Today I spilled my coffee. Someone is going to die

This line (and the explanation) made me laugh hard…albeit mainly internally because my sister is sitting behind me and thinks me crazy enough as it is. 😉

Writhe. And Defiance. Oh, and Glare…I probably overuse that. 🙂

Oh and incision. And schism. And chasm.

Balderdash. Rubbish.

Yep, that’s me all over. Except I don’t purposely daydream— I hatch a plotline while I’m in the middle of another novel, and by the time I get around to writing that plotline, the book is already all written out in my head. The thing is to get it down on paper. And often it will change with the writing— hopefully always for the better. 😛

Also remember, Jackson, that the Biblical account of the crucifixion was not graphic in the least. Now, a lot of that may have to do with the familiarity people of those times had with the gruesome punishment of the cross, and so they could appreciate it without context. But even if you are trying to remind your audience of something they are not…[Read more]

Ah… despotism. You’re right, Daeus. It’s so… intellectually cruel.

Another favorite is hoarfrost.

I like Paladin, Rosey. Only when you capitalize it like I just did, it looks like a name…:P

Starveling. I like it. I’ll have to use that too.
Foundling
Paladin
Loresman
Peleg chronicles words.:P

Hey you may have something there…how many trees do you reckon he ruined accomplishing that?!

To add to our collection of demeaning and depressing words… pauper. And waif. And starveling. Which means basically the same thing as pauper… but oh well. Differences, you know.
Oh, and another really, really, really good word, especially for a…[Read more]

Kate, he’s from OYAN. He knows the meaning of insane all too well. I was like the only one professing to be sane on that forum. I seem to be starting a pattern here…
Well, hi Mark! Welcome to Kingdom Pen! Always nice to have another active member around. 😉 If you haven’t noticed, we’re a bit of a ghost town.

Doesn’t look that bad, actually. How far are you through it? What part got you bored? Please, tell us what is boring so we may give it a makeover.
The part that I think I’d have fun writing would be the whole disappearing thing. It’s not a curse and she gets captured or something, right? Just follow the logical progression of the story and find…[Read more]

Platypuses… elephants, it would appear. Well, Mark— welcome to Kingdom Pen! I would issue a warning about the sanity of this place, but you seem to be walking into this with both your eyes open, so howdy and so glad to have you here!

Oh.
I thought that was only with velvet when it came to antlers.
>P

Serfs and vassals are great too— it must be something about those medieval words.

The word, Hannah, would be evolved. Another great one… only it has… hm… unsavory associations. 😛

EZRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR ANTLERS!!!!???????????

Downtrodden. Outcast. Conquered. Puppet. Tool. Servile. Castaway. Unwanted. Or can you say gloomy…

Ow…

Oh minion! Yes, I forgot that one. It’s a wonderful word. So… I don’t know, humiliating. 😛 And underling too— lovely. *Shivers, rubs hands together*
@HannahWilson— aren’t those tomato varieties? 🙂
@Rosey—I love the word privateer as well! And I know what defenestration means, but I’m not sure I’d ever use it…

Also, one great word I…[Read more]
