@timothy-young Like others mentioned, I think that’s a hard FQ to make work for a historical event. The question Daeus put down (“what is poetic justice if good people are so often punished?”) may work as a much better FQ for that story! If I were writing about that event, I would probably focus the story on the problem of evil and what it mea…[Read more]

@aratrea This lesson taught me so much! I have one question before the homework: In my fantasy book (still in the outlining process), I’m drawing the theme and message from my own experiences, and I have one major event in the story based on my own life. I’m a missionary kid, and my main character also moves to a foreign land. From there, not much…[Read more]

@timothy-young Yes, Kate is right. Some real life events are complex and it requires an intricate understanding of their complexities to be able to approach them from the right angle.

I think the essence of your question is “what is poetic justice if good people are so often punished?” The answer is that God is handling all the people in the…[Read more]

@Timothy-Young welllll… considering that the whole point of storytelling is that it mirrors real life, trying to assign your own interpretation to a historical event for the purpose of making a thematic point can be dangerous. My advice to you would be, don’t try to fit a real event into a pre-existing framework, but study the event until you…[Read more]

It looks to me as if the Catholic side was still taking part in the war even when they pretended peace. So technically they weren’t fulfilling any of the two right answers. They were the ones who attacked, so they continued to take part in the war. You can write it in such a way that the massacre is the consequence of the Catholics refusing to…[Read more]

Now now girls. *wise look* Let’s not sabotage the thread, here.
@GracieGirl @Ethryndal in all matters regarding my story, refer to my agent, @Emma-Flournoy. 😛

Beautiful artwork, everyone.
And can I just say I’m extremely pleased that the artsy side of this community is getting such good development now? Carry on, wonderful pencil-wielding KeePers. 😀

@anne-of-lothlorien The answer is always yes. 😉

Um, @cloudy I wanted to know what bloody fingerprints looked like because they’re in my WIP and I wanted to describe them better than ‘bloody fingerprints’ so I waited until the next time I was bleeding (hangnail) and smeared some on my finger and pressed it on the paper.

You know you’re a writer when you feel smug because your notebook is stained with real blood and your friend only has fake blood stains on hers.

(That’s me and @hope by the way)

@graciegirl I might come back later, but right now I can’t seem to get any words written. 🙁

@dragon-snapper
Did I mention I hate tags?

*eyes dragon-snapper suspiciously* How do you fit in the cars?
I guess I can be resigned to a dungeon with roller coasters. Actually someone should rescue me after a day or two still, because fun as it is, I’m sure all that looping and high speeds can’t have an exactly positive affect on me.

@anne-of-lothlorien I love rollercoasters!!!!
Anyways…*ahem* There is no one to help you now, Lady of Lothlorien! *puts you in dungeon which has lots of roller coasters*

@graciegirl I’ll join you, but I’m not sure how long I’ll be here. 🙂

@perfectfifths WHAT? No roller coasters!? I love them! Half of the people who are convinced they would hate them end up loving them. Ask my younger brother.

@dragon-snapper We beg of you, don’t! Someone, anyone, save us! King whats his face, Australian knights, dragon-tamers, anyone!

@anne-of-lothlorien I believe I would just melt it, and throw you in my dungeon.

Would you rather have to carry your manuscript with you on a roller coaster or on a boat ride?

@perfectfifths You have great courage. I just got a new notebook and I can’t imagine ruining it like that.

@perfectfifths
I don’t like tags.

@dragon-snapper?
