I just now heard an advertisement with the song "Let There Be Peace On Earth" and they totally skipped the stanza with God in it. WTF?

Aiona: To afraid to offend people? Geez. If they didn't like the verses, they should have picked a differentsong.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's helped critique my writing. My short script "Morning Apologies" got optioned and produced..... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5131238 Big thank you to Tomes Johnston because he encouraged me to start putting my stuff out to producers...... <3

michaelcahill: Awesome. A film, most cool.

Jay Squires: I'm late jumping in with my congratulations. Sometimes it's nice to have someone at the back of the parade wearing a cute tutu, shaking pom-poms.

So I finally finished Jason and Mathilda. It changed a lot. If you want me to send you the first draft, send me a message with your email.

The more I read an old friend's writing, the more I realize how outstanding she was at dialogue.

My friend Laura said that Tue Eng suffers from a protagonist who sometimes seems to be good, but then sometimes seems to be the bad guy. (paraphrasing). Needs clearer character arc, motivation. I need to work on that.

Aiona: Didja hear that, Grandpa? You need more motivation. :)

seren james: enjoyed this, calmed my headache..

Debra White: Beautiful :)

Sometimes I find when I'm not writing... it's because secretly I'm afraid. It's so silly. I don't want to be afraid to write. When learning to ride a bike, one can't be afraid to fall. Well.. okay, when learning to swim, it's good to be afraid to drown. I dunno. No real good parallels there. Just write.

Debra White: One of my favourite tunes :)

"None of us can know everything; each of us knows something; and we can put the pieces together if we pool our resources and combine our skills." Henry Jenkins

You know how they say time heals all wounds....Do you believe that?

adewpearl: I hate all those platitudes, like - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and God doesn't give us more than we can handle.

July 26, 2014 at 8:30AM

shelley kaye: wounds are healed by time with the covering a scar tissue.... but the scar is always there....

July 26, 2014 at 11:32AM

shelley kaye: and of god rally doesn't give us more than we can handle.... sometimes i really wish he would not have so much faith me lol! ;-)

July 26, 2014 at 11:33AM

shelley kaye: *really (can't type today lol)

July 26, 2014 at 11:33AM

Aiona: @adewpearl: Yes, that one about making you stronger worries me, because that just means that something *REALLY* gruesome has to happen to kill ya! :)

July 27, 2014 at 3:43PM

Aiona: @Shelley Kaye: Yep, it's an awesome responsibility. :( Oyster scar tissue = pearls.

July 27, 2014 at 3:44PM

So many people I'm following are really prolific writers this month! I have 90 messages in my box! My apologies for not being able to review everyone promptly. I hope I can get caught up eventually!

C-section today. So no posting this week. :D

adewpearl: I can't wait to hear about the arrival of the baby! :-)

June 30, 2014 at 6:42AM

Ritsal: Exciting news! We anxiously await photos of the new member of your family.

June 30, 2014 at 8:50AM

Debra White: Aw! Enjoy those first sweet moments with your new baby :) I'm sure he or she will provide you with loads of inspiration for your writing. All the best for tomorrow :)

Isn't the brain is amazing? It works 24 hours a day, from the moment we are born until the day we die, except when we are taking an exam, or when we are in love. -- Anonymous

So I didn't place as a finalist in the PNWA 2014 contest, but one of my scores was 47/50. I'm pleased. Revision can only improve it.

"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." -- General Patton (Thank you, NY Mets dude....)

I was going through my old tablet screencaptures, and I saw something in which a friend said he thinks "love is happiness." What do you think? (He is not a parent, by the way.)

Reminder to self (and anyone else who needs reminding): Back up your files.

"You are what you do, not what you say you will do." paraphrased from Carl Jung. GO WRITE!

Note to self: Write a sonnet with chocolate, fire, oil, pecan, car.

Note to self: fix exposition in Tue Eng-1

I really admire all you writers. It takes an unusual amount of guts to let everyone read all the weirdness in your head. I think anyone who writes and lets someone else read it should be PROUD of that. You are one of a very strange group of masochistic people....

nor84: Nah. Some of us are just hams.

February 20, 2014 at 3:23PM

Aiona: Or both! :D

February 21, 2014 at 5:10AM

Note to self: Write a poem about Zane Grey. (thanks, Nosha17!)

jadapenn: Why are you hiding up in that tree like a leopard?? I can't see you! LOL

February 15, 2014 at 10:30AM

Marillion: Fighting Caravans was my favorite Zane Grey book.

February 15, 2014 at 11:15AM

adewpearl: My dad had a shelf full of his books

February 15, 2014 at 11:20AM

janalma: I think my favorite was Nevada.

February 15, 2014 at 2:33PM

Note to self: fix reference to Kildare

shelley kaye: my daughter's graduating in june....

Aiona: Congratulations to her! :)

"Story is about respect, not disdain, for the audience." -- Robert McKee, _Story_

You can't take back the words you never said. Let them out.

Wow, this is the most awesome movie I've seen in a long while. Made in 1930's!!!!!

Adri7enne: Oh, you really threw my schedule out the door. But thank you for sharing a wonderful old movie. I loved it!

December 29, 2013 at 1:05PM

Aiona: Sorry! :) But yeah... it was so good, I couldn't stop. Then I had to Google Wendy Hiller. Amazing actress. I still can't quite get why Eliza went back to Higgins. He was such a %&@*!

January 1, 2014 at 8:38PM

Been slammed at work (the other work). So not able to write lately. Will hope to return to daily writing in January (gotta meet the PNWA contest deadline).

shelley kaye: love tina :)

December 5, 2013 at 12:34PM

comanalbert: Congratulations for Oscar Benton and the jolt! Is it a boy?

December 9, 2013 at 11:47AM

Aiona: The ... what? :)

December 28, 2013 at 7:32PM

Spent Monday reviewing a script for someone instead of posting. Oops!

Crikey. There are so many talented writers on here. I almost can't tear myself away to start writing! If I don't comment or rate you, it's because I bookmarked you for future reading. You know how they say you have to give "thoughtful reviews".... So I'm thinking.

DIS-illusioned: "There are so many talented writers on here" ...'Here'?? Wake up, wake up; you're having a bad dream!

December 1, 2013 at 2:39PM

Oooo... it's so frustrating to be only able to post two a day. :) So, essentially it is guaranteed I'll be on here daily until I finish posting everything. (which will probably be forever as I continually have stuff I want to write.)

Barb Hensongispsaca: You are so right. Especially for the readers who are following books and forget from one day to the next

RJ is part of my writing critique group in Bremerton, WA where I live. I keep missing critique group because of my work. So she told me about this site, and I'm utilizing it to get more critique in. Feel free to rip me apart. I'm a big girl. I can take it! :)
