@emma-flournoy would Kingdom Pen be ingdomKay enPay?

@Ethryndal XD

@Aratrea Got it. He does tempt Ethaniel with the idea of giving him a name, but it is more trying to give what he thinks Ethaniel wants than trying to convince him to his own point of view.

@Kina-Lamb Oh no, it’s not nearly so hard as talking backwards! *shudder* Once you get the hang of it it’s really easy. What you do is, you take the first letter or sound from the beginning of the word, and put it at the end with an ‘ay’ on it. Pig Latin=igPay atinLay.
Kina Lamb=inaKay ambLay. Emma Flournoy=mmaEay lournoyFay. Make sense? It’s quite fun.

@PerfectFifths 😀 Have a good relaxing wait.

@emma-flournoy wow, I’m seriously impressed, Emma! Is pig language talking backwards, or was that just someone teasing me?

@Kina-Lamb Oh yes, pretty fluent. 😉

@PerfectFifths Oh dear, the Hom Life one especially isn’t very soon. 🙁 If I read that correctly—July.

Thank you so much, @sierra-r! Wow, those pictures are absolutely beautiful! I’m inspired. I think your camera is two models newer than mine, and I love the way they look. 😀 And the way you captured the sunlight is really neat. 😀

@emma-flournoy Wow, pig latin? Are you fluent?

@Kina-Lamb The Hidden Hand sounds great. I recognize the name, actually; I guess I have heard of it, maybe we just don’t have it.
We have The Building on the Rock books. 🙂

I’m not learning any other languages right now (though I know Pig Latin really well 😉 ), but I do love linguistic stuff, and I know lots of roots. I like looking at different…[Read more]

@PerfectFifths Waiting…and waiting…I feel for you. When are the results announced?

@Arella-Noreen I know Dallas, but I don’t really know where it is, so; yeah, you live somewhere in Texas! That’s fine, ’cause I wouldn’t know many other places there either. I think we were northeast TX.

@Ethryndal Yay!

@Aratrea then… hm. So then it’s possible for a character to be more than one of the three types? Because she’s definitely a type one, and yet when you said that I realize she could also be a type two after a fashion. Does that work?

@dragon-snapper thanks! Yes, I love all those too. And Barbara Manatee.

Well you see, I was four years old and was helping Daddy pump the gas. And I got too close. And it got in my eyes. And that’s how it happened. Thankfully it happened only five minutes away from our house, and mama was able to dump a water-bottle full of water into my eyes…[Read more]

@Aratrea

My main villain is a former friend of Ethaniel’s. They were messengers together and developed a strong bond because Ethaniel has no name and Keros (who ends up becoming the villain) was of mixed blood (Ethaniel actually helped and cared for Keros when Keros first joined the force. He’s the main reason Keros stayed). Keros’s EiL is that a…[Read more]

I know, @northerner , I did break fairy tale protocol. (When I did, it felt like I was banging my head against a brick wall.) There was a lot of age difference, though. Sorry. 😉

Thanks for your opinion, I agree with you. I think her experiences should make her want to do something to help other princesses who may suffer from similar…[Read more]

Those are some good ideas, @kate-flournoy . I was thinking that I needed to either make the story more about the princess, or the peddler, and I started to go with the princess, which is why I cut out some at the end that talked about his life after the whole affair. However, what you wrote made me think about it some more, and I think the…[Read more]
