BTW, @radically-surrendered, that makes two of us. 😉

@rochellaine. I think ‘Go for it!’ But I do agree with @dekreel, that something for Keeper’s Corner could be better than a full-sized article. You’re right, I’m not sure if they’d publish something like a grammar article on the website itself, but we’ve had one on the email before. It was about whether the (.) or the (!) should inside or outside…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99, That’s really great advice, Elizabeth, and one of the things that so often get forgotten in any ministry. We get so caught up serving, we forget who and why we’re serving.

@radically-surrendered, This is really good advice, thank you! This is one of the things that has been reflected in my ‘blog brainstorming’ so far.…[Read more]

@dekreel Hmm… good question.
I think a motif is an element that occurs over and over in the story and sort of meant to become part of the story’s theme, whereas a symbol is simply there to represent something. And the theme is the topic your story is focused upon.
So a story’s theme might be forgiveness, and it contains a symbol of forgiveness…[Read more]

@dekreel I think what the article said was that a symbol is something that is seen only a few times as an overreaching message, and a motif is something that is interwoven with the whole story.  In my mind I likened the motif to a knight’s coat of arms, which would be seen on everything, (shields, clothes, furniture, flags,) and the symbol to the…[Read more]

@dekreel Yeah, I guess I could do that, but I still think grammar wouldn’t be considered important enough, since you can probably google a lot of it.  Usually KP likes to publish more general things that are just ideas.  Daeus did do an article on sword fighting once, but even that is more complicated than a little grammar.

@rochellaine  Yyyyesssss… But they’re both technically symbolic objects that represent something. How does one tell the difference?

@dragon-snapper Cool. 😀

@rochellaine  You could do a smaller thing for the Keeper’s Corner if you didn’t want to do a full-size article 🙂

@clairec Okay, I might try writing the article, then.  But I don’t think the people here at KP would think it important enough to publish if I just did a grammar lesson on “thees and thous” so I think I could write it as “how to use slanguage in your writing” and do a small section on old English.  What do you think?  (And I would definitely ha…[Read more]

@princessfoo It was Patty Bride from the Carolyn Wells Patty Fairfield series.  The Patty series is one of my absolute favorite book series. 🙂  If you’re interested in reading the series you can get them free or for a couple of dollars on Kindle, or find most of them online at gutenberg.org and Google Books, because they’re now in the public domain.

@daeus Sort of. I basically took all of your advice and binge-fixed my book. XD So although I didn’t rewrite it, it has drastically improved.

*nods elvishly* I am forever in your debt.

@dragon-snapper Oh, cool. Did you rewrite it?

@clairec I’m not sure what type of advice you’re looking for, so I’m going to dump it here. 😛

If you can make a way for people to follow you, do so. That will help so that people come back to your blog. And make the follow button easy to find. I doesn’t like it when I can’t find the follow button on blogs. Dragon Snapper no like. 😛

But…[Read more]

@dekreel You are infinitely awesome. 😛

And I’m sure your work is fine. The main reason that Sector One jumped from awful to … well, that, is probably @daeus. Thanks Daeus. 😛

@rochellaine, actually yes, that might be good. I didn’t think “I hath returned” sounded right, but I couldn’t figure out why.

Thanks, @gh24682468999, that’s great advice! 🙂 Also, what @rochellaine said. Before you but it in the signature, I was copy and pasting every time I tagged you. Now, no problems!

@gh24682468999 Haha!  It looks pretty scary at first, but the analyzation you have in your signature helped me memorize it pretty quickly. 😀

@dekreel No worries. 🙂  My family uses the KJV, so I’ve been immersed in correct “thee and thou” grammar for years.  A lot of people use it as jokes, to make it sound more medieval or something, but an incorrect “thee” sentence is to me the same as “her and me could have went with they to the game if they’re mom might let them.”  😀

You said “I…[Read more]
