I would go for the king, terrify him to death with my ‘magical powers’ and start from there. Hey, I would make a pretty good mad scientist. 😉

Another thing I’m thinking about the MC (he sounds absolutely stunning, by the way) is that maybe some of the way he destroyed the dictator has to do with something he stole out of the time machine. (Being…[Read more]

OK, this is good. So @writefury, I came up with an idea for a great Chekhov’s gun that I could use for the overthrow of the dictator. But of course, it wouldn’t actually be enough, because that is just lame. I wan’t things to be desperate from start to finish. I will use this Chekhov’s gun to turn things from impossible to only insane.

Now, the…[Read more]

Oh, so that’s what a Chekhov’s gun is. Those are really really cool. I’ve actually got one super-major Chekhov’s gun in my Edwin Brook story.

Those back to the future examples sounded pretty good … but I’ve never seen that movie. In fact, I suppose I probably don’t consume hardly a tenth of the average person’s entertainment. Oh, well.

So,…[Read more]

Kidnaped by drugged parakeets? Don’t worry. It happens to me all the time.

@writefury I don’t mind info dumping. That is what I do to the rest of you.

Those are some good ideas. I never thought about them trying to hide they were from the future. I’ll have to toy with that.

Now I have to ask, what is a Chekov’s gun? I’ve never heard of that.

As to what happens to the time machine……….

……….I can’t tell you that.

@kate-flournoy

I think I just came up with a fantastic idea. It’s one of those, “do this exactly and everything will work wonderfully” type things. Of course, sometimes those don’t work out, but sometimes they do, so here I go.

This is what you should do:

Take this poem, and when you feel it is as good as you can get it, paint a picture to go…[Read more]

Ooh… oh boy. I volunteer for beta reading already. I’ve gotta run right now, so I’ll let this stew in my mind for a while, but believe me I will be getting back to you as soon as I can. Which will probably be sometime tomorrow. 😛

Oh, I guess I should mention that my main point for the book is basically, “Changing the world starts with you.” The second point is, “Change the world.”

Hm…

Oh.

Dare I ask if I am familiar with this… this other couple? 😉

If you’re talking about Cyth and Analissa, @Hope, I’d definitely say you did a good job with that.

@sarah-h @hope
A tale of two cities. When looking for a good example for anything, you can always start there.

Hey, @sarah-h, You’re back! It’s been a while.

You do have a nice big family, @Hannah-Krynicki! I have four brothers and five sisters— just the opposite! It’s quite an adventure, isn’t it? 😉

@Hannah-Krynicki I suppose them just being in the bestistest place makes them bestister.

@Daeus I’d rather stay floored— I’m scared of heights.

Thanks so much, @Hope!

@kate-flournoy

Cool. Yeah, I mean, I think liked it is a little week. By the way, you can get off the floor now. After all, it would be much more interesting if you were ceilinged than floored. *Tries to imagine that*

Unfortunately I think I need all the common sense I can get my hands on, @Daeus. 😛

And I will keep writing poetry.

Wow, I’m… I just… I’m still floored you liked it so much.

Tag thingy not forgotten @kate-flournoy

Common sense is some pretty awesome stuff. If you have any for sale, I’ll take it.

‘To love you must be willing to bear things alone’

That’s what I’m talking about. Same poetry, more realism.

Sweet stuff.

Egh, forgot the tag thingy.
@Daeus.
