Oooooh… wonderful topic! Nice brain stretcher! Okay, let’s see here, bear with me as I try to organize my thoughts.
1. I do not believe that mercy killings are acceptable. Simple enough— I’ll explain, but gimme a moment.
2. I do believe it would be a fantastic story element to challenge any character if it is not glorified.Now. Why don’t I…[Read more]

@adry_grace I’ve never been a fan of the “Which do you save the one or the many” questions.
Ah, but this is such a hard question…one you can use to torment characters no matter what your stand on it. The same with mercy killings. I can’t really argue for them because I don’t believe killing is right. And yet, because everyone agreeing doesn…[Read more]

We’ve not had a tough topic on here for awhile, so I decided to start another one. That, and I was thinking up potentially tragic moments for one of my WIPs and considered a scene with a mercy killing, where a friend is forced to kill another friend because the latter friend is mortally wounded and/or can’t be moved, enemies are approaching,…[Read more]

Also, your sister is writing much better than I was at her age. My stories were barely a paragraph long.

@the-happy-bookaholic forum shipping…that made me laugh so hard. I know exactly what shipping is… Perfect though. 😉 Absolutely perfect.

Yes, he’s the first character who practically wrote himself. 😉

Sweet. Yeah, I can definitely see why you wanted to enlarge on him… 😉

@faithdk That’s funny. *writes that into word document of future stories to write* Seriously I can already picture it too. 😛

@faithdk thanks for dropping in. 🙂 I think I’ll end up putting a tree in, just because it is a story for children. I might make it a bit easier for a child to visualize.

Noooo… not necessarily. I think she could just climb down the gutter.

BlueJay replied to the topic Newsflash: Missing Cat, but how did it escape? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 10 years, 5 months ago
Awwwwww…..thanks @kate-flournoy you just made my day. *wipes happy tears with a tissue*
Do you think she needs a tree near the house to get down? I know cats can drop and land on their feet, but would it be better for her to climb down? Would that be nicer for a child to hear/read? -

Sounds just peachy to me, @bluejay! Go for it! You know, you’re really doing much better about coming up with creative story ideas. Keep it up! You’re growing. 😀

He does sound quite fun, @Daeus. I love it when nameless minor characters are identified by their specific traits. 🙂

about 90,000 words,
*groans* Oh, the bliss of dealing with such a small word-count! I know, I know, it’s my fault… *sniff* How I would love to write something that short, though! 😛

BlueJay replied to the topic Writer's Corner in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 5 months ago
@daeus Congrats. That’s a great idea. Maybe I should do that too…
@kate-flournoy I know, I’m so relieved to have solved it. Head back to the topic at the missing cats and tell me if my idea would work. (and you too @daeus) - Load More
