Ethryndal replied to the topic Blog Post Word Count in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@GracieGirl I actually researched this once, and the general consensus was that 1,000 words is a good length. However, like @Daeus said, this is largely dependent upon the subject matter. KP and K.M. Wieland can get away with longer posts because they’re more like articles. Short stories work as long posts too, but when I write small snippets…[Read more]

Ethryndal replied to the topic The Itsy Bitsy Spider is Shelob in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
When you figure out the answer, please notify me. I would like to know too.
In other words, I have no idea. Shelob is the worst. *headdesk*

Jump all you like! (And kudos for a perfectly placed LotR quote…)
Gah, that must have been SO cool! What was it like? Did everything get dark or something, or is that just one of those random myths everyone thinks is true?
-
Thanks! (And thanks, I love that quote. XD)
It was pretty awesome… Everything didn’t get dark as in the dead of night kind of dark, but it was all dusky, I believe the word is. A flock of birds returned to roost in the trees, and the cicadas and other night bugs began to sing. And Venus (usually the brightest “star” in the sky) was visible.…[Read more]

@ethryndal Pathetic eh? I certainly hope this is one of your sarcastic moments, because it was far from it. 😛

@Jessi-Rae YIKES. That sounds AWESOME.I think the coolest thing about what you just said is how the animals and stuff thought it was night time. *shivers* It’s almost creepy. I don’t know about you, but I kinda want to write a story about an eclipse now. 😛
(And your imagery was so cool. Sun like rising stage lights? SO. COOL.)
-
@ethryndal You’re right! It would be fun to write a story about an eclipse. Or something similar, anyway…
(Thanks! That was the best way I could think to describe it. 🙂 )

*gasp* Heyo, @Dragon-Watcher! Like Daeus said, your name really sounds like @Dragon-Snapper! Dragon kin, perhaps? 😛 I myself am an elf, and I like to think I’m here to bring certain winged reptile creatures down a notch when they get too full of themselves. 😉 (Though I’m sure they have very different ideas about our encounters.)
So! What’s your…[Read more]

@Salome01w4g I know you’re probably gone by now, but have you ever read Johnny Tremain? That’s one of my favorite historical fiction books ever.

@Emma-Flournoy Blphugh. I always forget the tag.

ACTUALLY, you don’t have to do a tag as long as you’re hitting the reply button. I’ll still get a notification. It’s rather nice.
*sage nod* That’s sad. I’ll send pictures.

I don’t know WHAT I was expecting, but it wasn’t that. And yeah, maybe that’s because I didn’t have solar filter thingies or whatever. ANNA did. But that’s because she was cleaning someone’s house at the time, and they were kind enough to offer them to her.

@Emma-Flournoy Well I don’t know about you, but that was a PATHETIC eclipse.
-
Sort of! I must’ve been expecting it to get really really dark. It did get a leeeetle darker and looked kinda cool out, but it was…pathetic. Looking at the sun through the solar filter was pretty cool though. It looked like an orange crescent moon. (We weren’t in the ‘path of totality’ as they call it, so we didn’t get to see it 100% eclipsed.…[Read more]

I ain’t droppin’ no eaves, honest (so I hope it’s okay to jump into this conversation? I’m really sorry if it’s not!), but I got to see the eclipse in totality. I don’t live in the Path of Totality either, so my family journeyed to a different state to see it. And it was totally epic.

Agh, @That_writer_girl_99, I’m just leaving. Sorry. (*disgruntled snort* You never call me ‘love’.)
