Sci-Fi Tips Part 4

The most well-known genre of science fiction, thanks to Star Wars, is probably the space opera.

The space opera is primarily characterized by adventure and space travel. Space battles. Belligerent aliens. Futuristic gadgets. These are just a few of the elements of the space opera.

Parallels can be drawn between space operas…[Read more]

@LifeOfKatie *grins* I look forward to seeing you around. 😉

Wait. Are you for real? We’re a stereotype? There’s nothing stereotypical about writing fiction…

@That_Writer_Girl_99 *grins* Chill. I’m totally teasing. It’s just that the stereotypical career choice of an INFP, according to popular consensus in the MBTI community, is writing fiction. That, or poetry. Which I love. 😉 SO I guess that makes…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm This is really cliched to say, but just freewrite. Sit down at a laptop or use longhand, and begin writing your heart out. What are you trying to say? Who are you trying to say it to? How does the Bible tie into this? What’s God’s view on this? What are different perspectives on this topic?

For me, if I force myself to write…[Read more]

Er, yeah, I think I get what you’re trying to say. @jane-maree

Wow. That sounds…uh. Sorry, a what now? @jane-maree Forgive my little American self for not having a clue what that is. 😉

Oh, and I think that @writefury likes Tintin???

@emily-d I just listened to Fishers of Men! It was a great song. Actually, I think I’ll add it to my running playlist. 😛
@perfectfifths Ohh…I like birds.

@LifeOfKatie heyyyyyy!! Welcome! I also had no idea you wrote, and which is just unpardonable of me as a six year friend, isn’t it? 😛 Glad to see you on KP. 😉 Lots of encouragement and stuff here.

@lifeofkatie 7 years! Nice! I’ve only been playing for 3ish, but I love it so much. I’ve been playing with my teen band for church, and just started picking up lessons again.
Fingerstyle is so beautiful. It’s so fun to play it. Do you read tablature or do you read music for the guitar? I especially enjoy just messing around on the guitar and…[Read more]

What. @jane-maree That’s so cool!

Where ya been, Jane? Haven’t seen you in awhile.

@jess-penrose Yes. Virtual chairs and phones. They’re even more valuable than the real ones. 😛
Oh dear…you lost me at the first question.
Who’s Glaurung, may I ask?

It’s cool that you taught yourself elvish. I can write in ancient dwarvish.

so I’m living a cliche I guess

*flashback to the Legend of King Daeus.

Why was it that there was always some sort of hidden force that held people’s hands back from knocking? Her fist was stuck midair, and she thought back to every book she had read before. Great. Now she was living a cliché.

@kate-flournoy

Yes for INFPs!

Wait. Are you for real? We’re a stereotype? There’s nothing stereotypical about writing fiction… @kate-flournoy

@Jess-Penrose DID SOMEONE SAY MBTI. 😮 XD
AHEM. Yes. Well… in summary, I love Myers Briggs because I think people are downright fascinating and I love the insight it gives you into people’s minds. I love it just for that, but it’s also really helpful with characterization if you understand it properly. And hey! I’m an INFP as well. *grins*…[Read more]

I haven’t written a song in a few years, but there’s a few things I can tell you.

First–don’t rush it. Maybe you’re one of those people that can just sit down with an idea and write it out, but maybe not. Sit back, pray, and focus on what draws you to the subject on hand.

That brings me to my next point. If it’s a Christian song, which it…[Read more]

Aaaaand I’m back. Took a short nap. @dragon-snapper @kate-flournoy @graciegirl

@lifeofkatie Yay! I play guitar too! I also play piano and the celtic whistle. And the 12 string guitar. How long have you been playing guitar, and what songs are your favorite to play.

@that_writer_girl_99 I’m taking a break for now. I added 1292 words to LKD. Almost there. I’m actually at the climax now.

@that_writer_girl_99 Now I have guilt. 😛 JK Yeah well…I figured I’d been taking long enough.
