Anne of Lothlorien replied to the topic First or Third? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 9 months ago
I used to ONLY write third person, and I had no idea if it was omnipotent, or omnipresent, or whatever. Still don’t quite remember those. @Daeus what are those things?
But now I write mostly in first person. I like focusing on one person personally better, and it lets me put in weird thoughts that I probably wouldn’t if it was third person.
But…[Read more]

@nataliemarie Welcome to the bestistest place on the internets! (I’ll say it even if others have.) 😛
I’m the other dragon on here, and I breathe fire quite often. *looks pointedly at @kate-flournoy* I’ll tell you quite honestly that chairs and phones are quite fun to melt. But I’ll be nice and spare yours.
So, regardless of chairs and melting…[Read more] -

@bluejay @jess @daeus @kate-flournoy @winter-rose @hope @overcomer
Hello? Yes, I’d like to make an order to write? I’ll aim for a couple thousand words, maybe I’ll be here for an hour or so, who knows. I’m hoping others will join.
Alright, thank you, goodbye.

@kate-flournoy Alright. I’ve decided to take tonight off myself, but I’ll be back next week.
For anyone else though that wants to do a write-athon tomorrow, I’ll be doing it. I just can’t remember what Kate’s normal times are, so I’ll be making up the schedule as I go.

Daeus replied to the topic Coarse language in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 9 months ago
@kate-flournoy True.
Now, here’s a related question I’ve struggled with. Is it ok to read curse words from a script? I’m thinking in a play particularly. The trick is, they’re not your own words, they’re the words of a non-existent character, but you’re speaking them out of your own mouth. I know I did a small study in theater during high school…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm For question one, I’ll answer for the two that I that I feel are important. The other’s I can probably whip up a replacement for. The first is from an antagonist, though not quite villain. He curses another man. It’s not at all necessary to make him appear bad, but it does play an important role as a foil and, more importantly,…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy That is true. I suppose that one would say about a favorite desert, “This is heavenly,” that makes sense. Then it just goes back to Romans 14.
About what @winter-rose said. Yes, we need to be careful; and this too, we need to be sensitive to whom our audience is. Children don’t need their heads in that stuff. Teens don’t need to be…[Read more] -
NatalieMarie replied to the topic So, um, "hi" guys in the forum Start HERE 9 years, 9 months ago
@kate-flournoy, I write basically for both. Sheer enjoyment and how I process things in life. It just depends on what I’m feeling at the time that I’m either on my computer or having a literal pencil in my hand. and of course you can read some of my stuff @bluejay! I should have my blog link on my profile but if not I can always shoot it to you

Hi friends,
I recently received edits from some friends of mine which caught my attention because they pointed out a few instances where some of my characters used coarse language (and asking me to remove them). It was only a few instances (maybe five or so), but I actually didn’t realize I had that many. Now, simply from a pragmatic perspective,…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I swear I will answer you. What you’ve said really sparks some questions of my own. But I’m kind of busy this week (anniversary week of the Bible College)
@kate-flournoy Same for you.

@Kate-Flournoy I’m a big MBTI fan. I used to think it was all bunkum, but I have a friend who uses it a lot and I ended up figuring out how it actually works. I’m probably an ENFP.
