@kate-flournoy Thanks! I think that castle is one of my best works.
@winter-rose 😛 It can be Daeus’ castle if you think it looks like it. Maybe a gate leading to the courtyard?

@rachelle A landscape can take me anywhere from five minutes (that really quick sketch with the creek) or the more detailed landscapes, such as the lake one or…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya Oh, boy. This’ll be hard to explain. 😛

So, a cliche, being what it is clearly has to come from some idea, and that idea is or isn’t a cliche. If it is a cliche, then clearly it came from somewhere, then you have a bunch of cliches within cliches. But if you change the definition of cliche, then they are all original, but they have…[Read more]

Interesting, subconsciously comparing and contrasting–I think that its a neat way of thinking of it.

Compare and contrast is certainly helpful, especially with sci-fi, because the world- like you said, it doesn’t have to be Earth -doesn’t directly compare to ours. And a self-made connection is always much more revealing.

Arc within an arc.…[Read more]

@hope I don’t think so. It’s still in the pre-stages of movie making. But they have some of the characters. Boromir is king Duncan. 😛
@daughteroftheking *accepts confetti* I know!!! I can’t wait!

I would just like to make it known that I had ice cream with raspberry syrup tonight. 🙂 I thought of you all. 😛

… After skimming over this, I’m beginning to think that cliches are just paradoxes.

@mark-kamibaya Thanks for putting this together!
“The literature of the human species encountering change.” I see why this caught your eye. I never considered Sci-Fi that way. Really, I always thought it was a fiction of technology and extraordinary things. Star wars kind of thing, if you know what I mean. 😛
But certainly, just writing s…[Read more]

@hope @kate-flournoy @jess @bluejay @christi-eaton Did anyone else see that they’re making a Ranger’s Apprentice movie?

@clairec @feedingmygoldfish @kate-flournoy @all the singers
Hi guys! So, I’m trying to teach myself to sing. Do you guys know where I should start?

Tsk, tsk, @kate-flournoy, there you go–always being so…blunt. But seriously, good points.

Here’s my take. I wasn’t tagged, but I’m going to talk anyway. Sorry, @mark-kamibaya

The way I see it, this whole thing comes down to how you define a cliche. Taking a frequently used plot-twist, such as a “Luke, I am your father” type of moment, gets…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien You should read some poems by Longfellow.

Phoenix–a giant fiery bird. My favorite mythological creature.

Signing off. @audrey-caylin @jane-maree

It’s a long story that mostly involves eating at strange hours and arriving home from Orlando rather late. @audrey-caylin

Yep! Ah, dinner. I’m currently eating pancakes. At 9:30pm. @audrey-caylin

Yay! Good job! See you ’round. @winter-rose

Heh… @winter-rose

Yeah. That. @winter-rose *blushes* One day, I’ll get this whole story structure thing straight.

I very much enjoyed it. The first movie was very similar to the first book in the series.

I’m working on leading up to the first plot-point. What did you call it, Gabby? A key…something? @winter-rose

I’ve been on here recently, but not to write…I hit a block in my story and decided to take a break during graduation-weekend. @audrey-caylin

Harry Potter isn’t for everyone. I get it.
