@kate-flournoy So I’ve finished book two now. I know you said it get’s better, but how much better? You see, I’ve almost lost interest in the series at this point. I know, I was just saying how I planned to finish the whole thing, but I guess I can change my mind quickly. One reason is that the books would take me a while to get through, but I’m…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien I wish we could get together and jam sometime. I love writing songs. Your lyrics look great! If you’d like to read some of mine sometime I’d be happy to share them.

@anne-of-lothlorien The second one is Gollum conversing with himself from The Hobbit.
@dragon-snapper Yes, the short villain from The Princess Bride is Vizzini. By the way, there is a book of The Princess Bride, which I highly recommend to anyone who liked the movie. It came first.
Here’s one for y’all: “I had a dream once.”
@Julia-r you’re not…[Read more]

@The-Bean I broke one of those stress balls once, too! Mine had gel inside. Colored gel. And I broke it on our couch, which was fantastic. Now I don’t play with those things anymore, because I always have a desire to pop them (it’s the same urge that makes me want to pop bubble wrap). @kate-flournoy, Silly putty is my go-to if I need to do…[Read more]

@warrior-of-the-realm I’ve been writing songs for about eight years, so I’ll give what advice on lyrics I can.
1) Paradoxes are good. Contrast can inspire emotion in listeners. For example (this one’s a bit cliche, but in my opinion, can’t be overdone): contrasting things like our unworthiness and God’s gift. Jesus took on a crown of thorns, gave…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien Having worked with preschoolers at church for the past few years, I could probably give you a few stories or snippets of dialogue if you want. One thing that I am impressed with is the diversity of personality even among small children. A lot of books tend to stereotype them as clueless, innocent, sometimes annoying little…[Read more]

I hit 42,000! I had a slight setback when my computer corrupted the document that my novel was on, and I spent about forty-five minutes thinking that I had just lost all 33,000 words of what I had written so far. (I started over from the beginning… then, praise the Lord, I found a backup file that had 30,000 out of my 33,000 words on it. On the…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Being the helpful person that I am, I both don’t know and I don’t know.

@emma-flournoy Well, the movie gave the date for his death, so I assume he was real.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien it’s from a very famous comedic fantasy that practically everyone has watched.

@anne-of-lothlorien, yep, I do that. In my current book my MC has a 15 y-old brother who’s an inventor and explorer. He’s not intentionally based off my brothers who are around that age, but there are some strong similarities. Probably less personality wise than in other things, since my brothers are different form each other in that.

@The-Bean according to my observations, yes. But I don’t think it necessarily follows that one must be an introvert to be a writer. Introverts simply come to that more naturally. It’s a ‘safer’ way for them to make their voice heard.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien no, I don’t think I’ve ever based a character off a family member or someone I know. Just…[Read more]

Heyyyy, you beat me to it @Hope.
But we knows the answer to that one too. *nods sagely* Edmund to King Miraz.

‘Nonsense. You’re only saying that because no one ever has.’

Love your new profile picture, @anne-of-lothlorien

Also, the quote is from The Scarlet Pimpernel to chauvelin.

So do I get to go now, or do we wait for you to confirm we are correct? Anyways, here’s my next one.

“So you’re bravely refusing to fight a swordsman half your age?”

Ha! Little siblings can be so creepy. 😀

@WarrioroftheRealm hm… my favorite genre of music is probably traditional Celtic/Scottish/Nordic, though it’s really hard to find genuinely beautiful arrangements of traditional tunes.
And… I don’t have a favorite band. I just dig through stuff and find things I like the sound of. 😛

@Dragon-Snapper um… keep it to myself. 😛 Trying to explain awesome story ideas or plot twists to non writers just never really works. If it’s just too amazing to not tell anyone, I’ll tell @Emma-Flournoy because even though she’s not a writer herself she understands. 😉 I also write it down in my little pocket notebook. I have at least three…[Read more]
