Jolie’s comments from the Writing Exercises & Conversations group.

Hi Guys,
Because it's our first week and we are just getting started and are hectic this weeks due date will be extended to next Sunday.

From what I understand everyones pretty busy so I hope this helps everyone!

I have some GREAT ideas for next weeks options and everyone feel free to share if you have any!

Hope your all lost in a cozy book or in writing a great story,
Jolie

Nice to meet you too Katie:),

I'm sorry to hear that about your brother...I just signed up to donate bone marrow a few weeks ago after I learned about children with leukemia,I have been trying to get everyone I know to do the same.

I am about ot start Harry Potter myself,my nieces are obsessed,and I look up to J.K.Rowling big time! I am amazed by what her books have done,and how humble she is about it.

I'm so grateful to have you in this group,thank you so much for joining:)

Stacy I am sorry to hear that about your parents,I can't imagine...

I am in the same boat as far wanting to be on here more but having too little time!

That is so awesome you have written scripts! I wish I had that ability, but I struggle with dialouge terribly .I can't wait to read what you share with us!and thank you so much for joining!

I am glad you guys shared your storys,my boyfriend was actually killed in a car wreck a year ago today.It's hard for me to even mention it. It was ironic for me to read both your storys today and see you have both lossed people so close to you.

I am so glad you both joined and I can't wait to see your work!

My name is Jolie,I'm 27 with 3 kids ( 2 girls ages 10 and 7 and my son age 5,almost 6).If you did the math you figured out I started pretty young...married at 16,divorced at 25.
I've live on ranches pretty much my whole life.By ranches I mean thousands of acres with hundreds of cattle and alot of other types of animals,as well as (and one of my favorite advantages of ranch life) our closest neighbor being miles and miles away and at LEAST a 45 minute drive to town ...(in some cases hours).In my opinion it's the best way to live,and the best way to raise a family by far.
In some ways I have lived a very sheltered life...the way alot of people have who grew up in small towns or remote areas.And I am so grateful for that.
I also come from a very large,very close family,which I am also very grateful for.
Reading and writing are like an addiction for me.I would love to be a writer someday,right now it's just a dream.I love writing anything, if i had to narrow it down I would say I like writing fiction based on fact more then I like writing anything else...but it changes all the time.
My favorite authors include: Larry Mcmurtry,Laura Ingalls Wilder ,Michelle Lee West and Jeannette Walls ,I love many others but those are on the top of my list.My favorite books are mostly the ones written by the authors I just listed...
I love history and almost anything non-fiction.I love people,it's one of the reasons I started this group-I really can't wait to see everyones work.I like seeing peoples creativity and what they come up with :)

For those of you already in groups ( which I'm sure the majority of you are) I am certain you've already gone through introducing yourself.I would like everyone to do the same here, but for you to include your favorite books ,authors,a brief summary on your life and what you like to write as well as the usual,name ,age and location.
It goes without saying this is totally optional and you only have to include what you feel comfortable sharing.
I will start with myself to get the ball rolling...

Thanks Toe:) I know you are an amazing writer,I look forward to reading your writings...and I hope you take me up on being a moderater...?

Hey Toe I think you can post it as a new discussion...thats what I've seen the other groups do...you can put it under"Torys Story" or whatever...and you can create a blog I have one if you want,I started one forever ago Ill call you and explain! I'm glad your on...

You are welcome:) I'm so glad everyone is as excited about it as I am...I am reading your story now...can't wait!

Thank you I am so excited to see what everyone writes!:) and please invite any fellow writers you know:)

1.Personal Narrative

2.A creative story based from the view point of one of your favorite celebritys.(This does not just apply to actors,it can be a celebrity author,athlete,dr...whatever you like)

3.A short biography on your favorite family member.

Feel free to add pictures or drawings...be as creative as you like there really are no rules so have fun with it.

Post as a discussion no later then midnight of 7/24 and vote for your favorite (you may vote for your own),the winner will be announced on 7/25:) Have fun!

Welcome to Writing Exercises and Conversations! As you can see this group is brand new and I am very excited and hopeful for it's future.I am also very excited to read the writings our members post and take part in conversations regarding one of the things I love to do the most,READ and WRITE!

I want to make it very clear I am an ammature to writing as well as running group.I started this group because I could not find one with the general idea of having writing challenges with deadlines for people just writing for fun,practice or whatever.

Do not hesitate to message me any ideas, comments,advice or suggestions you may have.

I also hope this group will help people like me,I really love "Good Reads",but I came on here without any friends or knowing anyone and I also don't have many friends that enjoy reading and writing as much as I do.So I hope this group helps create some friendships between fellow book nerds:)

I am also looking for another moderator...hopefully one with more expierence then I have ;)So if you are interested message me or leave a comment.


Again,Welcome! Please feel free to post any comments,ideas or discussions you like!
