Lunar Inklings

@Jenwriter17 yes same! I thought of that too actually.

Something else I thought of was that the king just handed over his signet ring to his second in command (now Mordecai) and like DUDE, DIDN’T YOU EVEN LEARN??? I mean, luckily it was fine, but still. XD

@dragon-snapper Oh, what an unfeeling character! 🙂 😀

*whoop* I think I’ve almost gotten past the bridge part and to the excitement!  I do believe one of my characters is about to fall off a cliff.

@seekjustice Good morning Australia!  Have you got that idea figured out for me today?  (Don’t worry too much about it, though, since I’m working on…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Ack!  Sometimes it’s like a knife they’re sticking into you:

“What do you mean, I wasn’t consistent?!”
“Well, in the last scene they drove here in a car, and now they’re walking back home.”
“Are you serious?” *runs to look it up* “Aaaah! How could I have done that?”

(Fortunately, that one was a pretty easy fix, as all I had to…[Read more]

@ethryndal Thank you!  Yes, it’s basically all about timing now.  We want the kids to be able to come home as soon as possible, but have to finish all the extra paperwork first. 🙁

It’s so amazing to know all these prayers are with us!

@dragon-snapper Well, of course I get ideas and plan in my head for my books, but I’ve never really written more than a paragraph-long synopsis of my plans before starting to write.  And plans often change during the process of writing.

It worked really well for my kids series, but I think my time travel novel could have used a little more…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper And even though it’s really boring to write, you can’t let the readers know you’re bored! 😀

I’ve preferred typing to handwriting for a long time, but I also never have planned out or outlined any of my works before, and am just deciding that I need to do at least a little bit of that to make my western turn out well.  So while I…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 I think @catwing did something similar with her WIP, Firebird, so she might like to talk about it. 🙂

@dragon-snapper When I get to a place in my writing where I’m on the roll and can write several pages in a row I write very fast, but when I get to a “bridge” place in between interesting sections I sometimes will pout and leave the work entirely alone for a really long time.  Which practice is not at all conducive to completion of my stories!

I…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Actually, that’s a great idea since I have a huge problem with buckling down and focusing on one project. 😮 🙂

If I wasn’t working on the ministry website I would definitely take you up on that, though I would probably lose. 😀

@dragon-snapper And I guess it’s my place to ask: What way is that, exactly? 😀

@dragon-snapper Oh, that’s not what I meant. 😀  It’s just a joking excuse that we use when we get too distracted.  We always come on here with the intent and purpose of writing, but when we get distracted we’ve got to have a reasonable excuse. 🙂

Because like you said, getting distracted here is way too easy!

@dragon-snapper I’m just getting started updating my parents’ ministry website, and in between that (because I like working on multiple things at the same time) I’m working on my western.

We definitely get distracting here!  But I’ve come up with a solution to that question, which I shared with a couple of others and they liked it: This is…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Hi!  I’m here.

This may sound funny, but I’m wondering why you tagged Daeus?  I’ve never seen him on Writers’ Corner. 🙂  (To be fair, I’ve not been on KP for all that long, though.)

Are you working on your sci-fi novel again?

@alia Okay, let’s see… 😀

I completely understand about trauma issues with adopted kids, obviously, since we’ve adopted so many.  My parents run a ministry counseling adoptive parents, and have written over 40 books on parenting and adoption, so what I’m saying is mostly what I’ve heard them repeat over and over. (I hope I get it right! :)…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 No, you’re right.  We know several families with twenty or more kids. 🙂  It’s just some skeptical person in the government who was supposed to approve the paperwork as a formality decided that it’s impossible for a family to be “normal” or something with this many kids, so they put a hold-up on everything.

Thanks!

@dekreel I insist that disbeliefing someone is not morbid!  If they’re not real in the first place, how does it hurt to make them disappear from tangible sight?  I can only disbelief things that aren’t real, since disbeliefing is a factor of the imagination.

@supermonkey42 Well no, “sentient” droids aren’t real, but you don’t act like a droid. :…[Read more]

@dekreel *hides in shame* Haha, I was kind of hoping no one would notice. 🙂  I had a good reason to stay up late, though.  I wanted to discuss a problem with someone, and Seekjustice was the only one around.  If you want to know what the problem was, you can read a few posts from our discussion, starting from here. 🙂

@seekjustice Here’s my thesis! 😀

First of all, you said something about how Chessy’s and Sapphire’s relationship might be “interesting.”  This might be true if she was adopted at a later age, but really, if she’s grown up with Sapphire, she won’t ever consider her as anything other than a sister, and if she does, that might cause problems for…[Read more]
