@Kate-Flournoy Galadriel is having a bit of a mid-life crisis. She’ll be over it soon.

@TheAcornMan Yeah, one definitely has to make an effort to keep themselves from being isolated and just doing their own thing all away from the world. And I mean, we do learn about things we don’t believe, so we’ll be equipped to interact with those who have different views; but not to believe everything we read about. It’s true though; there’s…[Read more]

OoH, OoH… WAHdoo, WAHdoo… OoH, OoH…

You have helped me. Hugely. *pats your head* And you know more. @Kate-flournoy

*cough*

Joke or not, you still know infinitely more about writing than I do. So there you go. *waggles eyebrows sternly*

@Kate-Flournoy

@Emily-D GAH, there are so many. I’ve got to say though, the The Emotions Thesaurus by Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi is one of the greatest things ever. Especially for me, a Thinker who doesn’t process emotions quite as… emotionally… as most normal people.

And Scrivener is great. I just got it, but already love it.

And Audiomachine music. Wow.

@Emma-Flournoy *meekly goes to her room*

*returns an hour later* The literal meaning of “les miserables” is “the miserable ones” or “the miseries”.

Do I pass the test? 😀

*shoves you in the freezer* Please don’t melt on me. I take it back. It’s not a dictionary.

@TheAcornMan *nod* That makes sense. One of my favorite things about it is the flexibility, and all the time you’re able to spend with your family instead of out most of the day, when half that time is just in-between time when you’re not even in classes. When you’re at home, that in-between time can be spent doing something productive, and much…[Read more]

@Daeus Well…sort of. It probably would interest me still, but I dunno…it sounds too obvious or something. It doesn’t quite click as natural. I’m not sure, which I know is really helpful but there it is.

Well, I thought that and I do think it, except that then I couldn’t think of any way it tied directly into the story or theme. It does, but…[Read more]

@TheAcornMan Did you like it?

@TheAcornMan OHH! That sounds familiar now…I’m not sure it’s just a European thing actually. I probably just didn’t recognize it right off because I’m homeschooled (it’s awesome). I think I knew the meaning at some point though.

@TheAcornMan Mmm…forgive my ignorance, but what’s half-term? A British thing particularly?
Heheh, yup. And it’s patriotic for you to do so. 😉

@Daeus I like it a lot, except that it sort of seems to give too much away. I mean, it’s not really giving anything away, nothing important. But it sounds like it; sounds too info-packed. Or something like that. I don’t dislike it though if that’s the only option.
I REALLY LIKE the gears of the world turn faster thing or something along those…[Read more]

@Mariposa Yeah, it wasn’t bad! I didn’t like it nearly as well as M I, but it was still pretty good. You?

@TheAcornMan Oh yeah, the costumes (and most other aspects) in Hornblower are absolutely fantastic. (I LOVE British acting. As with everything there are exceptions, but British acting is as a general rule much better than American. It’s amazing, and part of what makes the movies from BBC and other British companies so good.) AND the main…[Read more]

HEY @ETHRYNDAL, ME LIKES THE DICTIONARY. But as that was obviously intended to be disparaging, GO TO YOUR ROOM.
To recompense you have the supremely difficult task of figuring out just what ‘les miserables’ means in French. *scowl* And once you read that book I will likely be madder than you have ever seen if you still call it a…a DICTIONARY!…[Read more]

I really don’t think I’m the right person to help you out on this @kate-flournoy, especially since… well, you’re one of the people who helps me with my writing the most.

But I’ll be praying that you find a solution to this.
