Kate Flournoy

@kate-flournoy Oh dear! XD

@kate-flournoy Thanks! I’m glad you like her. I have to stop looking at her for now, otherwise I’m going to see all the flaws and my perfectionism will drive me crazy! 😉 Your drawing’s really good, too! It’s a lot more realistic style than mine 🙂

@ethryndal Thanks so much! I seem to have created a style that’s somewhere between realistic and…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Wait, so the MC and his wife are both fighting on different sides of the war? You’re a cruel author. 😉 So it sounds like both of them are similar in powers and EiL, and the only distinction is what side they’ve chosen?

Ah; yes. Good example of that character type.

@kate-flournoy Oooh; I like it. Very nice way to alternate between two different perspectives there to create a rich dichotomy and irony. Both supporting themes seem particularly well-mixed in the last section, where morality is tied into hope. Well done.

@kate-flournoy Okay, let’s see if I can figure this out….

*does stuff*

I can’t. How do I add an image?? I took a photo of the drawing and now have it on my PC.

@kate-flournoy Oooh, spoiled for choice! I’m going to draw one or two now! 😀

@dragon-snapper @winter-rose @ethryndal @kate-flournoy @daeus @r-j-wordsmith @you-know-the-drill I’ll be here editing a couple poems for the next hour or so if anyone is around. 🙂

@kate-flournoy Exactly! And also writers who need the inspiration, too. Just something to help visualize.

@daeus They sound like they could be feisty. Almost like squirrels, I’m going to give it a shot and show you the results asap 😛

@i-j-anderson This is a cool idea! I love drawing characters (that doesn’t mean I’m always good at it 😛 Sometimes I get a gem, but it takes a lot of time sometimes) and I would also be interested in seeing what other people’s ideas for my characters would be.

Another thing I’d suggest we could do is after people draw other peoples’ character,…[Read more]

@overcomer @winter-rose @daeus @r-j-wordsmith @northerner @jess @kate-flournoy @ethryndal @graciegirl @Audrey-caylin I’ll be writing/planning/brainstorming if anyone wants to join me.

An update for those of you interested – I have mostly gotten the short story written. It’s actually a scene from a pre-existing longer book I wrote last year, which I had fixed and edited a bit to make sense as it’s own short story (removing irrelevant plotpoints, reintroducing the characters, things like that) I had asked the opinion of one of my…[Read more]

@Northerner, @Kate-flournoy, @Dragon-snapper
thanks for all this, it really gives me something to think about

@Kate-flournoy, in a world (we are talking about fantasy too, right?) whose rules allow for that kind of thing, yes. Not in our world, unfortunately. But in the world of the example I used, Owen Barfield’s fairy tale The Silver Trumpet, magic can be good or bad depending on how it’s used. In that story there’s one old lady who uses her power for…[Read more]

@Kate-flournoy, right. Did I say something that implied otherwise?

@kate-flournoy Gotcha. Thanks again! 😛
Okay then. Definitely the Mentor, and maybe the Evil King (if that exists).
@aratrea

@kate-flournoy Gotcha. Thanks again! 😛
Okay then. Definitely the Mentor, and maybe the Evil King (if that exists). Huh…I’d even say all of them but I think that the episode would end up being an hour long then. 😛
@aratrea

*takes back two cents*
@kate-flournoy Ah, okay. I have not read the Silmarillion yet, though I see that it would make a difference. 😀 I do think that it is important how magic is portrayed, but my book went a little whacko with it. 😛 Thanks for clarifying that.

@kate-flournoy,
I guess my question is, even if it isn’t ‘magic’, is it biblical to use something like that?

@kate-flournoy
Thanks, I tried to check to see if it was already on here, but here were a lot of discussions to go through
