Yes, there is a contest to see who can say “bestistest place on the internet” first. 😛 😉

@nataliemarie
Hello and welcome to awesomest, craziest place on the internet! Glad to have you here. 😉 I write some poetry, too! You should submit some of your poetry to be published on KP (only if you WANT to, of course). 😀 By the way, what are your favorite books (this is one of the essential life questions that we all must come to terms with)?

@Sarah-H Ok, good stuff here. I guess I mostly agree. We could use some good ‘ole book burnings and all. We shouldn’t think ourselves impervious, yes.

I guess the disagreement arises because it sounds like you are saying we should avoid all darkness whatsoever. I’m not sure that’s exactly what you meant, but if that’s so, I find it problematic.…[Read more]

In my opinion, first person is MUCH easier to write. It’s easier to get inside your protagonist’s head than it is when you are writing third person. I’m actually working on a short story told from the POV of different members of the same family, which I’m writing in third person. I like reading both third and first person, but…[Read more]

@Sarah-H I appreciate your concern and the thought you put into this, and I have to say I agree for the most part. However, once again I believe you are assigning Satan more power than he actually has.
Believe me, I am not ignorant of the presence of evil in literature. I don’t read blindly or blindly accept the worldview of anyone if I see that…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien I haven’t, mainly because I’m not sure how I would go about such a thing. Though I have toyed with the idea now and then. Perhaps the speaker would be telling the ‘reader’ about some sort of past they can’t remember and the reader has to become the hero of the story. Hmm, now that could be a cool idea.

Amen to that @sarah-h

@I-J-Anderson Irish? Oh wow, thanks. *grins* It’s French— Huguenot origin.

Yessssss! People— I love people. I’m not as good at painting them as I’d like to be; still life seems to be easier for some reason, but I love working with people because no two are alike and there’s such room for expression and personality. I love it.

@PerfectFifths good question. The difference between third person and deep third person is that deep third person actually delves into the thoughts of the characters, not just stays on the surface and monitors their actions.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien not me. I mean, I may have done it subconsciously in a few diary entries, but that’s about it. (My diary is a mess of gargantuan proportions from a literary standpoint. Don’t ask). 😛

Deep third person. I write sprawling epics with gazillions of characters, and deep third person works best for those kinds. If I was writing YA or something similar with only one MC, I’d probably choose first for a deep personal connection though.

Welcome to the Realm of the KeePers of the Pen, @i-j-anderson! Ooooh, another writer/painter! What do you like to paint?

@i-j-anderson Welcome! (to the bestistest place on the internet specifically)

That’s awesome you live on a small scale farm. Those are the bestistest. Btw, you don’t happen to know about permaculture, do you?

Hey, you really should post one of your poems. Do you have a favorite poetry style?

My preference? I’m not totally sure, but I think I tend toward third person, particularly omnipotent.

Now from what you’re saying, it sounds to me like you’d do best with a deep third person story. It could be confusing to use first person for multiple POVs (though who know? Might be the next thing.) If you’re used to first though, you might…[Read more]

@mark-kimibaya Either Captain America in Winter Soldier, or Sharon quoting him in Civil War.

@mark-kamibaya It’s from Captain America, Civil War! I can’t remember the name of the girl who said it, though. She’s Peggy’s niece, I believe, but I can’t remember her first name…
