Are you asking if it is morally okay to add fantasy elements to a story that takes place in our world? If you are concerned about this morally, may I ask why? What are your concerns?

Thanks for the tips, Daeus. I have an… ahem… hypothetical case to present. Just a question, actually. Say a young man (sixteen, almost seventeen) was thrown into command of a tired, demoralized, losing army, while his father (who had been the commander) and his uncle (with whom he is very close) and his sweetheart (enough said) are captives of the…

Welcome! I hope you enjoy it here!

And I fail to see how having lived in both China and Colorado is boring. 😛

Welcome! And if you’ve been to the last three Oyan workshops, does that mean we were at the same one? Ordinary Heroes?

Peasants rule!!!

(figuratively)

Peasants rule!!!

Welcome Joy! And hurrah to the oldie Oyaners! Glad to have on the KP forum! 😀

Hi Hope!

There is no way to private message currently. We have debated enabling this feature though.

Wow! I just saw this, and it made my day! You guys are the best, and like Sarah said, you guys are why we do it. Without your support and enthusiasm, KP wouldn’t be here.

Here is to the many awesome years to come (Lord willing)! *Raises non-alcoholic beverage*

Cheers!

I know. I really need to learn music theory one of these days! Glad I could help!

Hey Kate! Sorry the late reply!

I wouldn’t be able to give you any complicated tips about music theory if I wanted to, because I don’t know music theory myself. 🙁

I just got started by messing around on my keyboard, and I just kept what I thought sounded good. Since then, I’ve learned a little more about chords and scales. If you have a…[Read more]

I use Cubase, although it’s not free. There are bunch of things out there, but if you’re looking for free, then it sounds like Sarah knows what she is talking about.

Hope,

I watched Epic (and shamelessly enjoyed it!) and loved the sound track! I’ve found that it has been helpful for when I’m writing more from the good guy’s perspective while they’re building up to something or working together to solve a problem. 🙂

Hey, dudette!

This is actually something I’ve been struggling with myself, and I’m afraid I don’t really have a great answer. That being said, it never hurts to sketch out your world map. Even if no one else ever sees it, it’s helpful for when you’re writing. So, I’d say at least to start out, try and freehand a general idea of the map and then…[Read more]

Awwwwwwwwww! Hey, I tell y’all what, all of you make it worth it! 🙂 KP people are some of my favorites! ;D

Should You Include Cussing in Your Story?

And Jesus turned water into wine, so Jesus didn’t have anything against drinking.

Okay, that makes sense. I never thought of them in that category before.

Yes I do use instances of “evil” since anything from white lies to murder is a sin. And I really don’t know how to reconcile that with Phillipians 4:8 except for overshadowing the evil with good, not focusing strictly on the evil, and not going into gory, graphic detai…
