Greetings. I’m not sure if you’ve met me, although I’m a subscriber to your blog. I wanted to let you know that I love your blog (for some reason I can’t comment on your posts, so I’ll just mention it here).
I would offer you advice, but I have the same problem all the time. All I can say is, it sounds like you’re already doing really…[Read more]

@Ethryndal I hope you survive. This sounds painful. *somberly gives you chocolate*

Okay, I guess I have to tag someone now…
@sam-kowal Write a poem about Ninja Gypsies. @ethryndal You can still do it, too 😀

The GIF-hiders: An Easter Story
Part Three: The Flight to the Castle
That afternoon, Jenna opened the door of her house to a whooshing noise just outside, and she gasped at the sight of a sleek, dark red dragon, peering at her silently with yellow eyes.
Jenna’s mouth couldn’t help but fall open, even after hours of mental preparation. But now…[Read more]

@catwing All right…
Actually it reminds me of @ethryndal‘s blog post. The nose and all XD

Sam Kowal replied to the topic Any Advice on an Ever-Evolving Theme? in the forum Plotting 7 years, 1 month ago
@ethryndal This a tough one. I remember my themes changing constantly when I first began writing, because I didn’t have much idea of theme.
XD I wish I could tell you how I worked it out, but I got rid of all those stories cause they were awful.
Like Daeus said, all those themes seem related to one another, so you choose to broaden them and make…[Read more]

*coughs* I really hope I’m not reposting, but I tried to edit my post and it disappeared. . . So . . . Anyways.
@ethryndal I know from personal experience that my writing often grows with me. Your problem may be a result of growing as a person. This is frustrating to deal with, as we can’t really stop ourselves from changing. But once I…[Read more]

Jane Maree replied to the topic Any Advice on an Ever-Evolving Theme? in the forum Plotting 7 years, 1 month ago
@Ethryndal I have actually had this problem before in the past. Basically, I second what Elizabeth has said. Don’t push yourself to keep writing while you’ve got this big problem. Sit back and work it out.
– What do you actually want the main theme to be?
– Can you revise the characters and their arcs and actions to fit that theme more…[Read more] -
Daeus replied to the topic Any Advice on an Ever-Evolving Theme? in the forum Plotting 7 years, 1 month ago
@ethryndal Well, I’m not totally sure. 😛
I can try to help though.
First of all, those themes do seem very interconnected and I believe they can all coexist at once. Humans are depraved so when they ask what gives them worth their fallen nature says it is their strength. In the search for strength, they become racist. I could see this all…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong @dekreel @daeus @seekjustice @winter-rose @ethryndal @sam-kowal Hey Beta-readers! 😀
You all have helped me so much in the making of my novel. It’s come so soooo far in the last 6 months. Hopefully, with a couple more round of edits, I’ll be ready to send it off to agents, editors and publishing companies.
Because of that, I…[Read more]

😐 That’s me. The wonderful, wild Kid. XD If we ever meet in person (which we have to do, anyway. You’re in Maryland, right?) then I’ll call you Galadriel and you’ll call me Kid. *watches building explode in dragon fire and glitter*
(I never claimed to be fluent… Melons are tasty though.)

THAT WOULD BE SO EPIC. *envisions all the explosions* The dragon and the elf. We wouldn’t have any gifs to throw at each other though… I suppose we’d have to improvise. And yes, I’m in Maryland. I applaud your skills of observation. Is it too much to ask what state thou makest THY residence in?

*hides beneath 10 days* Sorry it’s taken me so long to respond to this. I’ve been seriously busy.

Wow. Guys, I am literally tearing up X’)
God doesn’t make mistakes.
So true. It’s easy to take for granted how we’re all masterpieces. Thank you for the reminder!
As I was reading your reply, I started praying “Thy will be done.” I shouldn’t expect myself to be something. Who says God will make everything “r…[Read more]

Joy started the topic Self-Doubt… in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 1 month ago
Heya, Kapeefers. Early warning: this is kind of a deep post
I need some help… Lately I have been seriously self-doubting myself and my ability to write, and comparing myself to other writers.
I write because I love story-telling, not because I want to be published (although that would be kinda cool). I just want to write stories. And I don’t…[Read more]

Elizabeth replied to the topic A Year Ago… in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 1 month ago
@ethryndal Don’t you know? We INFPs spend our lives in a never-ending existential crisis.

Elizabeth replied to the topic A Year Ago… in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 1 month ago
@dekreel Thank you!
@ethryndal LOTR is indeed better than some things. Dying, for instance.
…your kind words are appreciated. You made my heart happy.

@ethryndal *claps* Bravo! You redefine green elves, and I melt chairs. 😛
(Yep, I’m Danielle. 🙂 That’s me name. *stunned* Did an INTJ just hug me? 😛
-
Yeah, yeah, don’t get used to it. Sometimes INTJs have an identity crisis. It takes them all of 0.05 seconds to remember who they are and that they don’t hug people.
You do realize how strange this is for me though, right? Is this what if felt like when you learned that my real name WASN’T Ethryndal? *hyperventilates on the floor* What is life…[Read more]-
It was pretty weird, I’ll admit. I was like… wait. Huh? Is that her real name, or is that her pen name, or is that… ??? XD
*pats shoulder but does not dare hug you* Worry not, melon (is that the elvish word for friend??) at least I’m still a dragon.
*melts chair*

True, very true. And no matter how many names you may have, you will always be a Kid as well. 😀
(And yes, your elvish is mostly correct. Mellon actually has two ‘L’s, but I’ll overlook it THIS ONCE… 😛 See how merciful I am?)

@dragon-snapper No problem.
That just made me realize how awesome talking about it with other KeePers would be!
Have no fear, though. I will tell Stan to keep quiet as well
Sure thing.
*salutes* Gotcha. Sector One is officially kept under my hat.
@dragon-snapper Sure! I hope I haven’t bumbled about it too much already… I was really excited about it X)
@dekreel Nope! 😀 Definitely not too much. 😛
@winter-rose @ethryndal @daeus @sam-kowal Thanks guys!
@dekreel @winter-rose @ethryndal @daeus @sam-kowal
And back to this again. Sorry. *facepalm*
So I’ve decided that I will talk more about my book on the internet. Ya’ll can talk about it too, just no spoilers.
