@daeus, @kate-flournoy Yay! Now I know how to grow mushrooms. But there’s even an easier way. Let the weather do it. Sun + rain = mushroom. And big ones too. 🙂

@Daeus ah. That’s pretty neat. I’ll definitely store that info away. 😉

@Daeus ‘sterile’? Uh… how does one sterilize sawdust?

@Daeus I haven’t. Truth be told, though I love gardening, I don’t have the fascination with it it would take to keep me going. I help with our family garden, of course, but I’ve never actually gone out on a limb and tried growing something by myself. How does one grow mushrooms? Just… scatter their spores (is that the correct term? Mushrooms…[Read more]

Ha! @Daeus that’s hilarious. And that’s quite an idea… it would explain why I’m the only person in my family wildly crazy about mushrooms. 😉
Then again, how would one explain a change in taste? Because mushrooms used to be my deadliest enemy. 😛

You don’t like raw tomatoes??????? *gapes*
That’s terrible. You mustn’t ever have eaten real…[Read more]

@His-Instrument hahahaha TOTALLY.

You know you’re a writer when it drives you insane to read ‘strongness’ instead of ‘strength’, or ‘validness’ instead of ‘validity’.

You also know you’re a writer if you deliberately smack your hand with the handle of a paintbrush, then inspect the ensuing welt with great interest.

Aaaand you know you’re a…[Read more]

@belegteleri I followed you!

I have a blog, too at writingandblog.wordpress.com.

@Hope I think that would work. I really do. Because when you think about it, (I assume you’re talking about Song of the Sword here) since the Prince was down amongst the people as one of them, it makes sense that he would be considered one of them. If you don’t capitalize it, the sense of him becoming one of them is intensified.

@Hope hmmmm… the capitalization of His name always seems to give it more awe and reverence. Not that there’s anything worshipful in the form of a letter or that it is wrong to do one or the other, but visually, His is more impressive and impacting than his. So I guess it depends on your goal. Do you want that? Or for the sake of your story would…[Read more]

@winter-rose Congratulations!!! That’s a wonderful accomplishment. 🙂

@hannah-krynicki Oh, nice! Have fun on vacation. 🙂

I haven’t read Sign of Four before, but I’m thinking that Watson’s attraction to Mary is entwined with the main story plot somehow, like Sarah said. I also think it serves to contrast Watson’s character and Sherlock Holmes’s character. Watson is much more emotional and open about his emotions, whereas Holmes doesn’t have much emotion at all.…[Read more]

@Hope exactly. Have any of you ever just sat down on a whim and started writing in the most sarcastic voice you could manage? Just thrown caution to the winds and hammered out a poem or a story or just any random piece of writing for the fun of seeing how much you could exaggerate? I’ve done that. It’s incredibly easy, somehow. Easier than being…[Read more]

@Daeus competition always helps. 😉

@Daeus not tonight— other plans, but I am beginning to get back into a semblance of my regular schedule again, so I should be back on this topic frequently not too long from now. 😀

@C-C-Lane It’s great to meet you!
Awesome, I love LOTR, too! I’m reading it for the third time this summer. 🙂

@c-c-lane
Hello! And sorry I’m a little late. 🙂 You sound like an awesome person. I can’t wait to get to know you!!!!! 🙂 Welcome and have fun!

Hahaha! I knew someone would set me straight. 😀

And don’t worry. I wasn’t even considering stopping. I wouldn’t dare. 😛

@Daeus

Ugh… I feel you @overcomer. And I don’t even do much prep work. A very basic outline, nothing else. But especially with editing it seems like it’s much easier to decide what to edit than it is to actually sit down and do it. 😛

I shall be very, very glad when I’m done editing this book. For numerous reasons. Not the least of which is I’ll…[Read more]
