@that_writer_girl_99 Ah, in that case I will join. For the moment. *stashes away notes about civil war* *opens up booklet about working together*

How about the INTJs? *comes out from the shadows where I’ve been following everyone’s plans with relish* Taking over the world is all well and good, but unless we’re included you may be sure rebellion will follow.

@GracieGirl *mimics others* Me too?

@dragon-snapper I kind of had this problem with my current WIP. It wasn’t that I’d another character taking over the story, I just couldn’t connect with the MC. It’s only in the last draft that I’ve really started connecting with the MC. Delving into a character’s backstory helps. And figuring out how they view life (as a war, as an adventure, as…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper frankly, I’m not quite sure what they do… It was just one of the older jokes that I think @daeus came up with and I remember the name if not the contest.

@dragon-snapper Oh, oh, oh! You have to mention butterflies wielding timesabers at some point!

@Aratrea The 19th won’t work, but the 21st, afternoon or evening would.

@dragon-snapper A villain’s minions who are great shots. Also a petition to include @Michael-stanton as the evil overlord. And possibly give Josiah a brother who contradicts him at every turn and is obsessed with hair-styles (all kinds on everybody). XD

@Kate-flournoy *coughs* Yes, that. XD

@northerner Yesss. *shakes head* I normally don’t do that…

@delightinlife Everyone else has pretty much covered it. I tend to force myself to write even when I don’t feel like it, that way by the time I do feel like it again I have something done. 😉

Another thing that keeps my mind fresh is working on a few projects at once. I generally have one main project, but I’ll be working on one or two others…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper This is hysterical! Just… just everything. The raspberries and ice cream. And Kate would so be the one to bring home baby dragons… XD And when Josiah came in with a beard and a frog I about died.

I have two favorite lines.

Kate smiled, “Aviur and Kai.”
Daeus’ façade melted into a frown. Was he mistaken, or did both of those…

@aratrea The 14th works the best for me, but I could probably swing the other dates too, if they are picked.

@princessfoo Yessss! All the time!

@daeus I…umm, may have filled it out too. Sorry. I’m not sure how to go back and edit my response. Also, is there anywhere you’ll be sharing the results of the survey?

@cloudy Welcome! (from a very ‘not active member of the community) I keep telling myself I’m going to find time to get back on here more, and then I forget… But it is a grand place! You’ll enjoy it. 😀

@graciegirl Yessss. Sometimes because they are ‘weird names’ and sometimes because I can’t remember… Is it Allan or Allen? Nathan or Nathen?

@aratrea Speaking of books and themes, have you read The Ball and the Cross by G. K. Chesterton? I started rereading it part way through this course and the theme…! Every single conversation and interaction all relate back to the theme and focusing question and experiments in living. I love the story and the philosophical arguments and all, but…[Read more]

What @audrey-caylin said. 😀 Incorporate all I’ve learned into my future novels.

I also want to study the books I read and movies I watch to practice figuring out themes and experiments in living. Basically, lots of practice on the writing end, lots of analyzing on the reading end. And occasionally rewatching a course video.

This seriously is…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Thank you. *hands you cheesecake*

Oh yes… and I ought to have mentioned, but I have a free story that prequels Shadows of the Hersweald if anyone is interested. 😉 You can find it here.
