@bluejay Sure. That’s fine. I doubt it will still look like a body though 🙁

@daeus Yes, I did realize what the visual allowed you to see. I had planed on doing a cross first, but the words came and formed a body, which I like better.
Okay, yeah, I understand that. Thanks for critiquing this for me. I don’t normally write poetry, but I love this form.
Do you mind if I submit this poem to KP with your changes, as long as I…[Read more]

@anne-swiftblade Hey there! Glad to have you here! I as well like your user name. It has a nice ring to it. I wrote a book with pirates in them about three years ago! How’s your pirate’s on the Caribbean comin’ along?

@lightningmouse Wow, I love those drawings! I don’t think I could draw my character that well… 😛

@hannah-c Yeah, I do like it. You really got to the heart of the character in just a few words. That’s fantastic. One place I might want a little more information is on the trials she faces. What type or trials are they? Also, in the last line, you may be spelling out your theme a little too clearly. I think it might be better to phrase it more…[Read more]

I like it @hannah-c. And it does make me want to read your novel. 😉

I’m not the right person to ask about world naming but @anne-swiftblade is. (Seriously, this girl just writes letters down and clever and unique character and world names just start to appear) 🙂 It’s how a great many place names have come about, for example, Mindelvia, Catherstance, Codash, and Glacialis.

@theliterarycrusader
Oh, okay. Man, I really need to read the Chuck Black books. 🙂 Both of those names are really clever.

@Daeus Thank you. 🙂

@theliterarycrusader
I love the idea of spell words backwards. I need to try that sometime. Which author did you pick that up from? 😉

@aella
Hi. I love names. 🙂 I usually just think of random letter combinations, or, if I want the word to mean something specific, I look up names that mean ________ [insert meaning]. I also have a thesaurus called The Thinker’s Thesaurus: Sophisticated Alternatives to Common Words by Peter E. Meltzer, which has a lot of unusual words in it.…[Read more]

Love the poem Greta.

@Jess No problem. That’s what the Body of Christ is for, right? 🙂

@Jess No problem. That’s what the Body of Christ is for, right? 😉

@Bluejay Wow, I’m so impressed! That is SO cool. It looks like a lightbulb (I’m assuming that’s what you were aiming for 😉 ). Keep up the great work!

Alright @bluejay. I’m finally getting to this now. First of all, the visual is amazing. I don’t know if you noticed this, but it doesn’t only just look like a cross, but it looks like a body on a cross. That’s pretty impressive.

As far as the poetry itself, there were some things that were done really well and some things that needed to become…[Read more]

@sarah-h As you know I’m running the book club, so I have to read the Hobbit. I’m disappointed that it won’t be a solid month without fiction, but still, reading only one book (and not even the full thing) isn’t that bad. I’m really glad that I’ve done the challenge though. I’ve found better books to read, and they are challenging me in the way…[Read more]

@sarah-h Yep. 🙂
