@Daeus hm, yeah. That’s a puzzler. I would probably not do that, for the sake of my conscience and because I wouldn’t want to get accustomed to having bad words on my lips, even if they aren’t mine.

@Daeus true. I guess I meant more that to acknowledge their existence by saying ‘he cursed’ is not the same as actually putting all the lurid details down on the page.

@Daeus that’s a good idea about the content advisory.
I don’t quite agree with comparing curse words to romance or violence or any other more ‘normal’ sin, as their crime is not their existence, but spelling out their filthiness on the page. With ‘romance’ and violence, you can put as many or few details in as you like. With a curse word, it’s…[Read more]

*cough* Sorry sis. Didn’t stop to think about whether you wanted to answer that or not. 😛

@Emma-Flournoy

@Leumeister that’s pretty cool… I haven’t done any animation though. Just artwork; digital painting. Also some book cover design. 😉 Comes in handy when one is a writer, don’t you think? 😀

@Dragon-Snapper good point, but may I point out that they’re not talking about swearing. They’re talking about similes. Likening something to heaven or to hell, not saying ‘by heaven’ or ‘by hell’.

In which case, by the way, I would also tend to agree with @Winter-Rose.

Hellooooo @NatalieMarie! Welcome! You will not regret joining; this place is truly amazing.
I’m Kate, by the way. *sticks out hand* In case you can’t tell by my profile pic, I’m a dragon. But don’t worry. I don’t breathe fire (often) and I keep my claws trimmed. How else can I type? 😛
*ahem* Yes. We’re a tad crazy here. 😉 What are some of your…[Read more]

This topic never gets old.
Great points, @Christi-Eaton and @Winter-Rose and @Daeus. I tend to agree with all that has been said so far, but I think I also tend to take a more cautious view of it. Language doesn’t bother me in a book so long as it’s not all over the place. I can block it. But there are those who can’t. And for the sake of those…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I swear I will answer you. What you’ve said really sparks some questions of my own. But I’m kind of busy this week (anniversary week of the Bible College)

@kate-flournoy Same for you.

@leumeister @jess @ethryndal

Logan Black–main character (hero)
Gabriella Kamiyama–secondary character (good guy, daughter of Yukio btw)
Blake Aricson–secondary character: antihero
Daren Azimalik–villain
Jonah Cnatonus–secondary character (hero)
Yukio Kamiyama–villain (big baddie)

Interesting how you came to similar, but different conclusions.

@anne-of-lothlorien Never mind. I kind of cheated. =P It’s from an unreleased movie. Just wanted to infuriate someone.

@bluejay Pretty sure that’s a Jane Austen something . . . is it?

@His-Instrument MBTI is my life, so… yeah. 😛

@Leumeister yes! Exactly! 😀

Ha. It’s okay. They probably won’t come anywhere near us anyway. 😛

Hm, yes… *strokes chin* Okay. Cool. I’m not going totally from scratch— I’m rewriting Victorious so I’m working with existing material, but that’ll be helpful to keep in mind. It’ll probably end up more like a list of chronological notes, as you said, but I guess we’ll see…[Read more]

Oh! Okay. Awesome.

…guess what? I’m going to be outlining my next project on Friday! Going hunting with my dad, and I’m going to take a notebook (or two 😛 ) and a pen and see how much I can get done just sitting in a blind all day. XD

How in depth do you usually outline?

@Daeus

@Daeus I got 966. Your count picking up any?

@Daeus with you all the way.

What Daeus said. 😛

Yeah. I know what you mean.
