Elizabeth replied to the topic How much conflict is enough? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 9 years, 4 months ago
Well, I hesitate to give advice on anything of this sort–someone can always make it sound better–but here goes: Don’t make it easy.
Conflict is good. Conflict propels people forward, generates realistic reactions that create character and give insight into character personality.
Don’t make it easy. Life happens. People are rude. Well-meaning…[Read more] -

I know. Kate usually helps me work through these things, but she isn’t on right now, so I sit. And sit. And think. @winter-rose

It’s my own fault, really. I’ve focused so much on introducing the characters that I’ve forgotten to figure out where I want the plot to go. @winter-rose
@kate-flournoy Are you on?

Hello! How’re things on your end? @winter-rose
Ugh. I take back what I said earlier. I’m just brainstorming at the moment. A little stuck, actually.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Love Triangles— what the Classical Authors knew that we don't. in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
@ETHRYNDAL remember I wailed on this thread that Thorin didn’t have the Arkenstone with him in the funeral-ish scene? On page 3. But we finished watching BotFA a little bit ago, and HE DID HAVE IT! It was on him; he was sort of holding it. Peter Jackson, I apologize for yelling about that. I was wrong. It was THERE INDEED! This makes me so…[Read more]

No success. I’ll try it in two parts.
@Winter-Rose Aw, thanks. 😀 I am a detail oriented person, so that’s probably the difference. (Likely something in the difference between a Perceiver and a Judger. I’m a most definite J. 😉 )

@Daeus That is amazingly perfect. Did you color it?
You should put that as the header for Josiah’s video series or something…opening picture in the video, something. 😛 -

@anne-of-lothlorien Mmm…you’re right. But I couldn’t steal ice cream from you. I’m just too nice of a dragon for that. 😛 Besides, my melting things is solely confined to chairs. I’m afraid that I’m not as scary as dragon’s should be. *shuffles off to find some ice cream and to write the last few parts of the sequel.* Just 2 or 3 left! Rejoice everyone!

@Emma-Flournoy AAAAAHHHHH! I KNOW!!! *accidentally runs into you mid spin and we both go tumbling to the floor* I keep fluctuating between “THIS IS SO NEAT!” and “Whoa. Is this real?” I nearly choked when I read it. *GLITTER* *MORE GLITTER* *DROWNS THE ROOM IN GLITTER* Woot!
*tries her best not to look sappy* Aww, you’re so sweet. 🙂
*sits up happily in sea of glitter* Yeah, that’s what I felt like when I saw mine. 😀
DAH, I’m so glad you got on KP and all the STUFFS SARAH. *flails* What I might have missed. God is too amazing for my tiny brain to comprehend.
*dumps more glitter on your head and jumps in with you* WE CAN BE SUPERHEROES TOGETHER!!! Now I just need to hunt down whoever said it and bestow Elven blessings upon them. Because honestly, that was so nice of them. I can’t get over it. I posted an activity comment about it, but really, who’s going to answer that? (And for some reason, whenever I…[Read more]
You know you’re not being at all subtle, child.
*sigh* Because it would be dishonest otherwise…I’ll tell you. I answered your comment, at any rate. 😛 And I just went hunting for what I said, in my posting history, and it wasn’t there either. So…I’ll try to remember what I said, how I said it then. Here’s basically how I answered your…[Read more]

Aww, it was you? Awww… *melts into dumb grinning* That’s so sweet! I kind of thought maybe, but when you posted that message, it DID deflect suspicion. So you can continue to cackle gleefully. I almost feel bad about blowing your cover now…

@Ethryndal I’m sorry. 😀 I thought you were hinting there that I’d done it—hinting ever so subtly. I beg your pardon.
Naw, it’s just fine. *grins dumbly with you* Anyway, if you suspected but didn’t tell me so, that would’ve been worse; worse than me knowing straight out you thought it was me. I appreciate frankness. XD I do feel quite proud…[Read more]
@Emma-Flournoy OH. Now I get it. Sorry, I had a brain dead moment. It happens to me occasionally.
Yeah, them poor athiests. They just need to read God’s Smuggler. *launches into insane cackling and rubbing of hands* That ought to fix ’em. 😀
@Ethryndal Eh, happens to everyone. 😀
Them POOR little dears. (Sobbin’ buckets of tears.)
Great, now I’m going to be humming Sobbin’ Women the rest of the day.
@Ethryndal *careless shrug* It happens. 😀
