Riiiiight @Daeus. Swahili. You had me fooled for a minute there…

… okay, no, you didn’t. I knew you would know exactly what a Huguenot was. 😉

And yeah, dialogue is a lot easier now that you mention it. I mean, it’s kinda hard NOT to live in the moment when you’re doing a dialogue scene. 😛 *tries to imagine a dialogue scene otherwise* Ugh.…[Read more]

Haha… it’s okay. You are by NO MEANS the first person to do so. It’s a Huguenot name, you might be interested to know… French. 😉

And any scenes I might have of that sort would all be from my very earliest literary endeavors and there is no way on this earth I am posting one of those, but I’ll post a little moment from my WIP you can…[Read more]

An order of monks who have taken a vow of cheerful chattering.

You have no idea how hard that made me laugh, @Anna-Brie. 😀

Ah, this is a great topic, @Daeus. I know EXACTLY what you’re talking about— only I never had to go through the transition you’re going through now. My books always started as movies in my head— a visual reference to set down on paper, and I wrote it as I saw it, not as I thought it ‘ought to be written’, if you know what I mean.

I don’t…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy: Now THAT would be something. 😛

@Daeus: Thanks so much for sharing this! I’ve never really thought about it before, but the example you gave makes a lot of sense. The second example really sucks you into the story because you feel like you’re a part of the story. Like I said, I’ve never really thought about that before. I’ll have to look out for “textbook writing” in my…[Read more]

So cute, @sarah-h. Tell your little brother ‘well done.’

@kate-flournoy That top one actually sounds like the plot of Eight Cousins to an extent. XD

A super cheerful, perky character who swooshes around in a long, evil-looking, black hooded cape.

A merry, cheerful old uncle who wins the heart of his glum, sour, peevish young niece.

And a fantasy uncle (brother to the king and uncle to the prince) who is NOT a usurper. 😛

Ooh… that would be something @Joy-Schmidt. 😀

@kate-flournoy Maybe both together… XD

@daeus Thanks! 🙂

Good thoughts, everyone. 🙂

Oh @writefury those last two—! Oh man, you need to write those. That would be beyond hilarious.

I’m actually in the process of writing out the gentle giant knight and action-girl princess story I had the idea for on here. 😛 Thanks for starting it up, @hope!

A suave young garbageman
An eco-friendly villain who rides his bike everywhere and recycles his poison receptacles.

“Ah! Mommy, there’s the panda! I love him so much!”
Yet another child’s squeal reached my ears and I glanced up from my bamboo munching to the adoring crowd that seemed to always be crowded to near my enclosure.
I sighed and lumbered about halfway to them before sitting back down to eat the rest of my snack.
“Wow!” observed a nearby zookeeper.…[Read more]

Yeeeah… I wouldn’t agree with the point of that section at all. :/
I mean, in the Bible we hear about those who thought they were serving God by doing good works in his name only to hear in the end “I never knew you. Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.” With that, it seems pretty obvious that a pagan can’t, without even knowing God,…[Read more]

Or even explaining what a video is! 🙂
My youngest sister adores the old Cinderella. I love the new Cinderella movie. (The acted out one.) Have you seen it? If not, you should. It is great. 😛

The rain lashed down on my ship. I stood with my paws braced on the deck. Rats scurried around me, fastening things. One of them, the boatswain, slipped on the slippery deck and took a nose dive. He glanced up to find me watching him.
“Capt’n, we need to drop anchor. We are going to die if we continue.”
“Nonsense,” I roared back over the noise of…[Read more]
