Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 Please use this thread for any discussion or questions about this writing challenge.
Salak Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 I was thinking this morning of sitting this one out but I think I might have an idea...
Estantia Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 How many windows do you get in a wilderness? I may have to lay off Tia and co for this one... though there is a way I could do it.
+ Clase Drene Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 A window by any other name is still a window. Just don't shut the window on my fingers. Jumping out of windows again I see. My first finger painting was done on a window when I was two I will not tell you what I used as the paint...lets just say at that age I did not mind the smell... I was told from then on I was an artist ...
Estantia Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 *winces in horror* ok, I really hope it wasn't what I thought it was... and I'm doing a bit of Cara's early life instead.
+ Clase Drene Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 This will probably be my first writing challenge entry I don't know what to write so I guess I have to look over the other writing challenges and put something together about windows mmm windows a tentative title I have so far is "The windowpane melted into the ground" or possibly floor depending if I decide to be inside or outside of the window you know looking in or looking out ... guess I have to decide which side of the window I am on ahhh I know a dialog thru a window maybe...
FltCapt. Sidney Riley Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 What a great topic! I hope I can get something together before the deadline.
Salak Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 My entry is little more than a stub still. If I do finish it, it's likely to be descriptive with little/no dialogue because despite the judges comments on my last entry, I feel I can actually write description whilst dialogue just chops it up and stops it from flowing smoothly from my point of view...
Estantia Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 It depends on how you write the dialogue, and the best way to get better at it is to practice, if it helps then do thoughts first, they can flow more...
Nemitor Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 This time, I'll make sure to write it over time and not go into panic mode the day of the finish, though as usual, it will be posted then.
Salak Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 It depends on how you write the dialogue, and the best way to get better at it is to practice, if it helps then do thoughts first, they can flow more...There is good reason why my descriptions occassionally include reported speech...
Nemitor Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) Ahhh!Xoet! You stole my idea!its alright, mines different - but has to do with time, and a future self. - so i hope its alright that two stories have similar themes.HOWEVER - mine is VERY different in the main plot, just they both have to do with future selves.I MAY post it soon (after I finish writing it, and editing) Edited May 17, 2006 by Nemitor
Estantia Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 I can't wait to read them all but there are really only so many things you can do with windows...
Nemitor Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 yeah, but my stories already finished!All i have to do is edit.
+ Clase Drene Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 The way I am approaching my story is each time I go to add something I am or consider myself as the future self communicating with the last future self that typed the entry before not sure if that is OK or not but since this is my first writing challenge I guess I will approach the idea that way...(Hopefully It will get me out of my circular reasoning)

Nemitor Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 I've got a quick question:Does the story have to be posted as a post? Can it be posted as a PDF? or maybe both? I found the formatting looks much better in word 2007 than a post.
Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf Posted May 25, 2006 Author Posted May 25, 2006 Must be a post format. You can put bolding, italics, etc. in while you're creating the post.
+ Clase Drene Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I have an Idea for future challenges that might be good and might be bad but I think we can discuss it herewhat if every writing challenge was a poll were the poll was the grading of the challenge it could be that we would have the judges votes and the popular votes as well
Julia Harden Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Have the judges been decided upon? My story is almost done.... Almost.
Salak Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 *looks for quick reply*Ok, I'm now on my 5th story idea, having rejected the first four for various reasons. First one lacked substance and meaning, didn't like the idea of the second one, third one overlapped a lot with another entry and fourth overlapped with a JP being written to be posted in a couple of months... I hope this fifth idea is good enough and doesn't clash with others, though it can easily be explained if it contradicts another.
Salak Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Yes, and I knew it still needed a drastic rewrite. It's the idea I wanted feedback on so thanks for that
