@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise Why…why have I not thought of that? *adds ‘dead fall into water onto next summer’s list* I have fallen into water, but not because I was pretending to be dead and mindset is everything.
Have you ever been in water almost as deep as yourself, then exhaled and let yourself sink until you are laying along the bottom of…[Read more]

@Kate-flournoy See, I don’t really have anyplace to plan out fight scenes. I normally just do it in my head. But I’d love to watch you… *goes off to see how much secret cameras cost*

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise My Mom now officially thinks you are insane. And that, @kate-flournoy, is hilarious.
I’ve never done anything like that. *shakes head wisely* I’ve only had my brother zip-tie my hands behind my back to see if I could break out of them. (I couldn’t and had to instruct him on how to cut them without cutting me.) I can…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Oooooh… that does make sense.

@jess No, thanks. You actually reaffirmed my point.
The ideas aren’t to be acted upon if they merely come from emotion. Emotion’s strength is that it prompts ideas the reason would never dare to dream. Reason then shapes those ideas to make them manageable.
People whose emotions get out of hand are that way because they’re reason isn’t playing…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I’ve been meaning to ask, what’s exactly is the difference between an affirmative and a turbulent?

@dragon-snapper ENFJ=awesome. It’s really that simple. You don’t need to understand anything else. 😛
All you INTJs, look. Emotions and logic really go hand in hand. Nothing complex about it. Emotion prompts ideas and offers advice, logic evaluates things and makes the decision, and emotion drives the execution. Very good combination.

Guysssssssssss *wails* I get home from church and get 38 emails…almost all of them from this thread. *pouts* I can’t keep up with you all.
And now, @Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise, @Kate-flournoy, @Jess, on to INTJs.
Kate is pretty much right. The logic. The suppressing emotions and not showing it because it’s ‘just’ a feeling and isn’t what…[Read more]

No, I don’t @kate-flournoy, and I’m jealous of you. Well, sometimes I slip into the character’s mind or put myself in their place to figure out what they would do. But generally I am very much the one writing. Well, I take that back; it depends on the character. I connect more closely with some and get in their heads better than with others.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Great! And thanks. I only have 500 words left!

Hope Ann replied to the topic Writers' Corner #3 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
@dragon-snapper I can get 500 words done in 20-30 minutes if I focus. Like I currently am not doing. But I’m 500 more along, hence this quick ‘break’. Now, back to work.

@dragon-snapper Yep, still here. 1000 words down, 2000 to go. 🙂

@overcomer @aella @dragon-snapper @daeus I’m going to be writing for the next few hours, trying to get 3000 words in, if anyone wants to join in.

@Jess Exactly! I’m INTJ too. 😉 But while I’m not heartless, I take a certain amount of gleeful pleasure out of being viewed as heartless, with ice in my blood, etc. Don’t as us, ahem, me why. Yes, I talk to myself in my mind. First person, second person, even third person… *glances to either side warily* Wes not completely insane, preciouses? Are wes?

@emma-flournoy I think I’d collaborate on the music. I’m always composing music and am supposedly very musical, but I can’t actually write down the music (at least it would be very very difficult for me to do) and I really don’t like playing instruments myself and have very little knowledge of them.

@emma-flournoy Any movie at all. Though our family never really attends the theatre (for no particular reason), that experience decided me that the opera is my favourite art form. I don’t know if it will ever happen, but some day I’d like to write them along with my novels.

@emma-flournoy Yes, the play is amazing. Of course, they had to seriously abridge everything and they couldn’t possibly be 100% accurate to the book with the limited time, but I’d say they did a good job expressing the core elements of the book. The only issue is that stage directors can do anything they want outside of the script, so when I went…[Read more]
