That’s amazing. I’m so glad it went well! @kate-flournoy

You sing? @emma-flournoy plays violin? You have an older sister named Elizabeth? Cool, cool, and cool. (I’ve always wanted to play violin…)

Okay, well, I think it was Daeus who brought up the question/idea of where the Elementals’ powers come from, and I realized that I hadn’t actually thought of that, so here’s what I came up with.
This kept me awake last night. For a loooong time.

The Elementals’ powers are derived from a series of DNA-enhancing experiments that were conducted a…[Read more]

G’night!

I’ll be around for awhile longer… @kate-flournoy @f5a8c3e92

@That_Writer_Girl_99 fire away. 😀

If you remember a while back, I requested prayer for the Easter offertory I and my sisters were going to play/sing for our church. I don’t remember who all responded (@Daeus @Ethryndal @ClaireC possibly?) but I just wanted to let you know that everything went off really well. I was incredibly nervous but it didn’t affect my voice at all, which is…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 I’m signing out now. I wrote 374 words, and was distracted, but either way, thanks for writing for the time being!

Writing was my first love. Truthfully. It’s always been my favorite subject, always been my favorite hobby…just…always. Cliche as that sounds.

@kate-flournoy I’ve got another idea to throw at you, are you ready?

@kate-flournoy

@f5a8c3e92 That’s a good idea, but where’s the conflict in that? What’s the point of a prison where everyone can leave whenever they want–when the Elementals who do leave will be killed instantly? That truly is the world they live in.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 *grins* Well, you’re stuck with us now. 😀 We solemnly pledge to help you with all your problems… whether you want that or not.
*goes off cackling*
*pops her head back in momentarily* 12+ years… wowsers. I’ve been seriously writing for four years and that seemed like forever… guess not.
Kudos for sticking to it so long…[Read more]

Uh, yes. I’m still struggling to digest everything that’s been said on here…

It’s incredible. Honestly. You guys have no idea how much this means to me. After 12+ years of writing by myself, I actually have someone else giving me ideas and telling me what I could do differently… @kate-flournoy

@That_Writer_Girl_99 ooooohhhhhh boyyyyyy… *grins monstrously**chuckles evilly* You have no idea what you just set in motion. I just took a whole long beautiful course that this wonderful place of Kingdom Pen put together on mastering theme and you ask me for help—!!! YESSSSSS!! Bliss!!! *closes eyes**sighs happily*

Tell you what. Give me…[Read more]

I’m…planning, or…er…thinking. *sits down, head spinning* I’ve got so much to think about. I’ve been in two different places all day–entertaining family in the real world, and exploring my story-world in my head…

I’m sure my family is ready to kill me. “Elizabeth, will you please stop staring into space and talk to your cousin?”

@dragon-snapper

@kate-flournoy The concept of themes is actually quite new to me, so any advice you have for me is welcome.

That’s an awesome description of Kara. If I could draw, I probably would have tried to sketch out her features, but I can’t…unfortunately.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like the theme you liked the best, intelligence vs.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Oddly enough, I didn’t realize that any of the issues you listed above could be considered incorrect–thanks for pointing those out!

But as for my critical side. If you feel as if I am melting your work, please tell me. I don’t want to be too mean.

Oh, please. One of the reasons I joined KP was so I could eventually get c…[Read more]

@f5a8c3e92 yes, much better. They pretty much already caught everything that needed help, I think.
Weaving the dream thing in was a great idea. Made it a lot more intriguing and set up the premise quite nicely. 😉

@f5a8c3e92 But that’s just it–the Elementals know they’re freaks, but the are scared of their powers. They’re being forced to think that the prison is the best thing for them–that they would be worse off outside as opposed to the safety of the prison walls.

I know you can’t see it in this little snippet, but Kara doesn’t want to leave. Before…[Read more]

@jenali @daeus @that_writer_girl_99 @northerner @anyone-else I’m probably going to be writing.

@that_writer_girl_99 And even after all that, I forgot to tag you. 😛

I’m not sure what others said, but this is my review.
I really love this! The whole thing, especially the plot. The idea is great, and I cannot wait to see what happens next. But as for my critical side. If you feel as if I am melting your work, please tell me. I don’t want to be too mean. 😀

This is the life I wish I had. This is the normal…
