@Writefury @Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise technically you’re both right! I did mean it as what Rosey guessed, but Eustace works too. 😀

@Emma-Flournoy, it’s ‘Just take what’s given and say goodbye.’

Aaaaaand, because the Dallas fangirls, have a deleted scene from his POV. Between part 8 and 9, I believe. -squints for a second and thinks- @kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @corissa-maiden-of-praise @anne-of-lothlorien @hope I think that’s all you Dallas-crazed bunch?

@Emma-flournoy Chriiiissss….. -headdesk- he’s one of the biggest things that needs revising. I did a lot of character development on him in the retrospect and, if it hadn’t been a serial story, he probably would have been deleted or replaced right near the beginning. A lot of the time I just forgot about him and was just sort of ‘oh yeah, and…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy So the basic reason for the irreconcilable goods/evils is because of human nature. When humans see a choice they choose the best one. The one that is good. So that’s a problem when the character sees two choices–one good and one bad. They will choose the good one. It’s so simple and that’s a problem for stories. That’s why they…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy I can say that he was a bad person. But not a bad king. He did some pretty good stuff (I mentioned a few in the previous post). Overall, he was okay. Kind of like our most recent (US) presidents. They lean a little toward bad but overall they weren’t pure evil (think Kim Jong-Un).

But you’re right. We drifted so far from the…[Read more]

@sarah-h Good for you! It is a great movie. I think the strongest asset of the movie is the great characters (combined with great performances). Because the singing is less so. Watch the Broadway 25th Anniversary version. Singing is so much better.

@dragon-snapper I’ll get to you later ’cause I have much to say to…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Just a quick one because I have to go soon. Let me start from the bottom.

The Bible says that “Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.” That kind of implies that he did have a heart for God (note the word fully). So that’s why I have the tolerant view of him. I…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Being the helpful person that I am, I both don’t know and I don’t know.

@emma-flournoy Well, the movie gave the date for his death, so I assume he was real.

@kate-flournoy This is kind of like, really cool to be on at the same time as someone else. It’s like I’m having a real conversation.

Everyone else, is there anyone in your family that you have based a character off of? My only one would be my cousin’s cousin, Hans, who is 15. He’s a guy who would try and jump a fence to see if he could and end…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper um… keep it to myself. 😛 Trying to explain awesome story ideas or plot twists to non writers just never really works. If it’s just too amazing to not tell anyone, I’ll tell @Emma-Flournoy because even though she’s not a writer herself she understands. 😉 I also write it down in my little pocket notebook. I have at least three…[Read more]

Wow. @emma-flournoy @kate-flournoy @writefury @ethryndal others I missed…
This is a bunch of awesome advice! I especially agree with don’t make them too perfect.

@emma-flournoy I’m at my grandparent’s house for Thanksgiving.

@emma-flournoy Yes it tasted very bad.

You know you’re a tired writer when you start writing a short story for your sister at eleven oclock at night about a girl who finds a trunk of treasures in her grandmother’s house and you wake up ontop of your story and it reads (in very scribbly writing) “Yes of course dear. Look around in the attic if you…[Read more]

@gretald, @bluejay, @writefury, @daeus,@Sarah-H, @kate-flournoy, @emma-flournoy, @dragon-snapper

I live in Idaho, so Thanksgiving is actually the 24th, but we were celebrating it one day earlier because my Dad is working the night of the 24th.

@mark-kamibaya

Haha! I have a pet-peeve of repetition too. 🙂 I don’t understand why people like to…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Late reply. Sorry.

I think Solomon was that way because of David. I don’t know of any biblical support for this, but the Bible does record instances where someone’s sin was so bad that their kids suffered because of it. I think Solomon suffered in that way. Not being heretical. That’s just my personal opinion.

From a more biblical…[Read more]
