@anna-brie have a read of this story and tell me what you think. I wrote it awhile ago (so I think I’ve improved, but…) I still love it though. 😛

Riiiiight @Daeus. Swahili. You had me fooled for a minute there…

… okay, no, you didn’t. I knew you would know exactly what a Huguenot was. 😉

And yeah, dialogue is a lot easier now that you mention it. I mean, it’s kinda hard NOT to live in the moment when you’re doing a dialogue scene. 😛 *tries to imagine a dialogue scene otherwise* Ugh.…[Read more]

Haha… it’s okay. You are by NO MEANS the first person to do so. It’s a Huguenot name, you might be interested to know… French. 😉

And any scenes I might have of that sort would all be from my very earliest literary endeavors and there is no way on this earth I am posting one of those, but I’ll post a little moment from my WIP you can…[Read more]

An order of monks who have taken a vow of cheerful chattering.

You have no idea how hard that made me laugh, @Anna-Brie. 😀

Ah, this is a great topic, @Daeus. I know EXACTLY what you’re talking about— only I never had to go through the transition you’re going through now. My books always started as movies in my head— a visual reference to set down on paper, and I wrote it as I saw it, not as I thought it ‘ought to be written’, if you know what I mean.

I don’t…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy: Now THAT would be something. 😛

@Daeus: Thanks so much for sharing this! I’ve never really thought about it before, but the example you gave makes a lot of sense. The second example really sucks you into the story because you feel like you’re a part of the story. Like I said, I’ve never really thought about that before. I’ll have to look out for “textbook writing” in my…[Read more]

So cute, @sarah-h. Tell your little brother ‘well done.’

A merry, cheerful old uncle who wins the heart of his glum, sour, peevish young niece.

And a fantasy uncle (brother to the king and uncle to the prince) who is NOT a usurper. 😛

Ooh… that would be something @Joy-Schmidt. 😀

Good thoughts, everyone. 🙂

Oh @writefury those last two—! Oh man, you need to write those. That would be beyond hilarious.

Or even explaining what a video is! 🙂
My youngest sister adores the old Cinderella. I love the new Cinderella movie. (The acted out one.) Have you seen it? If not, you should. It is great. 😛

The rain lashed down on my ship. I stood with my paws braced on the deck. Rats scurried around me, fastening things. One of them, the boatswain, slipped on the slippery deck and took a nose dive. He glanced up to find me watching him.
“Capt’n, we need to drop anchor. We are going to die if we continue.”
“Nonsense,” I roared back over the noise of…[Read more]

An elephant who just loves mice.

That is so cute @rolena-hatfield. Have you seen the movie Dumbo? That has an elephant who likes a mouse called Timothy. Sweet movie.:)

@anna-brie Are you interested in writing to each other? I can get Kelly to send you my email address if you want.

Yes, @Belegteleri, totally agree! 🙂 Saying that a man can sincerely serve a false god (nothing more than a delusion of his own erring human brain) and through it serve the one true God in Whom he does not believe is the height of arrogant ignorance.

I totally agree with you, @kate-flournoy. I was talking with a friend recently, and she was asking me all sorts of hard questions about God and life and something like this came up. I don’t remember the exact wording, but I know I said something that if you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died to save you from your sins and…[Read more]
