Writers Row discussion

What are we supposed to post? lol. I got the message! Let's get this group up and running and ready for more stories! ;)

I always wanted to be part of a revival!
I'd say it be cool to do a monthly writing competition or we could do a group read or switch between the two idk.
Writing comp we could have it be like write a love story with a twist or something like that.:D

Twilight?:P
That might be good to do in febuary so we can do something as we come back and then we can do more writing:-)

oh gosh I hate most school books

I do agree that a group read would be good, but we would need enough people to read it to have a good discussion. For a contest, maybe we could do something for feb-march and Eh, like a POP prompt possibly?

If you are friends with anyone in this group, try to get them active please!

I'm up for the group reading! I have nothing to read currently, anyways, so this would give me something to do. ^_^

And I'd love to write a romance. It's just that I can't do it in a short amount of time.

:)
I was thinking - the writing contest should be two months probably so more people enter and have time to write. And I think we can find POP prompts online.
For group reading, I'll make a topic for people to post suggestions and then make a poll. We don't have much time before February, so maybe this one should be Feb/March. Please post books!

When people have posted suggestions for books, I'll make a poll.

We should decide on a prompt soon. We could get a few from Mrs. L. We don't need to not see it before writing like usual.

Not really a mystery fan myself Eh but adventure sounds good or fantsy, sci fi...just pick a book that will take me to a different place and I'm happy! Doesn't hurt to have a touch of romance though ;D

Everyone, the prompts Eh and I are talking about don't really have to do with certain genres.

got it but I was referring to the reading ideas not the writing actually.

I suggested some on the poll in comments:-)

I got something called Tiger's Curse that's supposed to be good

would anyone want a prompt like that? They come differently too. Two I've done are Red blank - fill in the blank for your title - and full circle. There are a bunch.

The dog ate your homework? Come on, you can think of a better excuse than that.

btw, it wouldn't be cheating because it's not like a POP competition where you only have 40 minutes and don't know the prompt before hand.

that sounds like a boilermaker in highschool ap english and I sucked at those! Lol so glad this won't be like that!

boilermaker?

Basically their supposed to be very well written essays that are supposed to be 3 pages long and you only have an hour to write them. It sucked for slow writers like me!

well Power of the Pen is an extra-curricular thing, and it's really fun.

yeah I guess if it's creative writing that wouldn't be so bad

yeah - you can do a lot with it as long as you address the prompt, and if you want to win something (why wouldn't you?) then try to make it good.

lol that does sound like alot of fun

Really? I thought my other two sucked, and that one of mine was the best! I got 99 on it, and 88 on both the others (if memory serves)

lol I always envy that the two of you go to the same school so you can talk about things like this

It's also weird - because I always have to stop myself from calling her her name here.

lol :D

I know what that's like. I have a friend on here. lol.

My friend was on here temporarily but she used her actual name so I wouldn't have had that problem

OMG i love septimus heap!

I couldn't get into it that much but I've read all of the Howl's Moving Castle Series and they were amazing...never heard of the other one

haha that does sound funny

I thought I did? Maybe not...hang on

suckish

I didn't see it under polls when I checked

I vote for Sir Terry Prachet then

Start of the Discworld series...I presume it's a series

Witches sounds interesting

Yep any of them sound interesting if discworld gets chosen just choose one of them and I'll read it
Love Tolken and Shakespear so if he's taken some inspiration from them then the stories have to be good!

So are we still doing the writing contests?

I don't think we ever decided on what they would be about. MODS! (hehem Eh) we need to decide

ur no help

Do you need ideas or what? If you can't decided I'd say just pull one out of a hat. Or do a really open one like only requirement is like it's fantasy/romance dealing with death.
I really don't know but I'd love to try a writing contest.:)

lol Eh and Aviva...I agree with Keamy just something broad like that is good...just think of things that your creative writing instructor has had you write...mine gave us a prompt at the beginning of class and gave us 15 minutes to just on it...I came up with some pretty interesting things that way

oh yeah - Eh can we use the prompt we had today or did you not like it?

well let's hear it!

I'll post it

yay!

Ah sorry I have been active I will try to pick it up:/ I have been getting really sick and I just haven't been able to do much stuff online.:)
