@graceofspades2017 Greetings, fellow scribbler! I was confused by the term “bestisest” when I first introduced myself a few weeks ago. You’ll soon agree with everyone that the Kingdom really is one of the best places on the Internet. 🙂
What is your favorite character in Narnia?

@Dragon-Snapper wow… you want the whole list?? 😛
Well, to sum it up, I love action movies with great plots, and I also adore movies with superb character and relationship development, and I’ll die for a movie with a dynamic, well-executed theme, but it’s so seldom I find even two of those in the same movie. Rogue One has all three.

@graceofspades2017 lol. I should stop guessing people’s personality types. If I think through it, I’m always wrong. I can only ever get people’s types when I’m minding my own business and my brain randomly tells me what so-and-so is.

@graceofspades2017 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

I really don’t think there’s anything so helpful to a writer as a forum like this. You’ll love it, as I see you already do. I think everybody on here will testify that the community on here has been key in their writing growth.

And…are you an ENFJ?

@graciegirl Yep–been there, done that myself! And I agree. Sometimes you can get away with stories that have little meaning if the story itself is really well-executed (Force Awakens would fall into that camp for me), but even then, it only works because it has some meaning, and 9 times out of 10, the story would be improved if themes were more…[Read more]

@Ethryndal of course.

@Mariposa *gapes* C…colored p-pencil???????? *gawks* W.O.W. 😛 You are truly talented.

@Mariposa welcome to the Kingdom! 😀 😀 😀 Dinosaurs are fascinating. I prefer dragons myself (as you can see, I am one. 😉 ) but dinosaurs are the next best thing.
And your art is really good. What medium do you use?

@sleepwalkingmk Looks like you’re at the right place then if that’s your goal. 😉 Being able to spot it in books is a great first step. That should help you make a lot of good connections as you move through the course and can compare what you learn here to what you’ve seen in those books.

Welcome to the site @mariposa! Awesome artwork. :O And I love the Spurgeon quotes. Are you still working on that second dinosaur book or are you already planning your next work?

Awesome! Glad to have you. (And your dinosaur, of course. Sounds very handy.)

@dragon-snapper I’ve heard about it. Is there a trailer yet? I have mixed feelings about the books, but I want to see the movie if they do it well.

@Mark-Kamibaya I know. 😛 One tiny bit over the limit and my brain is guaranteed to be fried for the rest of the day. XD
Hey, it’s all good. It wasn’t irritating; or if it was I didn’t notice. I’m not thin-skinned enough to be irritated by other people’s strongly stated opinions. 😉 Perhaps I should be more sensible of that… 😛

@Dragon-Snapper what @FeedingMyGoldfish said. 😀
I’m afraid I know next to nothing about singing at all— I just love to do it and so I do, and I’ve learned along the way. I did look up a few tutorials on breath control starting out, but otherwise it’s all just been trial and error— and practice. *evil smile*
I guess if I had one piece of…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya my apologies. 😉 I was also operating on a low battery when I wrote that, so it’s probably not as clear as it could have been.
You got it though. And you’re right, I didn’t realize that was what you’re saying, and if that’s the case there’s no debate, because I totally agree. 😛

Woah, guess this forum thing likes me.

@graciegirl Ha! Yes, exactly what I was thinking. 🙂

@graciegirl Ha! Yes, exactly what I was thinking. 🙂

@graciegirl Yes, I think it helped me see my insignificance and… at the same time my significance, if that makes sense.

@Mark-Kamibaya I couldn’t disagree more. Excuse me. *slightly embarrassed cough*
That is, the article is well written and makes some really good points in support of it’s perspective.
It’s just the perspective I disagree with.

The article is perfect if story material is to be derived only from studying other stories, and if the only test of a…[Read more]
