???? TEFF HAS Twelve years on WDC! FORUM keeps ADC records. |
Yeah, saw the error in DEC nl title/ subject line. Hope someone doesn't wake up going ... what the hell ... how did I lose a whole year? No excuses, except bitem/ item numbers can probably kill you. I swear this CLUB needs. 1. Fill in NL writers 2. Secretaries ... more on that later. 3. Volunteer STAFF!!! For the love of gawd. Reprint for CLUB record. Title: ADC DEC NL HAPPY TWENTY-TEN CLUB! Hoping you, & your loved ones enjoy a prosperous new year. Welcome to the CLUB to entrants for TEFF's Dec contests: "EVERYONE HAS A CHRISTMAS STORY" By the time March 2010 arrives, look for updates to "EVERYONE HAS A CHRISTMAS STORY ARCHIVE" "FRONTLINER'S TWELVE DAYS OF BLOGGING!" is in full swing. Here's one with a DEC 31 deadline ... sure that's enough time, right? Please visit: "Invalid Item"  So what's new at ADC? Not too much really. "RIDING THE WRITERS WAVE FORUM" remains open, however not much action post wise. Nor any new cards in my snail mail either. Eh, who ever listens to me anyways? So, business as per usual, few complaints actually. Fiction wise, had a pretty robust year. More ideas & research notes than pens. Which brings up an interesting topic. TIME. It marches along, we type on keyboards, find the occasional photo of faces (and I these with all my honest well intentional soul. Some things slide, resolutions are made for schedules which are broken in two by more & more communication onsite. Thus, here to inform the lot of youse, my work suffers. Can't have that so by the time all the works are read ... let's give it the usual ending date of St. Pat's for EHACS "EVERYONE HAS A CHRISTMAS STORY" & EHACS Archive. Then calm hopefully. Don't worry, love every minute meanwhile. All of winter is Christmas time for me. Simply informing of a future hiatus, which may be applauded by some with and "about time." RE:
Yowsa there. This story became so incredibly inclusive for historic value, never saw the likes onsite for five plus years. Nor did the likes of TEFF (Club President) ever work with a more intelligent group of talented writers before. So, post them a word and a look see, you'll never regret. Especially if you seek researchable topics. Lest we learn & never forget. Fell into a crap shoot re: two things. One is the show only theme in writing. Anyone recall this odd entity? The sentence runs via advice (which to this writer is nigh impossible) "Show don't tell" for writing stories. Okay --- on record with: All writing contains both which is common sense Sunday thru Sat, Jan thru DEC as decades pass. The die-hard, show only crowd now tosses adverbs to the side of the road, like running over roadkill. In comparison, I always felt sorry for raccoons, squirrels or rabbits caught in the headlights of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. So, we do this. Praise the adverb, boost them TTT. To the top. Ask yourselves the logical question ... why are these in dictionaries? To use via the English Language, ladies and gents. Adverb use is easy to punctuate, contributes to information re: predicates or nouns. Choice the best one and reader impression soars due to impeccable vocab. TEFF says you decide as you present your very best. Without adverbs & adjectives one beholds choppy pieces. Sorry, the best I can do while offering the short version. Now, everyone who knows me also knows I am insulted very easily but bear up eventually because I adore change. So, re-direction helps. Bogus information requires looking at other sources. What source e.g. says no phrases in writing, quips these are run on sentences? Hmmm? Pick up any in print paperback what do you see? Phrase after phrase without shame or finger pointing. Below: Perhaps ... Toss this into a possible spot should anyone receive quasi inaccurate writing advice or praiseworthy helpful writing hints -- whatever.
Don't worry the place is far from crowded by any means. Now, turning backward in circles ... re: show don't tell theme. Yes, we had silent films. Charlie Chaplin flix. At football games one spies referee signals. The piece de resistance chuckling along is car racing's checkered flags. Picture me thusly, my dearest CLUB ... TEFF rises from her wheeley desk chair. Straightens her skirt since she only wears mini skirts in her office, pulls her sweater around her thin waist. She places her right hand on a tall glass window overlooking a blue mountain range. Then her left palm. These move about, feel for Jack Frost. An osprey lands on a nearby tree. Does this writer use a camera here? No. Does she use words? Yes. So as far as show don't tell only rantings ... best dash this one in the closest snow bank. Why? Because writers are generally well read, intelligent, talented members from all walks of life, all ages. And sure. We got it going on dawn to dusk and then some at midnight. For heaven sake's writing implies detailing. Come blog with us, enjoy real folks on real life. Enter the contests, post on in the forum. For this New Year's Eve ushering in --- TWENTY TEN? I'll bring my charming attitude, my eyes, my keyboard. Might as well prepare a spiked punch --- proverbial, of course. Any takers? My kin threaten sending a photo. What to wear? Who'll stop over? Is the chip dip as possibly laced with hot tamales and garlic as it can be? What covered dish can you set on a long table where candles await you? Your call, Club. See you there.
Welcoming action from 208 members with thanx. BTW --- Oh, see you next year, God willing. All TEFFY's contest winners shall be announced at "RIDING THE WRITERS WAVE FORUM" That poor place is very lonely on cold, dark, wintry, snowy, blizzard nights. Poor lil forum. My my. Have fun! Signed Teffom@writing.com © Copyright 2009 Paula LaRue (UN: teffom at Writing.Com). PS ... at the forum. Carry in a lime green, linen tablecloth. Wearing long white gloves to the elbow, a torn slip of peach lace, unlaced hiker boots over hunting socks, flannel pj's with a penguin print. My hair is in tight bun. Ooops, tripped on my tattered lace hem. Fell down, rolled over and sat all alone beside a blazing fire for a long time. Dreaming about a new story ... ah well. Another NY City setting. "DON'T RISK IT ON BRISKET!" by Mary Moffett is calling moi. This one informs it shall not wait for wc time. So see ya, when I see ya --- ya'll. |
