@jess That’s sweet. I always wanted to do that. I did fencing for about 2 1/2 years as a foil and did a little informal study into the rapier, small sword, and broadsword. Of course, fencing isn’t entirely true to traditional sword fighting, but the basics of it are still the same. Do you do medieval broadswords, rapiers, other? Ever done it with…[Read more]

@daeus Yours actually describes me pretty well. Right now I’m a conservative independent who leans a bit libertarian.

That’s okay- I think I might have found some helpers anyway. Maybe we should start a forum for locating the beta-readers for particular WIPs. Is that a thing yet?

Christian, Jeffersonian Republican, Conservative Republican/Libertarian, Antifederalist.

And along with Kate’s note, please don’t get too carried away and allow this to become twenty-page topic since I’m supposed to keep an eye on all comments as a moderator.

@jess Really? Is it fencing, traditional sword fighting, stage fighting, or some sort of modern swordsmanship?

I’m a conservative Republican, too. And I agree with @kate-flournoy about keeping this topic…respectable. 😀

@Mark-Kamibaya ha! That’s hilarious.
No one holds it against you. 😀

Conservative Republican as well.

This topic could get highly controversial, so in advance, let’s all be polite and courteous to each other, dear KeePers, no matter the differences in our opinions.

Ugh. Weird.

@The-Bean another INFP! Wow, we’re everywhere! 😀

That cult is weird.

@Sarah-H it’s very possible they believe that, and I think that’s disgusting. However, in my experience most dragon legends come from dinosaurs. How much have you read on that? It’s actually fascinating.

You know it’s kinda weird because the real world is where our characters aren’t that real, but then we enter the writer’s world where are characters are people just like us and then when something happens in that world we get to the real world of writing and emotions. So strange.

@Bluejay YES. And that, dear girl, is the reason I write. The r…[Read more]

Sorry I missed you @jess. I’ll hopefully be writing tomorrow if you are around.
@sarah-h Are we writing tonight?

@emma-flournoy I’m not sure it is going to be all right. He’s DEAD. *weeps harder* Just wait till you read it. I’ll have you all crying buckets of tears. At least I hope. I mean it would be dreadful if Ernst died and you didn’t shed even one tear.
@kate-flournoy Thanks for the warm welcome. I’m not sure I like the real world. You know it’s kinda…[Read more]

Nope, we’re good. *grins*

See @Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise, this is what I’m talking about. Talking like this in front of normal people— like they know about the people inside your head and actually believe they’re as real as they are to you. 😀

@Bluejay well now you’re stuck. Tears are the point of no return. Hope you never had any delusions…[Read more]

Corissa/Anne I don’t know if I’ve ever asked myself that question. I might have. I ask myself a lot of questions, but can’t generally remember them.

@kate-flournoy Well, I’m not sure I’ve ever said it like that, but I was weeping yesterday because I had just killed one of my characters. I hated doing it, but he kinda just made it happen. It was who he was. When I had finished writing it, I wanted to delete that part and bring him back, but I’m not sure Enrst would be too pleased with me. Oh…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy *hands you WD-40* Here, spray this all over yourself. He’ll like you then.

I’m really sorry about that, by the way. If you want me to have a talk with him, I can.
