and Hi @lady-iliara

*sighs with relief*

Anyone who’s ever been a henchman knows how hard it is. You can’t have any human motivations at all! The main bad guys gets all of those. And you pretty much only get one personality trait, on a really good day. Usually none. And then you just have to wait for the hero to dispatch you in the final…[Read more]

Hi @shannon

So bestistest is a word! *Grins gleefully*

Why, thank you

Stan is really touched

Not a lot of people like him

I mean, he is really ugly, but he’s also very kind

And that’s a hard quality to find in a dragon sometimes

Yes! I play the guitar

*Notices the guitar in your picture*

I haven’t been playing it for that long

I…[Read more]

Most likely because of poisoning or contamination of some sort.

There would need to be constant danger of being there, which kind rules out infestations of vicious beasts or something similar where people could come back and exterminate them.

Maybe the war was so violent it drove everyone out, and the fighting was so severe it permanently…[Read more]

@ethryndal To be honest, even though I’m not the most active forum member, it seems like you’ve been around for a lot longer than that. 🙂 So glad to hear about how much this forum has helped you in your writing life!

@dragon-snapper XD Not that kind of frog. The natural frogs are good. Like Frog and Toad, you know? I like Frog. He’s an ENFJ. Or an INFJ. He’s nice either way. And Josiah the Wiser’s pet isn’t bad.

*cough* I said it because she was speaking French (Bonjour!), and French people are commonly (or were, and maybe just by Brits…) known as Frogs.…[Read more]

@lifeofkatie I think I’ve got it fixed.

@lifeofkatie On the button?

I’m writing a romance…I’m not sure if I’m following the rules, @daeus. But it’s going ok in my brain. So. YEAH.

#PANTSING!

@daeus Fair enough.

@lifeofkatie *eats all the ice cream*

@emma-flournoy I won’t tell Josiah what you said about frogs. *mourns over frogs*

@perfectfifths. Hmm. I just noticed one day that it was true because…I noticed it.

@dragon-snapper

The thing I don’t like about romances is that they are fake. They make them too emotional. People aren’t like that.

They are so totally fake, but I don’t actually think people are any less emotional. They’re just less cheesy about it. ……[Read more]

Yikes! These tags aren’t working. Let me try again. @shannon @emily @winter-rose.

Okay! How about this?

My point is based on a principle I’m going to call Daeus’ principle just to stroke my vanity. This principle states that if you know at a certain point in your story you can get a reaction out of your reader, do not have any of your characters react at that point or the reader will not react. For instance, if you think you can get your rea…

@Ethryndal This place would not be the same if you had not come. Nor all the peeps on it. NOPE. So we can all applaud God with a fury for what He’s put together.

And it’s really great on the writing side of things too. 😛 Because it’s wonderful to know how to write well, and KP sure does brilliantly putting out the learning.

*poke*…[Read more]

@daeus That is a really interesting principle. How did you come about thinking of that?

@jane-maree @shannon @emily @winter-rose @ingridrd @lifeofkatie Thanks. I’m working on a revision. I’ll get back to you sooner or later. 😀

@ethryndal Awe, yay!!! It’s been great getting to know you, and what a wonderful 1-Year-Anniversary post. 😀 *doesn’t cry* (What do you MBTI peeps say about INFPs here? 😛 )

*dances around in glitter* So pretty! *sends you a kangaroo and a wallaby*
