Kate Flournoy replied to the topic The Mind of a Writer in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 10 months ago
@Daeus yes, I can see how that would be awful. 😛 I guess it would be truer to say it motivates me to pay better attention and not just drift off into aimless dreaming, because then I might miss something.
And that is hilarious. You probably are a road hazard, but if you are we can be road hazards together because I do the same thing. Once I…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Thanks. Hmm…I’ll have to start this notebook carrying. It seems like a good idea.
No you’re not the only one, Kate. I don’t do it all the time, but when my sister got married we had white ribbons on the car and everyone waved at us or gave us a thumbs up. It was lots of fun.

@Bluejay wha—??? BUT THEY’RE MY IDEAS!!! *selfishly hoards them all*
Okay, okay… I’ll keep you in mind, Tessa. 😉 Carry a notebook with you though. Seriously. I’ve passed someone on the street before, been struck by the look in their eyes, and within five minutes had a complete character profile sketched out in my head.
Also please tell me…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy If you ever want to share some of those wonderful ideas, feel free. *smiles* 🙂

@Daeus ME TOO!! I didn’t think anybody else did that. 😛 Listening to a sermon has become practically hazardous for me now. I’ll get home and furiously race to scribble references and notes and possible foils and different thematic scenarios in my notebook.
And that has at least two other positives, completely aside from writing— it makes me…[Read more] -

@Sarah-H Don’t worry, I’m not planning to start a huge argument. 😀 But may I ask, why don’t you consider Trump evil and corrupt if you know he’s led an ungodly life and is worldly?
Also what do you take to mean he’s pro-Christian? I know he’s said things that sound like it, but he’s also said he’s never asked God for forgiveness, and that he…[Read more] -

Awww…so sweet. 😀
I really need to read those books someday. Do you think they’d be in a small town library? *small sigh because I most likely know the answer*Oh and I remembered the gang member I was thinking of earlier—Chris. Does he have any part to play? I don’t know that much about him.
By the way, I love nearer the front of the story…[Read more]

@overcomer I can join you.

I’m going to be researching/studying/taking notes for 2 hours, which I guess, sorta counts as writing, if anyone wants to join me. 🙂

@anne-of-lothlorien I’m afraid I haven’t had that problem, or whatever you want to call that. I really only talk to my stuff, and other people. My conversations are with my things. Its a good thing they never talk back, though, because that could get interesting.
@writefury Well, my writing is littered with it, though I can use a sentence every…[Read more]

Rosey Mucklestone replied to the topic Blank Mastermind in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 years, 10 months ago
@emma-flournoy– Again, that came from Fergus. Fergus is the shieldbearer for Lord McDougal (a total goofball of a lord) and Fergus takes his job deadly serious. He always calls McDougal ‘sir’, he’s always the voice of logic, he rarely smiles and his loyalty is really unmatched. Really, such a serious guy, but he’s the biggest sweetheart. Quite…[Read more]

@Writefury I can definitely see the Horatio in Dallas, but Dallas is sweeter. I love it that way. 😀
I don’t know any of those other characters, except Hiccup, from awhile ago.
Why did you decide to make a sidekick this way, instead of just hilarious? It’s so nice. 😀 Though we’ve never actually seen him doing sidekick business, with his hero, so…[Read more] -

@Sarah-H I don’t remember… it was a very old, vague account and I read it a long time ago. I think they were somewhere around the size of a turkey, and I don’t think they could fly, though they were said to be very colorful. Fun thinking about, isn’t it? 😀 Greedy, colorful, turkey-sized dinosaurs… XD
I know!
…And it’s really funny, if…[Read more] -

@emma-flournoy– d’awww <3

Character inspiration… that’s a quite interesting topic, actually. Let’s list…
Wolfgang- Narration voice was strongly inspired by Sage from the Ascendance Trilogy (I just really loved how I could be reading the most boring scene in the whole book and still be grinning and unable to put it down because the…[Read more]

No, I LIKE this first person narration! What I just said was the ONLY sad thing about it. 😛 I generally just don’t like the style of first person. But this is NOT bland at all.
Oh and @Writefury , your villain is so. much. nicer. than the one in the video. That one’s funny, yeah, but I just adore the fact that Wolfy wants to be good, and start…[Read more]

@Writefury yeah. What she said. 😛 We pretty much speak for each other on most things.
Except I’m not sad about the first person POV. *glares at Emma, arches eyebrow* Don’t be picky, sister. Don’t be picky. First person POV can be lovely.And that Studio C is hilarious; I can definitely see how that contributed.

What can I say other than wow, wow, wow, and wow forever? I absolutely love this story. Any of you who haven’t been following it, you’ll have a lot to catch up on, but it’ll be worth it, I promise!! *clasps hands in passionate appeal*
Rosey, was Wolfgang inspired by anyone in particular?
I must say, you are the BEST (by which I mean WORST!!!) at…[Read more]
