@graciegirl Okay, back.

@graciegirl @daughteroftheking Gonna take a break. Be back in five to ten minutes.

@graciegirl @daugtheroftheking Hi Spaniard and genocide expert, mind if I join you? Very kind of you. I think I will. *starts typing*

@BethanySinkyRoses hmmm… specifically for plot… *wrinkles nose* Hm. Plot isn’t actually what I care about most so most of my favorites… I don’t really notice. 😛
Hm.
If you have a huge chunk of time on your hands, try The Count of Monte Cristo. Also Dickens’ Nicholas Nickleby. I’ll let you know if I think of any others. 😉

@gracie-girl Lo siento. I have to practice guitar. 🙂

Oh, and the best way to learn is to observe. So… read. Basically read. Yep.

@BethanySinkyRoses welp, the resources you already have are great. I learned the hard way— trial, error, and observation 😛 — so I don’t have any others to suggest, but let me tag a few of our more *cough* knowledgeable members and see if they have any suggestions for you.

Aaaaand… I apologize…[Read more]

@Aratrea well sign me up after all, I guess. 😛 If my camera decides it wants to work, I shall try my hardest to get a video. No promises, but I’ll try. ;P

@aratrea Thanks!

One of my characters lives out #1. Her parents are the most important thing to her, so she shows them this in complete and utter obedience of them, basically becoming a slave to them. How would I phrase this in the answer?

I’ve realized that #3 is a quite wide answer. The person for adventure (previous #2) would be living for…[Read more]

@graciegirl As long as it isn’t the full name of any famous person (whether living or deceased), overly abstract or silly, a penname is fine. 🙂

@bethanysinkyroses Yes–that would be fine! Ideally we’ll have people from all over the spectrum–some who have been here for a while and some who have joined recently, so that would be no problem.

@bethanysinkyroses Thanks for that conference recommendation! As Michael mentioned, we’ll need to talk as a team about how much of an investment it’s worth to attend these conferences, but I’d definitely love to attend more of them if we can make them financially feasible for us. I’ll add that convention to our list of potential conferences next year.

@sleepwalkingmk Good set of answers there. I might slightly alter the “family/parents” answer to focus more on the value of family than an un-nuanced approach to obedience, though. Whether you choose to always obey your parents or not seems to be a different issue than if you view them as the most important thing in your life.

How would you…[Read more]

@graciegirl @winter-rose Signing off. I got 1,695 words edited.

@winter-rose Excellent.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 welcome to the club. 😉

Remember, my dear— if it’s plot that’s got you down, let the characters take over and write the story for you.
If it’s discouragement and doubt… let God. He can write a story, remember? Surrender is easier said than done, but once done it’s so worth it. Because as long as it’s your story you’re…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper @ethryndal @northerner @winter-rose @graciegirl @that_writer_girl_99

I’ll be writing.

@Aratrea dah! I would love this but my webcam camera setting is broken and I don’t have a phone. 🙁 🙁 🙁

Unfortunately, @aratrea, even though I’d love to do this, family rules about internet publicity get in the way. Good luck putting it together!
