Young Writers Society

I think we can write as much as we want during Tsumani Week (including doing more than one posts). And I agree I want to do well in LSS, but we've already almost made it to the end, and I'm really proud of us.

If possible, I would like to conclude the story during Tsunami Week, or get as close possible to doing so and then wrap up in whatever way that makes sense. After that, LSS will be done, and considering our characters have already been kicked out of the Golden Vanderbilt I don't think there will be that much more to go.

I'm going to be very busy the week of June 20th because that's my short film, and god willing I get Romeo and Juliet, that will start the week after. I'm happy to do interview posts this week or whatever we decide and then plan for Tsumani week as much as possible.

I also think that we are then moving towards the end.

Then this week we write individual posts where we are interrogated by Donaldson, where I think everyone then writes what they think.

Next week break where you then have to plan without me. But I think we could put in a filler post first where everyone can write what we're doing, (where a few days go by) and then afterwards we meet because Donaldson contacts us because he thinks he's solved 722. (That would then be a group post where we also confront the murderer) -> where there might also be another murder attempt or something.

Another post (that anyone can write) could be the interrogation of her, where Donaldson is present (and we are too). Finally, we can again with a longer filler post, how it goes on in our lives, and we still meet sometimes?

Poking the remaining writers here, but actually, I wanted to say, that I´m on holiday from Tuesday onwards until the 14th of June.

Even if I'm offline then, you're welcome to continue planning, I'll be guided by you!

I'm still at my cousin's graduation, but I should have time this evening to write a post. If that changes I'll let y'all know. And sounds good - I can make some time this next week to do any sort of planning to make sure we're prepared for Tsunami.

We're still hanging out at my aunt's house, not sure when we're going to head back to the hotel. I'll try to get in a post though but @Plume do you want to try to write 800ish words just in case I can't?

Sorry to triple post but I can definitely get something posted tonight. We're back at the hotel so give me another hour or two.

Sounds good! I just posted Julian's portion.

I posted at the same time as you, so we're good for this week. The only thing I wasn't clear on is if our characters actually left the police station or we had to wait there after our interviews. Also, is Madeleine's last name somewhere? I couldn't remember.

Either way, I'm cool to do what we need to do to plan for Tsumani week. I'll be busy if we have some sort of outline or however else we want to do this I can try to post as much as possible.

I do think we should end the story at the end of Tsumani week, or get as close as possible to doing so. Let me know y'alls thoughts, but as wild of a ride as this has been, I don't know how much longer I can commit to it. That being said, we've come this far so I will definitely see it through to the end.

I think they might've stayed? Who knows. I guess it can be whatever's easier for our next steps in the plot. (And Madeleine's last name is Roy! I think it's in the pad.)

I also agree that we should come pretty close to finishing during the Tsunami week. I've created a little outline section in the pad, with a rough draft of what we could write (I've put it in a spoiler here too). Let me know if you think it's doable—I'm thinking that it'd maybe translate to four-ish posts? But long ones.



We can also cut out the other speakeasy part if we want to—it'd be an easy point to remove since it's not necessary.

Looking forward to writing with y'all!

Just checking in since it's Monday. I'm pretty busy but I'll make time for this. How do we want to approach it?

I was thinking that maybe we could have just one big draft in the pad that people can add to whenever they're free—tomorrow, I could start to draft a pretty loose foundation upon which other people can add to. We could just keep it going until we get to Sunday, and then post and hope for the best? I'm pretty free this week, so I could dedicate time to it. If someone else has a better idea, though, I am open to it—I know this way could get to be a little confusing and/or chaotic.

That sounds good, Plume! If you want to get it started, I can add to it during my break tomorrow.

The idea sounds good so far. I really like the overview you did, @Plume.

This gives us a lot of possibilities to expand on some paragraphs and create a bit of "answer/end of personal issues...?"

I try to start writing tomorrow some of the larger chunks and add them. Maybe before copying everything into the pad, - since we all have different colours - we could add your points as "titles", so we can paste everything together later. (Except of course the large dialogue things, where we are together.)

Looks good so far. I added one piece of dialogue, but beyond that I'm having a bit of writers block, so I'm not sure how much else I'll add tonight, or at least until we add more issues.

Also @Plume, I forgot to say I think the outline you posted looks good. I'll be more around evenings Central Time for the rest of this week, and I'm also fairly open this weekend.

Ah, no worries—I too had a bit of writer's block today, so I didn't get done as much as I hoped, but tomorrow I should be mentally freer to focus on writing. And I'll try to hop in as often as I can, so I hope to catch some of you!
