@emily Pbth I don’t know, I’m terrible at movies (except Pixar)! (and a bit of Studio Ghibli) (well, and other various animated family movies lol)

Princess Bride…?

@perfectfifths YES!! Good guess! *high five*

@delightinlife  @waterlily  It is NOT Tom Sawyer! I’ll give you a hint: It’s a fairly old movie

@dekreel

I actually don’t know for certain if that’s where your quote came from. I just know that Tom Sawyer has a Sid in it.  🙂

@emily

The Sound of Music!

(am I allowed to guess two quotes?)

@dekreel

Tom Sawyer!

I’m reading that book for the first time now. 🙂

@0-0enyali0-0 Did I?? Oh, well, thank you! And you’re welcome! 😉

@perfectfifths  @dragon-snapper

Ok, this one is a lot easier:

“That’s right, I’m talking to you, Sid!”

@0-0enyali0-0  Oooh! That’s a good question! Others might have better answers than me, but let me try…

So it sounds to me like you’re describing every detail of what’s going on in the battle by itself. That tends to sound like a school lecture if you describe a dramatic scene from the outside without looking at how the characters are feeling…[Read more]

@daeus Exelsior Writing Academy has a nice ring to it, for what it’s worth. 🙂

Hmmm… Kingdom Writing Academy? That goes along with the theme of the website. However, if it’s just going to be on this website, that would be repetition. Overall I like “Excelsior.”

Never heard that name before! Maybe you could have a motto or tagline that te…[Read more]

@Daeus I like that… not as much as Excelsior though.

Ugh. Decisions decisions.

You know what? I’m going to just throw caution to the winds and say go with Excelsior. I can’t think of anything I like better or even as well as. If you can think of a tagline of sorts to go with it though, so it’s more clear what it means and what it’s for, that…[Read more]

@daeus If you’re going to do Write Better Academy, then you have to do ‘Write More Better Academy.’ That’ll sell people, won’t it? 😉

@perfectfifths
XD Yes. What’s your quote?

@joy I’d say to go with the first one, mainly because I’ve heard of a lot of literature where the king has to ‘go on the run’. The first one, to me, sounds more original, and interesting. 😀

@daeus

And he comes to us for suggestions of names?

Yeah. I have no idea. You’d think a former fantasy writer would have a dictionary replete with such names, but I’ve never had a strong suit for that.

Only things I can think of are:
1) Lamb Technique School… [another loki facepalm please]
2) Writing School of Excellence
3) Lamb…[Read more]

@Alia hmmm… interesting. Okay. Thank you for pointing that out; I’ll have to look at it again.

@Daeus oooh, I really like the idea behind Excelsior, but most people are probably just going to go… ‘huh? Sounds like some weird Latin elitist club or something… *yawns**scrolls past*’

So… maybe something slightly less high and lofty and a little more down-to-earth. (Can’t believe I just said that.) I can’t think of anything right off the…[Read more]
