Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Would all Ohioans please announce their presence? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 9 months ago
@His-Instrument thanks for the invite, but I’m afraid I shall have to decline. 🙁 My family owns a cabin-rental business and we clean the cabins ourselves, so it’s kinda difficult to get away from, even one of us, even for a day. Thanks for inviting me though. Enjoy yourselves. 😉

@his-instrument Ok, looks like I should be able to make it on the seventh. I’m also available the 21st and 28th and it might be possible I could make it on the 14th, though it would probably have to be in the evening in that case. I’d be willing to teach something too, though I don’t really know what I’d do it on.

Thanks @his-instrument @faithdk (at least I think that’s you, Faith. I can barely see you from way up here though. Haha!)
Yeah, I mostly agree with you, but I’m kinda leaning toward the safe side. It’s hard though, because I have an instance or two where it’s not just a character being frivolous. There’s a reason for it. I don’t think it’s wrong…[Read more]

@daeus
I’m late to the discussion and didn’t have time to read everyone else’s posts, but I’m answering anyway because it’s something I’ve thought about before, so I apologize if I’m just repeating what everyone else said.
This is a tricky subject. I know that many examples of classic literature have quite a few swear words in them, and when…[Read more] -

Okay, Ohio people, check your calendars for January 7th. I want to have another Writer’s Gathering, 10-2, at Lifeway Christian Book Store. Nothing is final yet… I’m still working out the details… but let me know if this works for you all. I’d like to do this before spring semester starts and I lose my mind until May. (Just kidding, I fully…[Read more]

@Jess I am an ENFJ-A (Protagonist).
@perfectfifths, the “A” means assertive. The alternative is “T,” turbulent.
I’ve found that this exercise helps me realize the things I would not have thought of about my characters’ personalities. Like, maybe I feel like I’ve got them figured out pretty well, but then I realize that I wouldn’t have thought…[Read more] -

Okay peoples I’m STUCK!!!! I need a title for a story, but I don’t want to give too much away. So basically it’s based on Jane Austen’s novels and Charles is lord of Birchwood, a magnificent estate. His *cough* comes and well, kicks him out, so to speak.
My sister suggested the title “The Annoying Guest” which would work as a chapter title, but…[Read more] -

@PerfectFifths whoops, missed your tag the first time around. 😛 Hello fellow INFP! 😀 As far as not crying, INFPs are stereotypically just fountains of tears, but that’s not necessarily true. I get sad really easily, but I usually try not to cry just because I don’t like making a fuss, even if everyone else is crying over the same movie… XD I’d…[Read more]

If you don’t want the twins to save another world, how about they go to other worlds to figure out how to fix something (something big, but not apocalyptic) in this one?

@aratrea I hope you’ve seen Flywheel. Q: What kind of character is Vince? A henchman? Bad guy? Neutral? I can’t figure him out.

Unfortunately, Flywheel is still sitting on my to-watch list… >.> =P

@aratrea *gasp* Dooooommmmm…..

I know. xP I really need to get around to watching it one of these days…

You do. And when you’ve watched it, please tell me what Vince is. My sisters and I were talking about it last night and I can’t decide. 🙁 (And it’s driving me crazy)

Haha; I will!

Can I just pop in and say that these are awesome? Because these are awesome. I don’t know how it would work, but it would be really cool to do some kind of compilation of these as a post for the website… or as a contest idea. Hmmmm… *disappears in a brainstorm*

Ohhh, those are really cool! I love the first one especially. 🙂 By the way, I love your new profile picture. Maybe it’s not so new, but I haven’t been on here in a while; I’m just so busy with school. I miss talking to all you KeePers, though. 😉 -

Awwww! I like it! I’d say play with syntax–that’s the lovely thing about poetry. If you don’t need a period or a capital letter, you don’t have to use one. Syntax can become part of the art, so use it. If you have a word that just needs to hang, hang it on a comma. If you want to draw attention to a divided sentence, don’t capitalize the next…[Read more]

You could just call it “Lord of Birchwood.” I don’t know. Just a suggestion. Or you could call it *Cough*, since that seems to be a theme in your story. 😉
What is the genre?
@bluejay Uh oh… even the KP doctor has a cough. D’you think it’s from all that smoke from my melting the chairs yesterday? 😛
Lords of the Will
Birchwood Problems
The Lord of Birchwood
???
*hands you cough medicine* Sorry, that’s all I could come up with for now.
@dragon-snapper Yes, that smoke was terrible. So please don’t do that again. Ooo cough medicine, thank you. You know, if you were nice tempered, I could take you on as a nurse. 😉
@his-instrument Hehe. The genre…hard question since I’m not great with genres, but just think Pride and Prejudice. 🙂
How about “The Will of Birchwood”?
Or does that sound too much like a name???? :S
@bluejay
The title “The Birchwood Will” might work, if you think that “The Will of Birchwood” doesn’t work. 🙂

Hmm…a second on Lord of Birchwood.
hmm, I’m not sure, but here are some questions that might help you choose.
What lesson does the character learn?
What’s one word that could sum up the story’s conflict?
Is there anything extremely unusual about your characters or the situations they find themselves in?
What are common words used in titles for the book’s genre? (romance, I assume.…[Read more]
