@Jessi-Rae *rests hands on top of sword and grins* Good luck with the conquering… this place tends to work by contraries though. It can’t be conquered. The harder you try the more it conquers you.

Do you know your MBTI type? Are you an INFP? We have a lot of those around here… and incidentally, I’m one. 😉

Hey! I’m doing the Rooglewood…[Read more]

@salome01w4g I’d never heard about Egoscue before. That seems pretty awesome!

Exercises certainly help me. At least the right ones do. I had an old chiropractor recommend an exercise that really didn’t help any. I’ve got two I do now though, each three times a day, and they really help. I’m probably about 80% better.

@SeekJustice Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Little Dorrit, and Nicholas Nickleby (though that one is creepy on the villain side even for Dickens). Also Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, which though not technically a classic, should be one. 😛

@salome01w4g By “cut on you,” do you mean perform surgery? That’s not necessarily true. My chiropractor gave me an x-ray because he was pretty sure there was something skeletally wrong with me, but he believes you should only get surgery if you have no other options. The idea behind an x-ray is that it can help identify your root problem. Oils and…[Read more]

Divine Comedy is in a tier unto itself in my book, but be aware that it takes a couple readings to fully get the book. I recommend Anthony Esolen’s translation of the work. After that, my Romantic/Realist triad of novels I like to recommend are Crime & Punishment, Pride & Prejudice, and Frankenstein.

@salome01w4g Have you gotten an x-ray?

@seekjustice

1. The Count of Monte Cristo
2. A Tale of Two Cities
3. Ben-Hur, Cry the beloved country, anything by G.K.Chesterton.

If you’ve read the lord of the rings, you should read the Silmarillion too.

Oh, and definitely read crime and punishment! You may like The death of Ivan Ilych as well.

There are more, but those are enough to start with.

@salome01w4g I can totally sympathize. I used to have bad back problems. I still have some pain, but I’m mostly recovered. Feeling discomfort after 30 minutes isn’t abnormal, but if you’re in pain from sitting that long, it sounds like you have back issues. I find that those ball chairs are more comfortable than normal chairs and standing is…[Read more]

@salome01w4g I worked up to it.

@dragon-snapper @jane-maree @winter-rose @graciegirl @ethryndal @salome01w4g I’ll be writing till 8:15-8:30

@Ethryndal yep, pretty much.

@CK4always my favorite color is any shade of red. 😉 Particularly scarlet, though crimson is close second.

Tall, yes. Pointy ears, probably. I like elves to be generally good, but a bit aloof. Grave in council but merry in company. Basiclaly, I like Tolkien’s elves and I don’t want anybody to reimagine them. If they do, they should create a totally different creature.

@Allison-Grace depends. What’s the tone of their culture? Small and delicate? Merry? Grave? Both? Wise, or simple? Shrewd, or peaceful? Really you could make anything work, but that’s one thing to consider. 😉

Welcome to the site @CK4always! Glad you found us. 🙂 What areas are you looking to grow the most in writing?

@salome01w4g Yes.

@hannah Yes.

@catwing Yeah, I think I know which other scene you mean. *cough*

@julia-r Okay, I gotcha. I just didn’t want everyone to think I almos bit your head off or something. 😀
By the way, everyone, Julia is a great sister and is my main go-to for writing suggestions. I would never get upset at her for giving me lots of suggestions.

@his-instrument: I meant that as, “I felt like I was being super annoying to you and I’m proud of you for not getting upset at me”. I probably could have worded that better lol 😀
