Good Morning, Class! (And a Special Note to mondojo and cmdaughter)


Yippee! Another board to fill! And fill it we will with more wonderful exercises and questions and just general writing discussions. Oh, can't forget Jessica's Quotes of the Week. I so look forward to them all.

Mondojo and cmdaughter were the last to post exercises. Since we cannot respond to an archive, please repost your beginnings. If you have trouble copying to the new board, just holler. I'd be happy to bring them over for you or try to explain how to do it.


December writing exercise (true story)


This is my first story, feedback would be greatly appreciated.


“I’ll never forget that day. It was a beautiful spring morning. Birds were chasing each other gayfully and singing so sweetly. The trees were covered with aroma filled blossoms. There was a hint of a chill in the air, but you could tell by the sunshine in the sky that it would be an absolute perfect day.”

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust …”


Question about spoken parts in stories


This is Post #57. Know What That Means?


It means this board should be in the archives when we all wake up tomorrow morning! Well, all of us in the Americas, anyway.

Today is a last-minute scurry to post replies to messages on this board. Don't know about you but I'm going to risk the wrath of my larger half by reading all of the posted exercises. Hope I get to reply to some before he pulls the plug on the 'puter!

Have fun reading and posting!

A question about sharing work on this site


I have just finished a creative writing class at my local community college...lots of fun but now I need to continue hanging out with writers to keep growing in my writing. This seems like an ideal place to do that, but I'm interested in how (or if) you address the issue of someone else taking your work and trying to publish it. I've shared my work with only 12 people in class...to do so here is a big step! Please reassure...thanks!


Dec. exercise.. No title.. feedback welcome.


"Damn you woman! Three flamin’ little girls and you can’t control one of them." Matt Larson stormed his way into the house slamming the door behind him. The windows vibrated in their wooden frames and Ella Bradford sniffled uncontrollably into to her crocheted edged, linen handkerchief.

"Little girls, little girls," she sighed. The eldest was just three years her junior. These were not little girls these were self absorbed, spoilt wild brats that were unruly and in need of a horse whip around their pretty derrières.
