Wow. *jaw drops* Is that a snippet from your WIP? @kate-flournoy

@That_Writer_Girl_99 here… have a snippet to give you a few ideas.

That was it. They could do whatever they liked about him. But they were not going to touch Denholm. A murderous spark ignited at the base of his throat, and suddenly a great warm, eager humming swelled and filled his mind, pressing outward through the boundaries and seeking an…

Alright. @daeus

Me too. @daeus

Boom. Kate wisdom. Love it. @kate-flournoy

@That_Writer_Girl_99 ha! 😀 I can get on board with that… *stands heroically on the verge of a deserted island with the wind streaming through her hair and her weird Jedi robes* May the force be with you. 😛 😉

Ahhhh… yes. Elemental fight scenes. *laughs* I can so relate. The MC of my WIP is also a fire Elemental, though not in the same way…[Read more]

*looks over your shoulder* Where can I buy one of those guides? @graciegirl

On a side note, I’ve decided to start calling you Jedi-Master Kate. @kate-flournoy

Not really.

I…*sighs* Have you ever seen the animated TV show “Avatar: The Last Airbender”? The “bending” on that show is based off of four different forms of Chinese martial arts. That’s how I’m picturing the Elemental powers–what they’ll be like–will be used.
Kara uses fire as an extension of her body. It’s a part of her she can’t even…[Read more]

@GracieGirl yep. And it’s usually the protagonist. *scowls*

Also, I named the character I chose her for… Ira Netzen. *grins* This poor girl is going to have such a split personality… 😛 XD

Is it bad if I know who my “ONE character” is, even though he hasn’t entered the story yet? @graciegirl

@That_Writer_Girl_99 well, any backstory you might want to fill in. Hints at the Warden’s involvement with the Elementals. (Which could also double as foreshadowing). Stories about the Catastrophes… little pieces of silence to fill in the things that Matthias knows, as a spy of the Warden, but isn’t allowed to tell the others. Just to deepen the…[Read more]

Also, their conversation would be a great way to say a lot of things about the way things really are in the prison by not saying them. Good dialogue illuminates what people are not saying, I’ve heard it said, and I agree. There’s more in what’s not said than what is.

Huh. Good point, but…things like what? @kate-flournoy Also, thank you for s…[Read more]

@I-J-Anderson It is beyond me how anyone can be so stinkin’ good. WOW. Your talent is unbelievable.

Kate, I’m popping over to the novel excerpt forum to read your reply. I had work this morning, so I couldn’t answer when you commented. @kate-flournoy

I’d be careful if I were you. If Kate’s character is anything like her maker, she’ll be mischievous… @graciegirl

@Graciegirl Oh yes, I shall certainly pray for her. Moms have a hard enough time as it is, with out additional stress to make things worse. And I’ll be praying for you too; I know what it’s like to watch your mom struggle, and have to stand on the sidelines, unable to do anything to help.

@GracieGirl Oh, definitely. I’ll be praying. Aren’t moms amazing though?!

@GracieGirl NO! MINE. *snatches and glares*

XD Okay… I guess… *reluctantly gives her to you* Take care of her though… and if she acts weird on and off, don’t worry, because for me she’s a villain. :’D

@GracieGirl ah, yes. Homeschooling, as wonderful as it is, can definitely be stressful at times. I’ll be praying. 🙂
