@gabriellemassman Mmm… yeah. Boy, I love that. I’ve got some basic ideas, but I can’t wait to do an in-depth brainstorming session and let my imagination run wild.

The bestistest thing is just something I came up with once and ever since then it’s been a tradition to greet people that way.

@audrey-caylin Good question; sounds like I didn’t make it clear enough. The idea is to share something like a plot outline where you briefly sketch out each of the major five character arc scenes with a couple sentences and explain how you plan on sketching out the big-picture view of your character arc.

@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. 🙂

@audrey-caylin Close. It’s bestistest.

Ooops, or third, apparently. XD

Hello, Gabrielle! Let me be second to welcome you. 😉
I’m actually a fellow Tolkienite and I had never read that poem… I just went and looked it up and now I’m choking. THAT. IS. AMAZING. I have a new favorite. Thanks so much for recommending it!

And your book sounds lovely. Welcome to KP. 🙂

@dragon-snapper Ah, a dragon is never late.

Hi, @gabriellemassman! I’d like to officially welcome you to the bestistest place on the internet. Hmm, tough thing balancing this with time management, but at least whatever time you do have for here will be well spent.

Hey, tell me more about your story. It sounds neat. I’m hoping to write some fantasy soon, so I want to hear about your…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy @anyone-else Ok. I’m doing the writing thing.

@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.

@hannah-krynicki
No problem! I hope your novel is going well. 🙂 Let me know if you have any other questions. 😀 British culture is simply fascinating (especially the accents; I LOVE British accents!).

For those of you surprised they didn’t do better, thought I’d point out that this test is a knowledge quotient test, not necessarily a judge of how deep your vocabulary is. Most of the words on that list I could have figured out just by dissecting their roots, but as I was supposed to click the ones I knew I let them lie. Also, though this…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin Ha; that makes sense. There is a fair bit of overlap between these two questions. And that’s awesome. The more you as an author see your characters as real people and write like that, the more your readers will see them as real people as well. Glad to know I’m making people excited about homework. 😉

@ethryndal That looks great! Haven’t read the book myself, but you seem to have analyzed its theme well.

@dragon-snapper Cool; I may have to read that myself sometime. The focusing question may be stronger as just “through means of revenge or forgiveness,” but not having read the short story itself, I couldn’t say for sure.

Ha; I’m sure you are…[Read more]

@faithdk Quite an accomplishment. 😉 I congratulate you.

@dragon-snapper No. His logic was false. It only applies to him because it was a self report.

@emma-flournoy You win a tour of the galaxy!

@dragon-snapper It is too!

@emma-flournoy Ok, Obi-Wan has three statements there. Plug statements two and three back into statement one.

@dragon-snapper @emma-flournoy No, I’ll prove it! Here’s direct quotes from episode III.

Obi-Wan: Only Sith deal in absolutes

(about 30 sec later)

Obi-Wan: Chancellor Palpatine is evil!
Anakin: From my point of view, the Jedi are evil
Obi-Wan: Then you are lost *face grows ghostly and wrinkled like Palpatine’s* *cackles manically* *flies away on broom*

@emma-flournoy Well, the thing about Obi-Wan is that he’s actually a sith, but I don’t think you’ve watched episode III, so you wouldn’t know that.
