Murtagh. 😀

Well, I’ve actually never been in an official play, but I’ve organized countless (and better forgotten) skits with my siblings, and since those days my love for the dramatic and for acting has only grown. How about you?

Oh dear, it’s been so long since I’ve read it…well, Eragon was one of my favorites. I also really like Aria. What about you?

I saw in your first comment that you like drama. What plays have you done?

That’s great! Keep it up with the calligraphy. It comes slow at first, but practice will make perfect.

Who was your favorite character in the Inheritance Cycle? Mine’s somewhat of an odd choice, so I’ll tell you after you tell me yours. 😛

Wow, Kate! Nice! I like painting in general, but I especially enjoy painting with watercolors. Acrylics are a lots of fun, too. Also, I’ve recently been interested in calligraphy, so I’ve been doing that a little, as well.

What art forms do you most enjoy? I love painting with oils, acrylics, and watercolors. I also woodburn, do calligraphy, and have recently taken up digital art.

Hey there, Greta! Welcome to the Online Home for Nutcases.

There. I’ve warned you.

But welcome just the same. 😛

You like a lot of the things I do— drama, LotR, fantasy, art… and writing, of course. And before anyone else jumps on here and bashes the Inheritance Cycle, I’ll tell you I also enjoyed it, no matter its shortcomings. I didn’t…[Read more]

Hi Ivy! Thank you! I write fiction, especially fantasy. What about you?

Yep, it was Dumas. 😛

I don’t think it’s bad at all to steal other author’s styles— it’s a definite feather in your cap if you can pull it off.

I can’t.

So I’m stuck with inventing my own style.

Ho-hum.

😛

Yup. Light you know.

Thanks, I see what you mean there. 🙂
But, I don’t see a problem with scootch. Does the rhyming not fit? Or are you just against its validity of being a word?

Not officially joining. But I’m still trying to finish my book within the month of November.

What? What did I do?

Thanks David. I’ve got it now.

When your five year old sister asks you, out of the blue, ‘Why are all writers crazy?’…

… you know you’re a writer.

Hey, we could turn this thread into a book. ‘The Aspiring Writer’s Guide to the Ins and Outs of a True Writer’s Life— are you, or are you not?’

Here I am at last, Daeus! Sorry— busy day.

As a whole, this passage is much, much better. You seem to be great with dialogue— wonderful for a beginner. I love the whole thing about doing things and doing nothings— so fun. This guy telling the story is a great character.

I would definitely work with the commas, as you pointed out, and as…[Read more]

So, as I was saying, there I was, sitting on the bench as I always doesn’t.

I absolutely love that line…and the whole passage too. It’s a very interesting telling of what happened without seeming to really be told, if you get my meaning. It just flows. Anyway, I just have two corrections.

They sat around one large table feasting in bursts o…

You know you’re a writer when you make writing an excuse for everything.

Why are you talking you yourself? I’m a writer.

Why are you researching how to fight with a dagger? I’m a writer.

Why are you always on the computer? Take a guess…
