@Audrey-Caylin Woot! *bestows glitter and Elven grace upon you* There will be many more, I dare say, before KP’s lifetime is up.
*bursting into song* Rock and pool, it’s nice and cool, so juicy, sweeeeeet…

@Audrey-Caylin It’s an essential skill for any writer.

*cautiously pops in and glances around* Yup, I’m definitely staying out of this one.

@Daeus I’ll be writing for a bit, so… *tadaaa*

Ethryndal replied to the topic Tips for Writing Short Stories in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years ago
@Perfectfifths Zikers! (as @graciegirl would put it 😛 ) Now this thing is deleting parts of my posts! I’ve been having a lot of trouble with the site lately; sometimes certain peoples tags won’t come through, and today, the spot that lets you log in disappeared for four hours and I was locked out of my account. Apparently, it doesn’t like…[Read more]

Ethryndal replied to the topic Is the "love interest" necessary? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years ago
@that_writer_girl_99 Arg, stupid me. I just realized that the scene I’m thinking about is only in the extended edition of the Return of the King. Sorry. But yes, it’s also in the books. 😛

@perfectfifths Nice! Sooo… It’s either an entry fee and a free book, or a free entry and a twenty dollar book. Either way the glass is half full, I guess. 🙂
On another, more random, note, it’s nice that it’s such a professional thing. I entered a short story contest last year done by Patrick Henry College (You actually might not know who they…[Read more]

Oh, I just noticed the thing you said above, about the deadlines and so forth. (I somehow missed it before.) Does that say…f-f-five THOUSAND dollars? Golly, I hope you win! That would be…[Read more]

@Daeus Merp, sorry I missed the critiquing party. I will definitely share this with my people. Such a cool idea. 🙂

Ethryndal replied to the topic Is the "love interest" necessary? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years ago
@that_writer_girl_99 Oh, goodness, I certainly hope romances aren’t necessary to a story line, because my book has absolutely zero romance. (And I plan on keeping it that way. No girl is good enough for you, Emolas…) What really annoys me in fiction is when there’s a romance for no other reason than a girl and a guy are main characters. Rogue…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy Aaaaah! I’m speechless. You have this profound effect on me: Everything you say makes me grin. How can one person be so NICE?
*gives you chocolate with raspberry pieces in it*
Seriously though, you’ve pretty much nailed it. (Besides things like Admirable. I don’t think I’m allowed to have an opinion on those. 🙂 ) All the…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm Oh, dang. I feel for you.
I second what @jane-maree said. I myself am just recovering from a debilitating bout of writers block, and what I ended up having to do was surrender my work to the Lord and let Him do what He wanted. It does amazing things for stress. 🙂 -
Ethryndal replied to the topic Rogue One in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 1 month ago
@that_writer_girl_99 Yeah, I second what @Emma-Flournoy says about Luke. He calmed down some of his whininess in the second two, but he was just never…wow for me. But I know what you mean about being able to overlook poor acting after a while. I hardly notice it in Anakin anymore because that just seems to be who he is. (Mind you, I’m referring…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 Welcome, welcome, and thrice again, welcome! I’m the local elf, so if I ever accidentally dissolve into glitter or creepy poetry, just give me a poke, and I’ll snap out of it. 😉
Ooh, you got to meet Wayne Thomas Batson? How fun! My cousin met him once at a library book signing (’cause he only lives about an hour away from…[Read more]

Ethryndal replied to the topic Writing Dares! in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 1 month ago
@ClaireC Okay, after thinking for a while—
Write about a gorilla that thinks it’s a poodle.
Write about a crown that is only allergic to the king’s head.
Write about the Gum Rebellion of ’92 when all the gum boycotted the bottom of the tables.

@Hope Yay! How superly exciting! I’ve been meaning to read all of your books for a while, and now I’m definitely going to.
@Dragon-Snapper Just make sure your patients sign a liability waiver for incineration before you get near them. 😉

@Mark-Kamibaya The Lord truly is amazing. I guess it’s things like this that we need to hold on to in hard times–all we can see is the pain, but God is working something beautiful out of it. I’ll be praying for your granduncle and aunt. 🙂

@graciegirl Dang, it’s happening to you too? So weird. The good news is that your tags have started coming through more and more, so maybe that will happen with @dragon-snapper after a while.
-
@ethryndal Oh, good! There may be hope of this clearing up after all. Actually, @dragon-snapper your tags all came through late yesterday evening. I guess a few hours delay is better than them not showing up at all. 😀

It has slight delay for me too. Weird. @graciegril

Oh yum, chocolate. *eats it* OH yum, more chocolate! *goes on caffeine high*
You have the EXACT same effect on me! And I keep thinking, how can one person be so NICE?!
And, I have an opinion on the Admirable and so forth, and I say they’re true. So, you need not feel bashful. XD
Like you were feeling bashful.
I finished reading your email a…[Read more]
WELL I LOVE YOU TOO!
*poof* Yes, I remember that. And I know the feeling. The feeling of…bursting. *knowing nod* Quite. But yes, feel free to respond at your leisure. I was almost thinking of sending it in installments because it was so long, but then I thought, eh, well. We understand one another. So it’s all good. *poof again*
Oh boy,…[Read more]
Yup, we understand each other. This is good.
I don’t care that the emails are long (far from it, give me GIVE ME!)—just that that makes it so I have to take longer to reply, and thus longer till I can hear from you again. 😀
Young and evil Gandalf, I KNOW! *cackles with you* That’s a great movie. Different from the books in ways, but still…[Read more]
DRAGON SNAPPER DARED ME. That’s all I’ll say. 😛
Eh, yeah, that’s pretty true. THERE’S JUST SO MUCH TO SAY. Arg. How do I handle it? You can always answer in installments, if you like.
Well good for Caroline. *approving nod* It’s been a while since I saw it last (Anna absolutely hates it; don’t ask me why), but I do remember liking it. The book…[Read more]
Yeah, the Gollum was my fault. 😀
