Greetings, O Shadow Hawke. Join us. Our joy is immeasurable. We are immensely gratified that such a one as thou hast seen fit to count thyself amongst us… one of us… in madness and the joy of madness mingled together with laughter, that our fellowship may be the fellowship of all things mad and beautiful.

That… was totally weird. I did not…[Read more]

Now why didn’t I think of that?

Another thing to add to this discussion… if you can call it a discussion without any opponents… is that a long conversation, realistically, will wander from one subject to another. Not that it will be rambling, but that one topic will bring up another point that needs discussing, and the conversers (not a word, but who cares) will take…[Read more]

A gentleman by the name of Mark McGuire. He identifies as a platypus. He’ll probably turn up somewhere.

Um…true. That’s true. Yeah. I didn’t think of that. 😛

Hey that’s a good quote, Mark Kamibaya. (Sorry, we have more than one Mark here now) Who said it?
And good point. I like that. That basically sums it up for me.

Whal, ya did a gude job o’ disguising it thar.

Seriously, it fit in seamlessly.

Ah. Thanks anyway. It’s the thought that counts. 😛 Where’d you find the cheat sheet?

Oooh! I love writhe! Actually that probably comes right before citadel on my list. Another good one is snarl— and eon and amorphous and metamorphosis and morph and weepy. Narrow. Strait. Linear. Galactic. Frigid. Squirm. Honor. Humiliation. Anguish. Dizzy. Laughter. Lay (as in poem or song). Riddle. Rune. Glyph. Jagged. Icily. And… are you…[Read more]

Oh and incision. And schism. And chasm.

Balderdash. Rubbish.

Yep, that’s me all over. Except I don’t purposely daydream— I hatch a plotline while I’m in the middle of another novel, and by the time I get around to writing that plotline, the book is already all written out in my head. The thing is to get it down on paper. And often it will change with the writing— hopefully always for the better. 😛

Also remember, Jackson, that the Biblical account of the crucifixion was not graphic in the least. Now, a lot of that may have to do with the familiarity people of those times had with the gruesome punishment of the cross, and so they could appreciate it without context. But even if you are trying to remind your audience of something they are not…[Read more]

Ah… despotism. You’re right, Daeus. It’s so… intellectually cruel.

Another favorite is hoarfrost.

I like Paladin, Rosey. Only when you capitalize it like I just did, it looks like a name…:P

Hey you may have something there…how many trees do you reckon he ruined accomplishing that?!

To add to our collection of demeaning and depressing words… pauper. And waif. And starveling. Which means basically the same thing as pauper… but oh well. Differences, you know.
Oh, and another really, really, really good word, especially for a…[Read more]
