@RJK Welcome!!! Because this is what I do when I introduce myself on here…

I’m Daeus’s (little) sister.
I like to write, obviously.
I like ice cream and raspberries too. (Daeus can’t be the only one.) Oh, and blueberries.
I like to memorize scripture (see the Scripture Memorization thread if you can find it.)

What are your favorite books?…[Read more]

Peeps? *shrugs* I only say it to be silly.
And yes! Homeschooling!!

*runs in late and stands staring at the gobs of good advice*
I love you people.

@DelightinLife personally, when I’m having plot issues it’s usually a problem with the protagonist. And when I come down to it, it’s usually because he hasn’t got any contradictions. He’s too predictable to do anything unexpected. Every character has something that…[Read more]

@RJK heyyyyy! Nice to ‘see’ you again. 😉 I see you found the introductory topics. *is glad she can give directions* XD

Wow… literally hundreds? *goggles* That’s… awesome? I hope you figure something out. 😛 I thought I had at least dozens, but I counted and came down to fifteen major ideas, so I was glad to find it a little more manageable.…[Read more]

@RJK Hello there! I sympathize with having too many ideas! You like to write screenplays too? I haven’t met anyone that wants to write screenplays. (I think) When did you start writing?
Hope to see ya around the forum! 😀

@graciegirl I think a mixture of conscious and unconscious EiLs is fine because that’s the way people act in real life. Some people know exactly why they do something, and other people don’t. Given that, it’s actually probably preferable that you mix it up some, since that will give you more to work with as you continue to use these EiLs later on…[Read more]

Hey @Rjk! Glad you found us. I see you’ve preemptively shot down my normal first questions on what WIP/genre you write in. 😉 What are some of your favorite books?

Hi, @Rjk,

Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet.

Zikers, that’s a lot of ideas! (You aren’t an ENFP, are you?)

Well, I’m excited to see what discussions you bring up. See you around.

Yes! Finally, I was the first!
@kate-flournoy Your up.

Hey @rjk
Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!
Wow. That is a lot of ideas. If you need help narrowing, I’ve dealt with that before, so I may be of service. 🙂
And we’ve all got problems here. I think the same way you do. If I watch a movie, I try to see how I would describe it.
Again, welcome!

@northerner
Yeah. I have to watch my back at times. There’s a reason I melt chairs. 😛

@delightinlife Well, some lords would have to deal with the problems in their fief. Thieves, disputes, war, and everyday business of running a fief in general, such as selling the stuff that his serfs make, and divvying out his soldiers to the king’s army, and a myriad of other things. Since you have your own story world, you can be really…[Read more]

@arella-noreen *maniacal laugh* Here we go.
1. What is your favorite children’s show?
2. Why did you make a blog?
3. Why did the chicken cross the road?
4. What is your favorite word?
5. How long have you been writing?
Please give us the link to your post, when you post it! 😀

@delightinlife Oh yeah. I totally get you on this.
What I did to fire up my plot was to find a problem among the story world and among the characters. What about the story world could allow for conflict. This character feels this way but the other feels this way.
So first, I’d try to work a bit on your world if you are lacking plot, then you can…[Read more]

@perfectfifths That does make sense. So, lets unpack the reason why Christian Americans like to use the word ‘unpack’. 😛

You know you’re a writer when you literally walk face first into a beautiful spiderweb, then come back inside and say ‘Well, at least I can write about that accurately….”
Yes. That just happened to me.
*shudder*
I can’t stand spiders.

@emily-d Oh, yeah. I forgot about that one, though I’ve definitely heard it. There’s also quite a few others now that I think about it. I can remember them now, but if you’ve ever seen the Secret Life of Walter Mitty, the Icelandian uses a few American Slang words with Mitty.
@perfectfifths They do? That’s funny, I’ve never heard that one. But…[Read more]

@ethryndal I’m honored. *bows*
Anyone else, I’m still on for a while yet.

I’d rather be a lizard with wings than a child, though.
@ethryndal
Friendly debate? 😛 Bye!
