@salome01w4g By “cut on you,” do you mean perform surgery? That’s not necessarily true. My chiropractor gave me an x-ray because he was pretty sure there was something skeletally wrong with me, but he believes you should only get surgery if you have no other options. The idea behind an x-ray is that it can help identify your root problem. Oils and…[Read more]

@salome01w4g Have you gotten an x-ray?

@seekjustice

1. The Count of Monte Cristo
2. A Tale of Two Cities
3. Ben-Hur, Cry the beloved country, anything by G.K.Chesterton.

If you’ve read the lord of the rings, you should read the Silmarillion too.

Oh, and definitely read crime and punishment! You may like The death of Ivan Ilych as well.

There are more, but those are enough to start with.

@salome01w4g I can totally sympathize. I used to have bad back problems. I still have some pain, but I’m mostly recovered. Feeling discomfort after 30 minutes isn’t abnormal, but if you’re in pain from sitting that long, it sounds like you have back issues. I find that those ball chairs are more comfortable than normal chairs and standing is…[Read more]

@salome01w4g I worked up to it.

@dragon-snapper @jane-maree @winter-rose @graciegirl @ethryndal @salome01w4g I’ll be writing till 8:15-8:30

@Ethryndal yep, pretty much.

@kate-flournoy *knowing look* Why doesn’t that surprise me? Scarlet is such a dramatic color…either heroic or completely villainous…

@His-instrument You, my friend, are a genius. Gosh. I love the one of Sadness.

@CK4always my favorite color is any shade of red. 😉 Particularly scarlet, though crimson is close second.

@CK4always Welcome to the Kingdom!! I’m a leetle bit late but better late than never, right? 😛
Seriously though, welcome. 🙂 Hope to see you around!

@Emily Yay! Once you have that outline done, things get a good bit easier. (Or so I’ve heard. I haven’t finished the one for my WIP yet so I’m not speaking from experience. 😛 )

Hmmm, tough decision. I think it really depends on what your theme is for the story. Which ending serves to drive your message home the best?

But strictly from a…[Read more]

Yeah, I always picture Tolkien elves whenever anyone mentions elves. Tall, pointy ears. But I do agree with Kate that their appearance should probably reflect their culture a bit. For instance, I don’t think a mischievous, lazy-summer-days kinda culture fits well with Tolkien’s “version” which is more along the line of regal, wise, and aloof yet…[Read more]

Tall, yes. Pointy ears, probably. I like elves to be generally good, but a bit aloof. Grave in council but merry in company. Basiclaly, I like Tolkien’s elves and I don’t want anybody to reimagine them. If they do, they should create a totally different creature.

@Allison-Grace depends. What’s the tone of their culture? Small and delicate? Merry? Grave? Both? Wise, or simple? Shrewd, or peaceful? Really you could make anything work, but that’s one thing to consider. 😉

@Emily Oh, thanks!! <3 <3

Had any breakthroughs with you lighthouse story?

@salome01w4g Yes.

@hannah Yes.

@Emily XD No problem!

Ergh, that sounded like a perfect one for me to try, Hope! Unfortunately, I have my PSAT that week. *sour face*
