@janeshuff, suggestion for next month’s challenge perhaps! 🙂

I’ve taken a morning off to write something – the first one unsettled me so much, I was determined to make it uplifting, regardless of crap-factor.

Mulling monthly comp ideas and realising that I’m better at dismal endings than I am hopeful beginnings…
-
Every ending is a new beginning! *grins like she’s in an inspirational photo*
-
I have an idea but I think even as a new beginning it might be a bit depressing!
-
-
Now I know that’s not true, Raine!
-
You can have a new beginning that will inevitably lead to a dismal ending. Just take out the ending.
i.e. “She fell in love with him the moment she saw him singing along during Mamma Mia 2.”-
I too seem unable to think of anything except gloomy endings
-
Mad, that’s exquisite!

Also feel like I’ve had endless weddings, visitors, trips and general shenanigans for months. Gets in the way of writing a bit, doesnt it! Lovely to see you, anyway.

Waves and ditto what Raine said except the weddings.

I know! In August I went out to see the world. Now in September, the world is coming to me. True story.

AND I have just spotted the filter dropdown at the top of the activity page that allows me to just see ‘main wall’ posts rather than all the forum updates as well. Oh happy days.

Ta, they aren’t showing up yet, but I’ll check again later. Next question. What does the ‘Subscribe’ option do?
-
That will ensure that you receive notifications that a post has been added to or commented on. Depending on how you’ve configured your email, you may get an email notification too.

Am I right in hoping that if I click ‘Favourite’ (alright, Favorite, but really, yick) at the top of a forum topic I’ve commented on, then any replies/further comments will appear in my notifications? *fingers crossed cos otherwise email notifications, which also yick*
-
Not sure… I think so, but in your own profile there’s a tab for favourites so they should be easy to find inc replies. Tell you what, I’ll favourite this, then if someone else replies I’ll let you know if it appears in my fees
-
They will appear in the favourites filter – click favourites in the sub-menu and it gives you a list of all the posts you’re following 🙂

That sounds a rather splendid scene, Squidge. The mind boggles slightly!!

Raine replied to the topic Writing Advice in the forum The Writers' Lifeboat 7 years, 7 months ago
Good idea, Mad.
Umm. One I heard that I think made sense in terms of the editing process was ‘Write the first draft for yourself, edit for your readers.’Also, Find the theme of your story. Themes tie characters, plots and subplots together.
Also (Although I am rubbish at doing this), when finishing for the day, stop in the middle of a scene,…[Read more]

This is brilliant, John. So much the opposite of where I expected it to go at the opening! I love her poise with the police – it adds such an element of shiver-factor.
I agree with others that a light dusting of other sensory details would help make the thing more potent, but I like the easy, matter of fact voice so don’t lose that.
One thing…[Read more]

Raine replied to the topic As an opening… in the forum Critiques 7 years, 7 months ago
THis is great Squidge, love the immediate dive into her PoV, her frustrations and doubts. My only two thoughts are …
– some of the descriptive paragraph (Tilda gritted her teeth…) might be worth trimming. It’s a chunk of … background I guess, that perhaps needs only a hint here, with more details as you go on?

J. That’s AMAZING! You are storming the flash scene! Are they putting together an anthology? Or website publication, or something?
And yeah, when you have a pub date/name, pop it on the Podium forum so’s we can all cheer.
