Legendaires it is! Thanks guys. 😉

So I was laying down, hoping to rest my eyes for just two minutes, when this idea popped into my head for the name for my street team and I had to get back up and write it down.

Legendaires (a combination of the word Legend and Legionnaires)

Now, what do you think. Honest opinion, everyone. Is it cool, or is it cheesy?

How about a few tags……[Read more]

What does luxooigical even mean? 😉 I like Lightning Team…

I’ve been brainstorming words which include ‘pilgrims’, ‘warriors’, ‘soldiers’, ‘travelers’, and ‘bearers’.

One thing which struck me while reading the beginning of this story is how sound most of the animals’ reasoning seems to be. I’ve read the book, so I know how it ends, but even knowing that, the speeches and talk about overthrowing man seems reasonable and something which would be for the greater benefit of the animals. If I were there, it would…[Read more]

Love it! @winter-rose

Superheroes who’s fears match their powers: one can fly and is afraid of heights; on can control water and hates swimming. (note, not my original idea, it’s from a prompt on Pinterest, but it fit here. 😉 )

I loved it. The prologue was just the right length; any longer and it would be too long but it wasn’t longer. 😉 And I absolutely love the humor. The conversation between the siblings was funny to read, but it did seem to take awhile. Also, when Cerdic asked about the food and Garawyn dumped it from her sleeve, it seemed as if he didn’t know about…[Read more]

Ooo, cool. I might have to do something with this. 😉 Thanks.

Santa Clause gets a couple votes every year. It would be a huge constitutional crisis if he ever won.

I think I just discovered who I’m going to vote for.

In all seriousness though, I honestly don’t know. If there’s a reasonably 3rd party candidate, I’ll likely vote for them. Or I might write in someone like Ted Cruz. I’ve one friend who said…[Read more]

@reaganramm That’s hard…characterization, perhaps. Tips on how to create real unique characters, both in depth ones for MCs and also flatter ones for secondary and minor characters.

@ingridrd Well, they don’t always have to be cliffhangers. I’ve notice with trilogies that, quite often, the first book ends fairly well. You know there is more to come, but it ends with the main point concluded. The second book ends in a cliffhanger and the third book completes it.

Endings are always the hardest for me to write. Not necessarily picking where to end something, but the last paragraph…the last line, that’s hard. Any tips, everyone? Anyone?

@ingridrd What other movie has such great quotes? 😉

*Takes cookie and munches on it miserably* I’ve a cold in my head and can’t think straight. Besides, everyone here has good points and I don’t know if I’ve anything to add.

Except…let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

Don’t make an ending too quick. You don’t want it to drag out, but the reader wants to see how the characters…[Read more]

I’ve dug my book out. Ready and reporting for reading.

Combinations transform into emoticons, but I only know some of the simple ones. : ) (with no spaces) gives you 🙂 for example. ; ) gives you 😉 and : P gives you 😛 Beyond that, I’m not sure though you can look up online guides for all kinds of things.

@bluejay I’ve seen it. I really like the Sherwood films, but was underwhelmed by War Room. Plot wise, it was fragmented. And the theme wasn’t woven into the story as well as in the other movies. It seemed like the plot was built around the theme instead. It was still a fairly good movie, but not as good as their others. Have you seen it?

Welcome, @winter-rose! Wait…I know you, don’t I? From Ravelry and e-mails? Unless you have the same name as my friend… 😉

@his-instrument Welcome! I struggle with writing short stories too…meaning I just don’t do it. 😉 I can’t get anything to fit. Most of my stories are novel length, but I’ve discovered recently that I also enjoy writing novellas. At 20,000-30,000 words, they are long enough for me to write a whole story, but I can get them done much quicker than a novel.

@his-instrument Yes, a dove isn’t very epic. But what about a phoenix?

@kate-flournoy I just completed a theology class with a part about the Trinity this last winter… God is three in one. The different tasks, for lack of a better word (such as salvation and judgment) are attributed to all three persons of the Godhead at different times or…[Read more]
