@steward-of-the-pen Heh, more that I looked up her tag not her name to find it. 😛 But y’know.

WE DID IT!!!!  

Yipppppeeeeeeee!!!!!

@steward-of-the-pen
Hmmm… Can’t find it in spam…

I shall ask higher authorities. Any chance that @writercatherine deleted it? (I’ll keep hunting though)

@steward-of-the-pen Ack, hopefully yes. *goes hunting*

Can I just say guys, that that was brilliant. *flails* You all worked really hard, and ended up writing a really cool story. It was also a really hard sort of task because ‘prose’ is so broad. But whatever the result, you guys did a stellar job! *applause* I’ve turned it in now, so we just have to wait and…[Read more]

(Thanks @steward-of-the-pen!)

When to use that or which

Which is used when the clause can be removed and the sentence still makes sense.
e.g. Sentences, which require a noun and a verb, are what build a story.
“Which require a noun and verb” can be removed and still have a sentence that makes sense.

 

That is used when the clause cannot be…

@ariella-newheart Ah. Yes. *guilty glance at thread* It’s for looking at stories (movies, books, etc) that people have viewed, and discussing them. Just looking at how they did or didn’t do certain things. (Shall hopefully put something there at some point) And glad you liked the Plotting with…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen I think it sounds good, personally.

American Monday MORNING this time is fine. Ideally Sunday, but seeing that I didn’t get told about it until Australian Tuesday, we have one day’s worth of a disadvantage. Plus, Jane’s Aussie, so, we have a bit of time. 😛

Sooner it’s done, the better though.

Okay Parimis!

I’ve spent most of today tackling our entry, and have added a lot more character voice. That’s made the prose stronger, but to be honest, ‘unique’ is a rather cryptic phrase. However, we need to cut down a few words. So, cutting back is appreciated!

Once again, here is the…[Read more]

@cassie-hartfinh Oh, that poem never gets old. I’m sorry it was rejected. 🙁 I know how that feels. I’ve submitted my work to Story Embers and other sites, but have never gotten anything published. Someday, I suppose. Yes, first we must improve our craft, precious. *cough* xD

@steward-of-the-pen Wonderful poem! (And I get Nature Friend magazine!!…[Read more]

@cassie-hartfinh @steward-of-the-pen lovely work!

@cassie-hartfinh I love red balloons. *muses happily* 😉

@steward-of-the-pen No I never did get those magazines. I used to submit short stories to a magazine called “Stone Soup.” I never did get published, but I am SO glad. xD Those stories I sent in were trash. 😛

@steward-of-the-pen I love it! Cryptic poetry makes my heart tingle. Can’t wait for the story post!
