@jess @dragon-snapper Hey! Wait for me. I’m with you till nine.

@emma-flournoy The really amazing part is how well they handled Eric’s foil. Watch it.

@rolena-hatfield Ah. Unfortunately, I don’t know about that. 🙁

Thanks, Jackson. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday.

@emma-flournoy I have to agree with you. Even though I do like BTM, would recommend it, and would watch it again, it’s certainly not a true classic.

@Mark-Kamibaya At the same time, I read some of those critics when the movie came out, and they are certainly exaggerating. Yes, you’ll find stuff to critique all over the place, but I’d still…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I’m actually going to stop now. I’d normally keep going, but when I went to write, I realized it had been so long since I had touched this book, that I needed to review the characters before I kept writing. Now I think I understand them again, but with only ten minutes left, I don’t feel like just hacking out a couple sentences.

@dragon-snapper. Ah, goody. Just saw this.

Hey folks, I have a life again. Anyone want to write till nine? @kate-flournoy @dragon-snapper @anyone-else

@rolena-hatfield I’m no expert in jousting, but I do think flails were sometimes used in jousts. The advantage of a flail is that it can whip around an opponent’s shield, but they are hard to wield and bad for defense. Anything specific you wanted to know?

@Warrioroftherealm I’ve written one set of lyrics before. As far as the actually poetic style, lyrics aren’t really very different from most other forms of poetry. I don’t believe lyrics need to have meter, but I may be wrong. It’s also not necessary to have the exact same number of syllables in every line, but the difference shouldn’t be more…[Read more]

Well, lord of the flies is a good example of a story about kids.

I was about to say I’ve never written a kid, but I guess I’ve actually written two. Their POV wasn’t very strong in those scenes though.

If I were to do a deep POV child character, however, I would start by looking back at how I thought when I was younger. If you don’t remember…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Yep. That Mr. Awesome. I don’t really know him very well, but I’ve been on one of his tours.

Hey everybody,

I know some folks that run this awesome Christian history tour business. It’s a company called Landmark Events.

Anyways, the two guys that run it just got fined by the state/national/whatever it was park because they were teaching Christian history on public grounds. Of course, it was totally in their right to do so and this is a…[Read more]

What? That’s crazy, Kate. Can’t believe it.

@kate-flournoy I guess that’s true. The Hans scene still works though, because the whole thing was how much compassion Ben felt for him, but he still killed him anyways. I guess that’s how I should have phrased my point. Make the villains feel their consciences very strongly and then go out and deny them.

I agree with Hope. Good villains aren’t just villains with lots of soft spots, humor, tough pasts, or good intentions. Good villains have to be absolutely evil. Using my good buddy Kylo Ren again, he killed the jedi, killed his dad, was fine with the first order completely obliterating ten planets and everyone on them, had fits of rage, and tried…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien I tend to write the more human, complex villains and I’m moving even more in that direction.

Ha! That’s awesome!
