Daeus

Wait, wait, wait. @daeus. It took you a month to read LotR? I read it in two days?! I am faster than I thought….

@aislinn-mollisong Wow. Can I read your story when it’s finished?? Please??? It sounds awesome. I also have a tendency to get an idea, but then have a fuzzy area in the middle. I… would like to be very wise and give advice, but I need help, too. I shall call in -erm, tag- the cavalry. @daeus @aratrea @kate-flournoy @hope @dragon-snapper @that_wri…[Read more]

I live in Florida too, in Tampa. If y’all could pray for the safety of my family and those who will be and have been impacted by this hurricane, I’d be grateful. @shannon @daeus @emma-flournoy @graciegirl

I’m on for a bit. Writing this time.

@daeus I wish I could join you, but sadly, I have lots and lots of school work.

@daeus Sometimes, I’m really not sure what to do with you…
@kate-flournoy If I try to imagine myself as an introvert, I don’t like it either. XD
@graciegirl Ooh, that’s a good idea. I might use that along with @seekjustice ‘s idea of another language.
Notes to self: *do not steal the use of the word Kreylar, even purposefully…[Read more]

@daeus @emily @shannon @catwing @epicaddie2 @bethanysinkyroses I’m on, either writing or editing or…noting…? Not sure what yet…

Anyway, here’s me, writing.

@ryanna As @daeus said, you described a setting, not a plot. That said, that doesn’t seem to be a particularly cliche setting to me. Sure, you aren’t the first person to strand people on an island, or have intelligent animals, but adding unique details (like the fact that they live in groups of two or three,) can easily set the story apart.

… @daeus
What are you referring to?

Hello Ryanna!

It’s great that you’ve planned out quite a bit of your story! Just a thought I have that I’ve seen mentioned on here, is to flip the cliche. Figure out what is expected to happen (in a certain situation, or in the plot in general) and then do the opposite.

Here is an article that Kingdom’s Pen wrote about ways to bend cliches…[Read more]

@catwing @daeus @shannon @epicaddie2 @jessi-rae I’m either writing, editing or evilly plotting. One of those three. Join me, and we can rule the…ah…solar system.

@kate-flournoy @daeus
Thank you so much for your excellent thoughts! I agree that God is definitely powerful enough to save lives even when we think our honesty might ruin everything.
The only thing that’s still tripping me up is the difference between lying and deception. Even outside the context of my own story, this question perplexes me. I…[Read more]

@his-instrument *blink* Wow, excellent question… I had to think about this one…

However, my answer is not going to be as theological or philosophical as @daeus and @kate-flournoy 😛

So, it wasn’t your post that made me think about this, but rather, the title. Your word alias, made me think about all the alias’ in the world right now. Pen…[Read more]

@Allison-Grace *sniffs* They already said it all.
I’ll just second what @Daeus said; you can have as many themes as you think will work, so long as they’re all related and complement each other. For instance, if your primary theme is honesty, your supporting themes could be telling the truth in love and/or telling the truth even when it’s ugly.…[Read more]

@mariposa Aha….I think that I’ll give it to him when it’s done being edited then. *glances over work*
Oh dear. Dinosaur will not read this thing. XD

Hey guys, let’s remember to keep Texas and the victims and refugees of Harvey in our prayers. They need it more than ever.
