iβm writing this post outside. The sun is shining, and some trees provide shade. The stream is full and bubbling and a wind stirs the leaves.
Have I convinced you yet? Write outside!
But to elaborate m…[Read more]

Beautifully written, Grace! π The characters are very moving, and I liked how you protrayed Death as a friend to the good. It was well done.

Piperbee replied to the topic 1st place, 2nd person in the forum Announcements 7 years, 1 month ago
Itβs really good! Thank you for drafting it π
I did get a little lost deciphering your feelings from Aliraβs, and placing who was saying what. But overall, it had a great feel to it!

@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. π
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]

@literatureforthelight Yeah, I can lead up a quick editing initiative.

Piperbee replied to the topic 1st place, 2nd person in the forum Announcements 7 years, 1 month ago
Please draft it! I think you really have something! My only question is, why two men? Why not just one? It could leave it open for a “reunion” between the guide woman and the soldier.

@literatureforthelight Sorry I’ve been inactive. I was out of the house.
That’s neat! I grasp 90% of it. π Are you wanting to draft this one then?

Daeus Lamb started the topic Similar authors? Help! in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 1 month ago
So, I’m afraid I made a big mistake. I could use some recommendations (see below).
I have this free book I give to people who join my email list (see here: http://thescratchingquill.com/the-golden-ziggurat/). I’m planning to experiment with paid ads, driving traffic to that page. When people subscribe, I’ll market them a book. The hope is that…[Read more]

@literatureforthelight That’s a great premise! There would have to be some sort of conflict leading to a conclusion, but if you can think of one I’m on board.

Piperbee replied to the topic 1st place, 2nd person in the forum Announcements 7 years, 1 month ago
True! I didn’t think about it like that. I really like your idea about the reader being Death looking for people to take away. Very intriguing!

@literatureforthelight maybe sorta like one of the riddles where you have to figure out ‘who am I?’… Just an idea.

Hey guys,
Let’s do something RADICAL.
(That’s what Saxon Scribes do. Am I right?)
Let’s write a story in second person!
They say you can’t do it. They say don’t do it.
I’m like, “What are they trying to hide? 2nd person must be amazing!”
Anyway, I’m willing to give it a try. That’s what our newest prompt war is about: write a story in second…[Read more]

Now you understand the struggle I go through for this one friend/beta reader. Yes, I go through a lot of paper for someone that doesn’t actually own a printer. π

@germaine-han Yay exams! π *sarcasm sarcasm* I hope you have time for editing soon! I hate that feeling of wanting to write but having other responsibilities. It’s rather annoying.
@literatureforthelight Hi! I don’t know if we’ve officially met yet (unless I have short term memory loss) XD. I’m Gabrielle, at your service. *bows*
