Marked Five, Now What? and an Idea for the Writing Contest
Elsy cranks up the trouble and mystery in two of her ongoing stories.
In Chapter 8 of Marked Five, we learn why being one of the chosen isn’t necessarily a good thing.
In the next installment of Now What? the ghost who’s been stuck haunting Kia’s room has found an unexpected way out.
For the writing contest, Elsy suggested adding a requirement for the entries. For example, all entries could have the same theme or start with the same sentence or include the same character. I think this is a great idea. Let me know what you think.
Action, Adventure, Great Characters
Lots of great writing to share today!
First up, Elsy shares Chapter 4 of Marcia. This story is an excellent example of using Voice. Voice comes from the words and tone and style you choose for your story. It also includes the details, descriptions, actions, and emotions you choose to share. Make these choices based on how your narrator tells the story and your readers get to know your narrator. In Marcia, Elsy does a great job of letting her narrator’s attitude come shining through. This is the opening sentence of Chapter 4: “It was… breathtaking? Awesome? Enchanting? I could go on for hours, but I won’t because there is slightly more to say here.” Actually, there’s a lot more to say here and you should go read it.
Next up, Ink Wolf wrote Chapter 2 of Misty Island. I love Ink Wolf’s wild imagination and I know you will, too. Ink Wolf comes up with the most incredible characters in this story and shares just the right amount of imaginative details to make them unique, interesting, and fun. Ink Wolf is also very good at showing characters’ personalities through the way they talk.
And last but not least, Ink Wolf shares Hunter’s Adventure. This is a complete short story with action and adventure, told through the eyes of a kitten.
Enjoy!
Welcome New Writer & More Annavava
Please help me welcome our newest writer, Bunnie, by reading and commenting on her story, The Wind. I’m so glad you found us, Bunnie. I love your story and can’t wait to find out what happens next.
Mikaela posted Chapter Three of Annavava. Follow the link for lots of magical surprises.
First a Story, Now a Play!
Mikaela has adapted her story, The Twilight Hero, into a play. I’m excited that she’s sharing both versions on All Write with Me because this is a great opportunity to see the differences in formatting.
Read the story version here and the play version here. 
Writing plays can be challenging because you have to let your audience know everything they need to know through your characters’ dialogue and actions. I think Mikaela has done a fantastic job. Let her know what you think by leaving her a comment.
Looking for Something Good to Read?
In Chapter Two of Trilogy, Elsy reveals some startling facts about her characters.
More Academy
Yay! Elsy continued St. Charles Academy with Chapter 6, “Enforced Bonding.” This chapter is a great example of using dialogue to make readers love your characters. It also reveals new and surprising information.
The Trilogy Begins
Elsy shared Chapter 1 of her Trilogy. I’m sure you’ll love the characters in this story and there’s plenty of unanswered questions to keep you reading more. My favorite part is the way she ended the chapter with a few words of dialogue that sum up what happened while also deepening the mystery and creating concern for her main character.
Book Report
Read Mikaela’s report on A Question of Yams here. It sounds like a great book. Thanks for sharing, Mikaela!
Group Poetry and an Idea for All Write with Me’s Birthday Celebration
Neve has risen to the challenge and continued the group poem, Unicorn, with two awesome verses. Follow the link to see how she did it.
Awhile ago, Elsy asked for suggestions on how we might celebrate the site’s birthday, which is February 4. Mikaela responded by suggesting a writing contest. I’d like to know how everyone feels about this idea. Feel free to comment below.
New Story and More Sword
If you’re looking for an action-packed story, follow the link to The Twilight Hero. Mikaela starts this story with a serious bang. There’s also death, destruction and some blood so if you’re not into that sort of thing, you may want to skip this one.
She’s also submitted Chapter 6 of The Magic Sword of Trestia.
Impressive Poetry!
Mikaela added two verses to the group poem, Unicorn. Follow the link and read the poem out loud to hear its rhythm, tone and pacing. Then, consider writing the next verse. Remember, anyone can add to group poems. Excellent job, Mikaela!
Infinity and Auras
As Neve continues Infinity, we learn a little more about Adreada’s tragic past.
In Elsy’s Auras, the gang finds a mysterious warning waiting for them at Rainbow’s End.
Marked Five and a Poll
In Chapter 7 of Elsy’s Marked Five, Mr. Wickener shares surprising news about the groups’ powers.
Elsy wants to know which power you prefer. Let her know what you think by responding to her poll at the end of the chapter.
