Happy Beginning!!

Quiana Speaking!
Okay guys, I was nice enough to put together this blog for you even though I'm sick of my computer and what to go DO something.
Some little things and concerns and whatnot about our lovely little blog: While it's name is GrOfFriNoWriYea, you have to type in WriterHuddle.blogspot.com to get here. Why? Because I figured "Writer Huddle" would be easier to remember than GrOfFriNoWriYea, which I've been practicing to try to pronounce and has been suggested that we just call "Goofy" for short.
If anyone wants the address to be something other than WriterHuddle, please say so. If anyone doesn't want their real name to be screamed out on the front page where everyone can see and would like to change it, please say so. If anyone wants to take away the exclamation point at the end of "GrOfFriNoWriYea Official Blog!", please say so. If anyone wants to change the background, please say so. If anyone wants to change anything whatsoever, please say so, and I will do my best to fix it.
So we all have our own pages now, except that me and Connor's name are kind of obscured by the binding of that book over there. I'll work on it. Go on and fill your pages with whatever information you may desire. Books you're working on, books you'd like to be working on, books you would like to be liking to be working on but you can't bring yourself to, and other cool stuff like that. My page will probably look like this:
"Hey, I'm Quiana. I am fourteen and like to write stuff. I hope to get in half a million words this year and I also think that squirtguns are very inadequate in the heat of battle."
Though I'll probably add something else in there too about Aura Sivian and how she is the best MC I've ever come up with and I still feel a little sorry for killing her.
On posts: There should be a nice blue bar at the top of your screen, and after your e-mail address there should be the words "New Post". Click on that and begin typing away! After you tell us who's posting,you can tell us all about your progress, your stories, how you're ultimately failing, how you love strawberries, ect. Pretty much whatever.
Also, I think the matter of Google Docs needs to be brought up NOW. To demonstrate how it works, I will pull up a random doc: Click here to view F.O.X. .
After you click on that and look at it, come back to this blog. What I just did was show you a random piece of my work without even having to e-mail it to you or anything. Google Docs is an awesome word processor that can be used to easily share stories and whatnot. It's also very nice if you're collaborating your story, since people can be viewing and editing at the same time, and there's a nice little chat box on the side.
Linnea and I will spend hours on end typing away on Docs throwing characters in interesting situations and seeing if we can make them fall in love.
For more questions or concerns about Docs, just drop keylime223@gmail.com.
Anyway, sorry for that little blurb right there. I totally sounded like a salesman right there, didn't I? I apologize. I promise I was not payed by Google to advertise.
Good luck with your stories! Have a WONDERFUL new year!

  1. Hahaha! First comment! CALLED it! I'm hyper, and I have no idea how to work a blog because I've never done one before. What's your name? (Post in this order: Middle, Last, first) ;D

  2. No really. Don't because that is personal info and I am totally not..ahem.. a stalker or anything.

    No, I'm really not. No one will ever trust me again. The despair.

    I AM hyper. Can you tell?

  3. It is a shame that Aura died. But she came back, didn't she? And besides some mild emotional and mental trauma, she's okay. She'll get over it eventually.

  4. Quiara, can you take my personal name off of my page? Turn it to "Alex Lloyd." That's my pen name. Thank you!
