Ethryndal

@northerner @ethryndal I think I’m going to be done now. I wrote 167 words. /Not the best, but better than nothing, I suppose. Thanks!

@ethryndal Writing parts of yourself into your characters is one of the best ways to do that! I really like that alternate method though of using one of your friends as a means of portraying the character. Hadn’t thought of that before, but I may have to try that now!

@ethryndal Nice work! I particularly like 3 and 5 since they’re wrong answers that can seem rather sympathetic at first. Sounds like a great backbone for poetic justice there as well.

@winter-rose I’ll join you!
@daeus @kate-flournoy @jess @aella @ethryndal @anyone else
Are any of you writing tonight as well?

Looks good, @ethryndal

Thanks, @sierra-r , @emma-flournoy , @winter-rose , @ethryndal , @jess and @clairec . Your prayers mean so much to me.

Also, I just decided that I’m going to play my guitar at his funeral on Saturday, and I’m pretty nervous because I’m a beginner and I’ve never done anything like this before, so if you could pray that I’ll have courage and play…[Read more]

I’ll be praying for you too, @clairec . Good luck, Sunday! 🙂

@Ethryndal You are too kind 😀 I still don’t disagree you two (the whole thing was rushed, given too much attention, etc.), and am in general far more fond of Fili, Bilbo, and Thorin.

@Ethryndal Interesting. Maybe we can get five someday. Ah, I see that now. It still is very pretty, and it looks elvish.

@dragon-snapper Nice to meet you, too! I like your username, by the way. I’ve had writer’s block about a ton of projects but never my main one. I only get procrastinator’s block on that one, and I sure get that a lot.

@ethryndal Basically what Daeus said. The Experiments in Living should be looking pretty similar to the answers you came up with before; the only difference is that this time they should be a bit more “embodied” so-to-speak in a lifestyle, and a bit less abstract. 🙂

@Ethryndal Hello! Yes, INTJs are rather rare, though I have meet several online. I am not surprised to find another as a fellow Tolkien nerd. I hope you enjoy the poem. It really is beautiful. What does your username mean? I assume it is elvish. Sometimes I go by “Agarisil” (blood moon– think Agarwaen and Isil) when I am feeling particularly Fae.

@Ethryndal You’ve probably already lost all vestiges of respect for me by now, but I just wanted you to know I painted that starlight quote and hung it on my wall.

@Ethryndal Ah well, I forgive you. 😉

Maybe they thought it would be needed for the next king or something, but really…

Um, no. No one but Thorin should get the Arkenstone.

But doesn’t the Elven Crush trump all? Come on, she walks on starlight in another world! That’s way more important than even shedding a tear over the Impal…

@Ethryndal *lowers voice not at all* Of course I’ve seen the extended version. What kind of fan do you think I am?
That scene is sad, but not long enough in my oh so humble opinion. They didn’t even have the funeral; it just showed them there! I needed to see more mourning too—from a close up, personal stand point. But what really gets me is…[Read more]

@ethryndal The experiment in living and the answer to the focusing question should sound the same. They both answer the same question: How should one act in reference to the thematic matter? Basically, they’re just two different ways of looking at the same thing.
