@emily @catwing ‘Sup. 😀

I’m writing, and going to find way better music than this…because this…must stop.

It kinda disconnects me in a way. Even in third person narratives, you can reach this point where you feel like stuff in the story is happening right now. But dairy entries interrupt that for me. They serve as a constant reminder that the action I am reading about has happened already which is a bit distancing. Maybe it’s just me.

Nope. I’m w…[Read more]

@Daeus Keep writing it, and if it still feels worthless, stop. 😛 As of right now though, it is pretty cool. His POV is intriguing. I think mostly only writers would understand—at least really GET—a story like this though, not regular readers…

@allison-grace @emily @ingridrd @daeus @catwing @epicaddie2 Baring unforeseen circumstances such as dog or something else, I’m writing for the next hourish.

Welcome @Dekreel! My family used to live in TX, and it IS WAY TOO HOT.
Glad you came on the forum. 😀

@Anne-of-Lothlorien Haha!!!

@Daeus This is the 3rd Person thingy, right? But regardless, yup. It might be closer to two weeks depending on what comes up though. Me and my notorious slow reading. :/

I love Audiomachine music. @emily TREE OF LIFE!!! *dies* So beautiful!

Although I think one song that I really think is inspiring is by Enya, The River Sings. I love that one…very hero-returns-from-journey-ish.

For my upcoming WIP, I find that Stained Glass by Jon Guerra is perfect. It’s basically for his character arc.

@Ingridrd millions.

Okay, maybe not millions… ;P But practically every piece of music I hear reminds me of something or someone somewhere. This is one of my favorites, for the brother (king) of my current MC.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 😂 😂 😂

@That_Writer_Girl_99 a girl after my own heart. 😉

@That_Writer_Girl_99 good thoughts. I played around a lot with government and where it fits in, but it was so equally part of all four of the pillars I couldn’t bring myself to make it its own separate one. 😛
It’s probably the most perfect manifestation of a country’s EiL within itself, whereas Economy is a further exploration of that outside of…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Ooooh I was talking about this a while back… let me go copy and paste my emails… XD

It’s a fairly simple thing, but once you delve into it there’s a lot to work with.
Basically, I came up with four pillars I think every culture is built on.

1. History
2. Religion
3. Geography
4. Economy

In that order. History and Religion…

@anne-of-lothlorien Ah, look what you did to Christi!

@christi-eaton

@dekreel
*nods sagely* Greetings.
So…*rubs hands together* Welcome to the bestistest place on the internets! Ah, instrumental. I love instrumental as well. Who are some of your favorite artists?

Greetings back atcha, @Dekreel! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet. 😀 Cool! What poem was that?
What genre do you write? What’s your favorite book, if you can choose one? What kind of music do you like?

@anne-of-lothlorien Lovely! XD

@daeus Nice one. You got a line of respect. 😛

You know you’re a writer when you’re decided whether you want to include someone’s backstory or not, and decide to do so not because it’s fun to write, but because it’s heart wrenching and when you say so, your sister says only this, “Sigh.”

@Jess lovely topic. I have a lot of thoughts on unhappy endings, but I haven’t got time to consolidate them all now, so I’ll just leave you with the biggest two.

The first is the concept of catharsis. The reader must be satisfied in some way or other. The reader must feel that something was gained; that the world is somehow better as they leave…[Read more]
