An order of monks who have taken a vow of cheerful chattering.

You have no idea how hard that made me laugh, @Anna-Brie. 😀
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic From textbook to cinema in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 7 months ago

Ah, this is a great topic, @Daeus. I know EXACTLY what you’re talking about— only I never had to go through the transition you’re going through now. My books always started as movies in my head— a visual reference to set down on paper, and I wrote it as I saw it, not as I thought it ‘ought to be written’, if you know what I mean.

I don’t…[Read more]

A merry, cheerful old uncle who wins the heart of his glum, sour, peevish young niece.

And a fantasy uncle (brother to the king and uncle to the prince) who is NOT a usurper. 😛

Ooh… that would be something @Joy-Schmidt. 😀

Good thoughts, everyone. 🙂

Oh @writefury those last two—! Oh man, you need to write those. That would be beyond hilarious.
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Caution: Further Procedure May Result in Allegorical Inspiration in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 7 months ago

Yes, @Belegteleri, totally agree! 🙂 Saying that a man can sincerely serve a false god (nothing more than a delusion of his own erring human brain) and through it serve the one true God in Whom he does not believe is the height of arrogant ignorance.

I’ll hold you to that. 😉

This is so cool. I was thinking lately (something I do a bit of now and then) and I don’t know what on earth set me thinking about this, but I remembered a passage from C.S. Lewis’ ‘The Last Battle’ and I realized something I’d never noticed before… then I was just like ohhhhhhhhh boy I gotta share this on the forum.

Yes— one thing @levipierpont. How on earth did you come up with the fantastic name Gavryn Wickert?!? It’s amazing! 😀

  Wow, thanks! Um… So, the first name was obviously a mix. I wanted it to sound slightly futuristic, so I thought… If one of these random toddlers named Gavin running around grew up, might they name their kid GavRYN? So I thought it was a good idea.
  
  Last name: I love the syllable Wick (or Wic, wicc, wik, and such). One month while I was…[Read more]

    Wow— I’d love to, but I’m afraid I’ll have to decline. 🙁 My schedule won’t allow it. Thanks for the offer, though! 🙂 That’s really cool about the name— names are one of my passions, so I always enjoy learning where they came from and what they mean. 🙂
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic A Writing Game in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 7 months ago

I do— it’s just I’ve been a tad busy! 😉 😛
Here goes.

‘… so she stuffed it in the trashcan and went to have a bite to eat at Chick-fil-a, because that’s how life works.’

My apologies, I think I’m feeling a little bit cynical today. 😛

“You’re crazy.”

Thank you @Jadamae. 🙂
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Boiled Potatoes from Blue Sky in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 7 months ago

A… what? 😛
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Boiled Potatoes from Blue Sky in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 7 months ago

A world where everything is perfect. *Sigh* That would be nice.

Rather boring, think you not? 😛

Oh perfect, @bluejay, perfect! 😛
@Daeus— great. 🙂 😉 🙂 😉 🙂 😉 🙂 😉 😛 😉
And thank you, @writefury, @hope, and @bluejay. All of those are very good suggestions. And I do that too, @hope— the contradictions thing. 🙂 I didn’t use to do it as much, but now I do, and it’s crazy fun.
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Female Protagonists in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 7 months ago

Oh hey @Rolena-Hatfield, we were posting at the same time! And oh yes, definitely interview your characters, I can’t tell you enough how helpful and ridiculously fun it is. 😀
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Female Protagonists in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 7 months ago

w/o any good knowledge on this, I will proceed to ramble – not because I have stuff to say, but because I am wondering what I’ll say. I’m not sure. Maybe I’ll learn something from myself and then I’ll know it betterer.

I cannot tell you how many times I have done that. 😛

That test thing idea is a very good one— I may have to try that. Hm.…[Read more]

Okay, so this is a kinda dumb problem for a GIRL to be having, but I really struggle sometimes to give my female protagonists distinct personalities without either making them too weak and helpless or too strong and overbearing.
I mean, I’ve been doing a LOT better with it lately (don’t ask me why, it’s just one of those things) but I’d still…[Read more]
