NC Stokes replied to the topic Cliches in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 3 months ago
@alia *sweeps in with fluttering black cape and lots of maniacal cackling* I’M BAAAAAAACK!!! Sorry I didn’t reply to this sooner. If it a YA novel, then falling in love with the first person they meet that’s their age and the opposite gender is a cliché that must be stomped into a thousand pieces and burned. I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned…[Read more]

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Cliches in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 3 months ago
Whheeee there are some good ones over here. Cliches are so fun to pick on. Some in my list are similar to ones already listed, ’cause I wrote it before I read the thread. I think I’ll change my stuff to the bullet-point method I’m seeing though as it looks way easier to digest than how I wrote my thing.

@jenwriter17 I appreciate being tagged, what with my spotty appearances here. 😛 Is that profile pic new? I love it!
@alia RRRRGGGG I really want to do this… *drags hand through hair* But I’ve got to be fair and say I can’t. I don’t have the time to be consistent with it. Apologies. *clasps hands together*

@Alia I’m just moving here ’cause I don’t wanna sabotage the Writer’s Corner…
Yay that you love the song!
Eh, extra time is ever elusive. I guess that’s better than not having anything to post though. ;P How long have you been a blogger, and how long have you had that blog up?

@Alia Heh, I get that. One of my specialties. So’s eating, come to think of it. *wry grin*
Well I’m fixing to be mainly off the computer for the night, so no, but that doesn’t mean the conversation can’t continue. Just mebbe not totally live-time. 😛 Which I don’t mind in the least.
I’ve just been poking around on your blogs, and der cool. I…[Read more]

I’m up to distracting you, looks like. XD
Hey, I like fantasy novels, kinda-sorta or not. Duh. How long have you been working on this? Is it Decisions? I like the title.
I’m mainly poking around on some blogs I haven’t checked up on in awhile, or that’s what I’m about to be doing. I’ve also been discussing Les Miserables with @PerfectFifth…[Read more]

@Alia Neh, I’m not a writer, remember…just an aficionado and bibliophile with a writer sister who’s rubbed off on me to my everlasting non-detriment. Sorry though, as it looks like you’re needing company. :/ I’ll think of you and telepathically send inspiration your way though, if that’s any comfort! ;P What are you writing?

@dekreel Thank you!!!!!!! It’s the bestiest!! No, I don’t mind at all. Abilene is sort of a black-and-white kind of person anyway. 🙂

Hey @LivGiordano, you were telling me awhile back that I’d like the Little House episodes with Nellie falling in love/getting married. Well we just got to that point, and you’re so right. That was hilarious. XD Percival is awesome.

@seekjustice Katie would rather have to do everything spontaneously. It’s what she does anyway. 😉
@rochellaine Katie would rather cook for two hundred guests. Never mind that she can’t cook, or that her tiny kitchen would never have enough room for all that food, or that she would probably chose to make soothing ridiculously complicated. She…[Read more]

@rochellaine Katie would rather be allergic to all meat. She really loves sorbet. 🙂 Brant would rather be allergic to meat, too. I’ve never really thought about it, but I’m pretty sure fairies are vegetarians. I’ll have to think about that some more… *thinking face* Jasper would rather be allergic to fruit, ’cause she’s a wolf. 😛 Ogden would…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy plus moving here makes it easier to keep track of what on earth the conversation is about
Have you ever listened to Where Were You by Francesca Battistelie?
I think I started my writing blog about a year and a half ago. Broken journey was at the end of May.
Do you have a blog? Or does that fall under you not being a writer?
Quite.
I haven’t, but I will now.
I don’t have a blog, but not because I’m not a writer. I think it’d be fun (and educational, and hopefully useful to others) to blog, I just don’t have time. If I had one, it would probably be a mish-mash of book and movie rantings, telling people to go read Kate’s books, music stuff, general life/spiritual…[Read more]
@Alia
@emma-flournoy, hey, sorry for not getting back to you til now, this past week has been a bit crazy at my house.
thats the thing I like about my blog is that I can post something whenever I have time.
your idea for what you blog would be sounds like something I would read all the time
Nope, I live in the States. It seems as though I get asked…[Read more]
That’s fine, and totally no pressure, I just wanted to make sure you’d seen it. I’ve found that the notification system isn’t entirely reliable sometimes. ;P
Yaaay for flexibility.
Oh, well that’s an encouraging thought. ;D
Huh. I wonder why I thought that.
So your life’s been crazy, eh? Mine too. Seems a generally recurring theme the older I…[Read more]
@emma-flournoy,
I wonder, could the reason that our lives keep getting busier as we get older be at all related to the fact that older people have more responsibility? Mind-blown
It’s strange, I watch my little sisters act as though the day is so long and I’m over here thinking that there isn’t enough time in the day to actually get anything…[Read more]
I know, really. O.o Such shocking revelations.
Precisely that. And in that I fervently hope and pray they relish it while they can, ’cause it sure as sartin’ ain’t gonna last forever.
That makes a lot of sense. I read my Bible early in the morning before the day really starts, but I think a here-and-there throughout the day would be good to add…[Read more]
@emma-flournoy
My mom printed of a ton of bible verses a few years ago and she puts them all over the house. So thats one way that I am able to read scripture all day
Oh yeah, that’s awesome. We do have a lot of that too; sometimes I’m so used to them I don’t really stop and read them anymore, so that could well be a problem. What’s your favorite passage or section? It’s nigh on impossible to choose, I know, and that’s an impossible question, so just, what’s one of your favorites. ;P
Thats the downside of having them up all the time, but my mom changes them every now and then so that keeps me looking at them some times.
One that I often turn to is Psalm 71:1-6
In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;
turn your ear to me and save me.
Be my rock…[Read more]
That’s a great one. One I find helpful is Ecclesiastes 3:1-15.
To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
2 A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
3 A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up;
4 A time to weep,
And a time to…[Read more]
