Anyone and everyone else, I’m still going.

@winter-rose Ah, editing.
I finished copying a rough draft of a scene list. Thanks!

@winter-rose I’ll join you!
@daeus @kate-flournoy @jess @aella @ethryndal @anyone else
Are any of you writing tonight as well?

I try to write a tiny part of myself into each of my characters, so I’m not dealing with someone I totally don’t understand. If that isn’t possible, I write someone I’m really close to into my character, and talk with them about how they respond to different issues and such.

@Overcomer Sure thing.

Looks good, @ethryndal

Okay @Aratrea @Daeus, here’s what I came up with.

1. You should only help people if they have something to offer

2. Because of God’s love, we ought to love everyone, even those who don’t deserve it

3. We ought to reach out to those in need because it will make us better people

4. We shouldn’t bother trying to change the world because people…[Read more]

@northerner Basically, yes, though the answer’s not quite so simple.

Let’s say when you initial launch your book, you selling a lot of paperbacks but not many ebooks. I’d first ask, what’s making you sell a lot of paperbacks? Well, you’re probably in bookstores or catalogs where people who buy paper books browse. That might be your only…[Read more]

@Sierra-R To be perfectly honest, I don’t really hate it as much as I sound. There’s just some very twisted part of my nature that appreciates bashing things. 😛 I’m working on it.

@Sierra-R And this is why most people don’t understand Shakespeare. 🙂

@hope Ooohhh, ok. Success sounds like a good theme then.

@hope Hmm. Toughy. Well, success sounds like it might work. Another one I thought of is power. Then maybe your focusing question could be, what gives one the power for success. Ethaniel goes from thinking he has to make himself succeed to knowing his only success is through God’s power. The villain’s belief is that he finds the power to succeed…[Read more]

@northerner Ah, I guess I didn’t catch that. Well, I caught the part about heaven and earth and philosophies, but nothing else.

@northerner Hmm. What’s that a parody of?

The subject matter is really horrendous (I’m a metaphor fanatic), but I’m interested to know if there was anything particularly witty about it.

@northerner hm, yes. :/ Unfortunately the comedies have a lot of that. Quite honestly I stopped reading the comedies once I got a quarter of the way through The Merry Wives of Windsor. Not worth it. The Taming of the Shrew and Much Ado About Nothing were good. Otherwise, pretty much senseless.

@northerner No. What’s it about?

@Northerner *is consoled* His histories are definitely my favorites. Most of his other work I really don’t care for. A few exceptions— The Taming of the Shrew, Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet, and Macbeth if only for the villain 😛 but the histories are most certainly wonderful. Probably doesn’t help that it’s my favorite period of history too.…[Read more]

@Daeus XD I didn’t realize the whole thing was a direct spoof. That’s hilarious.

@Daeus XD I didn’t know the whole thing was such a direct spoof. That’s hilarious.
