The fledgling Artist replied to the topic Short Story for my Novel in the forum Short Story Critiques 8 years, 7 months ago
I really liked it! The only thing I want to point out is that in this sentence
“From past “research”, Cassandra knew that there were always two night-guards standing by the single-person door that lead to the woods, along with at least six guards at all times watching the main gate into the castle”Maybe the word you want is …[Read more]

Rochellaine replied to the topic Questions about Motifs and Archetypes in the forum Plotting 8 years, 7 months ago
@dekreel I think what the article said was that a symbol is something that is seen only a few times as an overreaching message, and a motif is something that is interwoven with the whole story. In my mind I likened the motif to a knight’s coat of arms, which would be seen on everything, (shields, clothes, furniture, flags,) and the symbol to the…[Read more]

@dekreel Yeah, I guess I could do that, but I still think grammar wouldn’t be considered important enough, since you can probably google a lot of it. Usually KP likes to publish more general things that are just ideas. Daeus did do an article on sword fighting once, but even that is more complicated than a little grammar.

@rochellaine Yyyyesssss… But they’re both technically symbolic objects that represent something. How does one tell the difference?

@rochellaine You could do a smaller thing for the Keeper’s Corner if you didn’t want to do a full-size article 🙂

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writer's Corner #13 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@clairec Okay, I might try writing the article, then. But I don’t think the people here at KP would think it important enough to publish if I just did a grammar lesson on “thees and thous” so I think I could write it as “how to use slanguage in your writing” and do a small section on old English. What do you think? (And I would definitely ha…[Read more]

@princessfoo It was Patty Bride from the Carolyn Wells Patty Fairfield series. The Patty series is one of my absolute favorite book series. 🙂 If you’re interested in reading the series you can get them free or for a couple of dollars on Kindle, or find most of them online at gutenberg.org and Google Books, because they’re now in the public domain.

@clairec I would say the biggest thing for both you and your friend would be to stay in prayer with God throughout the entire process. By spending time with him, you open yourself up to hear his plans, and through that, He can speak. Christian writers who are connected to God are a powerful tool, so remember to pray and read his word. After that,…[Read more]

Snapper replied to the topic Kingdom Pen Captions in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@daeus Sort of. I basically took all of your advice and binge-fixed my book. XD So although I didn’t rewrite it, it has drastically improved.
*nods elvishly* I am forever in your debt.

Snapper replied to the topic New Blog in the forum Non-Fiction 8 years, 7 months ago
@clairec I’m not sure what type of advice you’re looking for, so I’m going to dump it here. 😛
If you can make a way for people to follow you, do so. That will help so that people come back to your blog. And make the follow button easy to find. I doesn’t like it when I can’t find the follow button on blogs. Dragon Snapper no like. 😛

@gh24682468999 Haha! It looks pretty scary at first, but the analyzation you have in your signature helped me memorize it pretty quickly. 😀

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writer's Corner #13 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@dekreel No worries. 🙂 My family uses the KJV, so I’ve been immersed in correct “thee and thou” grammar for years. A lot of people use it as jokes, to make it sound more medieval or something, but an incorrect “thee” sentence is to me the same as “her and me could have went with they to the game if they’re mom might let them.” 😀
You said “I…[Read more]

@rochellaine I actually had no idea that you were talking about “thees and thous…”
HAHAHA! Well tell your brother that I appreciate it. X’D I was watching it on a TV channel, so I really had no choice whether I was getting a good one or not. But I’ll take note! XD

@princessfoo That’s one of the absolute worst things for me: when there’s this huge fight and if they had just let each other explain, there would be nothing wrong. I actually saw another Hallmark movie where the same thing happened. So far I’ve read one book where they did it right. When the guy was out of town and got an accidental let…[Read more]

@dekreel Oooh, that’s what I meant when I told someone here about using “thees and thous” ungrammatically. *cringes* please tell me that was a joke! 😀
Oh, cool! Glad you liked it. I actually haven’t seen that one, but I asked my brother about it and he said it’s not very good, so if you liked it you should definitely enjoy the better ep…[Read more]

I definitely will, but it might be a while before I get around to reading it! I know, all the weird heels and wigs and stuff, urgh!
I prefer reading to audiobooks, but I don’t really like ebooks, and I only read them if I absolutely have to. I spend so much time on the computer looking at screen for my writing that I like to give my…[Read more]

Ah yes, I’ve done that. I beta read one really good fantasy and I immediately wanted to a) curl up and cry (my favourite character died, of course), or b) write something like it and then cry because I never could.
I’ve only just started @dragon-snapper ‘s book (oops). But I’m liking it so far!

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writer's Corner #13 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@seekjustice Cool! Tell me if you like it. At first I didn’t like part of it because she had the guy dress up in ruffles and face paint – and then I realized that she was just being realistic, because that’s how guys dressed in society back then. Boy am I glad I didn’t live in that period!
Yes, I’ve listened to one full Librivox book. 🙂 It wa…[Read more]
