@aratrea Great!

@rachelle Ooh, digital art, how neat! AND comicy cartoony things. I guess you get the added satisfaction of being an artist and a writer at the same time. 🙂 One day I’m going to try some of that stuff… But at the moment, I stick to pencil, with a bit of water-color mixed in. I mainly do people too, though I’m more of a portrait artist.

@r-j-wordsmith There’s nothing so tragically wonderful as a sad story, and boy, you’ve written a good one. I have nothing further to add to what has already been pointed out, but I will say that I agree with you about the condemned sign. (Even though I didn’t know what it meant either. 🙂 ) If the house goes for sale, readers would be left to…[Read more]

@Daeus I’m not even going to attempt to read that list…yeesh, I didn’t know the writerly kind were such cowards! XD

@Dragon-Snapper *gasps* Is it an Elven cloak???

Now. I wouldn’t be completely honest if I didn’t say my biggest fear was letting other people read my stuff. Even the thought of giving my writing to someone else makes me want to…[Read more]

@Rachelle Human, elf, or dragon? 😉

Excellent choice, Lord of the Rings. Ever read the Silmarillion? (I ask because I’m currently reading it and need support…) What do you like to draw/paint? (And while we’re on the subject, is it drawing or painting? I’m an artist also; I appreciate that kind of thing. 🙂 ) Welcome to the Kingdom! Beware the…[Read more]

@aratrea Ah, okay. My sister pointed out the left-field thing as well. I’m spending some brain juice on it. I’ve got a rough catalyst for Mash #2, but I’m going over that one also and trying to make it more…catalystic.

@aratrea Wow, this sounds cool. Either the 24th or the 25th will probably work for me, but I’m pretty sure the 27th won’t, unless I’m blessed with a miracle. 😀

It looked like an ordinary door. It felt like an ordinary door. But it led into a room that was completely upside down.

@Daeus Thank you for giving meaning to my writers’ block. XD May happiness and prosperity follow you all the rest of your life.

You find a cell phone in the dumpster that lets you communicate with the people you call through thoughts, not words.

Welcome, @R-J-Wordsmith, fellow Narnian and homeschooler! I too love classics, though I am afraid to say I’ve never read CoMC (sorry, @Daeus 😀 ) Who’s your favorite Narnia character?

Oh, and that’s so neat, your character cameos. I love when authors do that. 🙂

@aratrea I’m going to have to follow the trend here, because like everyone else, my answer is the same as the last one: Pain. In the same way that it has deepened me and pushed me closer to God, I feel like I use it a LOT to deepen my characters and help them grow.

@aratrea Exactly. Sorry, I should have made that more clear.

Hey, @Kayla-Joy! Welcome aboard the S.S. Insanity! Though I would one day like to write a dystopian, I fear that I haven’t done it yet and am unqualified to offer you my assistance. However, I would like to cast my lot in with @northerner and @dragon-snapper and say NO TRIANGLES. Unless it’s absolutely necessary. 🙂

Characteristic Moment: Protagonist finds herself in a position where the greater safety of a number of people is dependent upon her undertaking a perilous mission, but she doesn’t see the point in sacrificing herself for them because she sees most of humanity as selfish, cruel, or just plain unintelligent.

Mash #1: Her good friend tells her that…[Read more]

@Daeus THIS IS SO EXCITING!!! *explosions of glitter* Hooray for you!

@daeus Happy trails. I got interrupted with a long and heated debate about character arcs with my sister, so I’ll be going a while yet.
