Hey guys, check out some of the changes we’ve got going on here. And also, to make things a little e…[Read more]

@kari-karast

im not sure…I still have pages on all of them. Something must have glitched.

@bekah it’s so easy to get distracted! My little dude is asleep right now and I’m like wow. Should I work out, read, do the laundry, make a snack, or write?? So hard lol.

@kjames0813

yes, like the girls said 2500 word limit, a non cliche happy ending, due by Monday. And when it’s done you would give me the link and I’ll send it to the judge.

Thanks guys for answering all the questions. I had to get my little off to bed last night.

@the-golden-light never too late to join!

Everyone else- Thats fine if you guys don’t have time to write your own. That was kind of an early on in the process idea. Now it’s time to move things along.

So if @kari-karast has the doc created? Everyone can keep an eye on it and offer comments and suggestions there.

@kjames0813 did you see the outl…[Read more]

I’m in love. Just to clarify. Who is the POV? The villain, or the friend? And I think docs would be excellent if everyone has it or can get it.

If you guys get time, go read this:

This story is less than the 2500 word limit we have, and actually has quite a bit of dialogue, background, etc, etc. just to give you an idea that you can totally tell a complex, meaningful story in a short amount of space.

I’m liking all t…[Read more]

@kr-lalonde

we’ll be praying!

I say do it. This is only our first war, so it’s ok if it’s not perfect. I know who the judge is. She’s lovely. It’s going to be fine.

I think we can definitely take this whole final conversation with the city burning and run with it. A few sentences with the right emotion are going to be enough to set the stage showing these two charact…[Read more]

Excellent, @donna-darling! I haven’t gotten anything written for two days XP

Here’s some of my thoughts for everyone. Remember, I’m just Mom Steve over here, so ultimately you guys have to write the story.

1. Villain POV would definitely be unique, but by its very nature, the villain getting saved/having a change of heart/ etc is going to be cliche. We about have to let the villain be happy in a villainous way to avo…[Read more]

@jennythefaun

i don’t think so. I think just the winning entry. But I’ll find out for sure and let you know if I’m wrong.

Im liking all of this discussion guys. Keep in mind this is a group effort, so there’s naturally gonna have to be compromises and give and take. Since you have such a tight word count limit, I would suggest you start a…[Read more]

@naomi-sowell

hi! That’s so cool you get to do all that and play music!

And so exciting about your stories!

@donna-darling

sounds great! You go girl!

@donna-darling

i love that!

@i-david

WOW. Very good, yes. I am a bit unsatisfied, and here’s why. All this time I got the feeling the POV had some issues. They were holding on to regrets and sorrow they shouldn’t be carrying. For this to be the end, with no clear idea of if they’ve grown and allowed themselves to let go, makes it fall a bit flat. The story raises so many…[Read more]
