Interesting chapter!! I like it!
oh, and I really loved this:
“Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t kill you right now,” the Pythonos pressed the bloody knife to Marcurious’ throat.
Marcurious coughed. “Because I am just so amazing,” he flashed the Pythonos a smile.
One question… how old is Marcurious?

Gahh!! I was experimenting and playing around with present tense and now my brain gears are jamming now that I’m trying to do past tense again! It looks so wrong GAAHHHHH!!! XD

Jonas volunteered Riina first, obviously, but if that doesn’t work out, Saoirse might be able to get him to dance. She’s still skulking around.

Hello! Welcome to KP.
I’m Elizabeth. I’m homeschooled, and I love fantasy and going fun places. I also like cats, I have a pet cat named Willow. She’s crazy and shoes and socks terrify her. Idk why.
Questions:
Would you own a fire-breathing cat if you had the option to do so?

Of course you can join! I think that’s what we’re doing, everyday. Some days we might have to switch it up, but that’s what we’re doing for now.
(As long as everyone’s good with that)

@everybody
I’m so sorry, I promise I didn’t mean to just vanish from the conversation for the day.
Three sounds like a good idea. Do you all think it’d be okay to read 3 every day of the week?
I think we might have to change it up a bit when we get to Exodus and Leviticus. Some of those chapters are packed with so much information that I can’t…[Read more]

Belle walked along the garden pathway. Each step she took was place in a slow, queen-like manner. Her hourglass body was clothed in one of her purple mermaid dresses, and it sparkled and shined in the morning sun. Gold earrings dangled from her small ears, and a simple gold necklace sat around her fair neck.
Birds flew back in forth in the…[Read more] -

@hybridlore @everyone-else
Honestly, I’m good with anything. I think the three chapters a day sounds like a good idea, though.

Ohh… I don’t usually like to make resolutions for the coming year because I become crazy if I don’t complete the goals… but I do plan to:
– Draw closer to God (but that’s also a lifelong goal)
– Finish the first book in my series and then start planning/writing the second book
– this may seem strange, but another goal is to finish my math book…[Read more]

Just…don’t do present tense.
Y?
Cause it usu Sounds weird.
Typos ignore
Cause it sounds weird? Was that what you were saying? After a bit, your brain shifts, and you dont even notice it. I like it with first person, as long as it isn’t just for no reason.
@jonas I personally LOVE doing first person present tense, but not third person present. Because I switch both tenses and person, I often have no problem with my brain gears.
Yeah third person present tense is bad. I personally don’t care for present tense at all. I think of it similarly to second person narration.
@jonas @rae
I’m just gonna jump in on this conversation lol…
I also LOVE first person present tense…but I HATE…I mean HATE third person present…unless of course I’m writing a certain depressing short story about my life a couple months ago heh…heh….OH! I cannot STAND second person…*retches over the side of the bed* Like WHO in their…[Read more]
@savannah_grace2009
The thing with second person is that it implies that the reader is the main character, which means you can’t design your own character. One week in my creative writing class, we did have a 2nd person assignment, but it was a choose your own adventure story.
@jonas
I know! That’s the sad part…no fun characters ):
Yeah that’s true…haha!
This is the technical side to present tense. Present tense adde immediacy—it feels like it’s happening *right now.* This is really good in some specific scenarios, but there’s one major problem. It is hard to maintain, it’s exhausting to read something long in present tense. Second person should almost always be present tense, and first person…[Read more]
@freedomwriter76 I’m not saying it’s bad to read, but when it comes to writing…I like the big picture. Besides, I write from the POV of Ru Eis most the time, and since she researches the events, they can’t really work well for Present Tense. It’d be like Laura Hillenbrand doing present tense for Unbroken.
