@mark-kamibaya, that is a great idea! I’m not sure how much coding ability we have at our disposal at the moment to actually make that happen, but it is definitely something to keep in mind. One of the main reasons I like it is because we have discussed trying to find ways to better help people be mentors and find mentoring. I think this might be…[Read more]

Hail and well met, Ethryndal! Welcome to the Forum community. I wish you all the best in your quest for a non-cardboard sword. Might I suggest suggesting the plastic-but-nearly-unbreakable Cold Steel swords on Amazon to your mom? Slightly less likely to inflict mortal injury than their metal counterparts (though I did make a boy’s lip bleed.…[Read more]

Any thoughts on this? Yes I do. So many.

Unfortunately I’m constrained for time by an article I’m supposed to be researching and the fact it’s my brother’s birthday, so I will limit myself to this.

Paolini is a flawed, but good writer. All of us who were hooked on the characters and their joint quest despite the writer’s obvious failings can…[Read more]

*thunderous applause* Welcome again, @writefury!!! Give Wolfgang a hug. Whatever you’re doing to him, he’ll need it.

@emma-flournoy How did you guess? 😉 Yes, Peter Hollen’s does have a version I like, which you can listen to here. Then there is a group, Zyrah, who sings the song in a really cool way. It’s more dramatic and ‘epic’ then most versions. You can watch that one here.

@emma-flournoy What? I like I See Fire. Though, to be fair, I didn’t like it for quite awhile. The credit version is ok, but there are other versions of the song itself, by better voices, that I really like.

@daeus basically the sound a normal a makes. a as in apple

Hmm, personal questions… *rubs hands* What are your ages? And are you all writers? Who keeps everyone in line and who is generally the crazy one? Also, how much of the Josiah/Daniel interactions are staged and how much is based off real character in real life?

@daeus So…apparently I’ve been saying your name wrong too. Day-us. So is it Daa-us with a short ‘a’ then?

@anne-of-lothlorien I’m 10,273 words into NaNo right now. It’s… coming. The biggest thing that helps me is breaking it into 500 word chucks, because I can write 500 words in 20-30 minutes. Then I’ll check email, KP, or do something else I need to get done before settling down for another 500 words. Also chocolate… if anyone has some dark…[Read more]

Probably 5 for right now, though it sounds like a cool idea…

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise Well, even if Kate can’t come, I may have to see if I can make it to the camp this year. I can’t swim but I do enjoy water… 😉

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise Why…why have I not thought of that? *adds ‘dead fall into water onto next summer’s list* I have fallen into water, but not because I was pretending to be dead and mindset is everything.

Have you ever been in water almost as deep as yourself, then exhaled and let yourself sink until you are laying along the bottom of…[Read more]

@Sarah-H @emma-flournoy I haven’t seen the play the play either, but I’ve read the 1500+ page book and I have to say the 2012 movie did an excellent job capturing its spirit and fleshing out the two dozenish characters. A few parts were rushed (Marius and Cosette’s romance, for one), but they could hardly make it any longer than its already…[Read more]

@Kate-flournoy See, I don’t really have anyplace to plan out fight scenes. I normally just do it in my head. But I’d love to watch you… *goes off to see how much secret cameras cost*

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise My Mom now officially thinks you are insane. And that, @kate-flournoy, is hilarious.

I’ve never done anything like that. *shakes head wisely* I’ve only had my brother zip-tie my hands behind my back to see if I could break out of them. (I couldn’t and had to instruct him on how to cut them without cutting me.) I can…[Read more]

Guysssssssssss *wails* I get home from church and get 38 emails…almost all of them from this thread. *pouts* I can’t keep up with you all.

And now, @Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise, @Kate-flournoy, @Jess, on to INTJs.

Kate is pretty much right. The logic. The suppressing emotions and not showing it because it’s ‘just’ a feeling and isn’t what…[Read more]

No, I don’t @kate-flournoy, and I’m jealous of you. Well, sometimes I slip into the character’s mind or put myself in their place to figure out what they would do. But generally I am very much the one writing. Well, I take that back; it depends on the character. I connect more closely with some and get in their heads better than with others.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Great! And thanks. I only have 500 words left!