Two New Stories, Two Additions, and a Verse for Group Poetry
Neve started a new story, Infinity, by setting up her main character with this awesomely mysterious message: “And yet, one single star will change the course of history forever.”
She also continued Hunger (well-written, entertaining and exciting, but also frightening and gruesome, so you should skip this if stories give you nightmares) and added another verse to the group poem, Unicorn. As always, Neve’s beautifully descriptive language is sure to paint detailed images inside your mind.
Elsy started another great story called Now What? filled with characters you’ll love right from the start. She also continued Marcia with Chapter 3: Laughter and Tears. This story always makes me laugh but this time it also warmed my heart. Looks like Marcia has a bigger heart than she cares to admit and is starting to care about James and Lera.
Fantasy, a Request, and a New Poll
Elsy shared Chapter 6 of her ongoing fantasy, Marked Five. Follow the link to see which member of the group has gained the most control of his or her special powers.
Elsy would also like to do something special on All Write with Me to celebrate the site’s birthday, which is February 4. If you have any ideas for what we could do, comment below or reply to Elsy’s original comment here (you’ll have to scroll down to find it – look for the date: May 20).
Trista and Mikaela created a new poll for their story, War of the Two Worlds. Follow the link to read the story and cast your vote.
Welcome New Writer
Trista, a new writer on the site, teamed up with Mikaela to write the entertaining ongoing story, War of the Two Worlds. In this first chapter, you’ll meet Daniel, a 16-year-old boy, and Fyre, a sprite from another planet who has some awesome powers.
Welcome, Trista. I’m happy you’re here. Mikaela, I’m glad you found a writing partner and that you’re sharing your story on the site. I’m looking forward to whatever happens next. You both have great imaginations!
A Book Report on The Hobbit
Follow this link, The Hobbit Book Report, to read an example of a well-written book report, written by Mikaela. This report provides plenty of clear, concise details about The Hobbit without spoiling the story. Mikaela also shares what she liked about the book and why. And, as an added bonus, she also provides a link where you can read the book online, for free. Sweet!
Trilogy and More Marcia
Today I get to share the beginning of the site’s first trilogy, written by Elsy. She hasn’t decided on a title yet, so for now, you’ll find it by following the link, Trilogy.
Trilogies are three separate stories that all work together to tell another, overall story. Each of the three stories solves one or more of the problems that are in the way of solving the biggest problem, which isn’t solved until the end of the trilogy. Think of it as smaller stories inside one bigger story. It takes a lot of planning but I’m confident Elsy can do it!
She’s also written Chapter Two of Marcia, where you’ll get the first hint of what’s going on with this winged, magic-filled character.
Poor Kitty
See how Ink Wolf uses rhythm to help paint the picture of what happens to this poor cat in Down the Stairs.
Welcome New Writer and More Marked Five
Please help me welcome Ink Wolf by reading and commenting on this writer’s ongoing fantasy, Misty Island. I know you’re going to love Ink Wolf’s imagination. I do! Not only are there wolves (one with wings and two tails) but there’s also a dragon teacher – yay! – a sea monster (who seems to be a bit clumsy) and some dangerous shadow creatures determined to destroy and conquer everything. Wow, right? I’m so happy you found us, Ink Wolf, and can’t wait to read more!
In Chapter 5 of Marked Five, Elsy shows us what happens to Barney and how Ashley and Chris help him out of it.
Follow the links to read these great fantasies and remember to comment – I know both authors would love to hear what you think of their work!
The Mystery Continues
Mikaela added to the Mystery Group Project by having the strange female figure speak.
The First of Many (at least I hope so)
Mikaela submitted the first verse of the first poem for our Group Projects Poems. The poem is called Unicorn. Follow the link to read it, add to it or leave a comment.
New Addition to Group Projects
Mikeala came up with a fantastic idea for Group Projects: working together to write poetry. Someone would write the first verse, then someone else would write the second verse and so on. She’s done this with her friends and I think it sounds like a lot of fun.
So I’ve added a new section called Group Projects~Poems. You’ll find it listed over there on the right – keep scrolling down!
To get started, select this link: Instructions. You’ll find some topics you could write about, but don’t feel like you’re limited to these topics – you can start a poem about anything you wish, as often as you’d like. Just remember that if you’re starting a new poem, give it a title so I can list your poem under the Group Projects~Poems section for others to discover, read and continue.
Thanks for the suggestion, Mikeala – I love it!
