You know you’re a writer when you visit the US Air Force Museum and spend your entire time wandering around reading the plaques about the pilots instead of looking at the airplanes. 😛

Yes @anna-brie and @hannah-c and @faithdk, don’t be too hard on yourselves starting out. Don’t be afraid to acknowledge your mistakes, but don’t be afraid to keep writing either. The only way to write better is to keep writing, no matter how terrible your first attempts are.
Seriously guys, my first attempts… heh-heh… to call them junk would…[Read more]

@bluejay you seem to be an animal lover— do you like my donkey? 😉 😉 😀

Yes, that was one of the reasons I dropped watercolor for oils and acrylics. It took for-ev-er to get enough layers to make shadows and textures realistic. So glad you like the painting @David! 😀 Here, let’s see if I can get another one…

This one is a classic example of the difficulties of doing vibrant watercolors— notice how streaked and…[Read more] -
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Pencil/ charcoal drawing and shading in the forum Art 10 years, 5 months ago
People. Beyond a doubt, people, which is odd, since I have trouble drawing them as well as I can draw some things. But what’s so fun about people is that no two are alike— I love trying to capture their personalities in paint almost as much as I love trying to capture them in words.
I do love humor, as well, though I seem to be better at…[Read more] -

BTW 10-10:30 etc is my time. 8-8:30 is your time. 😛

Yes @anna-brie Monday (America) is Tuesday (Australia)
@daeus would it suit you to do 10-10:30AM (8-8:30PM) each day? (if it works out and we have time) Or 10:30-11AM (8:30-9PM)? That’s when it would best for me, and if I know I can plan my day to fit. 😀 -

@sarah-h Thank you. It is appreciated. 🙂

No problem at all. *After all, we still have lives to live.* 😀 We can just play it by ear. 😛

Yes, can try tomorrow. And that’s alright, I’m out of the house too. (I’m at my brother’s house) 😛
*drink my medication; yuck!!!* Ohhh, that last mouthful was awful. *blah* -

Yep, @Daeus got pretty much everything I was going to say. 😉 So… yeah. What he said. 😛

So 10:10am (my time) is 8:10pm (your time). Just so we know. @daeus

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Painting in the forum Art 10 years, 5 months ago
The sky doesn’t look too terribly blended to me, @david. 🙂
My thing is, I can tend to stress too much about details, and my paintings end up looking kind of crowded. I tend to ignore the forest for the trees, you know what I mean? I think that also explains the tendency I have to over-describe things in my writing. 😉Here… I’m going to try…[Read more]

Birds and fish, @david? Ugh. *shudders* I cannot draw either of those to save my life. Awesome for you that you enjoy them! 😀

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic W.I.P. Lounge Club (Writers Only!) in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 5 months ago
The most painful, I think @aella (and what I’m having to do now as I edit 🙁 ) is cutting characters completely and totally out of the story. It’s not the same as killing them— it’s like you get to know them, and then you’re just like ‘Sorry, you guys have to go because… whatever’. And then they’re gone. Boom. Just like that. Nonexistent. Not…[Read more]

I looked, and it seems like 8:30 in the evening for me is something like 10:00ish in the morning for you. Would that work for you? It would be nice to do that on a regular basis.
@daeus Yay! Thank you. I don’t know if I would be free everyday (I do lots of chores around the house) but I would definitely try and be free. Would you like to write now?

@rolena-hatfield Thank you. Praying buddies are the best thing in life. If you want I could get @spradlin to send you my personal email so we could send prayer request to each other if you want. Don’t have to. Just an idea. 😀
