@princessfoo Yeah, elemental powers have been done a lot, but I’m enjoying this new spin on it.
What do you mean by cliche? There aren’t a whole lot of stories with elemental powers. I mean, I can think of a few, and even @kate-flournoy is working on something along those same lines, but everyone does it differently. Everyone visualizes–and…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 I’ve been reading what you and @kate-flournoy have been discussing, and while I didn’t actually read the Google Docs, I think you have a cool story going on. Elemental powers are a bit cliche, but I like the idea of a prison, with the Warden actually trying to protect the prisoners.
I know this hasn’t really been what you…[Read more] -

Okay. Now I know for next time.
How’s things, Kate? All I do is ask you questions about my story. How are things goin with your WIPs and your life? 🙂 @kate-flournoy

Elizabeth replied to the topic Novel Excerpt (Feedback Welcome) in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
Oh, man. Okay.
Yeah! I mean, I’m excited about it. I feel like maybe I should have waited to pick a theme until I knew the characters better. That make sense? @kate-flournoy

Elizabeth replied to the topic Novel Excerpt (Feedback Welcome) in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
Hm. Yes. Okay. *writes this down*
I’m concerned about my theme. When I started the story, Intelligence vs. Ignorance sounded like a good idea, but now that I’ve planned out the characters a bit more, and now that I know them better… I’m not sure the theme would work. These characters–especially Matthias and Kara–are going to struggle with a…[Read more]

Hey guys! I’m editing and might do some random writing if anyone wants to join. -
Elizabeth replied to the topic Novel Excerpt (Feedback Welcome) in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
Thanks! Midpoint. Yeah, that’s the word I was looking for.
Ugh…I still don’t know what to do with Blake. At this point, I’m envisioning him outside the prison, which actually isn’t where I had him at the beginning of my planning, but you know how that goes. The characters do what they want, sometimes.
Also, it makes sense when you consider…[Read more]

*sighs* Reaaaallly? Okay, Kate. I can promise you that I’ll try.
Actually, I take back what I said earlier. I’ve read the Hobbit all the way through, and I really like it. @kate-flournoy

Elizabeth replied to the topic Writer's corner #5 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
That’s good. I’m not really to the point where I need people editing my story, yet. Although @kate-flournoy reads my current WIP as I go. @jane-maree

I haven’t actually read the books, but I’ve seen all the movies…I tried to read the books, I swear! I was younger, though, and they were kinda…long. @kate-flournoy

This is one of the first forums I commented on, awww….
What is it with you people and being obsessed with LOTR? I just can’t see it…Can someone explain what the big deal is? @ethryndal @kate-flournoy @His-instrument @daeus

@Ethryndal @Kate-Flournoy @His-instrument
*Sigh* I wish I was an elf. I’ve always liked the Shire though. Maybe I can be one of those Rangers that guard the Shire. Does anyone know where the sign-up sheet for the Rangers of the North are?I love How It Should of Ended! My favorites are the ones for the first two Captain America movies.

Ethryndal replied to the topic Rogue One in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
@Kate-Flournoy I’m so proud of my growing Middle-Earth knowledge. I actually know where that is.
@His-instrument Aha, I didn’t know you were an Elf! Apparently, my elf eyes have failed… Well that formula checks out. I’m from Lothlorien. Which I already knew, but never even thought about the hair thing. So this proves it.

Okay, so I’m only, like, what– five months late? How did I miss this thread?
I liked Rogue One. A lot. One of my friends spoiled it for me though by telling me “Everybody dies” before I watched it (this is the same friend who told me that you-know-who kicks the bucket in Episode VII– both spoilers by complete accident). It helped me emotionally…[Read more] -

Hey guys, so my family is going on a car trip today, and we always have car troubles. From it catching on fire to the radiator suddenly not working, to etc. We have a family joke that our guardian angel hates it when we go on road trips because it has to work twice as hard. So please pray that we won’t have to stop for anything, because we’re…[Read more]

I’ve done that a little bit…the problem is I can’t think of any major plot points–at all. I know that Kara ends up being thrown out of the prison along with Matthias, and I know that should happen somewhere around the halfway point in the book, but…
Ugh. It’s so frustrating. I need specifics but no matter how hard I try I can’t come up with…[Read more]
