Hope Ann

@hope Ah yes, you’re the one who I’ve heard from a trusted source on this thread that has, and I quote, “all the weapons, even a sword”. I stand in complete awe. And good luck on NaNo! I don’t know how you people can take the stress. If I were to do it, my family would probably lock me in the closet out of self preservation…:)

@ingridrd Thank…[Read more]

Oh, no! @Hope used the only excuse I could think of. *racks brain for any more ideas* *isn’t able to think of one* *stares at floor with hands clasped* Ummm…hi.

I’m late.

Welcome, @ethryndal. When I grow up, I’m gonna be an elf…just like you! Seriously though, you sound like a pretty awesome person. Can’t wait to get to know you better.…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you’re so distracted planning a plot twist that you unwrap a Starburst, put the candy in the trash and the wrapper in your mouth. Then you spit it out and make a disgusted face, then morph into making faces that your MC could make when he’s poisoned.

You know you’re a easily distracted writer when you start out…[Read more]

@Daeus Now you have to write the rest of that story. Interesting. I’ve never written second person, but maybe I’ll try sometime. AFter NANOWRIMO.

@Ethryndal I can’t call you Ehtryndal on your tags or it won’t tag you. But I might otherwise. Ehtryndal. Ehtryndal. Ehtryndal.

@sleepwalkingmk We’re all insane here, so we could understand an insane…[Read more]

@Ethryndal (I had no trouble spelling it @writefury. Nyah.) I’m late so I’m going to squint and pretend no one else is here

Welcome to the bestiestiestest place on earth! We’re all mad here. *cat grin* BTW that quote has been used so much on here. I wonder if someone could count them all.

I. Want. To. Be. An. Elf. I. Love. The. Lord. Of. The.…[Read more]

@bluejay @overcomer @kate-flournoy @daeus @winter-rose @hope @jess … Heh… *looks around guiltily* Sorry I haven’t been around guys. I think it’s time to get back into it, though. Anybody want to have a go with me?

@daeus @kate-flournoy Huh. That sounds like such a good idea. I’m gonna try that tomorrow. 🙂
@kate-flournoy Yes! I think of many things in my own life as a story. I base characters off of my family members without realizing it, include pieces of dialog from our conversations. I’m gonna have to start carrying a notebook more often, though. I…[Read more]

I agree. That does work well @hope.

@hope @Daeus – Yes, I agree with the villain things you said. I always like the point that villains aren’t born with an insatiable desire for world-dominance. Something has to instigate it. Besides being born with sin-nature like everyone else, we don’t really have villains from the cradle.

@kate-flournoy – I do like being able to hop from…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya – So, I came on here and was scrolling down the list and saw movies that I’ve seen but I never thought others would. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers to name one. Some of my favorites are

– The Princess Bride
– Beyond the Mask
– How To Train Your Dragon 2
– Ever After (the best Cinderella movie I’ve ever seen! Really good you should…[Read more]

Yes to the villain things, @Hope @Daeus. Also the Kylo Ren example is a little more drastic than we usually deal with— after all, we’re usually dealing with humans, not jedi, and humans can have compassion without completely ruining their reputation as a bad guy because compassion is just compassion, not ‘the light side’. But good example just…[Read more]

@hope – That’s okay. I’m at my grandma’s house, and I can always reload on sweets here. You are right about the extra words. I still haven’t gone home yet, so no writing been done today, so I might only have the evening to write. Ah, what’s another late night in the grand scheme of things. I think my whole life has been training me for NANOWRIMO.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper – Yes along with all my metal thingys in my pockets I usually have paper and a pen and pencil. I don’t carry notebooks in my pocket because they get bent. You carry a saddlebag around? I carry a backpack to basically everywhere, even church, but it’s so cool! @corissa-maiden-of-praise has the same one I do, and instead of things…[Read more]

I’ve been studying up on theme. Especially in movies. So I was wondering if you could give: Two movies that have, in your opinion, extremely powerful themes. If you could also give why those movies have such great themes or how they made the theme awesome then that would be even better.

Now I’m not talking about themes like “Peace is better than…[Read more]

I’ve been studying up on theme. Especially in movies. So I was wondering if you could give: Two movies that have, in your opinion, extremely powerful themes.

Now I’m not talking about powerful themes like “Peace is better than war because true peace isn’t tainted by man.” That’s a decent enough theme. Great even. But it isn’t necessarily powerful…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy – True about human people. Hee hee. I mean my evil is not a presence/spirit, but a real person with the qualities that human’s normally have.

@kate-flournoy @Daeus – It is so much more interesting to write complex people for villains. @hope had a writing prompt on twitter or pinterest about a villain who is working undercover in a…[Read more]

Oh I forgot to tag people for my question.
@Daeus @hope @corissa-maiden-of-raise @kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @sarah-h @his-instrument @the-bean @sleepwalkingmk @rolena-hatfield @ethryndal @Bluejay @dragon-snapper @writefury

@rolena-hatfield – That sounds cool! What’s the name of your book?

@Hope – What was that @Hope? Did I just hear you got chocolate you’d be willing to share? I’m running out. Dark is my favorite. *bats eyelashes and puppy face*

@Bluejay – I love WWI Hi-Fi stories. What’s the title? (I like knowing people’s titles.) If you want to get exactly to…[Read more]
