I would just like to make it known that I had ice cream with raspberry syrup tonight. 🙂 I thought of you all. 😛

Hi @Mariposa! *wrings your hand vigorously* Nice to meet you and your dinosaur. And yes to the Creation scientist stuff!! We’re of the same mind. 😀 Ever been to the Creation Museum in Kentucky? With several loud moving dinosaurs in the lobby?

@Mark-Kamibaya I feel honored. 😛

That’s pretty cool stuff, but I am so busy right now I’ve hardly even had time to get on KP. Oh well. So, y’all have a good discussion. *bobs off*

@Winter-Rose I bet!

@dragon-snapper Yeah, I really think writing science fiction with these definitions in mind will improve your story at least in the areas of character and theme.

I really like that definition of sci-fi for obvious thematic reasons. Also, sci-fi can’t just be about technology and the extraordinary because that would disregard certain genres of…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper In what way?

@kate-flournoy I’ll try to brush it up a bit this weekend . . .

… After skimming over this, I’m beginning to think that cliches are just paradoxes.

@mark-kamibaya Thanks for putting this together!
“The literature of the human species encountering change.” I see why this caught your eye. I never considered Sci-Fi that way. Really, I always thought it was a fiction of technology and extraordinary things. Star wars kind of thing, if you know what I mean. 😛
But certainly, just writing s…[Read more]

@hope @kate-flournoy @jess @bluejay @christi-eaton Did anyone else see that they’re making a Ranger’s Apprentice movie?

LOL! 😀 It’s hilarious how easily our brains can become mush. And I realize I came off a bit strong so, sorry if anybody got irritated or anything. Either way, you guys showed me how I need to clarify things in my writing. My main point definitely wasn’t that clear. I’ll probably update the article and tweak it a bit before I send out my monthly…[Read more]

Sci-Fi Research Part 1

So the first thing I did was research what science fiction actually is. I looked for a whole bunch of definitions. Many went something like “science fiction is a genre that deals with futuristic science and technology” or “it’s merely a setting.” Personally, I found the “dealing with technology” definition to be quite…[Read more]

@Anne-of-Lothlorien At your service. *bows*
(*bounces on toes* And I provided the link to my obscure one, so…that won’t be hard. 😉 You should read it. )

@Winter-Rose Yeah, that makes sense… 🙁

@clairec @feedingmygoldfish @kate-flournoy @all the singers
Hi guys! So, I’m trying to teach myself to sing. Do you guys know where I should start?

@jayniecatgirl08 Go to page 23 of this and you should find instructions on how to do it. Actually, I think it would be easier if I just copied and pasted it here…
1. I click ‘change profile picture’ in my profile.
2. I select my file and arrange the crop the way I want it but I DO NOT CLICK ‘crop image’
3. I then right click the photo shown i…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy @graciegirl @that_writer_girl_99

Personally, I think I didn’t write the article very well, because you’re not getting my main point. Lemme break down what I was trying to say in this article.

In the beginning, I sided with the belief that cliches are . . . well, the devil. Then, I defined a cliche as anything so overused it…[Read more]

Yay! This is gonna start some (lively) discussions.

@kate-flournoy I admit I was confused by your response. A little worried but more confused. @that_writer_girl_99 gave a popular explanation. Then, @graciegirl clarified it for me a little more. But I’m still quite confused (maybe it’s because I lack sleep, but whatevs).

From what I understand,…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien You should read some poems by Longfellow.

@dragon-snapper Sorry, very late reply. I’ve seen The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. You think it was good?

@JaynieCatgirl08 They are anyway, whether or not they jump at a cucumber or not 😉 😛
