TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic What's a question??? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 6 months ago
Do you purpose a different definition of reality? Is existing the state of being real, and reality is something that is real/actual? (Wow I’m really confusing myself here. 😅 So I don’t think reality is everything that is self aware, at least, that’s not how I look at it. Self awareness is different. If I am unconscious, I am not self a…

Ok, so on chapter 2:
Interesting, I don’t think I have any major critiques or anything on this one. As for Nia, I wouldn’t call her a villain, though she is a minor conflict. I don’t think she’s overboard at all, she’s just not a very likeable character currently, so if that’s what you were aiming for, I think you did great!…[Read more]

Thanks! I definitely was kind of experimenting with a lot of different things that I normally don’t do in my writing… Like prophecy, and more POVs than I’m used to. Throughout the next few chapters, more are added in, including the male POV. I think something I’ve also done is made a lot of the characters similar in persona…

(The definition of reality I’m using here is “the state of existing”. Just to be clear.) Perhaps there are two kinds of realities: the reality that has always been, (God), and the reality that He created, (time and space)? Did God create reality? Is God reality, since He has created everything and has always existed?
If reality is sim…[Read more]

Very intriguing! It captures a very classical fantasy vibe quickly with swords, prophecies… as well as dragons of course, I’m interested where you will take that. I will say that the pacing felt a little weird to me, not because your getting into it too quickly (I’m far worse with that), but because it felt like Kirah was too…[Read more]

Karci sounds very intriguing! It sounds like your really digging into the deeper political dynamics going on.

Your characters sound so sweet! Love the boards! That gives me a little more context for them in your writing I’ve read so far.
Yeah, I think that’s a good choice. It is the sad truth, but it’s a truth regardless. I think of Azula from Avatar the Last Airbender. We don’t know of any future redemption for her after the…[Read more]

(Ok I see what you mean. Curiosity seems more like a ‘wanting to know more’ for amusement, rather than a hunger or desire for deep knowledge. Although the former could just be because of a certain monkey I always think of whenever I hear the word curious. 😉 )
(Yep! You summed up what I was thinking pretty well there XD)

I never got tagged so I didn’t see your response, lol, sorry.
I’m learning quite a few languages! I’ve finished a course and I’m conversational in Hawaiian, I’m proficient in Australian Sign Language and I’m currently learning Scottish Gaelic and Romanian. In the future I’d love to learn Welsh and Māori. And no I haven’t done…

(Curiosity sums it up pretty well, in my opinion.) Do you think there’s something missing?
(Yeah, I think it’s a good summery. It feels like the word curiosity doesn’t give a complete connotation though.) I’m not sure, perhaps there are different degrees of what curiosity is? Does that stray from the heart of a question? (I would say t…[Read more]

Ooh, your charries sound so interesting! 😲 I already loved N’Nesha and Liren tho…so…y’know…XD But the other two sound really cool too!!! 😁
I feel so bad for Liren…😭 I hope he has at least a semi-happy ending…❤️
Thanks to you too! I’ve seen a few of your characters already as well, but not all of them, your villain…[Read more]

Thanks for the topic! Your characters sound really fun!

I like it! I think the pacing is good. Although, it felt a little redundant with the same status quo shift three times over with the soldiers holding guns. That wouldn’t necessarily be unrealistic in any way though, so I think it’s fine. As for Dao, he seems fun. I immediately thought of Tom…[Read more]

What about curiosity? Does that tie in with the desire for a deeper understanding?
Is that not perhaps the definition of a desire for a deeper understanding? Does there still feel like there’s something missing though?
Well ok, not by themselves, but since I’ve eaten them, haven’t I inherently tasted them, even if I didn’t consc…

It looks great! Thanks for sharing! I’ll totally listen to it if I get the time. 🙂
Can’t wait to discuss it if and when your able to tune in!
Sounds cool sadly if all goes well I will be in New York watching Sweeney Todd during that time. If there is a way to watch it later I might check it out.
No worries! Yeah, you’ll be able to watch it whenever you’re able! The link I gave, BYUtv, and YouTube are probably the best ways to watch it during and after the live sessions, so there’s many ways to watch it any time!
Unfortunately, our area just suffered a tornado, so I will not be able to watch it live, as we are helping with the damage. However, I will definitely watch it as soon as I am able. 🙂
Oh No! I hope everyone is ok, we’ll keep you and everyone else over there in our prayers!
Thank you so much! Unfortunately, three people died when the airport was destroyed, and our friend’s house was destroyed, but they are okay.
Oh no! I’ll be praying for you! ❤️
Thank you!!!
That’s so sad, It’s awesome that your able to serve them though, you’re in our prayers!
Ok, thanks for the invite! 🙂
I’m glad I’ve been able to edify and encourage you in your faith! 😀
You really have😀
Thanks for this resource! I will try to check this out when I have time. I’ve appreciated our discussions and have learned so much from them. Thank you for your willingness to listen and your thoughtful responses!
I’ve learned a lot too! The discussions we’ve had have been so fun and edifying. I can’t wait to talk more soon, and maybe discuss this when you get the chance to listen to it. I really loved Saturday 3rd session, and all of Sunday’s were amazing! Can’t wait to hear any thoughts!
I did watch through the first session and was struck by the inspiring speaking. Also the choir was amazing.
Yay! Which was your favorite speaker? I loved all of them, but I think Elder Eyring’s the most for the first session. Yeah, the tabernacle choir is beautiful, I think I take it for granted sometimes.
Maybe Mr. Stevenson? I appreciated how he wanted to do something more meaningful with his family for Easter.
@felicity
Yeah, I love Elder Stevenson!
