Ingrid

@ingridrd I was so disappointed with Mockingjay. On endings. I think that even sad endings should have some element of hope, sacrifice, justice, or something uplifting to shine through the tragedy.

@daeus Thanks for the cookie! 🙂

Eh, what’s that? *yawns and stares sleepily at the topic* *sees cookies and perks up*
@Daeus You have cookies? Can I… *inches closer to cookies* *snatches one and gulps it down*
Okay, all silliness aside, this is a great topic @kate-flournoy @Daeus @ingridrd. Great thoughts, everyone! Daeus, great point about the ending having to relate to…[Read more]

@Daeus I would put my stamp of approval on that entire post, but I’ve had some trouble with that in the past, so I think I’ll leave it un-stamped…
Awesome post just the same. Very good points, both you and @Ingridrd.

On the topic of theme and endings, I have found that working a story simply for the purpose of presenting a clear theme can be…[Read more]

@ingridrd Oh good, you joined in on the fun.

Generally, you do want to fulfill what the reader expects. I don’t think this always needs to be the case though. In my novella, I had this guy who was probably my most prominent character who ended up deserting everybody at the end of the book and basically leaving them to die and I never say what…[Read more]

@ingridrd and @bluejay we must be twins with different ages and different parents. 🙂

Haha There’s a story idea for you. Only we’d have to be triplets, not twins.
Oo I love Emily Elizabeth Black’s music too. I can play one of her simple songs on the keyboard, but my younger sister is much better than me.
🙂 😛 😀

Everybody got a copy yet? We should try to get started here soon.

‘I hammered into Google
‘Christian writing teens’;
It brought me to this awesome site—
The website of my dreams.

Excitedly I clicked the link,
And had a look around.
I eagerly perused the forum
And squealed at what I found.

I made myself a member
Without a second thought
Sometimes that ends in trouble
But this time it did not…’

@writefury @ingridrd and I finally did some Book Spine Poetry 🙂 🙂 🙂

@hope I’ll be completely honest and say that I was pretty proud of the names when I came up with them… How are you saying them? I say it ee-on I can see what you and @ingridrd mean about Eon’s emotions needing to run deeper. I have a hard time displaying emotions in my writing. Always have. But I shall work on that.
I also agree about Millenia.…[Read more]

Oh you’re still plenty weird, @ingridrd— it’s just we’re weird with you! 😉

I dubbed thee…

@ingridrd: Ingrid the Gracious, Duchess of Sweet Dreams

@daeus: The Great and Wise Lamb

~ Lady of Sunny Smiles and many other overly generous titles, of Ackten, of the KeePers of the Realm.

How exciting!!! *slips on hoodie and gives staff a twirl* Hmmm…

@adry_grace: Noble Linoness

@gretald: The Peaceful One

@ingridrd: Duchess of Sweet Dreams

~ Lady of Sunny Smiles, of Ackten, of the relam of the KeePers.

@ingridrd Oh please keep talking! Thanks for jumping in and sharing! That is a scary dream though. Aren’t dreams weird. Especially the vivid ones. Oh my, I just remembered a dream I had that I thought would make a fantastic story! A young woman had just married a man and they had moved out west, but he was unjustly accused of some horrendous crime…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy, Lovely thoughts! 😉
@daeus, Oh, yeah. I struggle with showing and not telling when I’m writing. A lot. @ingridrd and I were looking through some of our novel chapters after the convention, and we found soooo much telling…Thank God for rough drafts!

Nice @Faithdk and @Ingridrd— love ’em both! Here’s mine for that one…

She’d not seen his face since the day of the burning.
She’d never thought to see it again.
But there he was. Standing across the street, staring at her. She knew him by his eyes. Even in the black mask and vested uniform of the Patrol she knew those eyes— inten…[Read more]
