Sarah Hoven posted an update 8 years, 7 months ago
@bluejay Okay, so what should we do when ClaireC comes back? I’m stuck on ideas; do you have any? Should we create a special topic to celebrate? *rubs hands together* Let the plotting begin! 🙂

@michael-stanton Actually, the KP forum is the only “social media” thingy I’m allowed to interact on….I don’t even know what Instagram and Pinterest are. So that’s why I haven’t used them. 🙂

@daeus I’m so glad things are going better. I’d like to read your article, although I’m not very good at giving advice.

Oh, what fun! I’ll be busy next Friday, but this sure looks exciting! 🙂

@kate-flournoy What is Little Dorrit about? I’ve heard of it before, but I can’t remember where.

This is a really cool story! Let me tag some more people who are better editors than I…@kate-flournoy @daeus @bluejay @hope @gretald
I like the way you incorporated the Scripture into the story- especially at the climax. -

@daeus That’s so sad. I’m praying for you.

I also like serious historical movies, like Valkyrie, which is about Claus Stauffenberg’s plot to kill Hitler (@kate-flournoy You’ve seen that one, right?), and Jean La Pucelle, which is a French movie about Joan of Arc, extremely accurate and very well done, plus it’s in French which makes it doubly awesome.

Sarah Hoven replied to the topic Hiring! Requirements: General Helpfulness in the forum Novel Critique Requests 8 years, 7 months ago
@Rolena-Hatfield Aha! I wondered why they were using knives instead of revolvers. While I don’t know if that sentence is gramatically impossible, you switch subjects halfway through the sentence without warning, which is a little confusing. I think it would be less confusing if you said “he reached out and clutched the cards, causing a cold sweat…[Read more]

@Michael-Stanton My favorite thing about the forum is just being able to interact with all the people; I’ve taken a break from writing, so I don’t use it for that right now. I can’t think of anything that I don’t like or that I wish was different. It’s awesome.

@Brandon-Miller Yay, another KP staff person! It’s nice to meet you. (p.s. my tag is @Sarah-h; the -oven gets deleted.) You do learn the tags pretty quickly; it’s not as hard as it seems.

Sarah Hoven replied to the topic Favorite Movies in the forum Film 8 years, 7 months ago
@gretald I’ve seen those! Fireproof is my favorite; Courageous is too sad, and I was so mad at the ending because Shane was my favorite character. I do like Javier, though, so I can’t say I don’t like the movie. Have you seen their first movie, Flywheel? It’s not the same quality, being a first movie, but I still really like it.
The music in…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield Yes, more! 🙂 This is great. Does this story take place in England or America? It seems like a Wild West setting; is it? There is one sentence that looks like a mistake:
“He reached out and clutched the cards a cold sweat running down the back of my spine.” I don’t see anything else. -
Sarah Hoven replied to the topic Favorite Movies in the forum Film 8 years, 7 months ago
October Baby is one of my favorites. (It’s about abortion.) The way they developed the theme and characters is really well done. One Night with the King is really good, too; it’s about Esther. Oh, and I just watched Prince of Egypt for the first time a few days ago. I didn’t know it was possible for an animated video like that to make me cry, but…[Read more]

@michael-stanton I use the forum most often. Aside from that and the home page, I don’t really go on the rest of the site (although I really like it and I’m glad it’s there.)

Sarah Hoven replied to the topic Hi. in the forum Start HERE 8 years, 7 months ago
@gretald Haha! That sound worth reading. My favorite is Henry V, mostly because of Pistol and the Welshman. And it has a happy ending, unlike the tragedies. I know Hamlet was supposed to be sad, but I thought it was very funny. It’s probably my second to favorite one.

Sarah Hoven replied to the topic Stop motion in the forum Film 8 years, 7 months ago
@bluejay I haven’t read them, but I like @spradlin‘s suggestion. “Fighhting their way out if the darkness” – that sounds cool.
I don’t know how possible this is, but what if you pick up where Tarea left off and go a little further into the story? I like Cedric and Tarea, and I want to know what happens next.

@sarah-h Hmm…let’s see. I have not been thinking about it much, been busy with a wedding and now I’m sick, but…
You have my email, so maybe we could write a story for her, or a poem.
*rubs hand across brain* This is hard, isn’t it?
Oh dear, I’m sorry you aren’t feeling well. I hope you are better soon. Remember a while back you said that you were on medication, but you wouldn’t know if the problem was fixed until the end of this month? Do you know yet? Is it better?
Was it your sister’s wedding? That must have been fun. Weddings are so wonderful.
Now to the point.…[Read more]
@sarah-h I am feeling better now, thank you. I have a nose cold, but at least I am on the road to recovery.
Yes I do remember. I think it hasn’t fixed me. 🙁 So when I take my medication I have to wait an hour before taking other medication. So I had a sore throat and I wanted to suck a lozenge, so I didn’t take my medication. I ended up vomiting…[Read more]
@bluejay Ouch, that doesn’t sound fun. 🙁 I’ll keep praying. And it would be fun to try to write that. How would we do it?
We can use my email to write it, so Claire doesn’t see it. As for how to work on a story together I’m not so sure. Any ideas on that side?
@sarah-h
@bluejay umm….well, let’s see. There are two separate stages to writing a story: 1 plot it all out and outline it, and 2 actually write it. One of us could outline it, in a scene-by-scene sort of way, and the other could put it together. Which stage would you want to take? You are by far the better writer, but if you would rather outline I will…[Read more]
@sarah-h I’m definitely better at the writing than the outline. So if you want to outline a story and send it through, I’ll see what I can do. And I’ll probably send stages through to you as I am working on it, so that I make sure that I’m doing things right. Does that sound like a plan?
I am feeling much better. Tried from blowing my nose all…[Read more]
@bluejay Sounds good to me. 🙂
Oh yay, I’m glad you’re recovering! The recovery stage is nearly as unpleasant as the actual sickness for me, except for the anticipation of knowing it’s almost over. Is it winter over there, or spring? It’s fall here, and the weather is cooling down.
@sarah-h It is spring over here. We are in the first month and nearly at the end of it. Wow! Time flies when you’re having fun. 🙂
@bluejay Spring! Do you have flowers? That sounds so wonderful. We’re heading into winter over here.
@sarah-h Hundreds of flowers. Although we have a lot less then normal because we picked a whole lot for my sister’s wedding. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Winter is good if you get snow. Otherwise I find it wet and miserable. But God gave us winter for a reason, so I guess I shouldn’t complain. 😉
@bluejay Here in Phoenix, we just get the cold without the snow, or really much wet, either. What is the deepest snow you’ve gotten?
@bluejay I know, I have just earned the title of Grand Procrastinator, but I will be thoroughly busy with church stuff until next week. Next week holds a vast abundance of nothingness, though; no youth group, no small groups, no conference, so (I think and hope that) I will have plenty of time come Monday.
@sarah-h 🙂 That’s all right. I am not working on any story at the moment, so it works out for me too. Hopefully though I’ll see you next week. 🙂
@bluejay Oh yay, I’m glad it works out. 🙂
