Kate Flournoy replied to the topic The Mind of a Writer in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 10 months ago
@Daeus ME TOO!! I didn’t think anybody else did that. 😛 Listening to a sermon has become practically hazardous for me now. I’ll get home and furiously race to scribble references and notes and possible foils and different thematic scenarios in my notebook.
And that has at least two other positives, completely aside from writing— it makes me…[Read more] -

@sleepwalkingmk I actually get most of my writing ideas from sermons. I tend to approach my stories by starting out with a very basic plot idea and then filling in the rest of it by coming at it from a thematic viewpoint. Sermons being filled with heaps of good thematic material, I tend to come away with lots of plot ideas.

@mark-kamibaya @michael-stanton
I suppose it would be helpful to a degree. I think the disadvantages would outweigh those however. For one, a person may be super helpful with ten subjects, but not with five and so they would get tagged for stuff they don’t know much about. Also, people would use it too often. Especially considering that the most…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy– Again, that came from Fergus. Fergus is the shieldbearer for Lord McDougal (a total goofball of a lord) and Fergus takes his job deadly serious. He always calls McDougal ‘sir’, he’s always the voice of logic, he rarely smiles and his loyalty is really unmatched. Really, such a serious guy, but he’s the biggest sweetheart. Quite…[Read more]

@Sarah-H I don’t remember… it was a very old, vague account and I read it a long time ago. I think they were somewhere around the size of a turkey, and I don’t think they could fly, though they were said to be very colorful. Fun thinking about, isn’t it? 😀 Greedy, colorful, turkey-sized dinosaurs… XD
I know!
…And it’s really funny, if…[Read more] -

@emma-flournoy– d’awww <3

Character inspiration… that’s a quite interesting topic, actually. Let’s list…

@Writefury yeah. What she said. 😛 We pretty much speak for each other on most things.
Except I’m not sad about the first person POV. *glares at Emma, arches eyebrow* Don’t be picky, sister. Don’t be picky. First person POV can be lovely.And that Studio C is hilarious; I can definitely see how that contributed.
All I can say about Blank…[Read more]

@WarrioroftheRealm 😀 actual reptiles— I just called them magpies because of their hoarding habit.

@Writefury hm… not often, actually. Probably because I write fantasy and scifi and such; completely out of the realm of reality. 😛
That’s really cute though. -

Amnesia is annoying. The poor hero has to find out everything about his wonderful life again and re-meet all the lovely people he knew before, then go to stop the villain.
But what if the life that starts showing itself isn’t wonderful, the people aren’t lovely and the villain is… yourself?
Yes, this thing.
Mm-hmm.
So, a few o…[Read more]

Just sort of on the imagination topic… how much do you guys make reference to something in real life that only you would get in your writings?
Like in my stuff, there are a ton of easter eggs I could list that only me or my family members would get. -

@Sarah-H New Age is one of the weirdest things I’ve ever come across, so none of that surprises me in the least.
I haven’t read the Peleg Chronicles, but I’ve heard a lot of good things about them.
Dinosaur dragons are really fun though. And did you know that there were little tiny ‘magpie’ dragons (in Old Saxony, I think) who hoarded colorful…[Read more]

Could you all pray for my aunt and uncle. They’ve been having marriage problems and are talking of separating to the point of putting there house on the market.
They’re nominal Christian’s who don’t go to church, so we’re trying to get through to them on that front. We’ve been trying to for years, but now it is more urgent.
He’s been struggling…[Read more] -

@Sarah-H Polictics in Australia is a bit complicated at the moment. Both of the major parties are becoming more radical. The ‘convervative’ party is in government at the moment, but our Prime Minister really ought to be in the other party. Also the senate is very hostile, and there are numerous people from strange small parties. More than there…[Read more]
