@Ethryndal I don’t generally do that, but sometimes I’ll take what is happening and use it to make a scene more realistic. Like once I was in charge of the house while Mom and Dad were gone overnight, and all the creaking through the night freaked me out, then I used the emotions from that ‘scene’ in a similar scene in a book where a princess is…[Read more]

@The-Bean huh. That’s really cool.

@Ethryndal first of all just let me say this is really weird, because INTJ females are supposed to be as rare as unicorns, but we have at least three on this site— you, @Hope, and @Jess. KP must be a magnet for all things rare and fascinating. 😛

And second of all, I honestly don’t know. If I’m going through an intense emotional phase (of any…[Read more]

@hannah-krynicki
Sorry it’s taken me so long to respond! Life has been crazy. 🙂
Anyway, I can definitely ask my British friends. In the mean time, I’d be happy to try to answer any questions you ask, but if I can’t answer them, I’ll definitely try to hook you up with them. 🙂

@dragon-snapper No, but I’ll be formatting an ebook for another half-hour or so.

Serious?

There. Not serious anymore. No one can take that guy seriously. XD
I think it’s just because we’ve all got political burnout and are used to hotly disagreeing with people on this subject. Thank goodness for KP where disagreement is civil. 😛

But you’re right. We do still have a lot to be thankful for. And God’s sovereignty is very…[Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya yes, that’s a much better way to put it. Great points.

And the sinless Christian stereotype… wow, don’t even get me started on that one. 😛

I heard that Priebus is a Christian. Anyone have a take on that?

@Mark-Kamibaya ‘by their fruits you shall know them.’

In other words… I don’t think so. Same goes for Trump. I personally believe Trump was ‘over the line’, in your words, which is why I wouldn’t have voted for him (or Hillary) even if I had been old enough. But as far as…[Read more]

@SleepwalkingMK absolutely. XD

@Emma-FLournoy @Mark-Kamibaya yes, and you know why older people do that too? They weren’t raised right as kids. They never came out of that ‘everything centers around me’ stage that kids go through because no one ever taught them better.

Okay so I’m very late. Very, VERY late.
But, all the same, I wanted to say WELCOME @ethryndal to the bestistest place on the internet (I have no doubt that you’ve heard that phrase before)! 😉
There will be no judging of insanity here, as we’re all insane, too. 😛 You’re bound to fit in quite well here.
Also, TOLKIEN! YES! TOLKIEN IS…Well,…[Read more]

@SleepwalkingMK

But if his parents let him do everything he wants, then he’ll probably be selfish.

Yes. And this is another thing about writing kids. They interact with the world however they have been allowed to interact. When they’re young they can’t see the reality of everything, so if left to themselves they shape their way however it f…[Read more]

@WarrioroftheRealm wow, this is really not my field of expertise. 😛 I write poems and sometimes turn them into songs in my head, but as far as actual lyric writing goes, I’m afraid I haven’t got much of anything to offer in the way of knowledge or advice. I’ll let you know if I think of anything though.

You know you are a writer when your brother comes into your room, blood dripping from his finger, and asks if you want blood for pictures…

@winter-rose I finished my chapter…around 1000 to 2000 words. Somewhere in there. 😉 I’m done for the night now.

@winter-rose I’ll be writing on and off for the next few hours too. 😉

How did I miss this topic the first time around… 😛 @Lightningmouse those are fantastic. I always found it extremely difficult to master the highly stylized styles, but you did great. I especially love the newest one. 😀

I’m over half done with the nano word count! 29,621 words!
