@anne-of-lothlorien Definitely human. I feel that they can be more complex and rounded that way, not just an average badguy.
And about your lunch, that is hilarious! Although it’s probably not something I would do, it’s still funny. I’d probably say something snappy (hence Dragon Snapper). And yes, I did ask the question, and I can hardly write…[Read more] -

Also please tell me I’m not the only person who enjoys waving at people in other cars while we drive, or smiling up at the drivers of the big semis when they stare down at our huge van in astonishment…
@Kate-Flournoy Nope. You isn’t. 😀 😛

Anne of Lothlorien replied to the topic The Mind of a Writer in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 10 months ago
@Daeus – I wonder if my little brother is the same MBTI type as yours. He calls me and my two little sisters, ‘Honey.’ And he’s TWO years old! The other day my five-year-old sister was working on her writing lesson and my little brother took the pen and said, “Honey, Honey, let me show how to do.” he has a very extensive vocabulary. And I’ve added…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Yeah, I guess writing is almost a bible study tool. I’m not sure it helps me concentrate though. I’m likely to be distracted memorizing my ideas so that I won’t forget them. It was really bad when I got the first two lines of my “On I comes a Dwappaling” poem strike me out of nowhere during a sermon and I kept repeating them to…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Thanks. Hmm…I’ll have to start this notebook carrying. It seems like a good idea.
No you’re not the only one, Kate. I don’t do it all the time, but when my sister got married we had white ribbons on the car and everyone waved at us or gave us a thumbs up. It was lots of fun.

@anne-of-lothlorien I’m afraid I haven’t had that problem, or whatever you want to call that. I really only talk to my stuff, and other people. My conversations are with my things. Its a good thing they never talk back, though, because that could get interesting.
@writefury Well, my writing is littered with it, though I can use a sentence every…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy How cute! That’s so funny.
You’re right! They would probably classify it with the triceratops. 🙂
Have you heard of the pterodactyls in Indonesia? They glow in the dark, and people are very superstitious about them. It’s so strange that a creature can be alive and well in one part of the world, and yet in civilized lands people…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy That’s neat! How small were they? Were they able to fly? I always thought the treasure hoarding was weird- why would an animal want money? But that makes sense. I wonder if there are any still alive? There are dinosaurs (or dragons, if you prefer), still alive in other parts of the world.

I agree on the magic dragon part. Not much of a fan. In my books that I’m writing (which book 1 is going to come out summer of ’17) my dragons just breathe fire and wreak havoc (no magic included).
You need to read the Peleg Chronicles. I gobbled the whole trilogy in 2 days. Great writing.

@kate-flournoy Oh yes, most dragon legends come from dinosaurs. It’s fun to research that. Have you watched Dinosaurs and the Bible by Dr. Kent Hovind? If you haven’t, it’s very interesting. Dragons like the ones in Beowulf or St. George and the Dragon are very obviously dinosaurs. However, the creatures with magical powers, telepathic power…[Read more]

The reality of our world is clearer seen through the unreality of imaginary worlds.
@Kate-Flournoy I love the wording you used here. @Hope once you’re done with NaNo, could you maybe possibly do a photo thing with this? It’s just too perfect.
And to answer your question, @Kate-Flournoy, I’ve not forgotten yet. Although it has gotten to the point…[Read more]

Hawkeye hands down. Heyward was pretty cool too though. More of the average person, and therefore easier for the reader to relate to.

Yes, the end was pretty sad. 🙁
The Indian cultures and frontier adventure was probably my most favorite part of the book.A lot of people don’t like Cooper’s long, antiquated writing, but I have read a lot of old literature for school, so I’m kinda used to it.
