Ethryndal replied to the topic Catching Trout in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
@dragon-snapper Yay, hooks! I love hooks! There are several types of them:
1.) Raising a question (as other people have mentioned, I think). I think this one pretty much explains itself.
2.) Creating a vivid character. If you start with an interesting or unusual character, people will be intrigued by them and keep going.
3.) Unexpectedness.…[Read more]

@hannah-c @perfectfifths @jess And on that note, I shall return to the swirl of glitter from whence I came, because holy cow, it’s 11:30 pm! (actually, not for you, Perfect, if you’re in Australia. This time zone thing is so confusing… 🙂 )
Fare thee well, and your cat! (and dog)

@hannah-c Ah, that explains itself. A dog that thinks it’s a dog.

@hannah-c My cat has this strange and frighteningly accurate radar for when I’m writing death scenes.

*randomly popping up in a swirl of glitter* Ha, love bites are WONDERFUL when you’re trying to type… Your hero ends up doing the weirdest things, like kjdytUKKdg.

I like the bit about the sulky door. I think there is great potential for that. A door with an attitude? Maybe it’s stubborn and decides not to open sometimes? Maybe (if you’re going with other worlds) when they’re trying to get into one world, it will randomly dump them in another, just to be annoying?
Just a thought.

@anne-of-lothlorien Oh boy, you just started one of my favorite subjects! I personally liked VotDT, even though it could be pretty lame in parts (aforesaid green mist). Eustace was amazing and Reepicheap was perfect. The one thing that annoyed me a little was the diversion from Edmund’s character. He was awful in The Lion the Witch and the…[Read more]

@jess It has been my experience that the bad things that happen to us are often times God setting up greater things to come, things that we couldn’t possibly imagine. We can only see the bad at the time. We can’t see the amazing good He has ready to come out of our tribulations. There have been so many times that I’ve looked back over the past few…[Read more]

I was even thinking of making a movie in Blender of it not too long ago!
@leumeister You know I’m going to hold you to that now, right? 😉 Rock Raiders is definitely one of the best lego things ever. They’ve been getting more and more lame as time goes on until…Lions vs. Alligators? Really?
Ah yes, the gadgetry. I’ve got to admit, there’s no…[Read more]
