Glad you got this resolved @daeus 🙂 I am looking forward to reading your completed manuscript 😉

The Southern California girl cries silently in the corner, I wish I could go and see all of your beautiful faces. Why do you all have to live so far away???

Christine Eaton posted an update 8 years, 4 months ago
I think one of my favorite times of day are those rare evenings when I am home alone. I can read, write, sing as loud as I want, or just study in silence with Andrew Peterson or the Gray Havens playing in the background. It is moments like these that humble me. I will never cease to be thankful for them.

Christine Eaton replied to the topic Catching Trout in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
@dragon-snapper, I’m no expert when it comes to first sentences, but I know a good one when I see it. It’s a good thing the theme of the month for January is exactly this topic. I have a good feeling my fellow writing team members will have some articles just for this.
My favorite first sentence so far has to be from The Rise and Fall of Mount…[Read more]

Christine Eaton replied to the topic Help? Does this sound like a good idea? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 4 months ago
@howlingwolf I concur with what @kate-flournoy said. I really do think this has potential.
Good luck with it 🙂 -

@howlingwolf Hello, I don’t believe we have met before, I’m Christine, but you can call me Christi. I am one of the writing team interns here at KP. 🙂
Now, this is an interesting idea you have here, and it could be a cool premise, but it would need a lot of work as far as fleshing out the plot, characters, etc. It really depends on what your…[Read more]

Christine Eaton replied to the topic A Fun Way to Get to Know Your Characters in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
@emma-flournoy, Yeah, it’s pretty strange, I’m definitely not ISTJ. But aside from my introvertedness, I am pretty much fully ESTJ 🙂 (especially when I am doing something I really enjoy.)
@i-j-anderson, you probably would enjoy this conversation. 😉

Christine Eaton replied to the topic A Fun Way to Get to Know Your Characters in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
I should do this for my characters, sounds like fun. I am an ESTJ myself, though I am actually introverted, meaning I get my energy from alone time. Other than that I am pretty much fully ESTJ. 🙂

Christine Eaton replied to the topic Short Story Brainstorms in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
@rolena-hatfield @kate-flournoy, I was actually thinking of starting based on a solid theme and try to get the ball rolling from there. 🙂 Great thoughts!
@zoe-wingfeather, I’ll have to look into some dialogue prompts. They are fun to read. 😉

Christine Eaton started the topic Short Story Brainstorms in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
Hey all!
So I’ve been thinking about writing a short story lately. But, I’m not sure where to start. (Well, actually my Pinterest contains a bunch of different images of characters so that’s one way) But what I want to know is, how do many of you brainstorm short stories? Any special process? I want to hear everything, so don’t be shy and spill…[Read more]

Christine Eaton replied to the topic Quick Survey in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 4 months ago
@daeus, I’m a sucker for audio dramas and audiobooks (As long as it is read well) so I would definitely go that route. Also with audiobooks, people like my brother who have bad dyslexia can enjoy the story too.

Christine Eaton replied to the topic Wingfeather Saga in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
Okay, so I keep sneaking back in, but I have something else to add. Are you two familiar with Peterson’s recent Kickstarter? If not, you will be mighty happy as the Wingfeather Animated Tales are coming smoothly underway, seriously, the poster is awesome.

Christine Eaton replied to the topic Wingfeather Saga in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
Also, may I just say that Andrew Peterson’s music is better than Wingfeather, go ahead, disagree, but it’s just my thought.

*quietly sneaks in* I love these books, I actually wrote a book review on them, it’s around here somewhere on the website, if you haven’t checked it out, please do. *now sneaks away without reading anything else because I haven’t finished the series and don’t want to read spoilers.*

@emma-flournoy, @I-J-Anderson probably doesn’t even have to read Les Mis because I talk to her about it so much 😉 But you should read it, Jane, you really should!
All I know is that being in the play has changed some of my view of Les Mis, for one, rehearsals have turned the thing into a comedy. For example, last night, my friend Damian…[Read more]

@i-j-anderson, YAY! YOU’RE HERE!!! I’ve been waiting for you to pop up on this forum. How can you possibly think that I would not like you to call me one of your best friends, you’re crazy girl. Anyway, I’m gonna brag on Joy a little bit here, when she says her hobby is art, she means it, I’ll have to post a few of her pictures against her will…[Read more]

Also @daeus, there’s an old post floating around that Reagan wrote called Should you include Cussing in your story? I encourage you to go read it. I remember reading it when it first came out and it has stuck with me since.

Sounds like a fun evening. (When I’m home alone, that means I can play my violin as long and loud as I want. 😀 )
Definitely something to be thankful for.
@emma-flournoy.
Last night was my cast party for Les Miserables and they finally announced the next show! Pray for me as I have auditions for Beauty and the Beast on Monday! *runs off to look up new monologues*
Anyway, I’d thought you’d like to know 🙂
Wheee-haw!!! I’ll be praying, and tell me who you get! So exciting.
Is this some kind of famous play or musical, or is it something this college or whatever put together specifically?
I’ll keep you updated for sure! I’m so excited. It’s going to be put on with the same group I did Les Miserables with, Alethia Christian Theater, and it consists of high school and college students. It’s not the Disney version or the musical and I think they are going full Hans Christian Anderson Version. The cool thing is the directors for this…[Read more]
Wow! That’s all so cool. 😀
*hyperventilates* So who’d you get? BELLE??
@Christi-Eaton
@emma-flournoy
I’M STILL WAITING FOR THE FREAKING CAST LIST!!!! AHHHHH!!! It’s “supposed” to come out today, (but it never comes the day they say :/ ) I probably won’t get Belle though, there are a lot of girls with way more talent than I who could play her. I did a cold read for a singing, drunk bandit and in all honesty, I would be perfectly…[Read more]
But I was told I totally killed when I did my audition monologue, and that was really encouraging to hear. Especially since I wrote it and it’s nice to hear when they like both what you wrote and your acting. (my monologue gave me a lot of feelings actually because I wrote it as one of my characters)
I’ll let you know who I get when I find the…[Read more]
@emma-flournoy in case you are interested this is what I wrote and performed. One time I was practicing it and got so much into Beck’s head that I actually started shaking. I had to quit because I got so into it. Beck is probably one of my favorite character’s I’ve ever written (she’s based off of myself in a lot of ways) Anyway, here it is.…[Read more]
Oh my, apologies. 😀 I guess they wouldn’t let you know what you get the same day you auditioned, now would they. 😛
A singing drunk bandit…how LOVELY. 😛 A female bandit?
But yeah…I can see how that’d be fun.
@Christi-Eaton That’s awesome!! I can imagine people were impressed.
When you audition then, you do an act of your own choosing, AND you try one of their characters?
Whew, I’d have liked to see you do that. 😀
@emma-flournoy
Yeah, it was a pretty intense monologue.
And yes, we started with a basic audition of a one-minute monologue, and then afterwards we have call back where we are grouped with other actors to just cold read from the script.
Cool.
