@Emma-Flournoy eeeep!!! That wasn’t supposed to come out yet. 😛
@Anne-of-Lothlorien well, a writing blog. Not so much ‘how-to’ as it will be… I don’t know, encouraging? Inspirational, I guess you could say. And a little bit of everything that the more technical sights don’t talk about— psychology, personality, the philosophy of storytelling…[Read more]

Yup. 😀

@Daeus exactly.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien author— Christopher Paolini. He wrote the Inheritance Cycle; the one we’re debating here. 😉

@Anne-of-Lothlorien you mean @Ivy-Rose? *grins*
Sounds awesome.

Hello and welcome to…the awesomest, craziest, bestistest place on the internet! So, down to business (you are about to be bombarded with questions in 5…4…3…2…1…0!) What are your favorite books? What is your favorite genre of literature? What do you like to draw/paint (I love painting and drawing, too!)?…[Read more]

@perfectfifths
Yes, there is a contest to see who can say “bestistest place on the internet” first. 😛 😉

@nataliemarie
Hello and welcome to awesomest, craziest place on the internet! Glad to have you here. 😉 I write some poetry, too! You should submit some of your poetry to be published on KP (only if you WANT to, of course). 😀 By the way, what are your favorite books (this is one of the essential life questions that we all must come to terms with)?

@Sarah-H Ok, good stuff here. I guess I mostly agree. We could use some good ‘ole book burnings and all. We shouldn’t think ourselves impervious, yes.

I guess the disagreement arises because it sounds like you are saying we should avoid all darkness whatsoever. I’m not sure that’s exactly what you meant, but if that’s so, I find it problematic.…[Read more]

@Sarah-H I appreciate your concern and the thought you put into this, and I have to say I agree for the most part. However, once again I believe you are assigning Satan more power than he actually has.
Believe me, I am not ignorant of the presence of evil in literature. I don’t read blindly or blindly accept the worldview of anyone if I see that…[Read more]

Amen to that @sarah-h

@I-J-Anderson Irish? Oh wow, thanks. *grins* It’s French— Huguenot origin.

Yessssss! People— I love people. I’m not as good at painting them as I’d like to be; still life seems to be easier for some reason, but I love working with people because no two are alike and there’s such room for expression and personality. I love it.

Don’t worry IJ I’ll show you the ropes 🙂

@PerfectFifths good question. The difference between third person and deep third person is that deep third person actually delves into the thoughts of the characters, not just stays on the surface and monitors their actions.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien not me. I mean, I may have done it subconsciously in a few diary entries, but that’s about it. (My diary is a mess of gargantuan proportions from a literary standpoint. Don’t ask). 😛

@i-j-anderson, YAY! YOU’RE HERE!!! I’ve been waiting for you to pop up on this forum. How can you possibly think that I would not like you to call me one of your best friends, you’re crazy girl. Anyway, I’m gonna brag on Joy a little bit here, when she says her hobby is art, she means it, I’ll have to post a few of her pictures against her will…[Read more]

Deep third person. I write sprawling epics with gazillions of characters, and deep third person works best for those kinds. If I was writing YA or something similar with only one MC, I’d probably choose first for a deep personal connection though.

@Dragon-Snapper

Welcome to the Realm of the KeePers of the Pen, @i-j-anderson! Ooooh, another writer/painter! What do you like to paint?
