Ethryndal replied to the topic A Name For Rodyn in the forum Characters 7 years, 8 months ago
@levipierpont Ooh, Rodyn Rider! That has such a nice ring to it. I was actually even thinking about making him along the lines of Flynn Rider, so it’s pretty cool that stood out to you about him. 🙂

Hannah R. replied to the topic Would all Ohioans please announce their presence? in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 8 months ago
Hello Ohioans (@gretald @ingridrd @daeus @winter-rose @levipierpont),
Okay, so I realize y’all in kingdoms (ahem… cities, that is) far far away, but I’m going to put another invitation out here. And I’m even more excited about this than the Writer’s Gathering, so if you can’t make it, I understand, but if you can, EXCELLENT.
A group of friends…[Read more] -

@levipierpont Says the kid posting on a forum. 🙂 😉
You know you’re a writer when you postpone birthday presents because you are right in the middle of writing a scene.

It is totally an excellent brain exercise, @bluejay. Do it. 😉
And thanks @levipierpont! That’s really cool— I hadn’t thought about giving them physical limitations that extend to the entire race. That’s really… I hadn’t thought about it. 😀

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic World Building in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 10 months ago
Oh wow, I missed this topic when it was created! Thanks so much for starting it, @levipierpont! Sorry to be so late, but it’s a little more difficult to find new topics with the forum rearranged as it has been. 😉
So, world-building. This is one of my absolute worst pet peeves, so bear with me as I rant. The first thing is cultures— an amazing…[Read more]

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic A Writing Game in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 10 months ago
Sure @levipierpont! 🙂
‘He had stood there for uncounted years. Just waiting— just watching. Just hoping they would come. He had never seen their faces, but he would know them regardless. It was who he was— why he was set here. To guard this door, though the blindness of his white marble eyes and the immobility of his carven form would deter…[Read more]

Kate Flournoy posted a new activity comment 8 years, 10 months ago
Yes— one thing @levipierpont. How on earth did you come up with the fantastic name Gavryn Wickert?!? It’s amazing! 😀
-
Wow, thanks! Um… So, the first name was obviously a mix. I wanted it to sound slightly futuristic, so I thought… If one of these random toddlers named Gavin running around grew up, might they name their kid GavRYN? So I thought it was a good idea.
Last name: I love the syllable Wick (or Wic, wicc, wik, and such). One month while I was…[Read more]

Wow— I’d love to, but I’m afraid I’ll have to decline. 🙁 My schedule won’t allow it. Thanks for the offer, though! 🙂 That’s really cool about the name— names are one of my passions, so I always enjoy learning where they came from and what they mean. 🙂

Ignore my spelling errors. 🙁 I’m terrible at checking my own writing.
*puts on thinking cap* Hrmmm… well, the first game that comes to mind is Blindman’s Bluff. Then there’s a similar but less ‘dangerous’ game that doesn’t have a name, where ‘It’ stands blindfolded in the middle of the room and one player at a time tries to sneak past (and around) him without getting touched.
And honestly I have zero head for…[Read more]
Thanks for the other game suggestions. Yes, I’ve played that once before and it was lots of fun. @kate-flournoy
Do you mean the theme would be spiritual blindness, and you’d just play physically ‘blind’ games, or would the theme be physical blindness (probably not, but I want to make sure I get what you’re saying. 😉 )?
And ditto to what Kate said about fundraising…sorry. 😛 Have some sort of craft sale, maybe? *helpless shrug*
No @emma-flournoy The theme is about physical blindness as that is what the fundraiser would be for. Helping raise money for tablets that stop River Blindness.
@bluejay, so sorry, no ideas at the moment, but I’ll let you know if I think of something. 🙂
@clairec No worries. Please do. 🙂
Okay. That sounds good. 🙂 What’s River Blindness?
@emma-flournoy River Blindness is cause by black flies that live down near the river. So people go do to get water and…how much information would you like??? It’s pretty graphic.
Ooh… all right, that’s good.
😛
I hope your fundraiser goes well if you do it.
Hmmm…. that’s a great thing to raise funds for, @bluejay! Who will you be giving the money to? (i.e. Compassion, Samaritan’s Purse, a missionary at your church, etc.) Well, the only games I can think of that haven’t already been suggested would be searching through something like rice, blindfolded, to find a small object, like a marble, pebble,…[Read more]
@julia-r The funds will be going to CBM.
Hey, I like that game. You say you’ve done similar games before, can you tell me how much rice would you put in the dish (how big is the dish) and are they allowed to use their hands?
I would get a really big storage container (like utility bins) and fill it with as much rice as you can. Rice is cheap, so it shouldn’t be a cost issue. And yes, you can use your hands! It’s fun to rely only on touch to find things.
Another similar suggestion (this might appeal more to younger folks) is to put the pieces of a 6-piece puzzle in the…[Read more]
@bluejay Would it be indoors or outdoors? I know two games that raise money, but they don’t have a thing to do with blindness. You know the type of game where you try to throw a small object either into a basket or through a small hole in a board or to knock something down? You could charge 25 or 50 cents per toss. The other game is quite a bit…[Read more]
@sarah-h It would be indoors. Thank you SO much for all the wonderful ideas. I have decided not to run the fundraiser so a bit because I am so busy with prier commitments. But the ideas are wonderful and will be in a file for future reference.
