@WarrioroftheRealm hm… my favorite genre of music is probably traditional Celtic/Scottish/Nordic, though it’s really hard to find genuinely beautiful arrangements of traditional tunes.
And… I don’t have a favorite band. I just dig through stuff and find things I like the sound of. 😛

@Dragon-Snapper um… keep it to myself. 😛 Trying to explain awesome story ideas or plot twists to non writers just never really works. If it’s just too amazing to not tell anyone, I’ll tell @Emma-Flournoy because even though she’s not a writer herself she understands. 😉 I also write it down in my little pocket notebook. I have at least three…[Read more]

I love it @Anne-of-Lothlorien.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien Ah, okay. 🙂

@WarrioroftheRealm Got it.
And I agree hugely with you and @Mark-Kamibaya about repetition in songs!!

Have you heard the musical ‘group’ (not sure if that works, ’cause it’s mainly two people) Secret Garden? They’ve got some weird ones, but some of their’s are gorgeous. It’s a Norwegian composer and pianist (Rolf Loveland) and an Irish violinist…[Read more]

@Anne-of-Lothlorien You’re on and it’s not Monday!

And that’s a quite odd nighttime story. 😛

@Mark-Kamibaya Wow, that’s a lot of great thinking material. I like it. I’m pretty sure I get your drift…lemme see if I can give a coherent reply.

Yes, I have read Ecclesiastes, on my own and with the family and discussion. I understand what Solomon puts out there, and his thoughts on how fruitless life is. But somewhere in Ecclesiastes, he…[Read more]

Yes @Jess. I’m praying.

Oh, and @Daeus @Mark-Kamibaya is the foil character you’re talking of in CoF someone who was real? I know the basics of the real story but I can’t think of anyone who’d be the way I’m seeing the guy you’re talking about. Is it a real historical character?

@Mark-Kamibaya I like discussing deep questions. I tend to get frustrated when I don’t understand exactly what’s being said though, so thanks for bearing with me. 😉

With your first example, Eve, it doesn’t seem like that’s two true goods—on the one hand she can be happy with God, and on the another she can be like God…but with the latter,…[Read more]

@Jess For sure.

@emma-flournoy Late reply. Sorry.

I think Solomon was that way because of David. I don’t know of any biblical support for this, but the Bible does record instances where someone’s sin was so bad that their kids suffered because of it. I think Solomon suffered in that way. Not being heretical. That’s just my personal opinion.

From a more biblical…[Read more]

@daeus Eric was the bigger hero. But I think that the fact that they used the other guy’s POV more signifies something. Maybe because he’s a better (multi-dimensional) character?

@kate-flournoy Yeah, that’s all just hearsay though. I haven’t even completely watched either movies. So, yeah. At least you enjoyed them. As for the perspective on themes: just remember that most difficult choices are actually two goods. I’ve seen more movies that have choices of two goods rather than two evils. I think it’s because with two…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm Happy Thanksgiving to you too! A pet peeve on songwriting crossed my mind a couple days ago. Songs recently have been just so boring. I attribute that to the second and/or third verses. They don’t build on the foundation of the first verse. Because (even though a song may or may not be a story) it has to progress forward in the…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya

(isn’t the theme a bit like Frozen’s? Like the theme of “Who needs guys?”)

That is hilarious. I have seen both Maleficent and Frozen, and that take on either theme did not even remotely cross my mind. I guess you could mayyyyybe see that with Maleficent, but the biggest takeaway I got from Maleficent’s theme was ‘there are other l…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Aah. I understand that. It is quite amazing when films stay true to the works they adapted from. Henry V is actually what I’m learning right now, and I can see a lot of potential for great drama and action. Shakespeare did seem to specialize in amazing characters (besides verbose dialogue) so it’s not surprising that that is Henry V…[Read more]

Oh great @Bluejay! God’s certainly good. 🙂

@kate-flournoy Yes He is. *nods emphatically*

That’s great Tessa. God of the little things as well, isn’t He? 😀
