You know your a writer when your siblings have fan moments just talking with you about your book.

You know your a writer when you take notes when your sick, so your characters’ sickness will me more true to life.

@Hope— yes, there does seem to be a trend towards good dragons. Because first there was a trend for bad dragons… and then people started trying to break the cliche… and now that is becoming cliche… so I guess you could say my dragons are bad in anticipation of the flipping of the cliche again. 😛

Okay— not really.

But seriously,…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer if you would give even a moment’s serious consideration to dressing up in full costume and going out just to see how many people looked at you funny.

You know you’re a writer when you mentally rephrase all billboards on the side of the road to sound more dramatic, be more concise, and more grammatically correct.

Yes yes

Oohh, that is good.

Well David wouldn’t assassinate the Lord’s anointed, but there was a judge who assassinated an oppressive ruler who had subjugated the nation of Israel. I haven’t really studied this much, but it appears it might be ok in some circumstances and not in others, though were to draw the line, I don’t know.

Has anyone here seen Studio C? I know someone…I can’t remember who (Ezra, maybe?), mentioned it once.

Has anyone here seen Studio C? I know someone…I can’t remember who, mentioned it once.

This doesn’t quite have to do with my original question…but what are you thoughts about assassination during war. Right or wrong? I actually do have a fairly strong opinion on this, but am curious what you think.

I don’t think writing about aliens would be much different from writing a fantasy race and its history…though they would probably have an oddness that even some fantasy stuff wouldn’t have. A big thing I think would make them real (and strange) would be desires and emotions. Though they aren’t human, I’d think they’d have something they want/are…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Hmm, evil dragons. I know they are bad in quite a few stories, but they’ve always been good in mine so far. It would be fun to have a bad dragon though. Or a bad griffin. 🙂

I’ve not read ‘After the Flood’ yet, but I’m hoping to soon! My sister only just finished it, and she had to share some of the dragon stories with me. I agree. Absolutely mindblowing.

As to writing dragons, I have both kinds. Lizards, and magical dragons. The magical dragons were once only lizardy dragons, but… um… something happened to them…[Read more]

I do dragons, but not like the talking ones. Just the giant lizard animal ones. It’s fun playing with writing the animals that used to be.
Anyone ever read the book “After the Flood”? The dragon stories in there are mind blowing. Like a newspaper interviewing these Welsh farmers about dragons in the area and the farmers saying that they were worse…[Read more]

He doesn’t want you to call Canadians strange

Ah. I didn’t mean canadians. I meant like from-outer-space sort of aliens.
Canadians are not strange.

Nice one, Daeus! That nicely follows on making it look like it was taken for your story. 🙂

Forgot to mention, they also have intelligent looking faces and can camouflage like a chameleon. Their life span is about 20 years. Until they are 2 their scales do not harden. Past the age of 15 they receive the title, “Æglis”. They remain awake all day but immediately go to rest when the night comes.

Funny you should ask. I’ve been wondering that myself. I happened to lend it to a traveling sales man and – well … don’t do that. If you happen to find it though, let me know.

And let me guess, he conquered the universe. Pleas don’t treat me ill Mr. Conqueror of the universe.
