Kate Flournoy

@kate-flournoy, thanks so much for the encouragement! 🙂

@kate-flournoy Of course I like your donkey. *so cute* and I love your sheep too. His wool looks really curly, which is great. And I love Joseph too, and the colours, and EVERYTHING!!! Great job Kate. 😀 😉

Sorry, didn’t work.

@Kate-Flournoy, facial expressions are amazing, but difficult. I am not nearly as good at people as I am at depicting animals. Just tried to post my newest piece- a prismacolor drawing of a peregrine falcon- but it didn’t work. I may try again later.

I must agree with you, @kate-flournoy That is the most painful. I have several characters I’m thinking about cutting from my WIP right now… I’m not totally sure if I will or not, but I am fairly certain I will have to take out at least one, and I already cut another character from this, but it is probably the hardest part of editing for me.…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy THE WORST.
Oh yes, the villains are just soo fun. I chopped one of my side-villains out of the story completely… He doesn’t appreciate it much. He’s one of the worst behaving at the moment. XD

YES! Except there are a few, who are just like, “Excuse me. My family/friends/side/team needs help, and YOU KILLED ME.” later on when…[Read more]

@overcomer Good! Weakening is good! XD

@kate-flournoy and @overcomer, Y’all’s characters do that too?! *jumps up and down* Yessss!! This is my club. XD
“More of a chronicler than a story teller”, Bossy and threatening characters, better-natured ones guarding against the wilder ones, “They can’t seem to be able to grasp (or else don’t app…[Read more]

Luke Skywalker sure wasn’t happy about it, @kate-flournoy 😉 I’m glad we’re both crazy.

That chainmail idea is genius, @daeus ! I’ll have to give it a try if any of my characters turn sour on me.

My characters are (generally) a little more grateful. They seem to understand that I am the only one who can make them immortal . . .

@kate-flournoy Silly characters. You need to show them who’s boss.

@kate-flournoy. You gotta watch out for those characters. Have you thought about wearing chain mail to bed?

@Kate-Flournoy, I did try wood burning once; I made a beautiful picture of a ring- necked pigeon and then ruined it by burning the background in an attempt to make it a night-time portrait. I may try it again at some point. Ink blots can be a problem, but I usually solve them by transforming them into buckets or shark fins and suchlike. ( If…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy, we did scan the pictures and then Sarah posted them on our unfinished website, from whence we posted them on here. Painting this one was fun, especially since I was doing it for a close friend. You will, however, notice that the sky has several layers to to the short drying time and therefore relatively poor blending qualities of…[Read more]

Thanks everyone! I’m glad y’all like the pictures. I could not do any of them without the help of the Lord.
@Kate-Flournoy, I most enjoy drawing birds and fish. I have been using the same set of ergosoft pencils for the past six years, and I just got a new set of prismacolors a few weeks ago. I usually draw pictures for thank-you cards, but I…[Read more]

Haha! Yes, you totally belong here, @Aella . My nemesis is weakening. 😉

You’re very brave, @daeus ! Rewriting your whole story is a bold and tough move. I envy your pertinacity.

So true about moms! I told mine what you said, and I think she agreed with you. 😉

You do that, @hope ! Don’t let the awesomeness of your neglected novel go to…[Read more]

@hope Ahh, I see cool!

@kate-flournoy Ohhhhh NOW I’m even MORE excited for it to be ready!

Mallory,
Definitely nitty-gritty work… My eyes see the flaws running up and down and sideways and ALL OVER. XD but my brain responds with: Yes. you’re quite right. It’s bad. Nope no idea on how to fix it… So I stare at the page and make doodles… XD You said this topic was for moping, yes? AND Rambling? Ooooh I think I definitely belong…[Read more]

Thanks, @hope 😉

I’ve finished my procrastinating and worked on my bio, but it still needs tweaking. I’ll have to wait and finish it tomorrow, for my editor in chief (my mom 🙂 ) is off duty. I seriously don’t know what I’d do without her! She’s a big help when it comes to the edits. (As are all of you!)

Godspeed on your projects everybody!…[Read more]

Characters just make stories, don’t they, @kate-flournoy ? My characters are like my best friends I haven’t met yet. 🙂

I’m glad. 🙂 @kate-flournoy , that’s one of the things I don’t like about online discussions, etc., it’s so hard to tell whether you’re being annoying or helpful. (Maybe that’s because I am both? Hmm . . .) 😉

Anyway, you’ve given me hope, thanks!

I love poems in stories. 😀

Talk about Deja Vu! That would be cool! I’m sure that if I see…[Read more]

Ramblers are welcome too! 😉

Thanks for joining the club, @kate-flournoy @hope @aella ! It sounds like we’re all stuck working on the nitty gritty, perhaps not-so-fun parts of our projects.

I’m working on procrastinating right now, which is going really well thus far . . . when I’m done, I might take another crack at finishing that…[Read more]
