A New Play (The First!)

All Write with Me now includes an ongoing play! The Sword of the Winds, written by The Purple Phoenix, already includes a Princess of Peace, a dragon and a wind-thrasher. There’s also plenty of trouble – a raid, a kidnapped queen, stolen royal treasury, and a lost sacred relic. All in the first scene! Be sure to come back often to read this play as it unfolds. Knowing The Purple Phoenix, it’s bound to excite you all the way through.

Follow the link to read it now. When you come back, you’ll find The Sword of the Winds under the Share your work tab. Also, be sure to let The Purple Phoenix know what you think of his play by leaving a comment in the “Leave a Reply” box at the end of his page.

Sounds like you had a fun teacher, Allen. Thanks for sharing!

Book Review

Read Allen C.’s review of the Angel Park All Stars Series here.

Thanks for sharing, Allen. It sounds like a great series.

Another Milestone

The Purple Phoenix is on Chapter Nine of his continuing story, The Group. Lots of excitement, trouble, danger, adventure, mystery!

Uh oh….

There’s danger approaching for one of the members of The Group. Follow the link to catch up on the Purple Phoenix’s ongoing story.

Back from vacation

While I was gone, the Blue Dragon and the Purple Phoenix continued the adventures in The Pokeman Story. The Blue Dragon also started a new story, The Cave. Follow the links to read these stories or find them under “Share your work.”

New historical fiction

Anonymous posted a historical story set in 1775, about a girl named Amelia. Using excellent details, similes and metaphors, this writer makes it easy to feel what Amelia is going through. This is my favorite one: “Father and William would stay at home with me, and the war would be like a pesky fly outside closed windows.” Follow the link to read the rest. Thanks for sharing, Anonymous.

More great poetry

I’m so glad Kaden B. is sharing his poetry here. I really like the rhythm in Welcome to Spring and the message in Just Love Who They Are. Both poems are excellent examples of lyrical expression. Be sure to check them out!

New submission

Check out Elizabeth B’s report, Terriers and Other Dogs. It’s a great example of an opening paragraph that not only relates to the intended readers, but also lets readers know what to expect from the report. Well done, Elizabeth.

Welcome Elizabeth & Kaden

I’m happy to welcome two new writers to All Write with Me – Elizabeth B., 7th grade, and her brother Kaden B., age 10.

Elizabeth submitted Champions in Friendship, a great story about the value of friends, and Dolphins, an oral report filled with fascinating facts on these intelligent creatures.

Kaden submitted a well-written poem about changing weather, Rainbow.

Follow the links to read their submissions. Then feel free to welcome them to the site by leaving them a comment.

Finding a new way to an old problem

What do you do if the characters in your story speak a different language than your readers? What do you do if that language is intermixed with your readers’ language? And what do you do if the foreign language doesn’t even really exist?

See The Purple Pheonix’s creative and efficient way of handling this situation in his newly revised Fantasy Novel.

Great solution, Purple Pheonix!

 

Milestone

The Purple Pheonix is now on Chapter 7 of The Group!

Back at it & on a roll

Yesterday, The Purple Pheonix and The Blue Dragon resurrected The Pokémon Story. Today, The Purple Pheonix has submitted his latest installment of The Group. Yep, definitely on a roll! Not only are the words flowing, but both stories are really cranking up the tension.
