Maddie Morrow

@maddiejay Hey, nice to meet you! I saw that you’re one of the new writing interns and I kept hoping I’d run into you somewhere on here. 😀

I write free form, mostly…but I’m the same way with emotions. I can’t write poetry unless I’m experiencing some sort of intense feels. xD And, ironically, when I was a kid, I hated the style I now write.…[Read more]

And @noahlitle
And @kate
And @maddiejay

Hey guys, so we do have the winner announced.

I also struggle with how slowly I write. Sometimes it seems like everybody and their cousin is publishing a new book every year, and here I am, nineteen, with a dozen novels under my belt, still unpublished, taking three years to write one novel and feeling like a crippled tortoise. I wouldn’t say it’s jealousy of others’ successes, but…[Read more]

♪♫Celebrate good times! Come on!♫♪

Or maybe I should sing:

♪♫Everything is Awesome!!!♫♪

High fives, fist-bumps, and awkward hugs all around!

Thank you, @r-j-karas @literatureforthelight @cindy @sesi @Alana Ward (sorry, I don’t know what your tag is) @r-m-archer @ethryndal @m_corinnemusic @gabbyj and @anonymous for all your input on the fi…[Read more]

@r-j-karas Thanks. XD I was going to ask about that.

Last day, guys. I plan on doing some serious editing on it this morning. I would appreciate anyone who could be there with me, or at least keep an eye on it. I’ll be keeping an eye peeled here, but I’ll mostly be on the Google doc. Planning on being there sometime around 10:30 or so.

See you…[Read more]

Okay, here it is:

Fish

It’s only a little different from the original.

Let me know what y’all think.

@kate *salutes back*

@r-j-karas *fastclap, confetti, cheering, balloons, candy, and a pinata.* Good work! I did notice that you didn’t say it was a fish at the beginning. I’m glad to hear that was on purpose. No wonder there were so few visuals in the beginning. 😀

@rosemarylouise I’m excited too!

Thanks, @chalice, @samuel, @rosemarylouise, @se…[Read more]

@kate Thanks for all the input, and for volunteering to submit the final draft.

I do think we should try and vote as soon as possible, so we can put as much work into the draft before we submit it.

For those of you who haven’t read them yet:

Fish: Child

Under The Sun

So, when I saw the suggestion Noah posted about a fishbowl, my imagination started spinning. I just had to try it, and found it to be tons of fun. 🙂 For me, the best way to learn is just to do it—er, try to do it 😉 Whether my prose is a worthwhile start, only you all can be the judge. Whoever’s rough draft we use, the experience is the point, r…[Read more]

Okay, everybody.

Epic reveal:

Fish: Child

I could’t decide on the title Fish: Child, or Child Fish. Votes would be appreciated. Of if you have a better title suggestion, that would also be appreciated.

The human might need a name, too, but I’m not as worried about that.

Other than that, edit away. Which kind of scares me, but this is going t…[Read more]

@kate *fist bump back, but fails to see how it’s any more quiet than any other fist bump*

*In my best Armie Hammer impression* Is it really that obvious?

@daeus-lamb I’m honored that you’re honored.

Wait… are you discrediting the authenticity of the other INTPs on the forum?

There’s a lot of people on here that I haven’t met yet. Did the…[Read more]

Loving all the feedback. And I’m starting to realize myself that even I need to appreciate guilt more.

I actually had a, er, strange case study in guilt once. I dreamed that I did something absolutely abominable — something I would never even think of doing. Upon waking, it was still real enough that I could imagine what it would feel like if I…[Read more]

Yay, more questions! 🙂

@maddiejay – Thanks for bringing this thread to our attention 🙂

I wrote a couple kids books as a kid, probably starting when 7-years-old. But as far as considering it as a career, I’m a late bloomer. It wasn’t until I was into my nursing career, at age 25, that I began taking things seriously. Over the past nine years…[Read more]
