@emma-flournoy, well I replied but it’s not showing it so that’s weird.

Adry_Grace replied to the topic The Antihero in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 1 month ago
@emma-flournoy That’s a good thought.
I do not think that a hero is NECESSARY to an antihero. I think an antihero can function just as well as a character without a hero. Antiheroes have the ability to be very deep, complex, meaningful characters all by themselves. That’s why I love them.
But in Christian writing, I think this is also something…[Read more]

DelightInLife replied to the topic Hello Everyone!! in the forum Start HERE 9 years, 1 month ago
@graciegirl Thanks so much! I was anticipating that! 🙂 No, actually. Sir Malcolm and the Missing Prince is medieval but the other books are not. I have a couple other favorites that are medieval, though I am always on the lookout for other good, historical fiction books set in the Middle Ages. Thanks for the book recommendation! No, I haven’t…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy yup. I play a lot of instruments. 😛
That’s cool though! How long have you been playing for? -

@Emma-Flournoy hello hello!
I play flute, violin, piano and guitar. (also have future aspirations of cello and banjo among others) -

@kate-flournoy Thanks! I’m glad you like her. I have to stop looking at her for now, otherwise I’m going to see all the flaws and my perfectionism will drive me crazy! 😉 Your drawing’s really good, too! It’s a lot more realistic style than mine 🙂
@ethryndal Thanks so much! I seem to have created a style that’s somewhere between realistic and…[Read more]

I’m afraid I won’t be able to come. 🙁 But while we’re on the subject, is anyone going to be at either the Cincinnati or Indianapolis Homeschool Conventions this year? I’m just curious, and I hope @anne-of-lothlorien doesn’t mind me diverting the conversation a teensy bit. 😉

@Emma-Flournoy Ah, aherm, yes, most Elves don’t partake in cannibalism. XD I actually got curious and looked up positive Y words, and Yummy was practically the only one. Yummy and Yum. You are neither. I hope. 😉
Well, you deserve to be a superhero. Seriously, when I think of nice people on KP, you’re top on my list. So encouraging and helpful,…[Read more]

Hey KeePers! I’m back! For a few minutes. Because I have a question. It may not have merited it’s own thread, but I didn’t want it to get lost with all the conversation in another thread. And I knew we had a few or more personnel in the Indiana and bordering states area, so…

@Audrey-Caylin Oddly enough, that’s actually as big as I could make the title. So either WordPress wants me to upgrade so I can make it bigger (and subsequently pay them money) , or I have no idea what I’m doing and missed something totally obvious. Both are plausible. 🙂 I’m going to…[Read more]

@Ethryndal! *hugs you ’cause she can’t help it even though INTJs don’t like emotional display*
Why do you have to be so nice?
I can’t think of a Y either. Yummy? That’s the only positive Y word I could think of off the top of my head, and that’s only positive if you’re a cannibal. (I don’t think you are.)
Thanks, Sarah. 🙂

Nope. I’m very bland tasting.
That is seriously encouraging!! (You’re one of my faves too. ) That’s one of the nicest things you could say.

*awkwardly pats head because that’s all INTJs know how to do* I think it’s so neat, how much you want to serve God.

Yay, mission accomplished! I’m not shallow! 😀
No, I know what you mean. I don’t even know that many teenagers (aside from here of course), but I know what you mean.

Yup, it’s a novel. Two years in the making and very little to show for it. 😛 Glad you’re interested. (And if it helps, it’s not a very long book. 40,000 words, and I don’t think it’s going to grow any time soon.) But that’s getting ahead of myself, because it’s not even going to be done for a while. 🙂
So how’s life?

@Ethryndal Life….life…well, it’s going pretty much like life, currently. 🙂 Regular old cabin cleaning, school work, stuff… But I recently finished most of my school, and that makes me SO HAPPY!!! Ain’t goin’ to college, either.

@Emma-Flournoy Oh, I’ll definitely pray for you. I have quite a bit of experience with chronic health problems that seem to have no answers, not for myself, but for my mom, so I understand. And I used to have really bad headaches all the time, and they are No. Fun. So yeah, I’ll be praying. At least you get lots of people-watching experience,…[Read more]

I know, your mom; is her problem something you think will be fixable sometime? I’ve been praying for her too.Yeah…like, all of it. 😛 I have some math review I’ll be doing, and a couple more reports to write, and a rather large amount of history books to read still (but really, one should never stop reading educational books)…all…[Read more]

Aaaaaaaand Parental Unit confirms! It’s a go! Ask a way!
*looks back over entire conversation* Wow. This got big.

Lovely. 😀 I shall.
It’ll be my mom’s address, because I don’t have one. 😉
Btw, I love how you seem to have a good relationship with your parents. That seems a kind of forward thing to say, but…how you respect their authority and all, it’s so good to see that.
I’ll be telling my mom about this, but I know she’ll let me so I haven’t asked her. 🙂-
@Emma-Flournoy Well, I sent Daeus my email address, so, yay!
Awww *grins all over self (you’ve affected me that way 🙂 )* that makes me so happy. I love my parents to death. They’re my best friends.
And don’t worry about forwardness or anything. I’m not one of those people who gets offended. 🙂-
Yay! I expect he’ll be sending it to me sometime in the next little while, ’cause he already knows mine.
That is so awesome.
And so is that. One thing I love about having dealings with Thinkers is that they’re less sensitive (or more rational, however you wanna put it 😛 ), so I, being a Feeler myself, don’t have to worry quite so much over what…[Read more]

Yup, I’m not sensitive. In the least. Which is funny, because everyone else in my family is. It makes for an interesting dynamic sometimes… 😉

An update for those of you interested – I have mostly gotten the short story written. It’s actually a scene from a pre-existing longer book I wrote last year, which I had fixed and edited a bit to make sense as it’s own short story (removing irrelevant plotpoints, reintroducing the characters, things like that) I had asked the opinion of one of my…[Read more]

@bluejay I was just thinking about you tonight, and wondering if you had gotten injured or sick. I’m so glad you are okay! 🙂 I’m sorry things aren’t going well. I will be praying for you, and for your family! We really miss you. :'( 🙂

Hey, @bluejay! Glad to see you again, though I’m sorry to hear what’s been going on! I was wondering where you went, especially since I made comments on that story you sent. If you’re still up for all that and want to get in contact with me, I have changed my email, so I’ll have to send it again 🙂

@bluejay, I’m so sorry this has happened for you. I have to say that I can fully empathize and understand where you’re coming from.Please know that I will not judge you, as I have also broken my parents trust on multiple occasions in the past. That was one of the reasons I started spending less time here. As you said, sometimes these things bring…[Read more]

@Bluejay!!! I’ve been thinking of you quite often and wondering what was up; and been praying for you, ’cause I’d no idea why I hadn’t heard from you in so long. I’ll certainly keep praying for you and your family, and I really hope all goes well.
Love you. *hugs* -
@Kate-Flournoy Just making sure you saw this.

@bluejay ah, I wondered where you went. I’ll be praying, for sure. And yes, believe me— in the long run, this will strengthen your family. 🙂

@bluejay Miss you bunches and bunches, girl, but I’m glad you gave us this update and were so honest! That take a lot of courage. Praying for y’all and proud of you for making a hard (but ultimately, I’m sure, good) decision!

I miss you a lot already, @bluejay . 🙁 Don’t stay away too long! I’ll pray that you and your family will be able to work things out.
