Ethryndal posted a new activity comment 9 years, 4 months ago
@emma-flournoy At the end of Two Towers, when Frodo and Sam were in Osgiliath, and Frodo was acting like a crazy person and shoving swords into Sam’s throat and stuff like that, and Sam came up with his little pep talk/inspirational speech to keep from dying (to paraphrase just a little XD). It’s part of that speech.
And yeah, that’s one of my fa…[Read more] -

@dragon-snapper Your claws getting in the way? 😉 And yeah, Astrid can be pretty annoying. I liked her more in HTTYD 2 than in the first one or any of the episodes I’ve seen so far. And YES. They are VILLAINS. I think it’s a master plot to drive their audiences insane so they can make zillions of dollars or something. 😛

@ingridrd Am I hearing the voice of Tiny Tim whispering in my ear? XD

@dragon-snapper Ah yes, the twins. When I first watched HTTYD, I was like, uh, no. But they have seriously grown on me. Even Snotlout has grown on me. Not because I necessarily like him, but because they showed why he acts like he does.
Can you believe we have to wait until 2019 for a HTTYD 3? XO

Ethryndal replied to the topic First or Third? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
@gideon-sowdon I personally don’t like multiple first person POVs, mainly because I’ve never read one that was done well. Even when an author clarifies which character is narrating, the voice for both is generally exactly the same. You have to make sure and create a unique voice for each narrator, so that the characters don’t seem identical and…[Read more]

*jumping into a conversation that’s been going on forever like I usually do* @dragon-snapper They’re still doing another season? My life is complete. I’m not quite done with season 2 yet, but they’re way better than I thought they would be. Hiccup and Toothless are just… *shoots ten firework arrows into the sky for lack of a better word*

@aysia-serene You like school? Yup, you’re definitely a homeschooler. I think it’s a common trait among us. That’s so funny about you’re hobbies; you sound just like me. People ask me what I like to do and I pipe up “Write!” And they ask what else and I go “Uh…” XD
Does anyone even know how the bestistest thing got started anyway?

@Northerner Haha, mine didn’t either. Except watch Tangled. I don’t know if that counts. 🙂

@Abigail-Blomberg Coolio! It’s a nice twist, doing it from Joseph’s perspective.
The main thing I think you might want to work on is the grammar in some places. Some where typos, some where just words together that didn’t quite make sense.
It isn’t perfect, but it is as perfect as I it can be for my sparrow.
This line had me a little confused a…[Read more]

Amen, @perfectfifths! Happy 2017! May it be a better year than any of it’s predecessors, may God help us to grow in faith and strength, may we ever seek Him more in the adventures He has planned for us, and may He bless our writing as we endeavor to honor His glory in the upcoming year.

Ethryndal replied to the topic Book Cover Opinions #2 in the forum Art 9 years, 4 months ago
@daeus I had to scrutinize it very closely to figure out that he’s holding a cane. At first glance, it looks like some strange kind of shoe or something. Also, the red lettering doesn’t seem to stand out very well, though I would be careful if you brighten it, because you don’t want it to look like Santa Claus’s coat. I think the hand with the…[Read more]

@daeus I think the picture is really neat, with the deep dramatic shadows, I just don’t like the title font too much. Like Emma said, it kind of seems plastic. I think maybe if it were a little more aged and worn looking, it might fit better. Also, I thought the design behind it almost looks like it’s part of the road, though I’m not really sure…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy @sarah-h @rolena-hatfield @sierra-r @kate-flournoy @jess Thank you all for praying! If you could just keep it up a little longer, it would be much appreciated. I think it’s so amazing that people here pray for each other even though they’ve never actually met in person. It makes you think about how big God really is, that He can…[Read more]

Ethryndal replied to the topic Illustrations and Personal Opinions Regarding Them in the forum Art 9 years, 4 months ago
@i-j-anderson I personally like illustrations, if they’re done well, though too often I pick up a book with illustrations that look like they were done by a four year old. (You know, blobby noses, faces that are basically just a circle, and pathetic backgrounds)
Or the illustrator paid absolutely no attention to the author’s descriptions. Like, a…[Read more]
